Yuri was better than the Moonmen, he was the original Major Tom

All of them great men, though.

Too good.

BAZINGA!

You know what I liked most, about Maple trees, seeing their little helicopter seeds, swept off by a strong breeze.

Toured the map making wells in my last life.

Probably one of the most peaceful past times.

to it's capacity, yes.

I'm sure someone smarter than me could tell you how many wild berries and cacti would be required at mostly near campfire temperatures.

How many fires we could maintain given the number of trees.

How much water and soil we'd be allowed to spice all that up; give us a little wiggle room.

We could probably get so good we could keep 1,000 people living around the clock, to full lives, from update to update.

I don't think it'd be too hard to do that, I mean, it's what I'm always trying to do anyway.

I think stability is what the majority of us strive for.

But even if we get to the point where 100 people all live full lives, every hour of every day, I'm fairly certain new variables will be added to challenge that stability. The trick here is not adapting to changes Jason makes, but to adopting behavior of the sort of community we strive to be.

As long as there are players who want more than others, there are going to be conflicts. I really don't see this, ever, being a trade based game, or a game that allows royal families to emerge and accumulate wealth. The resets, the decay, the apocalypses, there are just too many things to allow for anything like wealth to accumulate and become meaningful, which I am absolutely fine with.

I feel the lesson here has always been that we need to value each other, more than anything else.
It always has been, it always will be.

When moms started seeing kids as a burden, and then coming on forums and discussing it as if it was a strategy, a lot of people who felt they weren't valued in those lives, went on to devalue others in future lives. It's a similar problem with kids who give up on the mothers they've been born to. Neither of those two things account for what we see in real life, with a population on this planet of nearly 8 billion people and climbing, also, something I am absolutely fine with. People are the greatest things in the universe, we should make accommodations for as many of them as all the matter and energy we can muster, will allow.

So, just as in life, if we are going to have so many people doing so many things, we're going to need the layers below them, required to support them. This game is a very simplified version of life, where every resource could potentially be boiled down to pips of the food meter, over time. But there are, of course, other factors, such as the feeling of belonging, feeling needed and feeling responsible, for each other's ability to survive and enjoy their experience.

I know this is the case.
So does Jason.
So do most human beings.

I deserve that. I'm sorry children.

Lot of dead leaves on this tree.
May their rustle, haunt my dreams.

To the person in the grassland east of the swamp, in that second hour of the 500x500, the blonde haired woman who kept insisting they needed  the shovel, but who I took it from anyway. Thank you, for your work on the iron, I'm sorry you weren't there when I returned with the shovel. I'm sorry if you thought I was just a thief from another family. I wish you could have seen me not only return the shovel, but come back with a few more iron I was going to give you as thanks for your work.

To the woman who was working on the farm southeast of the forge. I saw you there, spreading the soil and planting the berries, and then a few minutes later when I returned, you were gone. I'm sorry if you didn't get to enjoy the fruits of your labor, but I brought in a few more dozen loads of soil with my backpack and a basket, after I dewormed some of the pits you drew soil from and dug them up with the shovel I'd borrowed. I made a few more 3x3 plots of soil, tilled them and planted most of your first batch of berries before I watered them and passed away by the forge to the northwest.

Thank you so much for your work.
Both of you.

No I played on the 500x500, long before the berries were staked and the milkweed was used up, I made sets of clothing while people were running around. No one did anything but eat food and run in circles, meanwhile I was getting seals, rabbits and starting farms in the swamps.

You folks just love to complain every time Jason does something, no matter what it is, and you don't even keep your mouths shut long enough to consider why he does it, or, better yet, how we can get through it.

You didn't plan for anything positive, all you talked about, like all you ever fucking talk about, is griefers.
Your go to excuse for all the shit you've done in this game to other players.

"I killed 90 people with sorts because griefers would have done worse."
"Someone called me a bad name, therefore they are a griefer."
This is griefing, that is griefing.
Why don't you people just shut, the fuck up, and play the game.
You have absolutely no fucking clue how good this game would be, if you all, ALL OF YOU, just shut up and played.

