I was born to a tan fam my name Max, big town with gingers too. As I got older I noticed about three gingers, one old guy with horsecart/bps with weapons one ginger ponytail woman with a knife/sword and one man with bow/arrow. I thought for certain we were screwed but for some reason they never attacked the center of town all at once, they were probably killing on the outskirts but I didn't see any red murder pings either! Plus someone got the horsecart back from the old dude, who died and then the two remaining would be murderers were left struggling I think lol.

It was my first game since the update so far so good but I think people are TRYING to figure out groups. For better or for worse.

Interesting. However, now you need consent of the whole town to tattoo someone. A built in exception for this would be nice.


NOOOOOOO Tattoos are broken again??? D:

Well, the point was trade, and people routed around it by living together.  That is a form of trade, but it's not trade between towns.

I'm still thinking about ways to force them apart more.  You should want/need SOME contact with other fams, but it shouldn't be optimal to simply merge together into one entity.  Seems like diseases may be warranted, but I haven't thought it through.

There is also specialization within a family due to tool slots, so one person in the village simply can't do everything.


Also, I don't 100% believe you that the main problem is multi-racial towns.  I think you're probably just annoyed that you can't get oil solo.  It's good that you can't just get oil solo, because as an expert player, you're just going through the motions whenever oil is needed.  There's no challenge or uncertainty there.... it's just routine.

I can deal with tool slots and race restrictions. I'd RATHER HAVE one or the other though as BOTH limit tech tree climbing;

I CANNOT deal with diseases being added to different races that force us to play apart. MULTIPLE people agree that the playstyle HAS to involve all important races to survive. In a way we have been shoehorned into living together because we NEED to, the new toolslot/racial restrictions ENCOURAGES this playstyle more than any other so players adapted and that's NOT people being 'lazy' or 'not wanting trade' it's literally because we can't play any other way! It would make zero sense to play how you want us to. The players are doing what's best for the towns, to suddenly make us all some kind of disease carrier to other race fams will cause way too many issues.

#129 Re: News » Update: No Solo » 2020-02-14 14:43:23

I appreciate the changes but I'm worried about group killers teaming up more often. I really hope this doesn't have that side effect because forming a posse against griefer players is hella more difficult for ppl that aren't on discord. Even with hierarchies getting people to form a posse doesn't always work out so...what do we do then? I don't want to have to beg people to help stop murderers and waste precious time, I liked being able to take out solo-killers tbh. Now I don't know if the griefer will run to the outskirts (unlikely) or just run around camp until someone does something to stop them?

Or maybe NOW people WILL posse up more to take out  groups murdering ppl. I'll have to play to find out lol.

#130 Re: Main Forum » An interesting change. » 2020-02-14 14:28:30

I've only been targeted by a posse once and killed (roleplay shenanigans I did nothing wrong lol) the rest were solo griefers trying to target me but I always moved. The problem was that newbies just stood there while one person was out to kill them.

This won't be able to happen anymore apparently which is good BUT now I'm worried about having to form an anti-griefer posse with people that still don't want to join up! I tried it before but only one guy knew how and wasn't old enough to say 'I join you' the rest were either pacifists, busy vets who couldn't be arsed with the situation or newbies that still didn't get the memo even after I explained. I took out two ppl over seperate lives that were FOR SURE trying to shoot the fertile women but now I'm scared that they're ALL going to team up in future because solo kills being nerfed means groups are the only way to go. That's probably super bad too.

Also I play on laptop with a trackpad so the murder mechanics are difficult to pull off anyway!

#132 Re: Main Forum » An interesting change. » 2020-02-14 00:51:51

Maybe a message ping for new players when they get targeted "You are being targeted with a weapon, RUN AWAY!" Or something?

But honestly when I joined over a couple years back there was a lot of murder too lol first game I was insta killed so even with all the new warnings I don't think we can save everyone. Idk what to suggest other than that.

In fact most of my lives have been alright! smile

Side note - you can wash seeds out of a bowl with water. It doesn't waste the water.

Bless you, written down also. My notes are getting huge and disorganised lmao one more won't hurt!

