One Hour One Life Forums

i kill extremely seldom, that's a difference between killing as a rule & never killing
i am not a pacifist, but to kill in this multiplayer, where players spawn randomly somewhere & where it belongs to the core mechanics of the game that you don't know who you're playing with, plays into the hands of griefers, who can hide easy but also prevents players from realising what's going on at all
add to that, that i am playing vanilla, means no awbz info & no zoom & the life gets pretty hard to live already on itself

& not every player is using mods & not every player is on discord while playing
in fact, if i realise that a player is roleplaying, chatting on discord while playing, twinning, using awbz to manage the game, then i am out, cause i see all that as cheating & destroying my gameplay
& there is no value for me to play with players skewing & actually destroing the gameplay in those ways

people kill & curse often not because they know what they are doing but because they want to get on with their life, without much thinking
where you see conviction i see confusion
players have seldom the knowledge what's going on at all & curse the wrong players, heal the wrong players & let die the wrong players, yes that happens
but as often happens also that they realise what's going on & kill & curse the right player & heal the right player
so, there is no reason for any panic

i've been today to a newish town & someone was building there a tool shed
it was not very well placed, but what building in OHOL really is ?

it was not a big house, probably 3x4, it had two doors on one side, several boxes to keep the various tools more organized

it is probably one of the good ideas one should keep as an OHOL staple

- - -

how do you "fight back" in OHOL ?
lol

killed players rarely curse
already because one has only one curse token per hour played tops

either empty severs or DT

Eve chaining is not any objective of OHOL

DT is punishment & not a reward

curses don't make the game unplayable

your score goes down while you play in regular game, as quoted

the high score is amounted by players who just can't get over the fact that players are killable in this game, so they kill repeadedly & get cursed repeadedly

to reach such a high score, which doesn't go down as easily, you have to grief run after run & get cursed a big amount of times

if you've never got to DT, then you worry about scores which are completely out your griefing league

why is this global life time score for repeated offenders necessary ?
to prevent the sitting out until the score goes down & then grief again the heck out of it

- - -

you are mistaken

so yeah,
decay is what you make it
you live uncursed & you'll never see DT

btw, i don't grief, never been to DT, been cursed few times but lived much more times uncursed, so no worries there
& even, if i should ever get to DT, i have no problems with being a childless Eve

yeah, bad
griefers & killers get away with this

pigs are quite useless, people still mix up pork for mutton
pork is being used only for two recipes - pork tacos & dogs

dogs are indeed rather a griefing form than anything else

cows are not as useless as pigs for they give milk, which is quite nutricious
but they take up space with the bison needing a whole hour to disappear after being shot & that's mostly being done middle in the sheep pen blocking the already cluttered space with all the bones, dead lambs & poop
also how many know how to tend to a cow at all ? i don't
& additonally, buckets are probably scarce because milkweed is scarce & in a best scenario all the carpentry tools are scattered all over the place, in the worst, are broken & someone had to get iron first

also
the pens are still a pain in the butt to build
i will make pens after the basic production chains flow in towns,
atm it doesn't look like it will happen soon

i always tried to be constructive, meantime with players working like mad on things which have no chance to function i suicide often
i think this makes also the difference
if i stay, i am helpful depending on what the town needs, there is usually plenty of work to be done & i can do lots of things fairly quick, so i am being helpful, no matter where i spawn
& if i suicide, then i am being helpful as well, because stupid set ups deserve to be forgotten & annoying players don't deserve my help & if other players around just don't care, then good riddance

if i stay in town till 60, then that was a good life & people were at least not jerks,
if i suicide before, then people were jerks & the town was hopelessly set up, so no real improvements could be made without others helping
or people were just that much of jerks, that even if i could help the town, i just don't
cause my RL time is precious, i don't waste it on idiots working in a social multiplayer game against my genuine efforts to be helpful,
muderers were months ago my main source of sorrow, but meantime it's the egoistic players who just work without any consideration if what they are doing is even helpful

just because someone tends to berries & saves every berry bush doesn't mean it's helpful while i am trying to get hold of the whole farm by making it functional & not just let it spread wider & wider
removing berry bushes from a huge & proliferating berry farm is probably the most thankless job ever, i do it only from time to time, because it's a very frustrating job
players are constantly putting soil on bushes i am working on to remove, it takes time & in that time frame those busy bodies just do their mindless stuff again & again
i would even go as far as to call such players griefers in disguise of helpfulness

so in the different time length i live per life, the first thing i am trying to examine already as baby is if the town has at all a chance to be made a bit more functional by me & if the people seem to be reasonable
there are lives where i suicide right away as baby, because the people are doing morronic stuff, so no use for me to waste my time trying to work against them
then there are lives where i have a chance to improve things & am working already on them but all of sudden one player or two are extremely rude & inconsiderate, i then suicide right away, no matter if i am male or female, even as the last girl, i will suicide, cause the best thing i can do in such scenarios is to remove myself from the space of those players
i would be happy if i could mark players as extremely rude to never again meet with them in game, from time to time i curse them, but i don't even waste my curse token on every annoying player, some don't even deserve to be cursed

the game is meantime quite complex in social interactions & it's hard to tell if someone is being helpful or not but there are signs, the more experienced a player is & not a griefer by will, the quicker they can realise what a town needs
but all efforts can be made nil by players being obnoxious & inconsiderate

do those players make also a difference ? yes, a negative one
they are the next gen griefers
being antisocial is meantime being a griefer because OHOL is a genuine multiplayer, where players have to play constructively together or at the very least not stand in the way of others working

some comments :

additional jobs :
Fisherman
Potterer
Milkman
...

also
every of the workplaces would need an actual place with enough space to work properly
we have atm extreme mismanagement, it's really like Babel i imagine
& space problems, missing tools, missing skill are the things that had to be improved

i will make an own Jobs thread

yeah, that's why i suggested a craftable info board
that would be communication not in a direct manner with speech
but i still think it would be used because some sort of management of settlements is needed

yep
see that everywhere
not enough space to handle all the future load but already putting boards around no matter what
same goes with kiln & newcomen pump, which is not even destructible & stands often somewhere middle in the way of something

i've been now to some towns, where i just suicided cause improvement was impossible anymore, people have made houses with stone walls, completely dysfunctional, small, narrow, next to fast roads, meandering roads between doors, have even built those dysfunctional things further as i was there

i am trying at least to do some minor improvements like putting a stone foor on crossroads, on tile with door
but some towns are just to run away from
if people additionally are there obnoxious or rude, then i sure just quit

did suicide now after born into the Jo lineage

there is no correlation between the size of a town & griefer occurance

as others have stated
griefers are everywhere

there is only one obvious correlation
the higher the number of people the higher the probability of griefers
