One Hour One Life Forums

There are some types of babies that absolutely infuriate me:

1. Babies that constantly poke clothing. If you do that I would much rather be giving it to literally any other child than you.

2. Babies that constantly jump out of your arms to avoid being named.

3. Babies that run a marathon around town while you chase it. These kids should be starved IMO to make them learn to stay put.

4. Babies that utter racial slurs. You are probably better off without those in pretty much any situation.

5. Babies that poke weapons. Too shifty.

I would usually not kill these types of babies unless I get the support of the town. I will only kill someone in town as a last resort, because it usually causes a lot of unnecessary drama.

You're gonna have sheep eating you carrots. While animals have a basic movement range they also have an extended movement range based off how cluttered an area is. For example, a sheep has a follow range of one (it will move one tile towards the player unhindered by clutter) BUT will move over up to four cluttered tiles to reach the tile on the other side. This means as soon as the sheep in your image moves right one tile it's possible for the sheep to eat the carrots and thus escape its pen.

So sheep can technically move five tiles and bears seven at max range with various other animals having similar movement ranges.

There would simply be no serial griefers, for the same reason. Someone could mass steal stuff/ mass murder then what? You come back to the same people? Not happening lel. Even worst, most info would be public on discord, nobody would raise you as a known griefer. That´s why it´s not going to happen, this game depends on griefers to "make it interesting".

Pretty much this. Jason loves his DRAMA and if you aren't living a life with DRAMA you wouldn't enjoy the game very much by his standards. It would essentially just end up like the discord where someone keeps a list of all the known trolls and passes it around whenever someone wants to know who is a bad egg thus making it much harder for that person to play.

In my secret dreams I´ve thought that maybe he could set up one of the small servers to play under a username just to "experiment".
It would be so damn interesting to see how the game actually plays out without griefers going around.

As someone who works in the video game industry, this is not how to give feedback.

Yes Tarr, if you dont have something nice to say than dont say anything and let jason find it out by himself.
Why even borther? Its not your job to fix the game Tarr, you dont get paid, you dont get anything from it.

Imo its totally different thing to kill people out of their ignorance. Getting at way of things when you are actually providing more than all the rest of the village people together for the community and someone tryes to hinger your level of produce. Theres a lesson to be learned and people learn best (or atleast remember bit better) when it hurts. You simply dont go f around with you berry bucket moving things around  when someone is in middle of making something complex that will serve many generations.

Killing just for the sake of killing is totally different. It serves no goal. There's no lesson to be learned...

I am not saying they are the same thing, but ignoring people's desires to learn the game through experimentation, to kill them, for displaying that desire, certainly may be one of the factors that leads to players simply killing for the sake of killing, in later lives.

When the last lesson of a life, is, I killed you, now you can't be here.
What are people really walking away from that life with?
What lessons will might they pass on, down the road?

The lesson that people like Tarr, and pein, are complaining about, being killed by people who, for all we know, they killed for petty reasons, in previous lives.

Do they both help the community in other ways? Of course.
Have they hurt the community in worse ways than they've helped?
Arguable.
Wells, don't play the game.
Engines, don't play the game.
Sheep pens, don't play the game.

Swords, are not playing the game.
We are.

There is nothing, more valuable to a community, than it's people.
You cannot even compare, the value of a player, to the value of a diesel engine.
To try and argue that it is worth killing someone, that's it's worth harming a player, over making parts for a pump, is ridiculous.

And I am not denying that there are some people coming into this game with the intent of getting laughs, sabotaging what other people are trying to accomplish. I know how fun it can be, I've done a lot of things like that in the past. A lot of things, I can't even say I regret. But I know, in this game, I have seen a lot of people murdered, for a lot of petty reasons. People who were displaying genuine signs that they were new players, just trying to learn how things worked. People standing near the smithy, picking up items and holding them, probably tabbing through the game's menu, trying to learn that way. People hammering the last iron, all the way to mining pick, when a file, or saw, was the tool needed most.

