Just got back into your game. Going to learn everything and all the updates and be the best player ever. Hope you do finish the game. It's amazing, that's why everyone always complaining. It's addicting. Hope project December works out for you. It sounds fun but I like oHoL a ton. Bought it when it first became available.

You clearly haven't been caught up to speed yet.

Leave your biome band so you dont have babies as a woman. Stay in town as a male to keep your relatives alive. Dont waste food on afks, unless you're a meme score wh***. Just let them die. Families with the least amount of females get a fertility boost so its almost impossible for them to die out naturally like they used to.

There are a lot of ways to meta play. Most of them I hate and are a big reason I left.

Best meta is to try and have fun the best you can.

Teching is probably the most important part of the game. Specifically drilling oil with an engine. Farms often get neglected though and water runs out quickly. Collecting water from ponds in buckets and using wild soil is a good way to stretch resources. Race restrictions get in the way of a lot of tech and development so until you get your feet under yourself again I suggest focusing on stability oriented things like food, farming, cothes, firewood, and nursery building.

Pine trees dont take hungry work.

How long ago did you play last?

It genuinely depends on how many people you pissed off for how long you end up there. The last person who asked/complained about it had gathered a load of 19 curses total- over double what you need to be sent to Donkey Town in the first place lmao. Yes, it's gonna take awhile to work off that many curses.

Its no different than jailtime. The worse the crime, the longer you're sentenced. Just be thankful it's not worse- Jason has a code he considered implementing where Donkeytown tracks your total curse score across all servers. The more total curses you have, the longer you have to play to work off a single curse. Wouldn't that be fun!

Whyd ya post it three times!?

TL;DR Didn't look for consequences to my actions, just did wtf I wanted then cried about it later on forums.

I agree that there should be a cap on curses, because at the moment it is theorically possible to be cursed to the point of having to spend 100 hours in donkeytown

How long in purgatory is too long for the one who kills a thriving, peaceful village?

Curses are limited. You can't just go around sentencing people to time in Donkey Town. You get one in your life, so don't spend it frivolously.

I realize your post is intended to be hyperbole, Dodge, but let's assume it is factual. In order to get 100 hours in Donkey Town, you would need to accumulate a minimum of 93 curses in a single life assuming you had just returned from exile. That's a TON of curses. It would need a major city, with an organized news guild, to arrange that kind of curseload... so yeah, if you were to get that, you'd probably deserve it.

It's pretty simple. Curses follow you. If you get 8 or more, you go to Donkey Town. Each hour in DT burns off 1 hour of curses. Once you get down below 8 points, you can rejoin society. I'm not sure if time spent in society without accumulating curses burns off curse time, but I'd think it should.

That being said... perhaps a /cursetime command could be implemented, allowing you to see how many curse points you have remaining. Maybe it could even be phrased in terms of how many game years you have left in limbo.
