Yeah, they probably shouldn't be able to be put in a bag (specifically bloody ones). I mean, I guess it would make for assassin gameplay, but I don't really think that's what he's (or should be) going for.

Edit: On the other hand, after thinking more on it, would this really be an issue? You could put it in your bag; but the guy running into town, bleeding out, telling everyone about how the outsider "john smith" killed him would kind of give it away lol. I was thinking, in my original reply, of a scenario where some gets slashed, and the guy goes into town with his bloody sword hidden away and no one would know that he had killed someone. But after thinking on it, I just find that scenario very unlikely.

Nope, I'm not buying it.  Jason has done nothing about the lineage ban in spite of people informing him that it would persuaded people to play more for their families.  Also, it requires a bucket of water to make a sword, something that only griefers will do.  He knows that water makes for a serious issues.

"Oh, Jason isn't just mindlessly bending to the will of a vocal minority telling him how his game should be made/how I think his game should be made, therefore he isn't really trying". I mean, you've said a lot of stupid shit, but this one I actually feel obligated to comment on. Really not a good look.

@averest

Wow, that post is amazing. I'd really like to see those in game.

@futurebird

Yeah. If he wants this sort of thing to stick, the next thing he should really do is add more models. I said in another post how this stuff doesn't really bother me, but I can definitely see how something like this would get really out of hand (to the point of turning off a great number of people who are more sensitive to this stuff).

I also would just leave languages as they are. I don't really think there needs to be a game mechanic where you can just see what they're actually saying. I like the idea of having to actually LEARN it. "Bog" means "rock", "Jene" means "well", etc. And there's always writing and radios that you can use, those were untouched. Which I really like because it gives the stupid radio much more purpose. It's like a...for lack of a better word, "magical", language converter. Makes the radio kind of kick ass, and not just a novelty.

@ lychee

Yeah, I can agree with that.

@futurebird

LOL, the whole "race wars" thing never really crossed my mind. I think that would be fun, personally. But that's because race isn't a big deal to me. It's not something sacred that needs to be revered. I understand that a lot of people don't share that sentiment and also harbor feelings of resentment and the like. Well, no matter what your view, you can't say it's boring big_smile

#155 Re: Main Forum » The future of OHOL! (GRIEFERS HEAVEN) » 2019-05-11 12:53:42

@lychee

But that's the beautiful thing about this game, you can have both. One game will be all "lovey, family, warm, hope, fuzzy", and the next may be all "dark, bleak, dangerous, exciting/depressing, maybe even gut wrenching". You may even quit from disgust, but you still felt something. That's what this game is meant to do.

The world is sad, but there's also a lot of happiness in it. Way too much that I'd want to say on this, so I'll end it here.

There is no future. Just played a game, and the number of babies has dropped dramatically. I was the only girl, and I didn't get a single baby girl, not even a SIDS one, so my family died out. Looks like people are quitting en masse.

Really? I just played a game with like 20 people in the city. Things seem normal to me. The only thing out of the ordinary is that I stabbed some stupid moo for constantly fucking me up and getting in my way my whole life. They never said anything when I tried to talk to them, so they probably didn't speak English. Not sorry.

#157 Re: Main Forum » Twin Eves don't speak the same language btw. » 2019-05-11 12:44:53

I personally enjoy that change. Besides, you'll probably be in discord with your twin anyway.

#158 Re: Main Forum » Is there any intention to scale back the difficulty? » 2019-05-11 12:42:36

It's not really difficult, unless you consider memorization difficult. It's mostly just a matter of practice. I personally believe there's a way to make the game more balanced to where there's not one single "optimal", "meta" way to play, but it's really hard. Especially with stuff constantly being added. I feel like all the fine tuning to make it perfectly balanced would be better served at the end when stuff isn't being added anymore.

On the other hand, Jason has stated in the past that he likes that some things are not good. Like that dogs are pretty much worthless, he finds that stuff interesting. I'm sure he was happy to have potatoes continue to be an actual detriment until the end of time, but the community probably complained enough for him to rethink it. I'm fairly certain Jason has no interest in making this game perfectly balanced to where everything is viable, he would probably think that uninteresting.

I think that it's not necessarily a matter of if it's good for the game. As long as the gameplay is fun, I think it can work just fine.

Hey DaTrüf! I want to share a story with you.

I was one of Eve Datri's kids a couple weeks back.  There was a twin Eve, which always raises an eyebrow for me, but it seemed like a pretty standard Eve camp otherwise;  everyone working well, no weird shenanigans.  Then one guy bows you out of nowhere, saying "go grief somewhere else".  You protest your innocence and die.  I ask the dude what the hell, and the reponse is "he's a known griefer on the forums".  I didn't feel good about that, since as far as I could tell nothing was going wrong, but I'm not about to continue the drama train.  So i let it go and lead a fairly uneventful life from there.

