I'm just saying that it need to be carefully designed and all obvious loopholes for griefers fixed before implementation.  You go with bowl for a water and come back with handcuffs kind of thing.  Or putting handcuffs on guard and doctor, before stabbing somebody.

You must be new here   Of course he'll run after you, screaming that you are the griefer.  It's hard to prove it either way.

The problem with that was, that griefers could use it too.  But if you can put them only on cursed...

Numbers doesn't matter much.  If he kills 2-3 most hardworking players, others are doomed anyway.  If there are 10 people and nobody can figure out how to bring soil or water, you WANT famine.  It has nice property, that only people that know how to forage survive, which correlates with experience.  Natural selection and all.  You get almost fresh start with best players that've been there and none of the dead weight.

But you was on his list as highest priority, that's the problem.

In this case, their excuse is "population control" - by killing most hardworking people, that is.  Other excuse is "this place was a mess anyway".

If I meet someone holding weapon ready to use, I never assume best intentions.  Guilty until proven innocent.  There is no sane reason to run with loaded bow through middle of the village.  If one is too dumb to make a backpack, he should not be allowed to touch a bow.  They suffer from naked kid with a bow syndrome.

In middle of village tell people who is the griefer.  Tell them what he does.  Curse.  4-5 curses will follow.

I disagree, respectfully so.  Logistical problem is the least important problem with berry fields.  After all, how much time it takes to move 3 or 4 tiles.  The largest problem with berry fields is that they are big friggin famine generators, put right in the middle of the town. This is how it unfolds:

So your town baker has popped his clogs.  Maybe old age, maybe lag.  Nobody knows.  Unfortunately he left 20 raw pies ready to bake and no firewood/fire around.   So one person, as ususal, goes to bakery to swap empty plate for a new pie (J/K nobody brings back empty plates).  But there are only raw pies there.  Oh, somebody is already working on it, probably went for kindling, so I just grab few berries and come back later.  And another person, as ususal, goes to bakery to swap empty plate for a new pie.  But there are only raw pies there.  Oh, somebody is already working on it, probably went for kindling, so I just grab few berries and come back later.  And third person, as ususal, goes... you get the drill.

In no time, the whole berry field is completely cleared.  Then people panic.  Berry bushes are dying!!!!  Quick.  All the compost is used up and one or two wells dried as well.  And there are 10 people running back and forth, all near starvation, waiting for any berry bush to fruit, so they can save themselves.  All new berries are gone in less than 1 second.

And there lies the problem.  Berries are needed to restart compost cycle.  You can convince 2-3 people to not eat them.  But if there are 10 of them frantically running back and forth, you stand no chance.  And wheat and carrots are needed too.  Wheat is usually around, but some fuckwit has eaten all the carrots.  Hey, carrots are for eating, right?  NO!  Carrots near sheep pen are for compost only.  There should be capital punishment for eating them.  I'm completely serious.  You save yourself, but indirectly you starve 5 other people.  What would you do to someone stabbing 5 random people in the town?

At this point in time I either bake all pies or go for soil.  But baking is rare, as I'm usually too low on food myself to do it.  Most often I go forage, and bring a basket or soil to plant carrots.  When I'm back 90% of people are already dead, so getting few berries for compost is not a problem.

Main reason for all of this it that berries are very expensive or maybe the most expensive (soil+water+work) food around in the game for amount of energy they give.  If we had some functioning market there, they would cost as much as caviar - only royalty would be able to afford it.  But everybody is treating them now as el-cheapo food for plebs.  Maybe that's because they are quite good choice for early camps, when you have access to soil and water basically for free.  But they don't translate well to towns.  When you need to make compost and 10 deep wells are barely enough to water it, they're very expensive.

You have the knowledge now, so you go and make wiki article about it.

Some dude running aimlessly with a bow => just already start making your own one.  You'll need it.  It's noob griefer in 90% of cases I've seen.  By leaving armed bow laying in the middle of village you basically are asking for it.  Would you leave an armed gun in your kid's room?

Recaptcha should work if that's the case.

Other idea then: hide topics reported as spam by one or two members with 10+ posts (until reviewed by moderator).  Also lower cooldown for reporting spam (1 min is too long, at least for 5-10 first reports in a row).  If people can see they can "disappear" spam pretty quicky, they will be more likely to report it.  Right now reporting seems pointless (from POV of forum member), as it just waits there for moderator, and he will look at the list of main topics himself anyway.

Yeah, then there is a chance that somebody sane will plant milkweed so we could have couple of boxes and more than one cart per town.

When I try improve things a bit and make few carts, etc., there is never milkweed around.  So I go plant it and can plant only ~8 because there is no soil.  So I go make compost and there is no cart around, so I have to run like an idiot with one bowl at a time to feed sheep.  By the time I go back to make damn cart, somebody already stolen all planted milkweed.  Maybe guards should stay there stabbing anybody trying to touch it.  When I finally make first cart, to make making carts easier, I have to go everywhere with it.  When I leave it for 5 secs it's already gone.

Maybe we should figure out how to make ownership work.  The things I need to do work are already gone, before I can do much.

IRL you have large amounts of useless people too.  You don't feed them using least cost efficient food source avaliable.

Making popcorn is such a waste of time, that nobody really bothers to do it.

To my mother Kindle Pope,

Hi mom.  This is your daughter Temperance.  I avenged your death and killed your murderer.  Rest of family was kind of dumb though, most of them did not curse him and they let me starve after shooting him.  Hope they'll get some smart kids soon, otherwise they are doomed.
