One Hour One Life Forums

Meh. I got my $20 worth of entertainment out of it but I think I'm done.

I played a bunch when the game first came out. It was kind of fun to catch bunnies and run around with a backpack and one shoe.  The infamous basket decay update pretty much killed my interest. I was a bit curious about the photo and other updates that have been made recently so I played a few lives this week.

It was still mostly running around with a backpack and one shoe. Civilization seems pretty much stalled out at making mutton pies, and trying to find enough water to keep the berry bushes alive. It's just tedious. Sure cars and airplanes exist, but no one is going to build these things when the game is still so focused on dirt farming.

A grizzly bear ate most of our town.

I named my daughter Xena. told her she was a warrior princess. she would have to save us all.
My aunt Gayle was going to try and lure the bear away when I got eaten. Xena was still a baby. I am glad she made it to adulthood, but her last words cracked me up a bit.

Her last words:
Xena
32 years old
Killed by Rattle Snake
Final words: "Is bear still here?"

uhm.... I`d probably abandon both of them just about every time that happened. I doubt I`m the only one.

Two kids at a time is too many unless you`re in a town where everything is running smoothly, which is pretty rare. There would be no point in trying to `save one` It would be a waste of time and resources because I`d expect the chosen one to just suicide anyway to try and be reborn with their friend again.

Like MidgetMaker says, I`d also be suspicious of griefers teaming up and even if not griefing I`d worry that they`d be too invested in playing together to be helpful if the town needed something like one of them to hunt rabbits north and the other to go scavenging to the south.

OMG that was me. Thank you so much. I mentioned you at the end of my poem to Sunny Sky. That was one of my favorite lives so far. You were a great teacher

Aw what a sweet story. The sheep were so cute.  I wish I had happier news to report

My mom died pretty soon after I was born but my aunts made sure I made it, I was a your nameless Great Niece.  Danger was my awesome Uncle, he called me cutie and told me to make pies. So I baked pies, caught a few Rabbits and popped out eleventy babies

We had a bit of a population boom, a bunch of kids starved even though we had a stockpile of carrots and a few pies... I didn`t catch on until a few good contributing members of the village starved to death in the middle of the carrot farm... a nameless Cousin was trolling everyone by eating all the food, releasing the sheep and basically being a chaos vector.

A few new kids tried to get the farm back up and running. One of my cousins was trying to forge a knife, but our troll kept grabbing everything as soon as she put it down. 

In the end it was just me and the troll. We had words and I started making a bow, but he stole my basket and I ran off.  By the time I returned he had starved to death.  I danced on his grave and lived until old age out of spite.

I was in a family with the last name Potter.

Almost everyone was named Harry, or Hari.

I tried to name my first Baby Gandalf because you gotta love mashing up random fandoms.

Tripping on shrooms amuses the hell out of me. Having funny names. Being reincarnated as your own grandchild/greatgrandchild after a snake or something kills you then trying to explain to your mom that you were her mom one letter at a time is a hoot.

Killing the bear that ate your only daughter and dancing on it's grave. Suck it bear!

Getting old and handing out your clothes and gear so you can run around naked yelling "woooooot" until you die.

I like hunting bunnies. They make the saddest cutest little strangling noises (does that make me horrible? it sounds horrible). Plus they're food, and clothes, and bone needles. It feels so much more useful than carrrot farming.

Asking your babies if they know how to do something you haven't learned yet then getting them to teach you. Hassling Penguins, Geese and bunnies when you're an abandoned baby.

I love wondering wtf people are thinking sometimes. I've starved in a tiny farm where someone wasted all the milkweed strings putting together a lasso. Meanwhile like 6 of us where running around naked. It was kind of hilarious.

More snake skin clothes would be awesome. Cotton, spinning and weaving fabric, and art will all be fun additions.

I'm sorry that has been your experience on the forum. Some of the stuff people post on these forums is awful and the moderators don't seem to have any interest in dealing with it.

I hope you can still enjoy the game in spite of the few loud assholes on the forums.

One life I named my kids after the months of the year. Another time I named them alpha, beta, delta etc.

Usually I can’t think of anything and just give everyone boring names like Jane and joe.

A few times I’ve named boys “extra” or “spare” the game changes those to something else, but it was kind of funny.

How about a teardrop face tattoo after a third kill? It would give players a heads up if there’s a serial killer in town and wouldn’t effect anyone who only kills a rare Greifer.
Policing and protecting the village would still be up to the players 

Maybe a karma thing where after getting murder tattoos several times you’d only spawn as an eve until you make it to old age in one life?

Cuteness? I think they're for the cuteness.

Maybe feathers, giant eggs or something?  Maybe one day we'll be able to use them as an alternative to firewood. (Totally awful idea but that actually contributed to the extinction of the great auk, they were used as fuel for the fire due to their high fat content and being too dumb/friendly to run away from sailors.)

I was born a boy in a busy village.

My uncle was trying to get someone to go with him. His name was Z... something.

I followed him a long way to a beautiful town that was abandoned. It had everything including like 4 or 5 carts of pie, wheat, berry, milkweed, and carrot farms. Even a few penned sheep and carts full of clothes. It was glorious.

I got straight to work on the farm, mixing compost and watering a few plots, replacing a few dead berry bushes.  We tried to recruit a lady to continue on the town, but had no luck... I think they distrusted us for our sexy moustaches.

A pie toting gentleman joined us. Telling the tale of woe. He had been cast out of his village for wishing for nothing more than to be a pie baker.  His mom did not think this manly enough so he set off with his cart of pies seeking friends and adventure.

The three of us puttered about for a bit making the place nice for whoever came next. "One day we will go to the moon" I declared as my uncle aged and prepared to leave our beautiful world.

Alone I ran for years trying in vain to find an Eve.  Finding only one who was frozen/glitched.

I returned home to spend my dotage surrounded by familiar places only to discover that a nice young couple had moved in. I wished them luck in Utopia.

I must have gone a bit mad from the loneliness. When I had bare minutes left to me, I piled my clothes by the farm carts near the cemetery (where I had originally found them) and ran around the carrot fields naked as the day I was born yelling "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" as a confused young lady looked on.

(I just remembered another funny)

I was born a boy in a large village. Everyone kept picking the carrots, there were no seeds.

I stood over the last patch and kept saying "Seeds" "don't pick" over and over. Then once, feeling silly added "I am a sign" "don't pick" "seeds"
Another player came over and said "one hundred percent" "organic sign"
I lolled.
My seed protecting was ineffective though, I had to abandon it out of rage/frustration and wandered off in search of wild carrot seeds instead.  I returned with a  bunch of seeds to find another had taken over sign duty and was having an equally frustrating time... I handed him a bow and arrow I had stumbled upon... he was a much more effective sign after that. lol
