Wow - I suspect this would be a pretty great update.

I realized in a recent game, that there is a temptation to immediately kill people who are even suspected of being potential griefers.. just so there can be excuse to kill. If killing was a limited resource, it would raise the tension considerably.. You COULD kill this person, but better make sure they're really actually bad.

And even if you make that decision to kill this griefer, you'd probably give them an option - get out of town and never come back, or I'll kill you. You can always kill them right there, but might as well give them the chance to pack their things and leave, and save the kill for another day. 

The threat of a kill would be put to use much more! I think this would heighten the drama and make people less kill happy.

So I'll bet there's fewer hasty kills - so this change is not only good for preventing griefing, but good for those who have been killed eroniously..

Can't forsee any downsides, but it is a major change.. no harm in just throwing it in and seeing how it plays out.

Yeah with 95% of convictions a result of plea deals for fear of getting extended jail time the criminal legal system gets no love from me, but it's an odd thing to focus on protection orders... For women I know who've had to file them, there were some abusive men on the other side.. And all it's saying is you can't go near them, right?

In any case, not sure what any of that has to do with the current topic!

I also want to say, the feeling of mystery about the world is back.. And I love that the wells drying up forces us to explore more.. and finding another town feels miraculous.

I did miss this feeling of wonder than an unlimited world provides.. We could wander endlessly in the world, so when we encounter another person, it's a miracle.

wow this is exciting!

Haven't read all the content here, but how bout it's a tradeoff?

I know I'm capable of eating everything on my plate at all times, but if I overeat, my energy levels go way down. So yeah I won't need to eat again for a while, but I'm not about to run around being productive.. probably just lay on the couch, maybe nap.

So, what if you're slower by a percentage when you over eat?

.. just saw Pein suggesting slowness being something you gain over time. That's interesting too - then you could make a calculated tradeoff.. Thought that might be harder to reason about..

Yeah I kinda like if it just slows you down proportional to your total food capacity how far over you go (perhaps in a curve). Then you'd really regret binging on that pie. Particularly as a little kid! That would teach em..

I trust too - It's why I bought the game, and why I'll buy the next one.

I'm a pretty big mac user these days.. but I've got to admit there's some seriously warning flags about their priorities.

For example, last week I made the decision to upgrade my 2010 Macbook ...to a 2012 Macbook. Their newer stuff has been riddled with keyboard issues, and irreplaceable parts, so that it actually makes sense to make this upgrade (for cores + graphics card).

I will not be upgrading to macOS Catalina.. for as long as is feasible..

By the way, I've never been able to notice any difference between 32 bit and 64 bit apps. Am I right in saying that the only difference is that 64 bit has the access to greater than 4 gigs of ram?  So for any apps that don't need more than 4 gigs of ram, there is no benefit?

Wow.. and It continues on!

This really has been one of the most meaningful games I've played in hindsight. I really see how the Weed family could have died out through my own actions, but instead, the baton was passed on through my effort and my children's effort in my lifetime.

In the past, I only really cared about my immediate family's future after I died, but now that families themselves are precious and scarce, generation survival feels way more personal.

That feels good!

Awesome - when this change comes into affect, people will organize around it - moving from vigilante justice to organized mobs.

Of course, griefers will adapt too, but it will be harder for them and easier for townspeople to organize. Dig it.. lets see how it plays out.

How bout "Welcome to the age of PANIC REVOLT" .. I know we're calling them Arcs, but that's kind of interchangeable with ages right?

Just had a great life that centered all around establishing peace between our group and the neighboring group - it sounds so simple, but it really is an intergenerational effort! The elders aren't usually the people who first meet, and neither are the kids, so this means you have young adults making first contact, kids who do the translating, and then elders who are finally brought into the loop at the very end of the negotiation to seal the deal!

Very pleasing - when after years of trying our elders finally succeeded in calling peace, we had a mighty feast, and there was much dancing. Then the elders died. We buried them and planted a rose by their graves.

Definitely a new experience, and a life worth living!

.. oh something I've noticed though - we're getting a lot of reincarnated people now, there was 3 or 4 in this game, it seemed like more than usual.. I don't really like it when that happens, it breaks the lore of it. Like you're explaining to a grandbaby who this person was and the life they lived and how their memory must be honored, and then some guy walks over to the grave and says "This is me"

Annoying right? I mean it would be in real life too.. I'm trying to tell a story great great great grandpa!!

For myself, one of the big joys of this game is playing sporadically to see how things have changed overtime - so I'd definitely recommend it if you think you might want to experience it through those eyes.

If you're looking for something that has "solved" the griefing experience you had, I suspect it's gotten somewhat better - there are more good players than there are griefers, where as early on, when everyone was still learning, it was hard enough to keep a village surviving, so I can see how griefers were too much.
