well, if you find it legit to kill others yourself, then you shouldn't complain about others killing you
every killer has surely a good explanation for killing & a good reason to do so

& that's why i don't trust nobody anymore in this game
doesn't mean that i don't meet very nice & helpful people & doesn't mean that i am not helpful nevertheless
i just don't expect anybody to be not a killer, because anybody can & OHOL has no options in place for me to prevent being murdered, so i must take precautions myself

@Potjeh
to ignore killers will just make them more agressively kill, this is already happening
a game where defenseless people can be killed just calls for literally everybody trying a hand in killing - it's so easy & so without consequences
& many of those who neither want to be killed nor kill have just deflected to the private servers, those players have asked murder to be removed from the game & since the helplessness remains so they just fled where they are safe
i am probably one of the few last players playing on the official servers who don't kill & i am probably the only one who doesn't get killed anymore

sure, i can play another life in another life constellation - but what if i wanted to play where i was killed or the person i wanted to play with was killed ?
the killer took my opportunity from me, WHY should a killer have the say ? why should i get complacent with being shushed around ? where is the gain for me to give space to violence ? did it EVER worked anywhere ? as far i know, this is just an invitation for more of the same, more violence, lol

& about playing as there was no killers
i still am playing that way as male baby, so i have plenty of opportunity to observe how rampant killing actually is - & it is rampant, nearly in every scenario, at least 80% there is at least one murdered person & serious attempts to kill & the reasons why a person is being killed gets more & more ridiculous, just because it is easy to kill & because it has no consequences

@KucheKlizma
you mean it's that game that YOU like to play & you are just ignorant enough to tell me that i should atone, right ?

would i have known before i started playing & before i paid, that a game which claims to be about parenting & civilization is actually being compromized by easy murder on defenseless people, i surely wouldn't have even bothered
nowhere on the front page or in the trailer video is visible the warning that anybody can be easily killed because violent players rule & that nobody should make a big deal out of this because "it's just a game"
there is nowhere a warning that OHOL is "that" sort of game

- - -

with your last remark, with "Well played ..." do you approve of that sort of gameplay ? do you wish for that sort of gameplay, where you cannot trust ANYBODY ?

maybe you still don't realise that because every person in OHOL is looking like everybody else, that those who killed before for fun can sneak into your gameplay as your very own daughter, who you raise with hope of support & who then can just shoot you, just like that

or do you wish for gameplay options to prevent being killed, to be able to revert the harm done to you & maybe even wish to revert the harm done to others ?
because in the current state of the game - your only options are
* Don't Trust Nobody !!!
* if you see a person with knife or bow in hand - Watch Out, it could be a killer ! remove yourself out of range
* if someone asks to follow them, it could be a killer
* if someone asks you to give him the arrow you removed from the killed person or bear or asks even for your backpack, it could be a killer preparing for his later killing spree or next target
* if someone wants to hand you a bow or a knife, step back, you could get killed by accident
* if you know for sure someone who killed, RUN !

* or you could become a killer yourself, try to kill the killer in an act of revenge or because you feel entitled to police the settllement
* or you could remove yourself from the official servers & play on a private server where the murder option is disabled

i do not suicide

i am protesting by suicide - that's a difference, isn't it ?

please inform yourself about the matters involved, here
https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1367

i am protesting by the only defence left, it's like a hunger protest after nothing else is left than to become a violent offender myself, which i refuse
i am protesting because in OHOL i am left helpless & defenseless against any player with a bow or knife, self righteous or just bored

what i expect to happen ?

