a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building

Men are very useful in this game. They can go out and get supplies such as rabbit, water, and seeds for women who are mainly tied down due to the fact they are spawning babies. If you find men ineffective in this game, then you are not utilizing them right.
I totally agree! I actually find playing as a male is rather fun than to play as a female. You are free to do anything you want without any baby popping out to stop you.
Plus this gives me a break from the "responsibilities" of the camp and the children. Because as a male, I tend to go out into the wilderness and hunt for rabbits, seal, milkweed (if there is none near camp to make clothes)
Whereas, as a female, I tend to find myself stuck in the camp. Doing mostly farming. Since, it's convenient near the newborns.
had this problem aswell. i downloaded something wrong. didnt pay attention, which was right. but i downloaded something else and then i could install the launcher. one was only a html. the other was with an exe
Oh! I see! Thank You!!!
HAHA nice! I was the girl in that one... I tried to start a revolution lol by keeping my sons outcasted out of town and building an army. I had three sons. I don't know if they made it. I died sadly.
When I run the OHOL Launcher Setup, It won't let me chose the file where I have OHOL installed to.
Weren't you Turnipseed?? How did you change your name? :0
@Joriom
Hello. I totally agree with you Powa. I personally, have never grief or kill anybody. It never crossed my mind to do so. I hate to ruin other people's experience. Actually maybe I have thought about killing a few people due to them not following the rules. For an example, before the update with the added worms, people kept picking the carrot seed row even after numerous times of me telling them DONT. That's when I want to be stabby. (Plus the place was overpopulated.... even though there were berry bushes NEARBY!! Urggg... calling me an old man lol for getting onto them.) However, besides this, I've never taken on a role of killing or griefing for the sake of other "bad" people's action for a Cause.
I've been playing on this since the first week of March, and saw how this game and community grew. I love reading other people's experience on here on the forums and a few on why people became killers or griefers themselves.
@KucheKlizma
I don't fully understand your reasoning/POV of griefing. Of course there methods and ways to do so. But why do them? I can understand wanting to do so everynow and then, but to do so every single time? Why? I don't mind the griefing or the killing. But when it happens every single time the killer is spawn back to the village they kill again. Over and over till there's nobody left. Maybe they went onto the next village and kill again. Their sole purpose is to kill or grief. I find this sad and pity these players.
Gods....
That's it. Lol. A-jason like god... A statue of random things like how people are going on with anti-spider god, penguine god, carrot god, seal god, ect... something for role playing purpose lol
It makes sense if we can build monuments already lol
I HAVE STARTED A RELIGOIUS WAR AND I LOVE IT!
HAHHAHA I love this shit too lol. But I am intrested in your Anti-Spider God after I read how it came to be LOL.
You have gain a follower. ![]()
I think most people given the choice would just turn it off. In the end it'd be bad form not to, because if there's no one to give birth to you then you get to start out as an Eve.
I'm fine with the current system, even if I feel bad about having to ditch my babies in the woods because I'm at a stage I can't even take care of myself.
Well I think, either way, people would just abandon the baby or keep them even without the toggle button on their own. It's just a pain having to deal with unwanted babies and wanted.
They would eventually get used to know when's a good time to toggle on and when to toggle off as time goes on through their experience. It might be shaky at first!, but everybody is pretty adaptable at this game. (This game is pretty much how it should be, adapating and learning experience.)
For myself, I've been playing since the first week of March. This game became my addiction till these past few days.
And personally, if it comes to the point where there are more Eve's out there, than that's actually a great thing!
I would love to start my own family line instead of having to been born into one (with a not so good of a last name) espeically those without a family name or into big colonies. (I Dont know why, but I think big colonies means corruption within them. Ive been into a few of myself where I didn't like the community of it.)
I believe part of Jason's idea of the game is to start over and over. Instead of being born into a community where everything is already made for you and your at the point where you don't know what to do. (I think I read that somewhere on here. Don't rely on this statment too much lol)
Plus, new players can learn their way of the game by being born as a Eve in the wilderness or the opposite into a bigger community.(Depending on the people who want to teach them.)
I know there are people out there that won't believe in the system and would just leave the toggle button ON because they feel like every player should have a chance being born and would never touch the Toggle button OFF. This is their choice, compare to other people.
I'm just saying, this is just a choice to add. People can leave it On or Off throughout their entire gameplay.
But in the end, it's all about growing into a stable rich community where YOUR lineage could live on.
*Sorry about the long post lol.
There should be a toggle button for women (notice how I didn't say "moms") to allow to give birth to new borns. Not all women are forced to bring children to the world.
Or to make things more realistically, the women who have toggle "OFF" for childbearing can still have a chance of having kids at a low percent. Maybe 20% out of 100%. (IDK. Something like this.) Because the lack of safety sex, and you might never know of some unintentional encounters with a "rogue" male.
My point is women can decide for themselves if they want to spread their leggs or not. LOL
On the plus side, they don't have to waste other people times when logging in as a newborn to find their mother's don't want them. This can also be a great factor into building a more balance population promblem.
***And the most important information of them all, is to control KILLERS or GRIEFERS from being born constantly within the same village.
This will definitely help even though it's a TEMPORARILY fixed situation at the moment for these "Bad People".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe we can toggle this by saying "Baby Off" or "Baby On". (You get the gist.) Or perhaphs use a key toggle by pressing "Shift+(The Plus Sign)" for ON or "Shift+(The Negative Sign) for OFF. That way people won't accidently press any single key letter on their keyboard.
What do you guys think?

I think it wasn't Jason's original intention to run around murdering in the game. But he wanted to see how far a society could develop. And I'm afraid there are negative sides to that too. Without them the game would end quickly, but in the end it would also be unrealistic. So how much I loathe this kind of approach to the game so much I find it possible in order that this is possible. I would only wish that Jason imlement an update, that you don't kill with the knife or the arrow with the first hit but that you are injured first. This is even more realistic and makes it even more difficult for the murderers. Obviously it is the most important topic because it is discussed and complained about in so many topics. So anyway, I hope for an exciting further development of the game and the society that arises in the game. There will always be evil and love.
You know I have a great Idea! Why can't we just get a maximum stab or shot at 2 instead of one hit, and Jason can create some new update where there is medicine we can make. Hopefully this can HELP balance out the mass murder.
Okay just a few seconds ago. I don't know why this bothers me but a couple of dudes said they were going to "rape the women" as in murdering them just for the fun of it. Now, I don't understand how is that a joke. I mean games can be funny and all. But it just kinda creep me out when they said that.
I think Jason Rohrer needs to put a penalty when people murder in general. This is why I hate colonizing in big towns. It always end up one way or another. I mean we work so hard just for a couple of dudes laughing and giggling about "raping" the whole town.
I don't know. What do you guys think? I had to make a account just so I can vent lol. (And yes I'm a female.)

(This is Edit) Okay so I was reading the a post called "Why murdering?" And it pretty much answers my question and thoughts. This happens in a "historically" concept of an idea that this is what happen in real life even ages ago and all that jazz. I'll accept my defeat and play again. So I'll put in my title closed.
BTW this happen on Server 4 for you guys wanting to know. Morally, gamers nowadays should know better. That's what I think.
