One Hour One Life Forums

I think it would be hilarious to break out of the tutorial, and then roleplay as a tutorial AI with the noobs.

Who knows, we might actually be able to cut down on the berry muncher population using this method. Lol.

It's also getting big in Japan and Korea, just look on Youtube

Ahhh...Zet the Great, an elusive figure who appears in cities late at night eastern time, and leaves messages for the next generation. He/she/they are a legend, I have met them once in person within the game and they are certainly a quirky figure.

I 100% agree that peak civs at the top of the tech tree are very stale. Too many times lately I have been born into developed civs with everything under the sun, and I felt kind of empty inside. When everything is already created, it is very boring to play. Sure I can build some superfluous stuff likes roads, and planes, and buildings...but *yawn*.

I have had multiple babies stay with me as a girl who abandoned her birth camp, and honestly roleplaying pays a huge role in that. A couple of time before I have lied and said that my mom dumped me in the wilderness, and that I have no idea where our original city is. I have also pretended to be a new player, and that often seems to tug at the heartstrings of veteran babies. Often I will rope in a competent brother from my host society as well, so that we can double team our new camp which seems to have a positive effect on baby survival.

Honestly, I am not opposed to stealing a cart and basic tools. If the original society cannot rebuild something so simple as a steel hoe, then they probably don't deserve to survive anyways.

I have been born into that family 2x today, both times as males. There was a major overpopulation problem at one point, with a bunch of afk women giving birth to inordinate numbers of babies (including myself) in one of the berry farms. We ended up having to kill a couple of them to thin the pop. The second go around I played, the population was stable, and the city was still expanding (about 30 mins ago).

Welcome to OHOL, you will get used to it in time.

Nowadays I don't even mind being murdered every few lives, it adds some spice to things. I have gotten used to the craziness.

As for racist parents, this has been an ongoing thing, but I don't let it bother me...most are noobs. Just suckle off of them until you can give them the middle finger, or find a surrogate mother who is not racist. Surrogate parents are awesome, especially if you are a role player as I am.

Awesome idea that sticks with the overall vision of the game, and allows people to play with their friends.

Well, truthfully, griefing has been a problem in the past as well (and a pretty bad one for awhile). It seems to come and go in cycles, but we had it pretty well under control when the apocolypse update hit. It started back up with the recent resource nerfing updates, as griefers have been able to take advantage of the fragile state of civs to completely dismantle them. In the past, people could afford to be more watchful, but now every game is a frantic attempt to find and properly utilize the finite resources. This makes the few cities that do exist, easy targets.

The key is to leave camp as soon as you can as a child. Grab a basket, fill it with food and gtfo. Go about 10-12 biomes away and then set your new camp. I stopped bringing advanced tools with me, because this makes it so that my children have to work harder. If my children are working, they will be less likely to grief. This also creates a bit of a safety window where people can't immediately forge knives, and this window normally allows a generation or two to mature in a low grief environment.

About half the time these satellite settlements fail, and the other times they succeed. Honestly, you have a better chance of surviving at these camps then you probably do at a village, given the recent problems.

Its sad I agree, I can see why griefers grief more than I used to, but it is certianly devastating our villages at the moment.

Until Jason makes more changes, the best bet at the moment is leave established villages and start new camps, if you want a family line to survive then you have to spread the diaspora. It won't save the village of course, but it can save the family.

To Cole, it was fun running away from our clueless mother with you. I wish I could have taught her some basics, but she was keeping too many babies and risking our own livelihood.

I hope you found the Iron that I was carrying back to the forge when a snake lurched out at me. Thank you  for getting camp setup while I tended to the children, we had a fun game.

We are part of the old guard Alleria, we still think about things like training new players, but as a whole I believe that this tradition is dying.

As Ozymandias points out, too many times children are given orders like "make a fire" but they are not given each step. Earlier today, after our eve mother died right next to a berry bush, I had to teach my younger brother how to craft a sharp stone and create a home marker. We are talking about the most basic of tasks, and yet he did not know how to do it. Maybe he just started an hour ago, but I can't help but suspect that he has played more than that.

As you point out, the big problem is that time is much more of a commodity than it used to. Im trying to think of a workaround for time and the resource strain, but the solution is not immediately clear.

Interesting roleplaying strategy, killing outsiders.

Another strategy that people used to use on this forum pre-apocolypse is leaving camp and then dropping daughters at good spots across the map, this spreads the lineage out to the point that it becomes highly griefer resistant.