i expect OHOL to be about what is promissed on the main page - a "game of parenting and civilization building"
so far is OHOL about in what way you get killed in your next couple of minutes life & how many different scenarios of other players killed you have to endure
& i am not even mentioning the constant infanticide

i was playing yesterday in a settlement where apparently not only the bear was loose but also at least one griefer & murderer

the bear was circling the settlement for years but nobody managed so far to kill him, he had already one arrow in him
i didn't even have a backpack at that time because nobody cared for nothing in that settlement, i was making a backpack for me as i saw the bear again & thought that maybe i should rather help out
i knew that there was a bow in the settlement, so i concentrated on making arrows, i managed to make two & ran back to the settlement with those arrows in a basket but the bow was gone, i asked where it was, nobody answered but in return a killer showed his knife & started moving towards me, everybody else was running in circles helpless, i think, i just gave up then, the people in that settlement were anyway not very helpful with each other, they didn't care to defend themseves against the bear as there was still time, so maybe they just didn't deserve to be protected against neither, the bear & the killer

i just run far away, miles & miles into the wild & died from old age feeding of berries

well, Jason has to know what sort of players he wants to have on board when the game proceeds with updates

i play RTS, so pretty much i know how to kill, but OHOL was not announced as a game about killing & killing killers & killing griefers
would that have been the case i surely wouldn't have paid for it nor wasted my RL time with it in the first place
i am sticking around just waiting for reasonable updates & NO, deflecting to a private server is not the solution,
when i go here away, then to play other games & not to waste my time here where i am not being welcomed as a constructive player

i am not against the murder option in a game but i am against the lack of protection a potential victim has
& i am also against the only option that to do something with the created helplessness is to become murderer myself & use the game to create a life as a self entitled righteous killer
no, thank you

to make it short

I DO NOT KILL IN OHOL

so NO
i was not that guy that killed you
i went away after my mother was killed
there was no point to proceed after my only reason to be there was destroyed

& i really am asking myself

are you as detached from your humanity that the reason to respond here is to laugh & rejoyce in what you see as a great gameplay ?

OHOL is not the game to kill people not able to protect themselves
at least it ought not to be that way
if OHOL will remain that sort of a game for the next couple of updates i will stop playing it

there are plenty of games i could be playing where killing each other is the main if not even the only opportunity at gameplay
so if i wanted to, then i would be playing those games

i am playing OHOL to play civilization & parenting
so far OHOL is not about that

i suicide as Eve because i am able to survive alone, i know what to do, i can live to 60 easily
that's why i am bored with a life alone as Eve, it repeats,
OHOL is a MP, so i want to play together with others in a constructive way

my main gameplay for now is to play as a male descendant, supportive to the community,
if i am being welcomed, i will live & will try to do everything in my meager power to support that community

but
anything revolving around killings, murders & killings of murderers is not a constructive way to play - that's my opinion, deal with it

& i am not being murdered anymore, but i cannot prevent the murders happening around me, this has to be delivered as peaceful, non agressive, non violent options by the game, within the gameplay
as long those options are not there i will proceed as described

any killing of a murderer or griefer or whomever, is a killing - face the truth
there is no righteous killing - that's my opinion

a revenge does not bring for me & for others those gameplay opportunities wasted in killings
a revenge is to pile up more wasted life on top of a life wasted by killing or griefing

i tried it out to withhold & avoid violence in this game while still producing families, this felt like wasting my time,
because OHOL is programmed so far giving killers options but victims NONE
if you kill a killer it just won't help the victim to get back to life where it could have been lived - face the truth

- - -

as long there is no cure for murder given into the hands of a victim
& as long there is no family trees
i will still suicide as baby 100% & as Eve for about 75%

so not every player who suicides as baby wants to be just reborn in some stupid town to some "lineage" known only to the game but not the player in question
do i have to make a spreadsheet to know if my Eve lineage survived ?
& what for ? murderers, griefers & self righteous killers are born into that "lineage" as well randomly, so i couldn't care less, for my "twice removed cousins",

my thinking

the solutions focus too much on catching & punishing bad behaviour
it's easier to record & reward good, constructive behaviour, actions supporting a settlement

in that town that didn't care & later suicided at 18, i was a wee kid with no clothing so pretty much prone to fast starvation, stood by the berry bush farm where everybody has eaten berries & a female said to me i shouldn't eat berries - yeah, i went then into the wild to die in peace

a karma system was also suggested

i suggested a guild system

in any case, all those changes are basic, not something that can work while not changing how the game treats players - as interchangeable objects of the very same look & interaction

griefing & murder has no options of consequences in the current state of the game & that's the source of the problems
