Sharing this old story of mine from this post because it fits this thread so well :

In one of my life's, I was Sadey, an humble farmer. While I was farming I noticed an abandoned boy by the fire. He said "F", and only I could hear him. So I rushed to him to feed him a carrot. He thanked me. I asked if his mom was dead, he said "No". I continued my farming, always checking on him but sure enough, his mom came back.

I said I had saved the kid but she had something else on her mind ! "No soil ! We are gonna die !". Suddently I remembered her, that kid that panicked about the soil all the damn time, haha. I said "It's gonna be ok. Don't be too dramatic !". I made her and my nephew laugh. He was in good hands, so I want back to farming. Soon enough a kid came too talk with me : "Uncle. You saved me". "I did !" I responded "Make me proud !". Later he came back with a pie fresh out of the oven : "For you uncle. Taste it". My heart melted. I tasted the pie and said it was delicious. He seemed so glad I liked it. He didn't have a name so I kept calling him kiddo.

But, my time was running out. I warned my dear nephew "I'm gonna die". He said "Don't be too dramatic" and then winked at me. He made me laugh. What a good kiddo. I continued the farming but soon it was too dangerous to continue. Before I died I saw that soil was being brought to the camp, it warmed my heart to know that I had been right.

My nephew sang to me before I died. It was so peaceful.

It was hard finding him in the family tree, since he was not my kid and nameless. But when I did, I nearly shed a tear.

kiddo

I was born in a town that didn't have any sheep. I wanted to start making compost so I told everyone I will make a sheep pen. My mom was pretty proud of me for being an ambitious 4 year old. I went for clay to make adobe. As I was lining up more and more adobe a kid joined me and without talking much, brought more adobe. A tree was blocking the way but we had an axe, so I cut it. I couldn't get rid of the stump, so I said to the kid "We need a shovel", he said "Then go make it", I didn't like his tone so I said "Hey YOU go make it". He said fine, but I felt bad so I ran to the forge and demanded one. A young girl responded with "!!!!!" and I took that as a yes. More and more kiddos where helping with the pen, it felt great. When I went back to the forge, still no shovel ! I screamed "Maaa shovel" and an old lady snapped at me "Don't shout at the smith!". I apologized and a kind smith made me one immediately.

With the stump cleared, the adobe bases set up and a fresh bowl of berries and carrots, I thought the pen was ready. I said to the kid who was helping me "I'm gonna make you a bow and you're gonna go find us a sheep". He said fine, but a woman showed us where to find a bow and arrow already made. Maybe by her, seeing that we were working on a pen! I was going to give it to him but then I thought : hm, this guy is naked. I had a backpack, a jacket and a home marker. I was better suited for the role even if I was getting old.

So I ran and found a moufflon, I killed him, left my bow and arrow and took back his lamb. I put it in my pen, fed him, so proud of myself... then he ran away. Remember when I said I "thought" the pen was ready ? Well even if I saw adobe pen usually have berry bushes at the corners, I didn't make some, because I'm stupid and thought sheep could only go up and down. I got back with the bow and arrow to see that kids were helping and made the berry bushes. I think in the end, it worked out and I was happy. I didn't know for sure because I lagged pretty bad and my game crashed.

So I looked up the family tree, maybe I'll get some clues about how my sheep pen was working out.

Only found one :
bad pen

Well feck you then ! My own daughter !

I talk so much about this game that a friend of mine bought it and I just had a my first lesson with him on an unofficial server. It was so much fun ! I only told him how to start a camp (kiln, bowls, berries) but we plan on doing it again for the rest smile

I was Mina Stone (the old lady who gave her grandson stuff, I was also in some of your other screenshots lol), Jade was my daughter, Masa my granddaughter and my grandson was Amy (think he was the kid who got your stuff). I remember seeing you give Jade (and Amy) stuff and I also think I stopped and said thank you.
It was a wild life, but the town was nice and pretty functioning, I’m glad you got to capture it!

Thank you so much for giving me my favorite screenshot ever! I don't remember you saying thank you but I was probably too mad at Jade, ahah. And I'm really surprised you weren't a twin, there was a lady who looked exactly like you and had the same age but she wasn't even your sister, so weird.
And yes, I made it depressing a bit at the end but I really loved that town, it was nice to work here!

I really enjoyed this! It shows how getting to know people is a fun part of the game. And it’s always nice when someone who seems rude at first turns out to be nice.

Thank you ! And yeah it's my favorite one so far. I love meeting new personalities like this.

don't till one soil, it's like a spit in the others face
use  2 soil to till

For people who don't know why, what he means is that, you can use two bowls of soil and one hoe use instead of one bowl of soil and two hoe uses. It's more efficient iron-wise, since you can make compost, but there's no way to make iron. You could also use a hoe on 3 bowls of soil (one basket), but that's a waste since you only need 2 bowls.

Yeah I know that, but we had enough hoes (I think about 3) and not that much compost. AND I was lazy haha

Nice story.

"A nice, well organised one just like my town."

What do you mean by 'like my town'?  Do you have a town on a low-pop server or were you Eve on the bigserver recently and that's the town you speak of?

Thanks ! And I meant the town I was born in, Violet City. I like my stories to be immersive and I don't make references to things outside of the game.

What do you mean you tried, you aced everything ! And yeah, I didn't think we where only gen 3 either, this town was weird.

Sorry for the hijack, it's a nice story, OP.

