One Hour One Life Forums

I think the simple solution would be to make it so you can't feed someone who isn't starving.

Well if you needed a wheel chair and someone could make one for you and then you could keep doing stuff that'd be neat.

Pein can you stop building engines for like a week so other people learn? I strongly suspect that all the engines on the server are built by you and maybe two other people.

Same. This would mean that paying and playing well would generally keep you topped up nicely instead of avoiding playing just to get the number to it's maximum.

I also agree that doing a poll to find out why people die is a good idea. I suspect there is something that none of us have mentioned here. Or maybe not, but that's the only way to know.

I'm curious if most of the people who don't feel like they have enough lives are new players who die young more often, long time players who don't die at an old age mostly, and if this is just the "anxiety" I wrote about in another thread. A substantial minority of players don't feel like they have enough lives. Would be very valuable to send a survey to ONLY a sample of those players (say 60) and ask for an open-ended reason why? I've been guessing the reasons but I don't really know.

Is it that they want to Eve?
Is it that they are still learning?
Is it that a number that always goes down makes them anxious (might not be a bad thing)?
etc.

60 open ended surveys with an option to "skip" should produce 20-40 responses, many will be short, but there might be something we have never once discussed in this forum.

Your brother had the soul of a bear! That is a strange bug!

Some of the time when you get a few in a row it's the same person I think. And some people may come back to the game after a break and not know about the new rules. I haven't seen many more /die babies since the increase to 18.

This is one advantage of using a sample over polling the whole population. You get better engagement from the people you do poll since they don't see the poll all the time, it's rare and special so people take the time to read it.

I also think asking open-ended questions is very important. And obviously you'd want a sample for that. Some of the time when I've run polls I've been asking the wrong question and only found out thanks to an open ended question...

More data aren't always better than rich data.

OK one more. This is from last week. Stabbed at age zero in a cluttered chaos hole of a town. I was having a bad time. Note the plate of sliced tomatoes. Nothing makes clutter quite like salsa. It's the worst.

And just to cheer you up after that here is a happy life. I doubt this town ever wanted to milkweed. Not after my milkweed madness life.

I'm really just posting this because I'm curious if anyone ever finds the massive milkweed patches I make. I've made a few... never found one from someone else though... yet.

Nothing annoys me like plates left in the prairie... except for maybe people who just take the rabbit and leave the trap!

Great, now the rabbits won't re-spawn for anyone else! Just take the trap off the hole and leave it to the side how hard is that to do... OMG.

Not exactly clutter, but sheeeesh.