I knew you could empty wheat outta the bowl/carrots and a couple others? that escape me right now lol.
Luckily with Satan mask guy helping me we cycled through a ton of seeds and carrots plus made a couple tools before our slots got us probably! The farm was looking miles better by the time we'd finished and it was a pleasure!

I was Peteris sharp gen 46 in a big town today, as a kid some other bby tried putting the Satan mask on me, I kept swapping it back for my fur hat and I felt a kinship with this guy immediately lol he let me keep my hat.

I saw the MASSIVE amount of carrot seeds and spent most of my life clearing out the way too huge seed farm, cycling carrots to the bakery, clearing a smaller patch from seeds, making way for wine grapes and looking after the other crops here and there.

Satan mask guy kept checking in and helping! Placing carrots in his bp and shorts also he fed the sheep's and made lots of compost. I had to make shears as I couldn't find them anywhere in the huge town even with zoom so me and Satan mask guy made two, having the same idea.

Sorry I can't remember your name Satan mask guy I'm terrible with names and you weren't my fam so I couldn't look you up. You died after I asked how to get the seeds to plant more, I was pretty sad after that.

Wild grape plant+shears=grape cutting. I wrote it down because otherwise I'd forget.

1v1 a killer?

In what context?

How did they kill in the first place, if 1v1 is impossible?

Oh, they had a posse of other people backing them, which allowed them to kill?  Then they have support, and you shouldn't be able to 1v1 them.

1v1, by definition, means there's no consensus that the victim should die.  You are acting unilaterally.  I.e., without justification.  At least not enough justification to convince 2 other peeps to agree with you.

The cap of 3 for min posse size is an arbitrary choice for now.  If coordinated griefer teams are the only ones killing, and they reliably form posses of 3, then I will up it to 4 or 5 or whatever is necessary.

Each new person required makes forming a coordinated team dramatically more difficult.  Forming a team of N is N^2 hard.


I want it to essentially get to the point where the ONLY people killed are those committing other non-murder crimes.  Where the whole village agrees and decides the person should die.

With leadership, organizing a group of four or 5 isn't that hard in-game.  Exile the target, so they can't hear the orders, and then use order messages to conspire against them.

Actually, they killed because new players stood around in the same spots so that they got hit with a bow twice and once with a knife over different lives. Even if they see the gasp/shocked face some new players still don't understand that they need to gtfo of a killers way! They're literally sitting ducks! They see the face, nothing happening for a while then they see the red and THEN it clicks.

In no situations I mentioned were the killers in a posse. They were alone is that now impossible? I played yesterday and earlier today, idk if anything changed yet.

#137 Re: Main Forum » An interesting change. » 2020-02-13 17:41:37

I had to solo kill two or three people since I started playing again but they all had bloody weapons, we'll still be able to 1v1 a killer though right??? Nobody around me really knew how to join up either.

To be fair maybe I haven't been choosing the right pink/orange they're pretty bright whereas the purple is muted and maybe more eyepleasing. I'll pull out some more markers!

Please don´t take it as "advice" I couldn´t even draw a tree myself tbh. I love your style and just thought in my mind dancers are always expressing something like happyness or they are flirty or maybe some kind of ecstasy. But maybe yours are just nervous because they are perfoming to us? lol.  The ginger guy looks stiff with his lips tight while the girl in red just looks at him like: Hey relax you doing fine.... On the same note I love how the girl in purple is like: Bitch take me to dance!

Honestly don't worry I appreciate it! It's not like you were being negative, just giving helpful tips! I'll definitely have more fun with expressions as I usually draw emotions a lil more than this in my day to day drawings so I totally see what you meant by the awkward gazes and don't feel bad because I agree lol! I'll just remember to switch it up a bit and I think it'll improve the picture overall so thanks again it was helpful!

When we get purple dye for realsies it's gonna be a HUGE party! Everyone will be dancing and expressing themselves lol.

Thanks! I try to stay 'true' to ohol expressions' for the most part but you're right, I should definitely give them more emotion like /joy /happy etc otherwise it may look flat and awkward. I will take your advice for the next time!

