One Hour One Life Forums

Oh, wonderful. Another person to add to the list of those that have misunderstood. Well get in line good sir. So, for the umpteenth time, I have no problem with large cities. Contrary to your belief, I'm a big fan of large cities. That's not what I have a problem with. I guess you can be forgiven for not reading any of the other posts, but that just means I have to repeat myself a lot. So, for the sake of not repeating myself, and because you seem like the kind of person that likes to remain blissfully unaware, I'll just go ahead and let you carry on. If you actually intend to add to the discussion, rather than make a giant ass of yourself, I'll be more than happy to engage you in conversation.

Yeah, I was meaning to comment on your starting a new settlement idea. I like it. I'll consider that the next time I want to have an eve run but am stuck in town hell. I mean, it does come with it's own problems like kids finding their way back and competing for the resource of lineage babies; but it is a thought to consider.

And I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't mind seeing the same cities over and over again. I don't want to see the same hi jacked city from some lazy eve over and over again. I like to stay on one server at a time because I like to be born into cities I've worked on several generations later. Like I said, you've misunderstood me (which could be my fault). I never meant to say that I'm a city hater and that I only want eve runs, I'm sorry if I came across that way. I was trying to say that it sucks that there seems to be almost no new blood circulating, which bums me out. I feel like if something dies, something else should be born. I don't think you should just keep reanimating it's zombified corpse. But again, that's just how I enjoy the game, I don't expect anyone else to adhere to it. I wasn't trying to lay down some decree, I was just seeing if anyone shared similar thoughts.

And it does make a difference if a city is lost forever. It makes a huge difference. Things are much more important when there's a possibility of losing them.

Well sure, there are many options. You could also choose to just kill the town and I don't think anyone but those that always "accept their life" no matter what could criticize you. You could also just play something else for a bit, which is never a bad option.

That is exactly what I was referring to, you still haven't specified what exactly you meant with your comment. I'm just going to assume you meant to say that I was a "butthurt griefer" and taking actions solely based on this belief.

And I swear, no one is reading the whole OP. I said that I have baby suicide multiple times, and don't want to have to keep repeatedly doing so. And the solution, is by no means trivial. It is a very tedious, and sometimes time consuming process. I don't start up the game just to close and open it another 15 times. And there are not "servers with no towns", just ghost servers.

But like I said to West, I have no problem with towns. I think it's nice to not have to start up a kiln and a farm every run. I was just saying that it bugs me that all of the "town deaths" feel like a massive farce. I want a town to feel special, and important. Something that has been working on for 15 generations, not something that some eve stumbled onto and put on like someone's old underwear. And by the same hand, if a town I worked on dies, I want it to feel poignant. But that's the reason why I don't stick around, you seem to think that that's the reason I kill cities. Which is what you assumed I said. Sure, I have (very rarely) killed cities for various reasons, but never because I wanted to punish them for playing how they like. Besides, from the sound of things, it seems like that would be your philosophy. Why would you want to discourage me from murdering towns if, hypothetically speaking, that was the way I liked to play. I could easily turn it around and claim that eve (start up) baby suicide is ruining the experience of others, and by your definition, be considered griefing. But I feel like all of this is neither here nor there.

But I never intend to get on the topic of town killing or griefing. Nor did I want to give you fodder for your self-righteous crusade to crucify murderers. Looking back at my original post, I can see now how you would get that perception. It was merely to see if the fact that no one seems to be starting anything fresh is bothering anyone. It appears it is not.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Juvenile terminology aside, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say here. If you're trying to call me a griefer, I would say that I don't consider myself one. I consider a griefer to be someone that tries to ruin other peoples experience just for the enjoyment of ruining other's experience, which I do not. However, the term "collateral damage" springs to mind. If you're trying to say I'm upset, I wouldn't say so. I would say it's a normal thing to experience emotions such as frustration or irritation, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm upset by anything. It is just a game after all. I would be mindful that you're not projecting.

Did you read the original post? I mentioned baby suicide and how I don't want to spend 30 minutes of suicide, but have because that's how the game functions. And while I do think that baby suicide is a stupid, tedious mechanic that shouldn't even be in the game. My biggest problem is that nothing ever seems to die or end. There's no ending to any of these cities, death is pointless. A city dying out doesn't mean a damn thing, so there's no stakes. It's so fucking pointless, some jackass is going to spawn into it 20 minutes later. The fact that it seems easy to just to respawn into, or trip over a dead city.

I guess it's a combination of things that really bug me. I was really just trying to see if anyone else has noticed what I've noticed, and if so, what they thought about it.

Jason has basically said that is the exact reason murder is in the game. Repeatedly. And it's a good reason, at that. And the reason you're put at a disadvantage, it because it's not supposed to be for PvP. You're not supposed to be able to run around racking up your killstreak. It's supposed to be for when that one guy is running around being an asshole, and you kill him. Other people will be willing to take care of you and feed you because you've done them a service. That's the idea, anyway.

So if you could kindly tell me how you would deal with someone running around screaming slurs, smashing your forge, and letting the sheep loose. I seriously doubt they'd sit down and have a rational discussion where you convince them to change their behavior.

Huh, I don't really get that. From what I've seen, the age makes a lot of sense. Was kind of surprised at the guesses in the 30's or late 20's.

I went south at first, then went up north. Didn't find anyone, but that's probably because I did it minutes after the update went live. I honestly thought there'd be more after the tree, even replied to the news post cause I thought I was missing something. So I'm guessing all those other tutorial set ups are actually being used by people? That's interesting, hmmm...

Awesome. While the additional challenge was entertaining, I feel like I might have missed something. I don't mean to spoil, so I'll just say the end was a little odd. Was that it? I guess what I'm asking is, what end area are you talking about? You're just meaning past the torch, yeah?

I get that, then I am in favor of this kind of system.

First, how are they going to wait until they're nameless? Are you meaning that someone is going to run from their mom so they don't get named, or are you saying that someone is going to keep spawning until someone raises them without a name?

Obviously you have to get named if your mom wants to name you, either that or starve. And besides, if someone is nameless, it would lead to distrust and possibly even being killed. I think you're working under the assumption that nameless people would still be treated the same as they are before this system, and I'm disagreeing with that notion.
