a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building

Each race would make their own carpet style.
Surviving is winning, tech is for being ahead of competition. But there's no need to be ahead, they won't attack us. Nothing to compete for. Today I was brown lady, a griefer, I messed in gingers town, then came back to my home. I gathered about 4 ppl for war against gingers. During attack I was thinking "hmm, there's no point to make these raids". At rift there was a purpouse, it was like 'last family wins' (it wasn't, but some of us thought this way). I made this war for personal vendetta, because gingers cursed me and my brethrens goes to war, because gingers were talking shit to us through radio. xD Things just escalated because of somebody's mood.
Still one and same thing is missing and blocking many things, owning. I don't directly point to current system, fences and chests and how to pass it to next gens, I'm talking about need to actually stash something - others won't make any harm to us, so we don't need to stash something to make us stronger and others weaker.
Game is not dead, lol.
We're living like 1k from each other. There can be 2 solutions, either make radios and contact through them, but then we still need to ride 1k to others. The other solution is migration. Can we take stuff into carts and just move closer to other towns, to build new homes? I always liked those runs with whole family to bell towns (in OHOL or You Are Hope). There can be something similar to bell tower, but not to gather everyone on map, in contrary, to gather people at home to migrate. When you hear this alarm, you need to pack up and move with family. You will need like 2 or 3 people (one elder) to give a call to migrate.
For me oil is pretty easy, unpleasant part is when pump is finished and you need either luck or many pipes to start extracitng. Tip, have water in tank to refill the bucket, don't go to ponds back and forth. Or make a well near to pump and teach kids how to do the oil (there's a pump 0,2 N-W from gingers, I made map to it).
Oil should be co-op through generations, like I'm making maps, someone else will make parts for pump, someone else will deliver the parts, someone else will extract the oil. Doing all stuff alone is too exhausting.

Today I was black lady, Nicole White (heh). I visited browns and bringed them sulfur and two horses, also a map to oil pump (N-W from their town). Someone asked me for niter, for the radio parts. I was happy to bring it for them. Radios could save us, we're living like 1k from each other. Please build radio, blacks already has transmitter and receiver (medium frequency).
edit:
Yes! We did it, browns and gingers got radios. Blacks (Hunters) are, I think, straight west from gingers, not far. They need one, too. ;P
The trick with resources is, if you teach others how to bring oil and they would do it, game would become easier. When it become easier, dev would somehow make it harder again. In your best interest is not to try too hard, because it's Sishypean work.
After many ideas how to 'improve' OHOL, I can finally see. Trading, currency, lands, co-op? It won't give us any more fun. We will have new challenges, more dangerous things on a map, nerfed resources, more complex troubles. It's someway connected to what real fun is, but it's not the quintesence of it. The real fun is - living in chaos!
Question - how to make game more chaotic? You can't! Game is chaotic itself on early stage and spontaneously from time to time, it's up to players, or more likely, when things escalating between them. The more we building up our towns and 'civilizations', the less raw and chaotic life is, the more bored we becoming.
While teaching kids and caring for them is nice, learning tech tree gives satisfaction, building and finishing projects makes us proud, working in town is pleasant, the fun part is where the chaos is. Killing spree at rifts were damn fun, drama and roleplays are pretty fun, babypocalypse, griefers, even bear attack etc., because it creates so much needed uncertainty.
I'm playing some older games while being on quarantine, basically checking all games from 90s-till my computer can handle. The most fun game I've re-discovered is Carmageddon from 1997. It's a racing game, but... not normal.
Beside winning by going through checkpoints, you can kill all pedestrians or animals, your opponents wanna kill you by hitting on you, you can jump from one rooftop to other or fell from high height (game physic is awesome), hit barrels which gave you different bonuses and effects, and auto-repair gives you long race-life. You can do crazy shit and the havoc (a.k.a. chaos) you and your opponents creates is soooo good.
They are already. People.
That's interesting. How about giving ocean biome for whites, making them useful? If you wanna go to another island, you need to co-op with them, they already know all languages. Ideally they will have town next to ocean.
ended up killing 7 people so it won't leave a witness that could go around cursing me
Lol. Pein in action:

