One Hour One Life Forums

The family tree update is brilliant.  Seeing who came before and what happened to your kids adds depth and a sense of legacy.

there is no combat in the game.  Combat implies a structured system.  There is the ability to use tools against human characters.  Those tools that in a civilized society would be used to harvest, hunt, and or neutralize natures threats. There also may be glitches caused by lag or some other reason that when mastered makes it easier to killed human characters.   

And there is the ability to criticize those who get tired of having their time and money wasted by children to be labeled as "crying" because they don't want to spend their time wasting peoples time and creating stupidity.

and now we have swastikas in the forum, because that must be cool too.  Guess we can ignore them because it's perfectly okay.

JS I agree

It is just that murder is outta balance now......5 villages I was in Murder in 4.

I was in Ducks this morning.

Knives everywhere so it was only time before murder happened.

But then again Ducks is a special place....with a history.....so it seemed okay there.

But overall, with no effective way to moderate murder it overcomes everything in the end.

I laughed when I got knifed this morning in ducks.........it was so stupid and expected I laughed!!!

By The Way.....I made the next group that shows up some compost and I threw the carrot crown out into the swamp.

And thank you Eve Peace.....it was a nice 37 minute life I had.

Jason put the ability to kill in with certain weapons/tools.  But the choice to kill is yours.

It's like real life, you can act out and take violent actions if you choose or you can find non-violent solutions.  Imagine if you choose killing your co-worker cause he took the last donut vs. just finding something else to eat?  Everyday life would become such a joy without penalties for anti-social behavior.

What makes this a game and different is that there are no adverse consequences to the violent minded - only to the non-violent.

In the long run, I believe the non-violent are the majority and they will finally give up on a (game) world filled with senseless, hide behind your computer screen, anti-social, justify any violent action crap filled world.

But then again, Jason let's us kill people so this must be a totally accurate battle simulator (or a kill your grandma over her lottery ticket simulator).

Lineage ban would slow down griefers re appearing in the same village, which would be at least a break in the carnage and a feeling that a character protecting a village at least had some effect.  And it may reduce the non-murder greifer appearances.

A karma push to another (low) server may be productive if it was implemented with a account based tracker that tracked kills per some period of time.  A griefer kills many, a character protecting would seem to kill a limited number.  So your first 2 or 3 kills in a defined time is excused, as the number grows past that you get a trip to hell?

I stopped playing for a week or two, being busy and waiting for updates to be applied.

The level of challenge seems higher, especially as an Eve.  But overall it is more fun, at least for me.

The one constant annoyance I have is the griefing, I especially don't like the senseless murder.
I played 4 lives this weekend, 2 ending in old age.  and murder happened in each village I was in (except the last one).

That and several "family" stories on the forum had tales of murder.

It's all too common.   

Jason appears to be still trying to tackle the issue with karma or something.

It will take a little more time for him to work out the issues.  But given the scope of the game, the limited team etc. it seems reasonable.  After all, the game isn't a topic that has been done over and over, the whole flow of crafting, survival, the encouragement of player driven interaction instead of  pre-boxed "character" models and then mixing them together as overall interactions/mechanics is pretty complex.

As for some of the strong personalities in the forum (Nazi or not) I guess ignoring it is a solution, although difficult at times.  Heh, I deal with selfish dick heads all day and have to keep my composure - so it gets trying here at times, an ignore feature would help.

Have you tried humping the sheep?

We were all new once................
Even the griefers

You used the word " problem" and you pointed to me with "YOU"..........

I actually said it didn't offend me, it just might retard constructive conversation.   

Personally, I find the "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" three monkeys mentality more harmful than "bad jokes"

and i won't even get political by going down the hate speech road..... tempted as I may be, but here I'd rather figure how to live a good hour long life.

Anyways, I have enjoyed Alleria and Joriom's other posts.....no need to argue.
