i think making nice buildings is good for the city, people recognize it faster
i often see newbees walking around aimlessly a lot, so city design is important for them

when i made the first sugarcane pens, people were so happy about it

this was like a 90 min project and players loved it

Had another idea. What if the cooldown after a kill was increased so that the killer would need to be fed after a kill more often or even all the time. Would mean the killer would need to have the support of at least one other person to kill without also dying from starvation.  If someone kills for good reason, the village will take care of them, whereas a random stabber is likely to end up starving.

in the long arc run, NÉ town had some pigs
i threw away 2-3 times
families came and go but the pig meat always ends up in the fucking bakery for no damn reason

This is based on a total count of actual hours lived inside the game.  Based on actual seconds inside the game, actually.

Whenever you die, the server sends a report about your life to the central stats server.

So anyway, this isn't counting time spent in the menu, time spent with the game minimized between lives, etc.  Only actually lived time.

Let's keep in mind Jason makes a lot of money from this game... How much vacation time do you guys get? How much are you paid? It's likey quit a but less. Because, as millenials, we are entitled to low wages and ridiculously high education costs. Yay us.

the it's a bit of skill game and wouldn't give all advantage to the attackers
people werent so brave attacking anyone and i ocudl defend my camp against triplet griefers even

if someoen makes a bow faster than you, it can kill you by other means too, and generally better players don't kill randomly with no reason at all
revenge for a previous life is possible, but still
when i seen that soemone cant take out a knife from a basket but is killing people and convinces his kids to kill others, only then i realized how dumb is this game

I'm not too sure how true this is to be honest.
Regular feral eve griefers will eventually pick up on dodging skills and reflexive stuff like that Vs a normal gamer who plays peaceful.

I suspect the average griefer will develop better combat skills than the average peaceful player. There will be players like you of course, ones that sunk in thousands of hours and also do combat, but I think players like you are an exception rather than the rule.

The thing is that it makes it advantage defender, since defender has more options and attacker is forced to reveal their hand without any guaranteed damage done.  Who cares if griefers have good dodging skills, that's not the problem - its them killing in the first place, which would be riskier to attempt if dodging was possible.

Your first problem is that you tried trading, period..

Currently there is 0 incentive to trade. If a random unrelated guy waltzed alone into my village with a cart full of goodies, which would be easier and gain more value for my family: giving the guy some of our own items for some of his, or killing him and not only getting the items he was trading, but also his clothes, food, and cart?

The answer will always be killing him. You get more gain out of it, with little to no consequence since 90% of the time your family won't care or will even encourage it [since you are obviously an outsider].

Maybe someday Jason will give us incentive and reason to trade instead of kill/loot.. but I wouldn't hold your breath over it. In the meantime, you can keep trying, but don't expect good results when killing outsiders isn't only easy, but also encouraged.

Very few things should be communally owned (a town square is one of them), production facilities like ovens and forges I think should be owned by individual people and most likely people will share and take up apprenticeships in order to build up the skills there, people should help produce permanent wealth for each other on there own property in order to pass it down through there families. What you get with communal ownership is an egalitarian divide of resources (keeping everyone poor and dis-empowering the most productive people), when really society should aim to empower the most productive individuals in order to better the society as a whole, following something along the lines of the Pareto distribution.