But it made me think, that we actually need a bb jail! Further from people, a small pine house to put bad babies there for starvation. I already made one for brown family. ![]()
What a coincidence. I was his mommy, I lured bears to that town before he were born (in other life). It gave me an idea about making big zoo for bears, then luring them all to town. But it's too much work tho. ![]()
I feel like shit, no energy at all, all day just games and yt (sometimes going to shop) because of quarantine. My family is ok.
Can we share sins from our lives here. My latest, I wanted to be better in griefing than griefers:
I lured them to towns. 7 bears could be a problem, for a griefer, if there's an obstacles like swamp before town. Also I didn't bring them directly to kitchen or bb room, but left them outside to avoid curses, which was a mistake. I should ride with them into house. Also I accused someone else for bringing bears, she was suspicious before and she received a curse.

I finally settled down. Fuck, riding everywhere and doing crucial stuff is so exhausting and I wanna play a game, not work a game. xD I was brown and had many afk's babies. But next time I was ginger and my previous son, Zeke, came to my town with so much stuff, tires, irons, I was proud that at least he wasn't useless.
So, in gratitude I decided to make oil pump near town (just take north road and then pine path). Also some ginger girl helped me with making parts. It's SO different with 2 people to help maintain a town, than to making everything by yourself. No more working alone.
We can't afford washing since we're low with water.
Well, right now we got a tendency that main fires are dying out, so if females would continue to work with bb in bpack, there won't be anyone to guard the fire at all.
I think good solution is to make separate, small graveyard only for marked graves, further than basic one. Remember Zucc and Punkytown, I made temples there. In Punkytown's temple (the one with 6-7 bells
) someone build a shrine in the corner and put a paper on grave with 'I build this shrine for you mom' or sth. Second grave was mine, I was a mom to 3-4 kids, I had them outside of town, but I returned. When I was older there was a race-war and I was trying to defend son or sth, I was killed but he promised to avenge or bury me. Then I spotted he made me a grave and putted paper for me there.
Third grave was made by me, my mom had me on a road, she was nice and gave me her clothes, but I returned cloth to her, cause I was going to Punkytown anyways. Minute later I had info that my mom died! I turned back and investigated where she lies, it seems skeeters got her and she was trying to return to the road.
xD I took back her bones to town and buried her in my temple's graveyard, I even tell via radio that such and such person was good mom (maybe this player spawned in game again). xD
My point is - this kind of shrine/graveyard is super cute and it probably won't be affected by thieves. First grave should be an honour to Eve.
Yeah, good idea Karrots.
I generally feel fine with stealing, since browns stole surname from blacks. Long live Gogo's!

After update we came back to bs2 server. Everyone can say bye bye to the Old World, we're living 2k from bell. I made maps for 3 tarry spots, gingers and blacks, connected their towns with a road (with a help, thx). Junglers are somewhere near, as well as whites.
People don't make enough rubber. I mean enough for 3 families. More buckets, more bowls, more rubber pls.
I don't understand why we have diesel wells so quickly, we should have each type of well for longer period of time (gingers already need diesel).
There's no fatherhood simply because without DNA tests no one is sure if he's a father or his wife cheated on him. ![]()
Couple days ago I've seen brown guy married to white chick, but yeah not much rp anymore. I wanna us to stay longer in one place, build up towns and roleplay more.
I was a traveller since day1 homesick update, cuz I had feeling without resources we would be fucked. I'm exhausted of being traveller… I wanna settle down, I wanna towns to live longer.
We should make more rubber from one bucket, more oil from one pump.
We're on bs2 again and there wasn't a reset.
Can cars be more bigger (have more space) or have tire cart connected to them or not? If not it means they will be forever useless, all game changes will remain at stage horses + roads, so no real progress.
