Yeah, they started killing each other. If there are a lot ppl with same name or sometimes nameless, it's hard to tell who killed, so if somebody starts, bloodbath is almost certain. You hear death scream, see "Ree killed me" and what you gonna do?

Well, when you see something like that, it ends up with genocide more often than not.  Working on extending farm or smithing some more tools seem to be pointless at this moment, isn't i?.  What options do I have? I don't wanna be docile sheep waiting for slaughter. There is clearly at least one troublemaker in family already.

I didn't stop hating them, though. And I kill probably only very inept ones. That being said, I still would like to have karma-like system in game. But before I finish design, I need to learn what kind of defence is already possible, so I don't overreact. I hate to say that, but I also will need to see how it looks from the griefer's side, so just... you know... beware

BTW. I want raids back and I think that some karma-like system will make it possible. Seriously. People will love to have griefer born it the town.

Thanks again TrustyWay for lessons! I've saved family from griefer at 4th gen. Left them bow hidden (I've shown to one person where).  I've just checked lineage now, ane they are at 17th gen and still going.

This one did, quite successfully. He run out of arrows, that's why he started running.

I tried to aim, but I didn't even see him. It was quite fast though, so I'm not 100% sure that you can't.  I knew behind which tree he was, because bow has limited range and it was quite obvious, seeing people being hit.

Yeah, that's what I mean.  After making enough arrows, not before.

Thanks TrustyWay! For the first time I defended my family today (not as Eve, but early settlement still). I stole the arrow and had time to make a bow (I forgot about chasing griefer with a snack till she drops the bow to eat - that's actually very clever, before I didn't know why they are so pissed when I just run around). Lost one son and daughter to griefer niece but other son and daughter lived. Your ideas were definitely usefull. And next time I'll for sure make a bow before a lasso I should have been prepared before she started. I wish I could've killed her, but actually she starved while we both were running around with bows (I've eaten full before coming back for revenge).

Is it usefull to get rid of goose around village, to make crafting arrows harder?  And where to hide the bow.  Just behind some tree nearby, where it's hard to see it?

Ok, I understand that you may have an opinion that there isn't any problem to solve there.  Let's agree to disagree.

I'm quoting exactly what people are saying, so... Where I did it?  I acknowledged your point that cursing could be used over petty stuff. And I definitely don't want that either.

P.S. I'm gonna chill now, there are indeed too many posts about that.

That's strawman. Jason is juggling many task and other things may have been more important. If anything at all, he acknowleded the problem by adding lineage ban to remove repeated griefing, even if it has drawbacks for other players. So that shows he thinks problem is or at least was serious.

Can't find any sensible arguments against propositions close to mine. That's why I'm asking.  If you can point me to relevant posts, or what exactly to search for, that would help me a lot.

It isn't - it just spreads griefing more evenly among players. Does nothing to prevent it (except that repeated griefing in harder to achieve).

That does nothing in most serious cases, when you've eradicated the whole lineage. You cannot come back anyway - they are no more.

That's only because there are very few active players. And that's what I'm trying to improve.

I'm nowhere proposing that you need to kill or wait for griefer to die to curse him - you can do it anytime.

That may be valid issue.  However I'm not so sure that people will use the only curse that they have for whole day, just because some random stranger asked them to.  It's hard to predict before it's implemented though.  There are ways to counter it, if it becomes a real issue.

You can curse, say, once per day.  There is one griefer trying to murder ten other people in a village.  He gives one curse, which doesn't do anything on its own.  He gets 10, which sends him to purgatory next game.  Where is the problem? What doesn't work?

I too guess that's the most frequent reason.  It pisses me off when two girls suicide in a row.  That may be death sentence for Eve.

I suicide sometimes when I spawn like 6th time in a row as Eve/Eve's kids, but I try to do it only as a boy.

I wouldn't call it hell.  You'll be playing for a while with players that share your playstyle. That may be even interesting and challenging.  What's wrong with that?

Thanks. So it needs much more pre-planning. Everybody cannot just start from making backpack and knife - the village will starve.  And I'm not sure that having 3-5 knifes around all the time won't cause more problems than it solves.  But thanks for suggestions.

What you do with the knife near end of life? You hide it or pass it to somebody? And if you pass, then how do you choose to whom, to avoid trouble?
