That's exactly what I have been saying, you are so focused on the whole that you neglect inexperienced players, then get annoyed or frustrated at them for not knowing basic shit. You need more patience, and more long term thinking. If we start caring more for inexperienced players and teaching them even the most basic and banal things, then the average skill increases for everyone and you are less likely to have a "useless" baby. In a way, you yourself are being a bit lazy in a way by relying on other players to teach these new players for you so you don't have to. I know that's a stretch, but since that is a large part of the game, I think it's applicable.
You seem to pat yourself on the back a lot for how much you know and how easy to can do X or Y too... In the end, nothing you do will matter if you don't leave anyone with the skills to keep it going. Because once you are gone, you will have to rely on those you left behind to carry on, and if you didn't bother with them because they aren't pro enough, then that village will probably die out sooner than later.

I get pretty attached to most of my kids, always a tearful goodbye or upsetting when I see one die. The more I care about my children, the harder some of them seem to work and often they come by to see how I am doing and that's nice.

Your whole post really, but that part stood out to me. Helping experienced players doesn't reallu help anyone... because they aren't the one in need of help... In other posts I've seen you whinge about people not working or contributing, but to be fair, players like you may be contributing to the lack of experienced players.

XD Pretty much.

A lot of your stories, pein involve you killing people... interesting...

Anyway, yeah, OP. The game can be very daunting and intimidating at first. It can be really frustrating when no one has the time to teach you things but everyone expects you to know anyway. I too thought the point of the game was teaching other players, but most people are too concerned with their precious projects and activities. I have even had some players just tell me to look at the wiki, but where is the fun in that...
I try my best to teach my kids things when I'm an Eve, but usually we need to be constantly working to make sure there is food. My problem is I don't usually know what to start with. Baskets are good, and teaching kids to farm makes things easier for everyone, but you need so many other things. My proudest moment was teaching my kid how to make a fire from scratch and then seeing them do it much later with no real problems. But I was lucky then, this was when things were a bit easier and I wasn't have a baby every minute. So I didn't feel as rushed and constantly starved.

I have seen several people abandon babies or refuse to feed any that admitted they were new. It was a bit awful. Sometimes I adopt them and try my best to help them, sometimes people try and kill me because of it. Jerks.

I never abandon kids. I won't chase you if you run off though. Even as an Eve I will raise every baby. I can usually start a camp, but I then rely on my children to get it going and expand it while I'm raising more kids, usually run off a bit further so there are still plenty of natural berries around camp. It usually works well except for when you have too many new players. I try and teach but they never remember to keep food on them when exploring.
If a town tells me to abandon or kill my children, I will often just leave that place, sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. Been a few times where I was like "Fuck this place, come on, kids. Let's make our own town, with blackjack and hookers".

We didn't have a last name unfortunately, but we had a town sign "FUCK" XD
My mother, Lulu. You were very nice, you took over as baker and I went off to farm. Our carrot farm was only 3 plots despite this large town. I kept the farm going, and with the help of some family, such as Ariel my cousin, we grew that farm much bigger. Some other family members often stopped by asking if I needed help and getting me more soil and water. We had a large berry farm, large sheep pen with lots of sheep. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I miss you all.
My grandmother passed down her backpack with a knife, telling me it was my turn to keep it safe. I accepted and kept farming.
I wasn't having any children and I found that a bit concerning. I had been of age for quite some time. Then eventually I had two daughters within seconds of each other. Summer and Spring. I'm sorry I wasn't able to spend more time with you, but you guys got straight to work and ran off, very proud.
Unfortunately, my life was prematurely cut short but one of my cousins. She shot me. Spring, I couldn't get my knife out, but I hope you were able to get it quickly enough to avenge me and keep the town safe. I loved you all.

It's sort of amazing and sad how many people are like this. So murder-happy. Like an itch that constantly needs scratching and any excuse will do.

I think it could be true. It explains the amount of Eve abandonment, but also the lack of care or teaching because these people feel that there simply isn't time. So in that case some kids might grow up with a chip on their shoulder and feel unwelcome. Still a large step to murder but they are probably bored and unloved. Once your camp is a bit rich it becomes easier to make/get weapons to kill someone, otherwise all you can really do is abandon babies as a way to kill anyone.

Oh boy.

I never said you have to leave, I suggested it, since you are clearly not enjoying the game. It's what any reasonable person would do...
You're having a tantrum and taking it out on other players, most of which probably don't deserve it.

And you're not going to stop, can you at least stop using ampersands in place of 'and'?

Seems like 90% of what you do is suicide, so yeah... not really sure what you expect to happen.
