If you wanted to build further different ranks could then also name people

e.g.
Praiseworthy = can name a watchman.
Extolled = can name two guards.
Great = can name three soldiers.
Magnficent = can name four knights.
Queen = can name a general and five royal guards.

Maybe there should be some point system on what you do.

Every productive thing raises your karma one point i.e. harvest, plant, water, chop, craft. Etc.

Every thing you eat past the age of say 5 lowers your karma one point. Murder is a big hit.

So, in your life, you'd want to come out more productive than harmful. To help new players, perhaps karma doesn't kick in till your 20th life say?

Oh that's not true. A really nice mum on my first day showed me how to make a home marker. That was really sweet I tried to show another new player later, but I got eaten by a bear while trying to show them to use the round rock not the sharp one

As a fairly new player, I'm finding it an incredibly steep learning curve. It's not a game I can come to to relax. I am trying. I've learned a few things. I had one life with a mum who was a really great smith. I tried to watch her without interfering, but she was so quick I couldn't get the hang of what she was doing, and then I felt bad because I couldn't pick it up. I do feel this game is such a rush, it almost punishes you for doing absolutely anything except constantly try to look for water and carrot seeds. I've never yet had a game where I haven't felt bad for taking up resources trying to learn something new. It does put me off playing cause, I don't want to just spent the game forever water and carrot seed running.

Big productive farms never seem to support more than about 4 people. The food always goes out of balance and massive starvation follows. The only succesful farm I've seen with no probs so far was me, a son, and my mum alone, farming into our twighlight years to die out by old age.

My name was Griffin. My mother set up a beautiful civilization - but alas all the baby girls ran off and died, so I was her only son. We set up a great farm. When she died I continued to farm and made my first ever set of clothes. We left baskets of food, my set of clothes, seeds, pots, string and meat. I hope one day someone finds our beautiful farm. It was the very first time I died of old age.

To my lovely family. It was me mum and sis for so long, but we grew to a big happy family. We got lots of rope and were even bringing in the rabbits. The last thing I did was show one of my great nieces were the far away seeds were before I died of hunger age 57. Hope you made it back ok and avoided the bear! Hopefully sometime we might find some new seeds.

I try and give everyone a chance. The only situation I can see where it would be fair to kill the boys, is an Eve who can only support one baby and has a boy and a girl. The girl is needed to continue the civilisation.

I spawned in one fairly advanced civ where they were sacrificing all the boys. Seemed to just be for the giggles. So yes, crime. My lovely mum called me Rex and saved me from the baby killers.

So far I've always, at least tried, to support any children I have, though sometimes it's close to impossible and the attempt is short lived.

Well I reached 37 Had about 20 odd kids lol.

Hehe, reached 17 and starved with my first kid. Oops.

Hum. Perhaps there should be less chance of successful kills particularly with lower grade weapons? I mean short of a Stewie and Lois type situations, if we're trying to be realistic, how many children really go round murdering their mothers on a regular basis. It's silly.

Lower chance of kill? - Like 10% chance of a critical kill hit, the others just reduce your health or slow you down for the next 10 mins? Most people wouldn't die from a stone knife stab unless it hit a major vein or gut I'd guess.
Opportunities to heal? Plants and herbalists who can save you if you get to them within a minute.

Ways to repair non murder griefer damage -
Someone who overeats too quickly throws up and loses health.
Ways to nurture baby animals from healthy nests to repopulate abandoned ones.
Chance of rain to fill up empty ponds.
Wind blown seeds that have a chance of being blown in from afar to bring in plants wiped out in the local area.

If reality the world may not heal itself quick enough to recover in a generation, but it always does, even if years after the civilisation is gone. The Earth is very good at recoving from devastation in real life on the geological scale.

Play the way you'd like people to play with you, or move on and find something more enjoyable. That's what I'll do.

Games should only be played as long as they're fun. Otherwise they're work.

I'm not sure yet exactly how the private servers work either. Might look into them.

Honestly a lot of losers probably start out thinking oh well what the heck, or what's the point. There's lots of ways they can rationalise being a*holes to themselves so they don't actually have to deal with it. I have no sympathy for someone who says there's a problem, I'm bleeding, then stab themselves to make it better.

People who do that deserve to be left with no one to play with. Developers who can't address issues like that deserve to be left with no players.
