One Hour One Life Forums

I mean there's multiple reasons why we don't have any real fighting in this game.

-In the current game you have zero idea who murdered your sister/brother/mother until they died. In the old days before the lineage ban if someone murdered them they likely returned and would tell you who just killed them. I have a very clear memory of my family living in Ovenpost and when a young girl game from a neighboring village asking for supplies we just ended stabbing her for begging our family for stuff. When she was reborn to our camp I explicitly remember hearing baby speak T-A-R-R B-A-D. She then led bears to the city and killed herself. She was then reborn to her home village where her lineage came over with weapons and fighting broke out in Ovenpost. You can't have conflict if no one knows.

-You have zero idea where anyone is in relation to your camp/city/village. Ducks had two different sister cities and that place was constantly griefing/stabbing/murder for hours. A combination of people knowing where the three cities were in relation to each other, being born to the different cities to return to the ensuing conflict, and the bad reputation of the city led to tons of violence all around. How can you have war or fighting in a game when you never know where anyone else is? I can guess where other towns are in relation to a bell or a day later check in the lifelogs but by the time I know where people are it's much much too late.

-The only permanence in this game is the towns we have and those only last so long before being completely lost. Why would you ever care about a family if you both know the surname is likely to be lost in a few hours after you play and a few hours after that the lineage is likely to just be dead. We can't even get a lineage to last longer than two days without it being wiped out to griefers/rng/sids so it's hard to really care about a family unlike a town which you might come back around to visit within the week before it gets culled. We have no reason to work against other players in this game and in fact doing so just hinders both parties so why fight besides for roleplay or fun?

In the case of walled cities we don't generally build them because they're deathtraps. I've done a private city on the public server with a small group of players and while that works with coordinated players inviting in others just leads to chaos. Having an Eve find the unlocked city and watching how they haphazardly started to build (bushes were outside of the walls away from our diesel engine, ovens were everywhere, cow pen was dismantled along with sheep pen, half of a house inside a WALLED city, etc) you sort of wonder what or if some of these players are even thinking. You can leave a perfect blueprint for future generations to follow but unless you are there to see the project to finish you can and should expect people to mess it up.   

In the current system the fighting is very one sided as most players aren't going to be expecting to have to deal with the roaming griefing parties, and especially not when they're their own blood.

Have you tried logging into a more populated server?