Thanks for the feed back, really liked doing it. And don't apologise, what you both said is actually quite interresting and useful. I never think about prioritizing warmth. I always tries to put berries the closest to water to make sure it's truly the easiest job like it's supposed to be. Or else kiddos might quit doing it and the town is dead.
There was a biiiiiig space right above the forge (still in the jungle) and I guess next time it's like this I'll do the farm here, haha.

Sucks for the griefers but 16 gen isn’t bad !

You are welcome, I’m happy you saw what happened to your town a litlle after you died.

Maybe Billie really was just confused about which items to pull from her backpack. Maybe she's just misunderstood. Maybe she meant no harm to Hope. After all, she raised Hope's brothers to adulthood, didn't she? But after I saw how she acted towards her nameless son, I sure as hell wasn't taking any chances.

Thank you so much for responding and for all this details. I'm sorry for your troubled childhood !

It's not easy to realize your kid is dangerous. It's your kid. People have a habit of loving their kids no matter what. I know whenever I have kids in this game, I will love them and rarely wonder if they're being weird or dangerous. It's just how it is. This is only Billie's fault, don't try to put the blame on her victims.
(Also, yes pein, please do chill.)

I think I draw the line when my kid starts murdering people or acting like a brat. They aren't your real children, after all, Just a random person in another part of the world.

How can you truly know someone that you've met less than an hour ago?

Welp, I agree with both of you. But when the kids are loving and cute, I love them. When they don't want to speak to me or don't listen to me, I usually tell them to go die or feel suspicous. Despite some weirdness Billie showed me that she loved me, she loved her brother, she loved her kids, and knew how to work and help people.

Thanks for your reply. But actually, I wouldn't mind that much ! I just had a succession of so many boring lifes, without story, without connections, that she was kind of refreshing. She was more of the roleplaying killer type than the griefer type. It could have ruined the game for others who don't play for stories but that's not my case, so it's fine !

at least make sure its decent, jsut because its related by game rule, doesn mean is any decent
can be afk, bot, lazy sponge, griefer
why cant you just give gear to the ones already working?

Dude, chill. Everyone had clothes, that’s why I gave him stuff. And if they didn’t have clothes, there was plenty in the town so that was on them. And Billie clearly didn’t killed him because he was bad, she just wanted to kill people. You would have undestand that if you read the post, do that before ranting for nothing next time.

In a life yesterday, I was born in an advanced town with the West family. I'm gonna pass on my childhood as it was kind of boring.

The story begin at this time were I was hunting rabbits and my daughter Billie was born.

Billie's birth

She was kinda creepy when we came back in town, she saw her great Grandma and wouldn't stop saying hello to her until she respond. I even had to tell her to stop harrassing her.

Billie's harrassement

She really seemed sweet anyway and helped around. So I wouldn't mind. I had an other kid and he was a little weird.

Son Box

He would open close open close open close open close the chests while everyone was laughing at him. I tried to make him stop by taking him to another place but he came back to do his thing. I couldn't even name him because of this! I accepted his weirdness and laughed along, he was cute in is own way.

I dressed him with his great Grandma clothes but Billie came along and wouldn't stop rambling nonsense to me. I finally understood that the Grandma had planned on leaving her clothes to her.

Billie's clothes

Now, I already gave Billie some clothes so I didn't know why she was insisting. I guess my kids were both a bit challenged...

Later, I had the goal to hunt a wolf to make a cool hat for myself. Running around I stumbled upon a gory scene.

Billie's murder

She had killed her brother ! I was in shock, I couldn't understand...

Billie's lies

She explained to me that he wanted to die. And of course, I believed her at the time. The kid was a little insane since birth after all. It's after my death that it became interesting. I looked up his last words and my jaw nearly dropped :

Son's last words

That's not really the last words of someone willing to die, huh ?

After a while, I was becoming old. So I went to ask her if she had any girls. Oh and you can see I had decided to leave her my cool wolf hat as a memory. Pffcht.

Two sons

I advised her to stay warm and fed for good luck. She went by the fire and prayed all her heart to save our town from extinction, I thought. At first.

A victim

When I rewatched my screenshots, I actually saw what she was saying. She was praying not for a daughter, but for another victim !

Where's Billie

She went away for a while. I looked everywhere for her with no luck. But then, she was back ! With a girl ! She named her Hope (a bit cliche but, heh).

Billie and Hope

I was relieved, but Hope started running away !

Billie's escape

We don't see it in the screens, but everytime Billie would reach Hope, she picked her knife. I was in a rush and without suspicions against her, so I initially thought she wanted to grab food and picked the wrong stuff.

I was conviced the baby saw she was the last girl and wanted to grief.
 We doomed
Doomed

We lost her sight and now it was too late. Billie was too old, I was going too die, Lason (her son) was waiting to die... Billie seemed sad and I was sad for her.

This the last thing I heard her say :

Tasty Daughter ?

And what the hell, haha. She was probably talking about Hope.

I died, and waited sometime before checking the family tree. And Hope wasn't there. Was she bugged ? I thought it was weird that she could survive this long, even tho Billie picked her up a few times when she was chasing her. Then I saw this :

Sons

When I first noticed the murders I wasn't really bothered. Lason wanted to die and we were probably doomed. But Max tried to curse her ? The same Max that was with her when she killed her brother ? So weird.

Finally, Hope appeared in the family tree !

Hope

An old Hope ! With many kids :

Hope's kids

So she didn't want to doom us. That was Billie's goal, she was the griefer. And Hope escaping was a good thing.

What the hell Billie ! I gave you my cool hat !
