Hello! I was Ed!

This thread is like a game of family telephone. First of all, my brother Jon, was a serial killer. He let me know after he killed another victim. But he loved me, so he would never kill me.

I had a knife! I was tempted to go around and kill people in honor of my brother, but I generally dislike griefers, and everyone else in the farm seemed like a hard worker. So instead I kept the knife in my backpack and scared the kid with the bow and arrow.

The old man who gave Jk Howling (the kid) the bow and arrow thought I was the murderer. And I remember seeing him running around with a bow and arrow and looking scared and I thought, that kid was going to accidentally kill someone.

I saw Eve Tacuri pop out of air in front of me! It was the coolest thing! And she was popping a ton of babies, so the farm was going to be alright for a while. I gave her my knife. Someone else gave her a backpack with more knives! I took one of the knives because three was overkill.

Then I ran as far east as I could, and remembered my brother before dying.

Yes, alternate server for PVP and let people choose where to play.

#153 Re: Main Forum » Fathers? » 2018-06-19 20:52:27

I don't want fatherhood or a man getting to choose a woman being pregnant. Or even more ways to kill off a civilization.

Just because you want it, doesn't mean the majority does.

Female babies suiciding is a huge deal to Eves, or to mothers in tiny towns.

I've been in several towns where civilization died off because of the lack of young girls.

Saw a full grown woman pop out of air in front of me! Eve Tecuri. Who claimed to be my Eve (Sampson)
That was the first time I've ever seen it, and also kinda amazing since as an Eve before she had popped up in that farm.

Anyways, I was born Ed, and I had an elder brother Jon, who I loved, who was a serial killer. He died young, starving himself, and I missed him the rest of my life. But the farm was mostly peaceful afterwards.

I once started an extremely long family line, I was Eve Kingsley, I founded a small settlement and was lucky enough to have children that knew what they were doing. The next day I logged on and was born to the Kingsley Clan, still going strong about 15 hours later. The experience was surreal. Even though I had founded that place, I found myself strangely alienated from it. It was completely different to how I left it, a few times I questioned whether it was even the same place at all. The only thing separating it from other villages I'd been born into was my last name and the kiln and forge I'd built right on the border of a swamp and desert. Nothing personal. No legacy. Villages are all the same, you don't really belong to any of them. Even though I should have been proud at how far my family had come and how well they were doing, I felt the same thing I feel when I'm born into any prosperous village. Bored. I realized then that even though I had founded the village, I played a minuscule part in making it what it was, and anything else I did in that life would ultimately be completely insignificant and meaningless. After this experience I really dropped off of this game. What was the point? But maybe that is the point.

You realize that the same thing would happen in real life if you born 30 generations later to your family. Your epiphany is the reason I love this game. It makes me look at life in a more macro sense.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I'm one of the new players who joined and then was playing a ton within one week. I am also an outlier in many other ways, including this is the first video game I've played since Stardew Valley 1.5 years ago. I generally am not a platform/pc gamer, I just do iphone games. But I enjoy this game because it's different and philosophical.

I've seen seen other gamers try this game and it didn't hook them. And the reason is because it is crazy tough. And then they give up, probably because real life is hard enough and they came to get entertained.

I think despite me whining about griefers, they don't really bother me as much as that there is so little continuity in the game (which I guess the griefers contribute to).
Like family trees die out because people don't play in the late night hours, or cities don't grow beyond a certain tech.

I do think you need more "useless" tech like coloring the hats. It gave me such great satisfaction when I dyed a hat blue and a hat red. Yeah, I don't do it as often as I farm or make stew. But it gives people who's been in the game long enough to try to do something that is a) pretty and b) artistic.

That brings us to artistic expression. This game is your artistic expression. And that's what I'd like to see more in the game, more "useless" art. You know Burners create giant art projects and it takes them months and then they burn it to the ground because art is ephemeral. I want more ways to express that in your game.

Thank you for asking this question.

#160 Re: Main Forum » Death of civ by low birth rate » 2018-06-16 21:41:08

I think it's not enough players.
I usually see around 70 when I look here:

And in the late night hours there's even less people.

I do wish there were more odds of birthing a female if you haven't birthed in a while.

