One Hour One Life Forums

Hi! Gen 24 here and the town was still going strong when my life ended. My only regret is that I died before I was able to set up the obligatory filthy sign that every big town has. I made the sign and got all the letters and even the lock but died before I could put it together. Such a shame! Hopefully some other dirty minded heathen will find my stash and make use of it.

Any chance an iPhone 4S might be good enough? I'd love to test but that's all I've got for iOS. I can test Android when that's ready though!

Edit: Derp, apparently I have an iPhone 6 that I thought was a 4S. Could have sworn it was a lot older than that! Anyway I'd love to test and will be sending you a PM with my email.

This is exactly how I'm feeling lately. Fading enthusiasm.

Confession time, I don't really enjoy playing in big towns. All of the jobs are taken and if I do find a job that isn't taken, some kid will inevitably come by and start taking over my job. I will usually kill myself (unless I'm a girl and they're low on females) since I prefer to play in eve camps or younger villages where I can actually make a meaningful contribution. I think this is why I didn't see the murder problem for a very very long time because people weren't griefing eve camps when I started. I heard the complaints on the forums but I had only been murdered myself maybe three times in the first two months or so that I played the game.

After the lineage ban though (don't get me wrong I love the lineage ban, it's not the real problem!) I find that maybe 1/3 of the small camps I play in has a griefer. I'm not talking about the obvious newbies who don't really know how to help yet, I'm talking about the kid who sprints off to make a bow as soon as they're born, the one who purposefully runs on top of the iron that I'm trying to forge and laughs at me while I ask him to move, the one who takes the critical supplies and hides them then comes back and eats all of our food, the one who murders my entire family then brags about it and includes his forum name in his last words http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=165354 .

I'm really tired of hearing the 'lol make a weapon u scrub' argument because it's not that simple. The professional griefers run around like crazy, I even encountered one once who was lagging all over the place and impossible to hit though he seemed to have no problem killing other people. They pick up babies and use them as shields so if you try to kill them you hurt the innocent baby. It's very easy to kill an innocent player who doesn't see it coming. It's a lot harder to kill a griefer who knows everyone wants them dead and is going to do anything and everything to avoid death so he can keep griefing.

These people aren't interested in playing this game, not really. And because of that there is never going to be an in game solution that will solve the problem. You can heal their victims, you can find your stuff, you might even manage to kill the griefer but they will just go pick on some other town or, more likely because of the lineage ban, they'll go grief some eve camp. It's never going to stop happening until these players are either outright banned from the game or banished to a griefers only server where they can kill each other all day.

I'm pretty sure that I lived in that village that you're talking about yesterday. If I remember right, the griefer made the bow themselves and then there was no more milkweed in that biome so we couldn't make a second. I left to find a different green biome with more but by the time I finally got back with a weapon, she had already killed the other young women, then gone AFK and starved to death. This has been happening a lot more often lately, or maybe I've been having terrible luck. I was in two small civs that had griefers yesterday and today, two eve camps with murderers. Seriously, how pathetic do you have to be to grief an eve camp!? I guess we should all start making bows as eves now rather than planting the farm or making tools?

I know that this topic has been talked to death but unfortunately it's really kind of an impossible situation. There is absolutely no way for the game to distinguish a griefer from a person who's defending the town. Honestly I think the only way to really stop the griefing is if the players stopped being anonymous, but that's not likely to go over very well at all.

Anyway, like I was sayin', stew is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's stew-kabobs, stew creole, stew gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple stew, lemon stew, coconut stew, pepper stew, stew soup, stew stew, stew salad, stew and potatoes, stew burger, stew sandwich. That’s about it.

Ah that explains it. Thanks for clarifying!

Hahaha!! Man I got a real good laugh out of that one. I've done the same thing myself but at least when I did it there weren't any witnesses!

Hello, distant ancestor! You never knew me, but I was Dan the town guard. I spawned in your town 9 generations after you. I'm happy to report that the town is still going strong, the berry farm is massive and almost everyone that I met there was a good hard worker. I really enjoyed reading your story, I had no idea that we came so close to being destroyed! Thanks for not letting the bad guy win!

To my daughter, Destiny rose. I'm so sorry that I died before being able to show you to that farm, but I wanted to share my story with you. I was your mother, Sixto Rose (named six by my mother since I was her sixth child and the last she would keep) I was born into a new but thriving family with a large farm living in the swamp. Unfortunately, I realized very quickly that everyone in my family was terrible. Before I was even a year old, I saw my uncle Walter murder my niece with a bow. She hadn't done anything wrong that I could see, she was farming and helping out our family. My sister kept having children that she would abandon or let my uncle murder. I understand not being able to keep every child, but I hated the awful things she would say to them before leaving them, and the way she laughed after my brother shot them. My mother seemed like a good person but I didn't see much of her. My uncle hated her deeply and threatened her whenever she came near so she wisely kept her distance.

I knew that I was too young to make it far on my own, so I played along with my horrible sister and uncle, laughing at their kills and agreeing when my uncle called my mother horrible names. He told me that he would give me his bow and allow me to kill her when I was old enough. He was true to his word, handing me his bow and even making me a new arrow as soon as I was big enough to wield it. I betrayed him instantly, shooting my horrible sister instead. "That was for my brothers!" I told her before taking the bow and running as fast as I could and as far as I could, before my uncle had a chance to retaliate. He was old now and I knew that I would be able to return one day if I could only be patient. He had been the only person left in the village at this point, my plan was to wait for his death and then return to that village with my children.

I had two girls of my own shortly after leaving my home. Unfortunately, I hadn't set a home marker before I left and when I tried to return with the two of you, I wasn't able to find it. I left you in a good location when you were old enough to fend for yourself and set out to find it, and I did! It was abandoned, sure enough, but the tools were still there and there were even plenty of carrots left. I ran back to where I had left you and was relieved to find you safe. We set out for home at once. Unfortunately I was killed by a wolf before I was able to give you directions on how to get there. I suppose I deserved that in a way for murdering my sister, but I would do it all over again if I had the chance. I'm so sorry that I let you down, Destiny, I hope you were able to start a new settlement with a family of your own. You were the best, most patient child I could have asked for and I regret not having had more time to spend with you.
