One Hour One Life Forums

Meanwhile a nice bunch of Pu family members consider dropping the game, and playing something where their "building blocks are not kicked down" by other players.

Sheep being forced to play with wolves end with dead sheep, and then dead wolves.

I know I will quit if this becomes "meta". You guys can keep this meta, I have better games to go for. I will see how long it flies when sheep say "enough".

Tutorial Eves?

Are those from all servers in 24 hours?
947 failed Eve runs sounds really bad.

I have wondered why so many games and players always tend to default to "kill" and "destroy". It's so disappointing to me. We are more than that. Non-gamers already say how games are about killing and we confirm it if we just kill and destroy in games all the time.

I wish we had more PvE and AI to fight against in OHOL. Animals are dumb, there is no challenge there. Killing is just clicking tiles. No challenge there.
A lot of games do killing GREAT. Awesome ways. Like Party Hard and Rainbow Six Siege. Strategy, multiple actions... willful participants....

I honestly expect the next thing being non-killing games. Maybe it's naive to believe that, and yes there will always be PvP games and thirst for killing to quench, but still, that's my hunch.

Anyways your apology is very well and thoughtfully written. It sounds very mature, which is always good for my old soul heart. I understand that griefers have a way different mind than non-griefers, and that can fluctuate in between with moods, but I'm happy if griefers cross over to non-griefing side, even if it's for a moment.

I love it.
I have so many things to say but for now I will just admire it and read all the things linked in it.

Griefers are selfish in an immature way. They put themselves first and don't care how it affects others.

It's fine to put your fun first if it doesn't ruin others' fun. But griefers ruin others' fun. So there is nothing to like about them.

Nothing.

That said, imo the best OHOL has done is shown that people are ready to share and support each other when fighting for a common cause and become closer because of it. We will stick together ultimately. First as people, then as neighbors, then as families. That may cause prioritizing and even exclusion (males in some cases in OHOL) but still, usually for the common good.

OHOL also shows how things would work with rebirth and costly talking (sharing information via speech costs a lot time and food-wise). A member of a small society takes actions very independently as they are taught by being reborn enough of times how to work in the most beneficial way in the situation they are born to.

It's also interesting to see mayfly humans, living briefly and what they choose to invest their short time upon.

I appreciate the peaceful and heart-warming things OHOL has with its players, not the goddamn PvP drama. I will quit if this becomes a playground of sexists, racists, griefers and trolls. Oh goodie, what fun drama that brings and all that...

You mean Bada family? I was in Bada family, before any double towns. My branch died out quickly though. Would be fun to see how the towns look like now.

Better method or worse, it doesn't matter. You still made a post which did nothing good.

You try to write in a way to make yourself a victim. Even your sig has that.
Poor me was all stomped on by griefers and now the community is being mean.

Poke a bee hive and some bees will get out to sting you. You weren't misunderstood, they decided you are a douche for your actions.

Maybe next you say you were clickbaiting people to teach them how to catch griefers - but honestly, how often dog griefers are around? How often do people need the knowledge to catch them in time? Why didn't you just make a post on how to detect dog griefers without being one? If the answer is clickbait then you really chose a poor choice. Perhaps with a vision clouded with the experiences you had.
Still won't excuse your actions of bragging attitude and your very real griefing journeys.

Were you Mini? Two of her kids didn't stay though so maybe not...? Maybe you were that one old lady who talked about the fire and how we shouldn't have two.

Almost went crazy due to people sitting at the fire. Knife holders weren't killing sheep, pies were running out with nobody baking and backpacks were decaying. Berry bushes started to languish.
One man explained how the pump needs to be lit up, so I tried. "Kerosene tank with full boiler" it said, so it sounded like it's ready, but nope. Would've been a great life to learn everything about running kerosene pumps, but I became busy holding the cluttered town together by doing all the jobs the people at the fire didn't do.

I cleaned the place as a kid, then got rabbits (some made to pies, some I grilled, made lots of clothes/backpacks), started to get kids, smithed stuff like shears when asking thrice where they are and nobody helping, crafted a knife to shepherd and finally got mutton, made a smithing hammer when nobody answered to my question if we had one, made two tanks for kerosene when I was asked to, cleaned the tiny sheep pen, then hauled emergency soil for bushes. Fished a bit to get rid of the worm clutter.
There were old twin women who came to make pottery in the smithy when I was trying to smith, it was just a terrible timing with them in there. One had the only round stone closeby and she just held onto it as my forge fires and steel is cooling (smithing hammer in the making). It was very unfortunate. And ofc their heads were in front of the smith's flat stones.. ouch.

A man also tried to shoot me with a bow. I noticed him eyeing me and sneaking towards me. I walked around some dug up rocks and moved in odd patterns, stopping here and there. He clicked a tile where I just had been and his character swapped the bow with the rock and he started to move slowly with the rock in his hands. I grabbed his bow (still had my knife too but the town had pads) and shot him.
I think it might've been Nirvana who tried to feed my babygirl born in the snow on my 'murder slow-down' (hi Nirvana, if you're around; thank you for checking my hunger need and trying to keep the baby alive. I'm glad I got the guy. I was the same lady who sat with you in the nursery fire, recapping my life in my late fifties. Forgot the whole killing thing when recalling my past. )

Anyways yes, thought it'll be a crappy life with the snowy town (sheep partly in snow, farms extended towards snow), and my mom (Mini) leaving me behind as I was born. Glad the "rp moms" around the fire were there for that moment. Would've been awesome to practice oil and kerosene but yeah, someone gotta fix the place up.

/die has reset the mom's cooldown since it was added. But when it was made usable without mothers holding you, it was overlooked and now you won't reset the mom's cooldown if you /die on the ground.

Still resets if you /die in her arms like it always did.

Well yeah but /die was added so moms wouldn't get a cooldown from getting suicidal babies through their fertile years. And so they don't keep rolling the same suicidal baby.

No no no no no penalty! I'm talking about a diluting reward! People who take the first life they get are granted a perk, and people who reroll and reroll will eventually lose the perk or get a really diluted version of the perk!

Decreasing reward>>>>increasing punishment! Way better than punishing. In my opinion.

Makes a guy go "but damn, I WOULD get the maximum reward this life... is it worth to reroll and get half the perk?"

It's a very raw idea but still, the important part is, let's reward players who make the best out of every life and make rerollers decide if they are missing out or nah.

EDIT: One perk I'd love is that in your elder years you have more hunger pips. You still die at 60 but if you never reroll as a baby you could have +3 fancy looking pip squares through your elderly years. It'd be awesome already, I could ramble more as a granny or supervise/teach/work, with those extra pips; less food waste too.
So yeah people who took the first life they got: +3 extra elder pips. People who rerolled once can get +1. People who rerolled twice or more get no perk. Every day you can get the perk again if you keep taking first lives. If you keep rerolling you will have the normal tiny baby stomach as an elder.
EDIT2: Also, if my mom pleads me to /die, I won't mind losing the extra elder pips or getting the diluted reward. It's really rare to get a mom who pleads you to /die anyways, and losing my 'first life reward' is not that bad. I can deal with "regular elderly years" as I already do.
