The nicer the town the more food there is, the more murders there are. For some reason, murders don't make me very angry like people who undo your work. I was stabbed shortly after I took this screen shot and I just stood there.
It's not as exciting as being killed by a snake, not as memorable as removing a bush on your own at long last being murdered is kind of nice since it removes you from the place with all the chaos for a bit.
That's not to say that I don't take steps to reduce the problem. Most murderers can't even make knives. They are in a nice town with all the food they need and rather than learn something new make a car or a radio or even just a pump, they go for the murder since they don't have a job or the pressure of finding food.

I'm no longer a skeptic. It is worth the extra time to work and be efficient. Did I mention I made all those tires? I would have done maybe one set tops without the yum. Also I was able to give my backpack to a lad who wanted to go for rabbits with out being scared that I couldn't make it to the sulfur and back without starving.
That is a win for the town in my view. Carts with tires, and extra gasket and a lad hunting rabbits.
I don't really like YUM as a game, but the reward for playing is worth the extra thought.

But you have so much more time to work and concentrate on a task without running for food every moment.

When I go looking for other settlements I fill my cart with baskets of rope. I wish one could put 3 lassos in a basket. I find so much milkweed in the wild that when a parent asks me to grow it I say "OK" then go out of town and just pick it and bring it back.

In my last game I focused a bit on the yum chain. It's not an enjoyable task but I was surprised how much it helped me to eat MUCH less often. So, what I don't understand is if you have a longer chain does this mean that you can wait longer to eat between *every* food later in the chain? Because if this is the case I think I understand spoonwood's point. Once you are at say 12 YUM you get to keep using that 12 over and over so resetting it is a large loss.
In any case I was able to make 4 sets of tires in that life because once the YUM was high enough I didn't need to think about food as much... kind of counter intuitive.

Suppose that Burdock and Mutton Pie both had negative fertility effects. Somthing like cutting the chance of a kid in half for 5 min after you eat each. This would let Eves have a way to avoid kids at the very early stage a little and give big villages and incentive to avoid mutton pie while reducing the over all population (I suspect many people in big towns have eaten mutton pie in the last 5 generally speaking, so it would work in a stealth way on women not paying attention.)
#1236 Re: Main Forum » Big towns die because of game mechanic and not players mistakes » 2019-03-20 05:33:26
I've seen so many towns die to lack of people. Only a few "famines" most of the time being short on food is due to
-greifers
-bad location
-too many lazy players who let the fire go out OMG.

True true. LOL. I just think it was worth at least trying to understand if there is anything to understand.

Um yeah. It means sex. This is sexual. I'm so sorry to all the innocent beans.
Oh my goodness. I don't know what to say. A woman in the game once asked me about such a thing so I decided my guy was gay. People will have sex in any context I suppose even a survival game.

Early in the day before work I played a game where it was a Eve town and I was scrambling to get adobe for a sheep pen. I placed the adobe in the pattern as I found it, I don't like to finalize it until I know how much adobe I have. Well, I come back after an adobe run and find my sister ... um ... building a house, a wall using the adobe. I know some players like to build but did she look around and notice we had no sheep. I said "WTF this is for the sheep pen" and she said sorry so I thought she was just new. Come back later? and she's using my adobe again! So I grabbed a round stone and started setting the pen up as fast as I could. After each run I set it in place right away. And I felt like I made a terrible pen. It was rushed and bad. There was a tree in the top wall and the lower corner was were the fire was, bad placement. All my fault.
Anyway I died telling my kid about this and thought "well that town is doomed"
I was born in to the same town later today and it was just lovely! The berries were nicely spaced,
I know how you suffered for those berry rows whoever did that! I saw the aftermath...
they had made my bad pen choices work somehow (the bakery was the upper corner of the pen it was very odd) And someone had found a cow! The house they build for it was lovely!
Anyway, whoever did all this work you made my day. Thank you!

It's easy to be angry at griefers and want them to be punished, but keep in mind greifers are often trying to punish those around them for perceived wrong and slights. They are giving back to the world what they feel it has given them and the wold has given them pain.
So, shouldn't we try to rehabilitate griefers instead? Instead of a kind of penitentiary in the wilderness why not some kind of enhanced tutorial that taught Good Citizenship, for Toxic? When we leave our young in nurseries with a woman we don't even know can we really be shocked when they turn out to be killers and people who turn the oven in to a kiln?
I propose a camp for troubled youth in OHOL it would be a place to learn to make compost and grow milkweed. Most important it would be a place of love and support to help heal the griefer's soul. Toxic would be the first student.
What is the real source of all of the grief? Let's talk about it together over some stew.

Look at my jerk nephew's last words. After getting me and my daughter killed by putting a boar in the pen... this was an early town. No one was going to make carnitas for generations.
#1244 Re: Main Forum » Hard Mode: Challenge for top players only » 2019-03-18 23:48:25
Yup. She was killed by the boar too. OMG.
#1245 Re: Main Forum » Hard Mode: Challenge for top players only » 2019-03-18 23:44:51
Haha, I was in this town, you got killed by a domestic boar that a guy put on pen and I that guy was your nephew, but I’m not sure, your daughter was killed by that boar as well and I was too old to have children, I think there were one fertile left, but I couldn’t find her. I think this town died because of that stupid boar.
OMG my nephew was the cause of everything wrong in that life LOL.

I once saw an ancient stone building in the center of a town with mosquitos inside, it was 1x1 and had no door. I tip my hat to whoever pulled that off probably saved a ton of lives.
#1248 Re: Main Forum » You see a knife on the ground, what do you do? » 2019-03-18 19:39:46
I lived in a town where a knife was on the ground and everyone knew not to use it unless it was necessary for something. Such a heavenly place. Too bad it died out because of lack of fertility.
I've been in towns like that, but also towns where it started like that then some useless little shit was born who decided to ruin it all. Some people think that if a knife is lying there people are "stupid" for not doing anything to prevent them from becoming kill joys. And these same people think they are teaching a lesson of some kind. Or that is their rationalization for having so little self control.

More context: In a 4th gen camp I say from the start that my life goal is to remove the middle row from a 7x6 patch of berries. There is a well on this row so it would be perfect to make more work space.
I empty the bushes and feed sheep and make compost. I make a steak, I get the water ready. I have a shovel but I just can't click fast enough to remove a single bush. My daughter starts to help me when my nephew says "no don't remove them" and takes my steak and hides it. he can't understand why I want to do it. He proceeds to put soil on the bushes I want to remove undoing all of my work. Now I have to wait a long time for the bushes to get berries and pick them all again.
I guess he thought I was up to no good but I felt like crying because I was so close to getting it done. Other people in the village agreed with my project or didn't care. One jerk undid it all.
How do any of you remove a bush on your own? Why is it so darn hard? I did manage to remove just one after watering them all again and picking them clean with the help of another more sensible nephew.
IDK if someone is trying to do something and being open about it's probably not greifing. You don't have to help but it's a dick move to undo someone else's work.
#1250 Re: Main Forum » You see a knife on the ground, what do you do? » 2019-03-18 19:21:31
Before the update I'd end up with a backpack full of knives far too often. I wonder what people made of my corpse? Old man hoarding knives. (I don't hoard them, generally I give a knife to anyone who can say why they need it who hasn't been acting odd)
