Oh this is bad, hope jason fixes it soon.
In the mean time only put clothes on babies you think will not /die
Jason wants that we go around an kill other families,
why else did he add war swords, make it so you cant curse other families, make other families talk gibberish and move everyone closer together.
playing the game as it is intended is not griefing, its just playing the game.
Cool !
I was thinking if you play the game anyways, to see how it is, you could just make a youtube video out of it with little effort.
Maybe this would help promote the game a bit.
I saw the video where you add sheep to the game, it was hilarious to see how you make the sounds.

I would love to see a LifeStream of you (Jason) playing the game.
Could also be just a youtube video.
I enjoy watching people play the game, and i think it would be awesome to see the creator play the game.
If you have time one day, please do it.
Who would also love to see that?
... did... oh god... did *I* crash the server.
wow !
i think futurebird needs to be banned again
IMO the time in Donkeytown should be determined by (total curses) / (total playtime) rather than just total curses.
yes, this should be obvious for everyone
jason could even increase the punishment for griefing if the system would consider playtime aswell.
But right now the system is obviously flawed.
I think this video describes the update better:

I really liked the bell tower feature, but now bell towers are too dangerous to build, i dont like this update.
This was made by Solbusaur posted on discord, titled:
"My personal experience with the update"


A slow lifetime-curse-score decay would be nice.
Maybe 1 curse point every 5 hours of play time that you dident get cursed.
If you get cursed, the 5 hours reset.
This would not help people who grief often, but people who play a lot.
A game mechanic that punishes you for simply playing the game, is obviously not good.
The more a player plays the better he/she will be at the game, the better it is to have him/her in your village. (most of the time)
Please dont say "this doesnt effect me so it is not a problem"
You can get curses for silly reasons, or when you kill griefers.
The more you play, the more curses you will collect.
Is this again about stylingirl?
stylingirl, if you read this, why do people keep complaining about you?
Is this just a weird coincidence?

what about this commit?
Ok if you want to reset the map, please do it sooner than later.
I dont wanna play now if i know the map will be reset soon
Says the raider..
Maybe you are just saying that so nobody builds defenses.
No, i say it because i tried it, look here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6017
But if you dont believe me go ahead and try, maybe you find a good way of doing it, then make screenshots and post them here.
Its not worth it / will not happen
- its more likely that your family dies out before anyone finds it
- a wall around the village will block people that want to search for resources
- it takes a lot of time to build one and even more time to maintain one
How'd you fail with such an op weapon AND help....
Yes i did fail xD
When we were going there i told my cousin we will only use WORDS, but i ment SWORDS,
so my cousin thought this will be a peaceful trip. (she is innocent dont hate her)
Than when i pulled out my sword and start killing, the old lady was very quick with the bow.
shit like this will make it where people won't ring bells because some idiot comes along and starts instant gibbing people if given the chance.
i agree with this, bells are one of the best features in this game.
its really sad that they are now too dangerous to ring ![]()
i prefer bells much more than swords.
In the end i dont play this game to destroy, but to build.
With the new sword you can stab other families and dont get any kill cooldown.
Here is how to make it: https://onetech.info/3047-War-Sword-otherFamilyOnly
Make swords, find other villages, and kill them all !!
Post your screenshots/stories here

I convinced my ginger cousin to help me make swords and then come with me to another village to make war.
But we were only 2 and there were a lot of other people, so we couldnt kill them all.
The plan was to kill them all and replace them with our ginger babies.
The main issue is that people cannot choose where/how they want to play.
Its hard to get back to a previous village.
Do you want to play as boy or girl? boys are useless
Do you want to play as eve? In a big city? In a small village?
You see babies commit suicide and think this is the problem, but this is just the side effect of other problems.
If those people dont want to play, you cant force them to play.
New off-the-wall idea:
You are STUCK with one mom, as long as that's possible.
If you DIE or run away (die before age 5 or whatever), your mother is earmarked for you with a "reservation" that ensures you will be her next baby (and it overrides her cooldown, etc.)
You can keep running away, but every time you're reborn, there you are, right back with that same damn mother. You're playing as a whole cluster of eggs there, or something.
yes this is a great idea, i could just stop feeding my kids and see them die over and over again.
this would help me make the graveyard bigger, which is like you said "an important aesthetic part of the game"
Whatever wrote:Number One is Bone Pile
Please make it so burying doesnt cost iron (like potatoes)Even if burying is free it would be useless https://onetech.info/1011-Buried-Grave- … groundOnly
You basically reset the decay timer of bones to 1 hour, so even worse than not digging the bones.
Normal bones need 2 hours, so you can save 1 hour in theory if you do it immediately.
Also there are people role playing being a grave digger and they waste shovels.

You can troll me directly, and I can troll you right back.

DT may be removed entirely at some point.... if the property system takes off and becomes widely used, it will curtail most of the "unstoppable griefing" that plagues the game.

You get "popped" into the middle of some situation, and often times it's hilarious. Your mother is riding a horse and you get left behind, etc.