#161 Re: Main Forum » what a great town » 2018-06-16 20:52:33

This town got even bigger! I visited the north house and it's gorgeous with berries and a pretty sheep pen. I smithed for a little bit.

#162 Re: Main Forum » Missed Connections » 2018-06-16 15:47:46

Uncle Meric,

Thank you for teaching me how to smith. You were a wonderful teacher. I buried you in the village plot and laid down to die next to you when I was old.

It was a good town, no murders. Someone died in front of me with a knife and I kept it safe.

#163 Re: Main Forum » what a great town » 2018-06-16 15:46:19

I missed the house! I went south and northeast but not north as I was foraging wood to learn how to Smith.

Thank you to my uncle Meric that taught me how to smith.

Because they log in to try out a new thing. Some people are just bored of eveing. Why should they stay? To care more about your entertainment than theirs? Please

Solution would be spawn options. But it's not gonna happen quickly smile Therefore, they and you must waste a time, until a proper spawn occurs.

The original point of this thread is, there is a giant town just south, and the mother just happened to be out of town.

#165 Re: Main Forum » SAPLINGS! » 2018-06-16 00:00:49

We do need a way to regrow trees. Even if it takes 2-3 generations.

#166 Re: Main Forum » I was finally a West! » 2018-06-15 17:48:32

Well, this Eve West lineage didn't end well.

I was born a male, Tyrone to my Ma Bb, who told me that if I suicided she would be sad.
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=335982

I did end up starving myself at 55 years old, but I think it was warranted.

First, the life was great. I discovered BEAN TACOS!!
A cousin Hope worked hard making corn tortillas, and I would cook beans and together we would make BEAN TACOS!
It was glorious. I think my cousin Hope lived longer then expected because she was eating so well.

Anyways, as she grew old, she needed to pass her backpack on. I was already old but my niece was young. So Hope was looking for her to give the backpack with knife to.

The niece asked her to kill a sheep, we were all in the sheep pen. Hope was going to kill the sheep but her hand slipped, and she killed the niece.

The niece was the only other person left in the village, not to mention she was a young woman that could've repopulated the village.

Which, by the way had a great sheep pen thanks to my Ma Bb finding sheep.

Instead, the niece died, and so did the future of the village.

I was the last West. I lived a few years more but it was too lonely, and I lied down beneath my ma's grave. I had buried her beneath her ma.

And that was the end of that West lineage.

And there's a giant big ass town just south of them, and the mom was foraging.

#168 Re: Main Forum » New idea: twins » 2018-06-15 16:12:33

I love the idea!

If I was a rich town, obviously twins are easier. Suggestions:
- Give them to Moms who haven't given birth in a while
- More for older Moms (so they have time to establish)

#170 Re: Main Forum » White Roses » 2018-06-14 22:36:26

Well hopefully we can respawn in that town, since griefer just offed the entire Eve Diamond family.

Oh hey Kami, you were my grandson: http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=329646

#171 Re: Main Forum » White Roses » 2018-06-14 19:40:04

Thank you for your white roses! I dyed two more roses blue and another hat blue in that town.

I was born to a town of griefers and trolls.  Even though I was a girl, I was named Gerald just like many of the other people in the family.

There were at least two knives in town, and when I grew up, another baby was popped out. And one of the uncles say, "Can I kill the baby?"

And the mom said, "Sure, why not."

Before I was quiet and didn't make trouble. But then I ran in and grab the baby before it could be killed. I was chased around town, but I kept the baby safe.

When I finally started making babies, I would hide them and feed them. An uncle would say, "Give me the baby." And I would run and hide.

Thankfully, the crazy relatives died off. And the next generation were sweet and hard workers, at one point they had four stews cooking at once!

I made a red hat. That was my life's goal. Before I died, I passed on the red hat to a daughter, Lisa. I remember you, Lisa, Nisa and my son, Gerald.

Wow.

This is a guide to reduce the population of players in the game, and only have the assholes stick around.

#174 Re: Main Forum » Making murder a bit harder » 2018-06-14 00:56:30

This is a good step.

The people who grief towns without killing, like moving tools and such, they don't get much publicity or attention from the people. And eventually they will get bored and leave the game if they don't get attention. Trolls need constant attention to thrive.
