Can cursed be purple please? I'm already tired of the phrase "The black guy is bad" in the cursing thread.
Orange, Green, Blue, those are fine too. Labels should avoid traditional race based colors.
Thank you.

How about a home marker that along with the compass arrow, tells you how many steps away it is?

I'd much rather see this than perpetual curses. Thanks TheRedBug!

We're getting so off topic, but yes
- Men should be a part of reproduction.
- Within a life flagging is fine (remembering a face) but cross-life memory defeats the purpose of a new life.
- If you must have cursing, the idea of it hobbling the character as a next-life birth defect is awesome.
- If you must have cursing, then moms should be able to assess their pregnancies and decide if they want their babies.

Here's an idea to try and bring the game back to a realistic position:
Return to the pregnancy preview idea.
A short pregnancy where mom & unborn baby can assess the situation and either can press A to abort for whatever reason (like "bad seed").

EDIT: Maybe M for miscarriage, less of a hot topic issue than abortion...

#431 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-04 18:42:42

I remember you saying you didn't want men involved in reproduction in the game because trolls would stalk women.
Well, this is going to allow them to stalk them FOREVER.

I think the tech tree needs to be advanced so that we can have jails. Yes put someone in jail and they are stuck there for the rest of the hour/can't log out/if they do they're still in the same jail. That's a real threat. People avoid jail because it wastes your time, and so it should. It also keeps griefers from becoming someone else's problem for a while.

Also way more character types/parts so that everyone actually looks unique and memorable.

What I do like is the ability to privately flag within one game. It's a sort of remembering their face. But beyond that life it becomes magical stalking and that sounds awful.

LOL what would be realistic is saying "I curse you Joe Schmo!" and nothing happens at all.

#434 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-04 18:15:26

Ya, but it still wasn't real. There are no witches or witchcraft or voodoo. Curses aren't real, they didn't actually work.

#435 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-04 18:08:23

I hate all this magic stuff. It totally defeats the point of the game as being an exploration of humanity. What makes this game special is the attempt to examine the human condition. I don't grief, but lots of people do. Welcome to the world. Lots of people suck. May we all learn to be better people.

Well, with individually-visible-only marks, the fact that a griefer would curse you wouldn't matter.  You would just be marked for them.  Who cares if a griefer sees you as marked in the future?

Me, because they could make a point of killing me every life I live after they curse me.

#437 Re: Main Forum » Public access to all life log data » 2018-07-04 17:17:35

How do I use this?
How would I look myself up?
Can I find out totals about myself, like how many hours I've played?
???

#438 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-04 17:07:32

Would you know if you've been cursed and who did it?

For example, I often find myself dismantling the work of griefers. I can imagine if that griefer sees me doing so that they would curse me for it. Would I know I now had a target on my head?

Ah Shrek & Fiona. I was on a horse with a cart load of butt logs, and one of the bears ate me. This caused the game to make room for my bones, and forced the horse and cart into a sealed stone walled room with the FruitBoots sign... forever running back and forth with its butt logs and no way to set it free. That was a great run smile

#440 Re: Main Forum » Revisting the twins idea » 2018-07-04 13:29:38

Can multiple births update also come with birth control? (chastity belt/fertility fruit)

EDIT: ... and more character types, and a character creator!

#441 Re: Main Forum » High Number of Eves » 2018-07-04 13:03:57

Ya, I noticed that too. Was rather refreshing actually. I don't like the idea of burning through all the towns and then being an Eve becomes the punishment. Random spawn is best.

#442 Re: Main Forum » Can sustainability be added to the tutorial? » 2018-07-04 13:01:58

Learning opportunities is the point of the game. Nobody's perfect, but we all can learn.
It would be nice to be able to domesticate all wild animals eventually though. Make some harder (bears) than others (rabbits).

#443 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-04 12:59:51

I greatly prefer private flagging rather than public flagging.
I like the current emergent game play, warts and all, but I realize some people have shorter fuses than I do. In theory if they can flag people that trigger them then they can avoid them. I do think that any IP flag private or public will cause stalking and vendettas, but it's better than having public gang ups against people who might very well be innocent.

#444 Re: Main Forum » The evolution of OHOL » 2018-07-04 03:11:25

Ya, have had to teach several people not to till a whole basket of soil at once.

I do wish the Eve spawn distance wasn't so far apart, so that there was a chance of ever stumbling upon another town.

I expanded the search radius to a spiral of 100 tiles around your death location.  The closest empty spot in there will be used, and your grave will only vanish if all 100 tiles are full.

This fix will go live this week with the update.

OOOOoooo awesome! Thank you smile

Maybe a natural light green colour instead of a blue?

Yes, green is nicer and suits the game more than blue.

Also, I totally agree with Lotus' idea of a popup name bubble that forces people to name themselves and their babies.
No duplicate names (especially if the twins/trips/quads thing is happening.)

#449 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-03 17:30:32

Make babies unable to jump out of their mothers arms for the first minute (infant stage) so there's time to name them, crawling during that first year would be adorable!

#450 Re: Main Forum » Current idea for cursing/blessing » 2018-07-03 16:29:19

Most trolls are the people with no name. They often intentionally run off from their mothers so they can't get a name, and sponge off some other mother until they're old enough to cause trouble.

How about a snapshot system?
When you press ESC it makes a snapshot of the screen so you can directly click the person you want to curse?