Just do the right thing. Just play.
I know exactly where I was, when I was

I've been playing through this whole thing, trying to keep you guys alive.

I didn't panic, I didn't make fucking fences, I didn't try to warp over the rift, although, I was launched over it one life, in the south, and started a home down there, and had half a dozen kids, that were about useless because you guys don't teach people shit in this forum, all you do is whine about fucking griefers, so none one learned anything coming here to see what people are saying about the game, all they know is you're a bunch of butthurt fucking pansies who can't cope with challenges.

Look, stop ruining the game because some 12 year old is playing the way you don't like. You ALL do worse to this community by doing shit like killing people for points, and trying to justify murdering kids calling you names, they're just kids. You're ruining the game for the adults by getting everyone up in arms over every little thing you don't like. YOU are the problem, not the 12 year old that cuts down trees or plays with bears, you, because you can't do anything more productive as a community than complain about it.

You're all so fucking insecure, you can't see the fun anymore. I'm not seeing anything creative from anyone of you on this forum.
It's just fucking moaning, about Jason, and griefers, Jason and griefers, just shut the fuck up already about your problems. Have some good ideas for once, would you?

I know most of you are having a good time playing, or you wouldn't be here, so why aren't you sharing your good times?

And those of you who are, those of you still sharing your stories and good ideas, you are all I have to look forward to in this community. Everyone else that fucking whines and complains about challenges, can just fuck off. Getting people all scared, thinking the 500x500 was going to be a nightmare, planning for the worst, because that's all you think about.

We were all in that together. And we could have done a lot better. I was really looking forward to having another go at it, and seeing how much better we could do the second time around. It was a perfect opportunity for all those people who eat and stand around to learn the value of work, and I think a lot of them did, because come the 1kx1k I saw a lot more of them, bustin their asses to keep the food supply up, and that's exactly what we needed; a challenge. Us vs the elements. Yes, hundreds of wild berry bushes got staked in the 500x500, I saw them just as much as all of you, but I did the most I could with what was left by the end of it.

And they weren't all staked by the end of it, there were still several, scattered about...

I'm too tired to wrap this up with a more positive message. But I had a lot of fun last night. Especially in the 500x500, but I definitely saw a change in people's playstyles in my 2nd and 3rd lives of the 1k, when I was actually involved with the same town twice in a row, from two different families.

Overall I had a great time. Clubbed a hell of a lot of seals!
And I not only think all of you did some really nice work, when you were actually in the game, but that we could do a lot better. Whether it's 1k, .5 or .2, we will do better, everytime.

Sorry for losin my temper; that was rough, but a lot of fun.

Looking forward to it again when I wake up, and so should you.

I've never downloaded the game from Jason and not needed an update.
I'm fairly certain he doesn't change the download for the game, itself, every time he adds new content.
I've never downloaded it from steam, so I can't help you with all that, but I know downloading it from whatever server he hosts it on, I personally, have gotten OneLife_v65c every time, and then just had to update that, which took about a half hour the last time I did it, about 7 months ago. That was around the time of version 176, maybe 178. It's been awhile.
Still, the patches are small, and they usually take a second or two to download, each.
I'm almost certain whatever you download to play the game, is going to need to be patched though, and that means making sure the game's folder is in a place where it has permission to make those changes.

callum, can you give more information about your situation?
What operating system are you using?

Have you tried clicking on Search and putting in words that might be related to your issue to see if others have experienced, and resolved it, in the past?

I'm sure a lot of people would like to help you, but they just can't, without more information.

But then again, the stones probably won't last, as the hatchets and stone hoes break, and the stones are all used up for wells and cisterns.

Oh, what a mess.

This should be done on another server, and an option to play there available when people go to log in. Forcing the players to changes like this is sure to turn people away, but then, Jason already has their money, maybe that's the goal; turn everyone away from the game so he can justify not paying for the servers, since that's only a steady loss of money, once the influx of new players buying the game, no longer justifies the bills.

I really hate thinking that is the case, but I wouldn't put it past him.
He can't feed his kids with art; creativity takes a back seat to business, time and time again.
