or you could play on an empty server
but maybe you just belong to the alternatives :

& if innocent couldn't explain well because they are maybe not that good at english or just because nobody believes while killers smooth their way through, what then ?

besides, i have really no intention to loose my meager one hour forced to explain while i was already a target, then is running away or even suiciding still a way better option than not only being killed with one click but also now in danger of being captured & interrogated based neither on any law nor authorization or skill

every prolongation of an unpleasant situation is victimizing further instead to help, same goes for those suggestions where a killer first injures a victim, why should a victim suffer at all ? & not the killer reap the consequences of their own doings ? why should this game favour aggressive people & not peaceful ? why should it support violence at all ? what is so civilized about violence ?

maybe we understand something different under civilization

i am not really sure what you mean by "a whole new civ"

longer or more complex tech tree is not civilizaiton how i understand it, it's just longer or more complex tech tree

how i understand civilizaiton is more than just technology & technological progress

your logic, really

i could ask the same

why kill the killer ?

& about being female in a game where your very kids can be your killer - did you even read how i am playing this game & why ?

also you apparently just don't understand the purpose of this game - it's not about "your" in game kids, it's not about "your" offsprings, it's about society & your tiny contribution to it,
so even if all of your own ofsprings die, you as player will still spawn somewhere, you know it
after one life is over the next is just a click away & maybe you will be spawned in an area where i was, where i fled to from a city where kilings took place & where i gave you, a stranger a head start with a killn, an oven, a farm, with some rabbits ...
a player doesn't need to be my family that i will help them, but a player can be my family & still kill me,
family in this game is set randomly, it has no genetics & the options for parenting are so far weak

additionally if you kill, you might be killed because you killed & then as you yourself stated killing goes on, so what is so great about killing the killer again ?

for me killing the killer is not a solution, killing is a symptom of an unfinished game

@jasonrohrer

maybe you could allow a warning sound at low hunger/food bar between 56 & 57, that's the most critical death, where the last music still didn't began, so it wouldn't disturb it, but it would give the player a needed reminder

@pein
looks like you were lucky with this settlement, this second community you described

similar are my experiences too,
smallish settlements with not so many people are in most cases the most peaceful, where players just want to have a chill time & support loosely the community
that's the most fun imo, you don't need to fight for your bare survival anymore & you can start to shape your life the way you want it, it's still hard but it's not the same berry bushes & the same fire bow again & again

i played yesterday an interesting life in a similar smallish settlement
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … l_id=97186
i was Jake Light, i wanted to hunt rabbits, as i often do, but ended up hunting wolves, my entire life i hunted several wolves, i think 7 ? didn't have time to count
the settlement was poor, i had no clothes, no backpack, so i had to rely on myself & the food around mainly & survive inbetween while hunting those wolves down
there was only one arrow already there in town, i made 3 additional, because there were just too many wolves, i lost one arrow
as i killed the last wolf in the badlands the bears would have been the next target, one bear was already around & there were several caves, 3 i think
as i was dying of old age, my Nameless Nephew grabbed the bow & arrows, or maybe just one arrow & headed to kill the bear, i think he was quite inexperienced with bears & got killed instead by the bear with the one arrow in the back
but i was dead then already - it was a stressful but good, very rewarding life

@Aname

not too many
a killer has ALL advantages if that's the gameplay that particular player wants
while a peaceful player has nearly NO options - run away - that's it, that's the only option

@Aname
they let them on the ground because after an hour every security measure taken is already broken
& there are indeed some players who just are not in the least interested in anything regarding killing

i've been to some towns still surrounded by bears, if one just leaves the main area there are bears roaming, so i've seen bows around the town, literally, several
because the towns are actually surrounded by bears, which then from time to time enter the town
one can carry arrows, if one is lucky enough to have a big enough backpack to carry 3 arrows that is, but players not interested in killing each other have better things to do than holding a bow all the time & munching pies or carrots made by others

few days ago i was in a smalish town where a knife was "hidden" in an open box, i opened it, closed it again & that was that
i am often asked to guard knives, i do it only reluctantly, everything surrounding killing people is JUST NOT WHAT I WANT TO PLAY, like, at all
actually i just don't want to be even bothered with this kind of gameplay scenarios, in OHOL i want to play development of civilization & not just another kill & get killed stupid superficial waste of my time, just another among the literall flood of games about that

then another experience from a game i played lately was a town in development with some steel tools there but not all, there was no saw & no chisel, but there was a blank file
i had the time to go search for a goose, to make an actually working file, to make the chisel & the saw then but then i knew, it would end up again with knives, so i just didn't do it
murder is just too easy, the victim ends up being punished & not the killer, so why should i participate ? this is not the gameplay i want, not at all

this matter just turns me off completely to even play the game, i am just tired of it
others are tired of farming carrots, i am tired of being bothered with killing people - simple

yeah, what you describe is covered under the "alternatives"

since it's not my type of gaming fun, so i don't do it, i can imagine though that some players like it that way
those are probably who then are strictly against any form of nerfing murder

i killed so far once, weeks ago, even before the apocalypse update, if i recall correctly
it was in a town where i was in a previous life the founder Eve of the family & was reborn there later & that's when murder happened to a young mother taking care of two babies
i wasn't killed afterwards, people have congratulated that i managed to kill the killer, but it was a pretty obvious situation at that time

meantime murder got quite out of hand, i feel like there doesn't need to be any reason to get killed, what players describe tells exactly those stories, mostly no reason or some triffles or even pure misunderstandings

few days ago i tested an alternative gameplay, i was born as male baby & decided not to say anything, the mother got increasingly concerned, started probably even to panic, ran around & asked questions, which i answered with silence - maybe she would have even go as far as kill me, out of fear i might be the next killer, who knows, i ended that experiment by suiciding, didn't want to cause more grief to the mother than i already did
but what this tells is, that an actual killer has an easy way to smooth into the lives of other players, just by being nice & responsive

just a note about a town - Cowtown or something similar

i was murdered there, for nothing
meantime it's really just lame, just lame
but that's not the point
the point is
i was born into that very town, where i was murdered for nothing, as A FEMALE BABY - P E L E A Z E !!! where is the incentive for me to nurish other players in a town where i was murdered while i was starting to actually being helpful ? i wanted making carts, i wanted to optimize the pies production, milkweed farm, backpacks, the usual needs ... nothing became out of this because some player for some reason removed me from this my gameplay & then the game sets me exactly there, where probably the very same player might maybe become even my own kid ? yeah - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

on a side note
that i am being being murdered again is to test if my suggestions to not being murdered, not being an easy target actually are helpful or exaggerated
so far i've been murdered in the last couple of days two times again & if i would have followed my own advice, i would have lived, so - yeah - my suggestions are very reasonable

here's the list of suggestions
so you've been murdered & want to avoid it next time ? here's how

- - -

there are some suggestions regarding naming in OHOL
look up here https://www.reddit.com/r/OneLifeSuggest … rict_sr=on

i don't want to deminish what is interesting for you to play
i think it is a very good idea & i think by doing what you suggest you are increasing the friendly peaceful atmosphere in the game, which i'll always
support

yeah, i'm waiting too for culture & traditions discerning towns & family lineages from each other

though i'll probably never will be a gladiator nor will i be enjoying to watch a gladiator match, at least not until other, for me way more pressing features are not included, like painting, music, science, invention, weaving, design, sailing, trade ... those are the traditions i am waiting for, fighting is so present everywhere regarding games, i am so tired of them, but i'm glad you enjoyed a different kind of a game with this scenario
