yee do they all do the stinky thingy?

The thing is, there is a big portion of the playerbase that had to deal with people "choosing to be an evil character" for long enough. For me, the current curse system is a blessing and I hope it stays like it is. For the first time in ohol history griefers don´t have 100% anonymity on their side and I love it.

Griefers didn't 'get away with things' because of anonymity. They got away with things because the game's mechanics are unapologetically grief prone. I played the game seriously, attempting to help my families for the last 2 days (despite being called a griefer continually by certain clowns in this community). If a mechanic is causing the game to be unplayable, it's not the players fault, it's the game mechanic. Punishing PAYING CUSTOMERS for using an in game mechanic AS THE GAME HAS IT ENABLED TO BE USED FOR is not griefing. It's playing a game. It's almost as if you've never played a PvP game in your life. "OMG THIS GUY TOOK ME TO WILDERNESS AND KILLED ME! GRIEFER!" No... that's not Griefing. That's being smart.

Your first suggestion makes some sense from a person that has zero knowledge of how the game has developed for months. Maybe if you took a few weeks to read back these same forums you would understand how griefers had plagued this game. You could also understand how helpless the more pacific players have felt and how that has pushed many people away. Just to give you an idea, a few weeks before the new curse system I was playing as a mother trying to keep her family alive, being last fertile female. I had three girls and then twin males. The twins were griefers trying to exterminate my family, they killed two of my girls, I managed to dispatch both of them. In his last words, the second twin literally told eveyone how much fun this was for him and that he was coming back in five minutes to clean the rest after I was dead (My girl and her children were newish players). So yeah, toxicity goes where it is due most of the times.

Again, 'griefers' didn't plague the game. Gamers plagued the game. Gamers playing the game with in game mechanics that Jason failed to realize he had designed to be too 'realistic' to actually properly function within an online video game. The game has less than 100 people playing during it's peak hours now and i still see someone curse someone else almost every single life because they're 'griefing.' When in reality it's someone just being super petty.

Your second idea I approve completely. Make a separate space for Donkeys ideally with NO IRON. That way they don´t get a free paradise to play.

Glad you like it, but want to throat punch you that you think that you're entitled to enjoy playing the game the way you want to, but pvp players aren't. Even though you approve of my idea, you're opinion perfectly embodies everything that's wrong with this community and the way Jason is taking it.

Your third idea is almost universally bad, making new players Eve is recipe for disaster. If you want to play the early game from scratch the low population servers are more than you need, just go into settings and choose one from here http://onehouronelife.com/reflector/ser … ion=report, if you die of old age you even get to respawn in the same place.

This is actually why I'm replying to you, because you're 100% wrong here. If you read 'My Experience' You'd know I actually played on the private servers for several lives. And no, it's not universally bad. It teaches you how to play the damn game and with the basics given to you during the tutorial of the game, any new player should be sufficiently able to at least feed themselves and begin experimenting with crafting and learning the tech tier.

My friend who I also bought the game for didn't want to play after his second life because he said he had no idea where to even begin, because spawning into a town already under way leaves you swimming with no clue what to do. In fact if you look at how new players comment about the game in discord you'll hear my words reverberated by them.

Playing multiple lives as an Eve is how I learned to play, and I died of old age on each. ALSO! YOU DO NOT RESPAWN IN THE SAME PLACE! If I had, I wouldn't have ever even came back to the multiplayer server. I would have just built myself a giant town, took screen shots, and said duces. I literally only went back to main servers because I couldn't progress beyond what I could push out in a single 60 minute experience.

Family locking is also a bad idea unless you want to make permanent teams. Several times I´ve run into idiots telling me "this is my town, I was Eve..." or "Hey I build this farm two generations ago don´t do this so or so..." I get it, people like to feel attachment to where they play, but the idea of the game is exactly the opposite.

The game is exactly the opposite for who? You? Because the way it plays, I am forced to bounce between 4 towns, all the same towns, just seperated by an hour, or a series of /die to get myself back to the town I want to play in. Incidentally, this is something several players do, as is obvious from those who insta die when they spawn. So no, neither is the game designed to be the exact opposite, but many players 'idiots' as you refer to them, actually enjoy the idea of watching a single town evolve throughout the generations.

I hope you understand your suggestions make a lot of sense to you as a new player, but not to everyone in these forums.

My suggestions make a lot of sense to me, as someone who understands the entirety of this game having already played it for 60+ hours, exhausted every corner of it's Wikipedia and done everything in game but cause the apocolypse with the blood stone. Hell I even built Oddity for lulz since I could actually achieve that solo.

Lol. I just wonder what solo-murderers would do now. Form groups on discord? Try to convince others to mass murder? Spread lies to manipulate others against someone? Grief in other ways? Wait until some griefer team shows up and join them?

Hey Jason, I see what you're trying to do, I think.  The general idea is that any decision that requires more people *should*, in theory, benefit the town.  Makes sense.

However, as others have pointed out, attackers have a major advantage here.  They can plan ahead of time, be ready and spring the attack suddenly. 

Griefers are already organizing outside of the game and using the 24 lives to basically twin without the drawbacks of twinning.  (btw, could we get that lowered to something closer to 4?  Maybe beginning players can start off with 16 lives or something, in order to make it over the learning curve, but it only regenerates to 4).

They are already toasting players before we have a chance to organize a reasonable defense.  Could we at least have something like a sheriff, who doesn't need other players to react?
