One Hour One Life Forums

The one concern I have with this, is that it is fairly normal to die a bunch of times in a row through no fault of your own. Often times you start playing and die a few times to bad parents before you have a good start. I do think the number is high enough that it isn't going to be an issue for most people, though I could see a newbie who plays a lot possibly reaching it.

Babies in the oven?

Then we make baby pie

Well I've found out something. People don't care if you try to make up for your past or your mistakes!

I was in a village and someone asked if I knew how to use a sword. So, I told them yes because I was the one who took out the Genier. Next thing I knew I got killed with a bow and cursed by everyone. Told a mom the next life and got abandoned and starved. Told an older sibling and got stabbed. Told a baby I had and they came and stabbed when older, etc...

I'm starting to think I shouldn't regret what I've done anymore. I felt bad earlier, but since people can't let you grow from mistakes or learn from your past why should I bother?

I'm gonna do more of it now than I used to! I don't care what anyone thinks. I get beat in this group home I live in if I don't say the lady is nice or good to her boss, so why should I care what feelings anyone has in a game? If I tell the boss anything bad the lady did then all I get is told that she is doing her job and I am making it up...

That's why I do what I do in the game, I try to make myself happy by doing that. I tried being nice at least 13 times and that's all I've gotten from it. Nobody cares about nice things you do, they only remember the bad!

I give up on trying to be a nice player to others anymore. If this is what I get for telling people that I'm trying to make up for my past then I don't want it... People expect you to be nice to others, but when you had enough of someone being mean to you, they don't listen. So I'm done trying to be a good person in this game. I will become the bad guy instead!

Also, Donkey Town may be removed this week, but I need to think about it.

FYI, one of the game's biggest all-time griefers currently has 0 lives.

I thought you liked griefers? Did you not say it's a job? Drama? Why nerf it if you want it?

I think it'd go something like this

For long shafts and stone blocks, you can only fit four in a cart or one at a time

Need to correct: put two shafts to stack, put two curved to stack (for kindling in forge), makes one item. So you can bring eight kindling-mats and eight long shafts in one run (in handcart with no rubber wheels).

What if you don't want that area to be farmland anymore?

You can dig out a hardened row using a shovel, so if you ever want to clear some farmland quickly, you don't need to plant milkweed.   Just FYI - took me forever to realize that.

Wow, so you can! Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how many little things there are in this game like that. I guess I never saw it because I was focusing on tilled rows and kind of left hardened rows out of mind. Kind of funny considering I specifically said "cleaning hardened rows", which isn't what I meant to say.

This is like the time someone showed me that you can plant wheat seeds straight from a bowl of wheat. Mind blown lol.

I played a life, and it was so different, no /die babies, everyone doing hard work, no skeletons in town, it was great

NO SKELETONS IN TOWN?! Damn that's nice to hear

My impression is that if you prepare the tools and materials, things usually gets done. So I'm not sure if I would call people lazy, since they seem to be happy to work if they get a little guidance.

Maybe it's just that there's so much to do, so it's easy to get sidetracked.

Its a videogame first and foremost.  It will always be one.  You can't expect it to be anything close to a simulation of real life.

The interesting part of the project, to me at least, is the goals that people create for themselves and the sense of working together to create a lasting thing, even while knowing you will fail.  Some players agree with me and we have a good hour.  Others don't.  Shit happens.

Yeah, I posted this because I think some of us ( including yours truly) tend to fall into the trap of trying to make an idea in relation to reality. Jason looks to be edging close to that with some thinking he has already fallen into it. So that's why I make this post.

It is a concern to me as well.  Some of the recent updates seem heavily influenced on making OHOL a sort of "life/civilization simulator".  But it isn't.  It's a game.  It's (at least to my mind) meant to be a cooperative game.   I'd much rather see updates that build on that foundation.