#145 Re: Main Forum » Long lineages don't feel like an accomplishment anymore » 2020-02-12 01:41:10

I've only had relatively good lives bar one since I've returned, maybe because only one of them was a huge town! There's always been a decent amount of murder since I've played do idk what to suggest really other than getting competent players to help you get a posse together if someone is a big problem.

I don't like how tool slots are tied to genes either, or that hot coals is a tool??? Flabbergasted.

Woah we paid fourty quid on this already I would never buy into micro transactions, I'm having fallout shelter flashbacks lol

Plus I'm still waiting for orange and purple.

I think youtubers with their funny, but stupid videos are attracting more trolls etc. into game.

To an extent I agree because almost every single streamer for ohol that I've watched has had a 'griefer moment' or two. It is a part of the game, sure! But as long as there's a 'good' posse to fight the 'bad' posse we should be fine.

It's sad that a posse ganged up on your ma Wizard, believe me I know it sucks; https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=8876
Luckily this happened before the black text curse update but still it was hands down one of the worst lives just because of all the work I did to help that was overshadowed by roleplay crazies.

If the curses still wear off after 30days then I'd suggest she take a break, I just got done with mine and a long break was EXACTLY what I needed to come back with fresh eyes. I even got a son of eve run where I didn't have tool slots! If only I wasn't born a white dude, I could have helped more lmao.

#147 Re: Main Forum » To all the people who just cursed Bobby Quant... » 2020-02-11 14:59:00

Our first game that we played me and my partner were led offscreen and insta killed with bow and arrow. It was a little funny the first time but I DON'T miss the insta black screen of death. I think the killing system is fine (until griefers meet and squad up) but otherwise it's alright. I took out a son yesterday when he was on cool down for killing the last fertile woman, nobody joined but I got him easily seeing as he was running slow.

I love the new hats! I love all the dyes! but we can't have a rainbow party quite yet which I would love to do. It would be a morale boost! It might not stop the race wars tho. We can hope!

Remember: gooseberries and onion skin dye can be a thing!

#149 Re: Main Forum » The stages of town development » 2020-02-10 21:02:32

I played two lives today after my extended break and we were definitely at stage five both times(maybe stage four for my first life). I tried to help nonetheless but I ran out of tool slots and had to beg someone to put kindling on our only dying fire and again had NO time to teach much of anything, tried to tell my son how to make shears but couldn't show him due to lack of slots lol!

Plus murders happened in one life where I managed to stay out of it but in my second life my son Jalen picked up a bby (first red flag) told him to drop and he did and said sorry. But then a few minutes later came looking for me with a bow and arrow saying "Mooooommm", I kept noping the fuck out of there and he didn't even get to target me but not too long after targeted our ONLY FERTILE woman and she DIDN'T MOVE out of the way and got shot! I took a gulp of pie, stabbed my son cursed someone for the first time since my break and that was that!

I also complained about always giving birth to a damn killer/kidnapper seeing as it happens SO OFTEN.

I should have taken the arrow in the beginning, then MAYBE someone would have taken him out before targeting the most important person to our survival but I don't know, that's life!

#150 Re: Main Forum » OHOL fanart » 2020-02-10 02:00:06

Even BERRIES can be used for a simpler and already existing ingredient!(plus I like snails, they're cute!) The gooseberries are already purple and we have the crocks for crafting it in!
Berry dye works wonders on wool in this video starting at 3:24; https://youtu.be/UvmC-leoj9U

The orange dye is a conundrum so I looked it up on yt, and lo and behold ONION SKINS! Another natural and existing (animal friendly) dye;

Skip riiiiight to the end to see the results I mean wow!

https://youtu.be/CnL3NlJq_kg


I love the idea of voting on the colour, I love me a more blue-ish purple myself but whatever is the most visually appealing I guess works fine! I'd just be happy for any new colour honestly~

Thanks Morti! Funny enough I've dabbled in very simple animations and silly animated GIFs a few years back but nothing that great tbh, just silly dumb fun smile I should try animating more but I'll stick to the traditional pics for now.
Also, I won't switch to digital when doing ohol fanart seeing as I think it's appreciated here which is cool.
