One Hour One Life Forums

Completely agree, even an extra five seconds before they run would make them a lot more usable.    I hate when I realize I just doubled the time to do a task because I ended up running after the horse too often.  And the "Is the baby going to stay?" moment when I am out in the wild on my horse is a bit crazy intense when the horse is going to run in a few seconds.

st, yes.  If you use more than twenty, you are put on a minute long cooldown.

I miss my flutter hearts... /love, /happy back and forth.

Hmm, I yum a fair bit now, but if there was a speed bonus for how much yum you have??? OMG, I would be obsessed with yumming.

I like carting things around town to get them to places they are useful.  Movement speed is life!

To my son, Enver Freedman,

I'm sorry I left so abruptly after your father's funeral.  I just couldn't stay in town after he was gone.  So many bittersweet memories.

But also, I had a vendetta to pursue back home.  Our life in the Oil Town was so good, I never told you about the home I came from. 

My mother was such a hard worker.  As a baby I followed her as she zoomed about finished the sheep pen for our home.  "We are settlers" she said.  My grandma bequeathed me her clothes and I felt so lucky.  I got the black dress, the backpack and a warsword, when most of my cousins were in single loincloths eeking out a living by the berry bushes.  My mother warned me to stay near food, because we were dangerously low.  It was a hard life. 

But then it got harder.  My Aunt Sandy went crazy and killed my mother for no reason at all.  Said something silly about killing sheep.  My mother was NO SHEEP, I can tell you that.  I tried to hover near her as she passed, so I could grab her knife, but Sandy got it first.  Actually, I'd never held a knife, so I'm not entirely sure I could have handled it anyway.  I grabbed the wolfskin hat from my dead mothers head, and ran.  I had already cursed Sandy, and she knew I would kill her if I could.  I would have ended up dead if I stayed. So I ran.  I'm not proud of that, but it's what I did to survive.

I'd heard the rumors about Oil Town - this big place where many families mixed, that didn't have enough people.  I felt like... maybe I'd lived there in a previous life?  It called to me.  So I went.  I picked up a few plates and some firewood along the way.  Ran away from an Ethington town that wanted me to come join them, but chased me around endlessly while carrying a bow. 

Almost as soon as I found Oil town, I ran into your father, Enver.  He was so kind!  When I gave birth to you, he showered you with gifts.  The look on his face when I named you for him!  It was priceless.  He gave all of your siblings clothes, too.

The only time I doubted his loyalty was when he showed up with his own girl baby, Jules.  I never understood him well, but I could tell he was saying she was his daughter.  I was so ashamed!  He'd slept with another woman!  But then he said he loved me... and what could I do but forgive him?  I loved him too.  We raised her together.  But she died to the dreaded DC/AFK disease.

But really, your father Enver Uno, was the best husband I could imagine having, even if I lived a hundred lives or more.  I was proud to be with him.  Did you realize he brought in three or four stacks of firewwod while you were growing up?  That's a real great provider, I tell you.

Anyway, I got too old for babies, and I knew your sister had decided to leave town to raise her children.  You and your brothers seemed happy, and then your father died... Thank you so much for translating for us at the end.  I could understand some of his words by then, but it was always so much easier for you.  I know you didn't want to know all those details about your parent's love life, especially the bit about the underpants, but I really appreciated you being there with us through the end.  It meant the world to me.

But then he was gone, and my thoughts went straight to home.  I suddenly realized that there was a chance that evil woman Sandy was still alive lording it over the dead remains of my mother.  So right away, I grabbed a bow, fixed an old arrow, got a pie from the baker and headed back home.

When I got there, I was greeted by a cousin named Savior.  She recognized me, because... she had been my mother in a past life!  She knew all sorts of details.  I guess we really are reincarnations!  Anyway, she had already gotten rid of Sandy, and they badly needed an arrow to get the sheep to finish off the pen my mother had started years ago.  I happily handed mine over for a much better cause than simple revenge.

So that's how my life is ending. Your sweet kind mother never had to kill a soul, and I'm spending the rest of my days getting soil to the withering berry patch of my old home.

If you want to come and visit my grave, the town is directly southwest of Oil town.  You have to pass by an Ethington village.  Your cousins could really use some iron, so if you could be a dear and run the diesel mine for them, I'd really appreciate it.  There's no chance they'll find any in the picked over mountains.

My only regret is that I won't get to see you and your brothers off at the end.  But you were all so much like your dad, I'm sure you had good lives. Share this with them, if they are still around.

Love always,
Jenna Freedman

Thank you, thank you!

Wow!  I'm really attached to the coordinate system in hetuw and the nearby player counts, but.... being able to search for any form of sterile pad!?  Yeah... I'll be checking this out when I play tomorrow.

Thanks milkweed!

I failed to run away from a lone griefer who was one age range older than me yesterday, (Oh, I'm pretty sure Ziv has a second account, BTW) so I like the idea of generally slowing down running to kill.

I have seen spontaneous posses form a couple of times... but I'm not sure if all the member knew about shift clicking, and whatnot.  Does each person have to have the KILL command triggered to get the speed bonus?

But can you do something to make the speed bonus not work if the group is made up of twins or quads?   There was at least one arc that fell to a pair of murdering twins systematically spawning in each family.

I strongly disagree with the idea that the rift is doing a better job at 2) permanence of player built areas, than the resetting eve spiral.  San-Cal existed during the resetting Eve spiral.  It made exploring the wilderness interesting... maybe you'll be the first to find old San-Cal?  Or maybe you are wasting your time and it got wiped?  Who knows?

I wish you would go back to tweaking the resetting Eve Sprial to maximize 4) rather than tweaking the rift model.

The resetting Eve Spiral maximized variable tech level for the town you are born to much more than the rift does.

Also... we don't care about permanence of families.  Hope Tree didn't care about her family's permanence.  She wanted to go back to a PLACE she liked - so she got on a horse and went there.  You are only getting us to act like we care about family continuity because you've tied it to the continuity of player built areas.

I love this reporting but.... it really bugs me that you are calling the length of an arc a "century".

A century is one hundred years, no less and no more.  Saying "This century lasted 1700 years." makes my head explode!

But you even named your website ACE for the century... so I'm probably not gonna get you to change it.

Can't we just call it an Arc?  As in, "This Arc lasted 1700 years"

Just popping in to say I completely agree.

1) the glitches in the curse system need to get fixed ASAP
2) the length of a curse's impact needs to get longer.  Lots of people only play one day a week, so let's make curses last at least a week.
3) people need to be able to stun others and lock em up.  Even if this happens to some people unfairly... its an interesting story, right?

I'm not big on the tarring and feathering, just because I can see our griefer twins using that against innocent people.

But MORE tools for players with good intentions would be great. I like the idea of a stunning weapon that only impacts people with a bloody knife.  How about just a Long Shaft?  We already use it as a club on seals....  And there is usually one hanging around the smithy/nursery/bakery zones anyway.  It would expand the amount of time for people to pass judgement on someone who has killed, instead of rushing to kill them while they are still in cooldown.

Thanks Destiny!