LOL, I was there too. I think I was one of his grand kids. I was born in as soon as he was shot. It never registered for me that it was DaTruf until I was the last member of the line alive, being all dramatic (I was in one of my rare role playing moods) saying stuff like "The noble Datri line perishes with me, farewell my adopted family", and stuff like that. Spoonwood happened to be there too, as a member of the other line, and told me to be careful of what I say. I asked him why, and he said that Eve Datri made a pit bull griefing post. It all hit me and I started bursting out laughing.

It was a pretty memorable experience and it's very interesting to hear someone else recount the story. Not sure why I posted this, other than just feeling like it.



Although I will say, my best advice to you, DaTruf, would be just pick a different eve name. Probably change discord profile and get a new forum account, if you really want people to stop treating you as a griefer. Because, for my money, that's the only way it's going to happen. No one is buying your apology and excuses, and I very seriously doubt anyone ever will.

I really can't fathom why you're so insistent on clearing your name. Everyone knows you are a griefer and I don't see how you fool everyone into thinking otherwise. Even if you did clean up your act, admit your wrong doings, offer a sincere apology, and do all the right steps to clearing your name; I can't ever see more than, at most, half of the community believing you, and that's being generous. I'm just growing tired of seeing this routine of posting about how you're the victim, only to be barraged by people calling bullshit.

#161 Re: Main Forum » Improving the Wiki » 2019-05-10 11:54:20

Huh, never seen anyone else say "hiya". Thought it was only my thing hmm


Also, this would be a continuous job because the game changes every week. Probably why it's been so neglected. If you want to be the one to take this job, then thank you for your efforts.

#162 Re: Main Forum » Lychee's Mega Suggestion Thread (On Trade, Technology, and More) » 2019-05-10 09:17:05

I feel like that thing Jason said a while back about changing the time a fence takes to become rickety to an hour would help (I'd leave the duration of rickety fences alone).

I find that a lot of people put their properties pretty far away from town, which makes them much easier to forget about.

Yep, I've seen this a few times too.

#165 Re: Main Forum » [Trade] Different ethnicities have unique recipes. » 2019-05-10 08:48:50

Ah, was confusing the ethnicity and race, my bad. I read ethnicity and thought you were talking about race, probably because race (skin and hair color) is all we have at the moment. I'm not sure you can physically portray ethnicity. Once you make it something you can physically see, wouldn't that make it a race? I guess you could do different accessories to show what ethnicity you are. It wouldn't be something you could take off or put on, it'd be a part of the character model.

Also I'm a little confused. You said you don't like the idea of ethnic specific recipes? Wasn't that what the whole OP in favor of? "Create ethnic specific recipes to incentivize (force) trade", or did I misunderstand it.

#166 Re: Main Forum » [Trade] Different ethnicities have unique recipes. » 2019-05-09 23:46:35

I'm really, really against crafting restrictions. Not only is it a massive can of worms, but it's not fun having parts of the game permanently cut off just to try and shoe horn trading in. Ultimately, it is your game; but I feel like that would be a bad look.

Maybe just crafting bonuses? Make it feel more like a reward for being being a swamp person, rather than a punishment for not being one. But then the game would probably have to be balanced around that (less rabbit spawns because prairie people get two furs per rabbit, and stuff like that).

If it's on the plate it won't be visible for quite a few bites!

That's the thing, you wont need it until those bites are gone. That's why I suggested messing with the cuts, if absolutely necessary. You wont need to see the plate if one bite is missing, you can still tell what pie it is. The only time you'd need help is when the pie has one bite left (or maybe half). I refer you back to the first part of my last suggestion.

Hmm...Wouldn't it just look like it was written on the plate? If I saw a letter on the plate, I'd assume it was written on there. Not sure what you mean by floating.

I guess there is no reason to make brother sister marriage role play impossible. It's creepy IMO. But, so is murder and child labor.

lol, yeah. Also, I'd just like to point out that there are people that are of the opinion that homosexuality is creepy. Personally me, it doesn't bother me as long as it's two consenting adults.

Although this has me thinking more and more how interesting it would be to have marriage in game. I'm against marriage in general, so I wonder if I'd ever do it (if it wasn't a gameplay requirement).

Fertility boost because you've now added gene diversity, having children with your sister is always going to cause problems, if you even get so far as to have a living child come from the union.

Hmmm, now that's some logic I can get behind. Although I wouldn't go so far as to take away the option (same thing for same sex), but just don't give the fertility bonus (again, same for the same sex marriage).

Is your immersion broken when you see an "S" on a bucket of salt water?

Which reminds me, what the hell is that thing on the seed bowls supposed to even be? It looks like an "O", but why?

Still resets if you /die in her arms like it always did.

/die wasn't a thing when I played back then. But that's good to know. I didn't know any of this, so thanks for the information.

Seems arbitrary...hmmm, wait. If it's supposed to be a fertility boost, why does gender not matter? Seems like it'd be essential?

Edit: ahhh, read further. Nevermind on the gender thing.