We need to be willing to sacrifice our own life sometimes, we need to be willing to sacrifice, towns, for the future of the players themselves. It's something that is easy to overlook, when you are caught up in the moment. The game has a way of making you feel, like THIS town, THIS life, is going to be the best, almost EVERY time.

If only, you could just get sheep.
If only, you could just get the saw and the bucket, for that stanchion.
If only, you could just get enough iron to make that engine.

If only, you, could have that backpack.

It's ridiculous, what we've killed each other over.

To the point where we kill, just to be the last one alive.
That's not the game Jason has given any indication, that he was out to make.
It's certainly not the game the world is missing out on.

Then maybe you add some useful machine to the recipe line of the sword. Maybe you would need oil in quenching/hardening of the sword. They do use oil in making of swords. Actually it's necessary to make a viable sword. If you dont do this proses you kinda get one time use swords that bend on hit. Quenching with water makes it snap. So oil is really the only viable option to make a durable and flexible piece.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenching

In materials science, quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, oil or air to obtain certain material properties.

This way they would atleast benefit the community in someway if they are rushing the swords or the swords would be made after the town has acces to oil.

Ooooh yeah quenching with crude oil sounds awesome. Rapid cooling of a metal prevents grain transformation during the cooling process, making it harder but more brittle. I think oil is used because water cools it too rapidly (faster cooling gives less time for atoms to move - metallic glass very rapidly-cooled metal), please correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe an anvil and trough (all-in-one to reduce clutter), for both quenching and shaping tools? Hot sword parts shaped on anvil without oil, then take off and use on anvil with oil again to quench it? I don’t know, just shitting out ideas sorry.

Carbon steel was used for medieval swords as it was stronger in shear and tensile strength (and because swordsmiths didn’t have the technology for precisely measuring carbon). Swords however were heavy and cumbersome, so holding a sword could possibly hinder movement speed. Maybe an extra step in sword-smithing requires a crucible of steel+carbon for high carbon steel? Then with that, You can make blades, hilt, and pommel. Furthermore, the creation of high carbon steal wouldn’t be a dead end as it could lead to advanced construction (concrete, etc.).

Maybe without a leather rabbit fur handle it can be dropped like the previous killing system? Maybe blocking is implemented to decay both swords until they break? This would give a chance for people to defend against first growl and give swords a nerf for gameplay and balance reasons, while also giving the dynamic of an actual fight or duel. Shift left-click to block, shift right-click to kill.

If the recipe for sword would reguire several pieces of iron and would be harder to make it would push this mass genocide phase further down in the civs arc. Also requiring more ingots would make others to question the need for it in relation to it usefulness. I mean it used to be a serious effort of persuation to make smith do blades for kraut board (kraut being the most cost effective single source food ingame). Or you had to make it swift and in secresy.

Lets say:
5 overlapped blank blade bases for the blade part.
Hardening
Hammering to shape
Sharpening
Polishing
1ingot for hilt
1rabbit fur piece for the handle
1ingot for knob that secures that all together.

This would atleast push the genocide phase further down and swords would be marvelous creations of a true smith. They are only overpowered cause its so easy to make em.

The problem is, people who just want to “satiate their murderous desires” don’t care how many resources they use. All this would do is run towns dry of iron because people want to only go on killing sprees for the sake of petty thrills and a misguided feeling of skilfulness, and knowing that they have power to change an entire town’s fate alone.

When women don't work and just sit on the fire sucking up food. It is rare that a town NEEDS babies so much to require that. The vast majority of the time the town would be best served by those women working and only stopping once they actually give birth.

When people plant a ton of beans and they end up laying everywhere.

When babies run rather than /die. It bothers me so much that a young baby can outmaneuver me as a full grown adult, they should be much slower. When I run after them I only do so to try and teach them about /die.
