lol

you just lie to yourself to justify your "gameplay"

i've been killed for no reasons whatsoever numerous times,
females are killed because they have a baby or might have a baby even if there is enough food for generations
59 years old are killed, just because, lol

not giving a self made backback ? - stabbed
holding a thread in a hand ? - shot
pissing someone off ? - a pretty lie

@YAHG

you know pretty well there is a discrepancy between how this game plays & how this game is being advertized

here are Jason's descriptions of OHOL :
"Get born as a helpless baby to some other player as your mother, get older by one year every minute, play one small part in a multi-generational family tree, and help rebuild civilization from scratch, one unique life at a time."
"This game is about playing one small part in a much larger story. You only live an hour, but time and space in this game is infinite. You can only do so much in one lifetime, but the tech tree in this game will take hundreds of generations to fully explore. This game is also about family trees. Having a mother who takes care of you as a baby, and hopefully taking care of a baby yourself later in life. And your mother is another player. And your baby is another player. Building something to use in your lifetime, but inevitably realizing that, in the end, what you build is not for YOU, but for your children and all the countless others that will come after you. Proudly using your grandfather's ax, and then passing it on to your own grandchild as the end of your life nears. And looking at each life as a unique story. I was this kid born in this situation, but I eventually grew up. I built a bakery near the wheat fields. Over time, I watched my grandparents and parents grow old and die. I had some kids of my own along the way, but they are grown now... and look at my character now! She's an old woman. What a life passed by in this little hour of mine. After I die, this life will be over and gone forever. I can be born again, but I can never live this unique story again. Everything's changing. I'll be born as a different person in a different place and different time, with another unique story to experience in the next hour... "

you & many of the players who enjoy easy kill say that i am in the wrong because there is easy kill in the game

but i say that you are in the wrong because the game is still in development & because the descriptions about OHOL attract players like me who don't expect murder in it & surely don't expect easy kill, which actually plays worse than any violent game out there

so maybe instead to ask me to go playing something else you should go playing something that advertizes with killing & murder, isn't it ?
maybe you dislike the direction the gameplay actually is heading toward ?

or you could ask Jason to change the descritions to something which resembles the current gameplay, which has easy kill with one click & no self healing options for the victim
Best One-sentence description of OHOL?

@YAHG

so what exactly did you want to say ?

just to make perfectly clear

i complain about ONE thing only - that i have NO OPTION to heal myself after an attack - that's it

@YAHG

please enlighten me how murder on helpless victims with one click is an essential part of this game

i agree with the bears, they have to be able to kill even if people stand on something

but the arrows, i've been making them always with strings/threads

@jasonrohrer

are those the new players you envisioned ?

16 june 2018

test full gameplay with all lives

played today after 20 days hiatus (because i had it with murder)
& after couple of food updates & some changes to killers & victims (don't understand how that works or if it is at all doing something useful)

1. born as male baby in town - murder !!! several people ran with knives in backpacks, my brother was murdered, one guy with knives asked the other guy if he should kill me, before that i found my young niece & a young cousin who cared for the farms dead, they were maybe killed as well, there was plenty of food around
i prefered not to live further in that cold & confused town

2. born as female baby in town - no murder !!! i had 4 kids, 2 suicided, i cared a little for soil & farm, made baskets, a cart, got some supplies, died at 58

3. born as male baby in town - murder !!! there was a murder by mistake - stepped on a snake with 29

- - -

summary so far with all the food : too complicated, it will probably become even more complicated
the stuff lying around in a chaotic scattered manner is quite disturbing, is constantly in the way, causes even deaths

- - -

4. born as female baby to wild Eve - no murder !!! mother & brother died early, i was lucky being able to eat on my own short after the mother's death, had 4 kids, didn#t have time to set up the camp, the first Eve was too inexperienced, i died with 33 because too many kids, not enough food to reach in time

5. born as female baby in town - murder !!! went to catch rabbits to make some fur, backpacks, clothing
the need to eat different food is distracting
there was a murder, was told that it was willingly
died at 58

- - -

murder occurance rate 3/5 for one player

killing has to take two strikes

between those two there has to be a pause included for one killer to strike

so two strikes done immediately one after another would be only possible if two murderers would be present
& that makes already for an interesting story scenario
as a killers duo & as a protectors duo

the victim has to be given option to remove arrow after the first strike
healing should need time, 3 minutes ? 5 minutes ?
if a victim runs away after the first strike, then he gets a chance of survival & that removes the total power of the killer

medicine should shorten the time to heal
medicine should be preparable & carryable as protection
it should be usable by the victim alone
additionally medicine should be administrable by other people than the victim

there just should be more options to recover from an attack than the options & the power to attack

& we need the option of professions !

it would add structure to the game
atm, skills are chaos, lives are chaotic, no purpose, no limit, no structure, no opportunities, just some crafting & doing some jobs
also professions would make it easier for noobs to get into a life with a purpose

carrying out the profession of a doctor is fulfilling, more fulfilling than being a guard

@jasonrohrer

i appreciate the effort, though you tiptoe around the pink elephant in the room

what is the purpose again of prolonging the murder scene ? for the victim & for the killer ?

still not coming back to playing,
no fun as long property is more important in this game than life

there are still tons of games out there where i can kill & be killed with more style & way more purpose serving the goals in those games than murder serves a game about parenting & civ building

griefers & murderers are supported by Jason, so how can they not win ?
the game is stacked, zero chance to play peacefully, either you are a killer yourself & enjoy kiling in this game or you are just a sad screwed idiot

the game is made look sweet & cozy like the witch's gingerbread house from the Hansel & Gretel fairy tale, if you eat from it, you will be trapped & killed
it's looking that sweet & peaceful & it is pretending to be about parenting & civ building to seduce the gullible players to come in & be the next easy helpless prey

OHOL is probably the most unfair game i've ever played
but who cares, killers are happy 

so, come on in, don't be shy, make yourself comfortable with delicious stew, mashed potatoes & mutton pie
the next murderer is near, eat while you can
