Wait, Forkwood must have a bug, Spoonwood does not know what satirical is... or Spoon is just super duper satirical...

I know it's impossible for Spoon to know what satirical means. Do you even know the meaning of the word "satire"?

Or is that too much to ask?

*joke*

No. No way on this site does it make sense to call me 'Forkwood' when you have a coffin AND a black mask AND a white mask AND a scarf AND a dress AND THREE HAT OPTIONS AND the potential to craft a fourth set of clothing. Unless you prefer to be called 'Murder' by someone named 'Murder'.

But what do I know? I guess I'll let the real experts handle this one.

If I allowed it, people would obviously make use of it all the time, and you can see how that looks pretty terrible, and breaks the immersion.  No comic book would ever format such an utterance this way.

"BRING BACK 3 TINDER" would look fine to me within the OHOL world and I have hundreds of hours (if not well over a thousand) of hours of playing the game.

In late 2000, almost 21 years ago, the comic Little Gamers premiered.  According to Wikipedia, 0ne m1ght expecT a new comic of Little Gamers 3 times a week.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Gamers#video_game

According to Wikipedia:

Wikipedia wrote:

Arguably, Little Gamers, together with Megatokyo and other webcomics, helped immensely in popularizing the use of leet speak.

I have not read the comic myself, but the Wikipedia says:

Wikipedia wrote:

Mr. (Pontus) Madsen is the main protagonist of the strip together with Christian. He is known for his usage of leet speak and his obsession with a huge collection of pr0n. He's part Danish. He's 27, likes pr0n and Final Fantasy, and dislikes Christian.

Also Wikipedia says:

Wikipedia wrote:

In 2005, Little Gamers published its first collection of comics in book form. As of February 2008, four collections of comics have been published.

Thus, it seems rather clear that leet speak has appeared in comic books before.  Again, there's evidence that even 15 years ago, leet speak was consistent with comic book standards.

The "previous comic" I think was one character once saying 'three tinder'. The next comic was 'ready' or something like that. So you mean the first line of the first one? That's not leet speak. That's someone speaking in their native language.

I would consider 'three tinder' to be leet speak.

For this next part, I don't know how to respond. I think Mr. Rohrer's initial question makes for a good one, but the answer, I'm not sure. The way this game functions makes it so that what I can say right now means next to nothing, I'm sure. The real problem lies in the fact that Mr. Rohrer has realized that 'bring back 3 tinder' is something that would be useful, so if I were him, I would have placed the suggestion there instead of on this other thread.

So... tinder might have gotten used as a weapon at some point, because of the l33ts?

Pfft, You aren't even being objective. Your opinion is wrong

I can't be objective about Spoonwood because she is a girl's name.

You know how baby shoes become useless when you get back to town with your baby? Well Spoonwood gets even more useless than baby shoes since she's a girl's name. There is no sense of sacrifice or deep connection to her parents like there is with baby shoes, because the game designer got rid of her like shoes.

In an argument with Spoonwood, there can be no winners, only survivors.

Any game where Spoonwood runs is an exercise in futility. The best strategy in such a game is to ignore Spoonwood. Even ignoring Spoonwood by running away isn't really possible in some games when Spoonwood has male children or knows your location, since Spoonwood gets into the cart when you run away. I played my family trying to get away from Spoonwood one game, but he ran before my wife could get into the cart. It was very frustrating for me to see the mover get picked up by Spoonwood.

*laughs*

Oops.  You're correct.  I'll leave it unedited since you got my mistake.

I did get your mistake. Of course, you're an idiot, and I was the one who did the analysis. If you were smart, and knew anything about how fertility and family planning work, you would know that of course one woman having two children is not the same as two women having one child each. That's how nature works. As such, your objection was clearly a serious misunderstanding of how fertility works in this context. Of course, the later has more bearing on how such a question should be asked. Since such a question has already been asked and answered (unsurprisingly, Spoonwood has already answered it), your second objection probably also merits the same response. Spoonwood's original answer had a typo though: he misspelled "max" as "mux".

If the fertility command on a server is on (enable fertility on server or enable on server without using the fertility command is on it), even better. A cloned female Spoonwood going by the handle of Spoonwood. Another female Spoonwood going by the handle of Forkwood. Both Spoonwoods have a certainty of at least one child in a life. There exist at least 2 Spoonwoods in the lineage of a female Father of Subways going by the handle of Newyorker. And so on.

Its also interesting how its also interesting how long ago Spoonwood was, and how short lived Forkwood's life has been so far. In the later life of Spoonwood, Spoonwood posted on a discord server "One child maximum!". But she had a girl anyways, which makes sense because Spoonwood wasn't maximum efficient. So in that sense she was wrong, she overestimated her fertility in that life. I guess her efficiency was inversely proportional to her degree of maximum inefficiency in terms of fertility in that life? Who knows though, I don't play Spoons either, which is why I can't give a more exact estimate of how wrong Spoonwood was in that life when she said "One child maximum!".

Spoonwood got pregnant with her second daughter in her third life though, which was a sign that her fertility calculation in her last life was correct.

For shitty trailers and rehashed topics

Yeah, maybe if people played the game it would be better, but I'm really not sure that is the case. I can't think of anything relevant that came out recently, but looking at the forums, it's mostly things that have come out that people want or players did before or didn't get. Some players did get that this game has a flawed incentive structure though. That and there's this whole thing with griefers and griefing and people wanting to loot things and claiming racism and the multiplayer apocalypse and the remake and rehashed threads and the stone bowl and all of it just, I don't know, I guess, maybe I'm just trying to overstate it, but I just don't see the value in it.

Forkwood is Spoonwood without the self-awareness. He apparently doesn't think any more of himself than Spoonwood did. Spoonwood just happened to be right more often than wrong about things.

Nah, I understand satire just fine.    I'm just waiting for you to figure out how to string together a coherent sentence.

I find these statements objectionable on so many levels.

Both statements are objectionable for their dishonest nature.

The statement "You do remember that the same evidence means the same conclusion rule, right?" is a throwback to a debunked parenthetemaking argument from Spoonwood.

Do you not understand satire when you see it? Is the saying 'be careful what you wish for' ringing any bells? Your lack of knowledge of the meaning of evidence and what it implies makes it unlikely that you will ever overcome your delusions.

Wood Spoon was a better character. I mean he did exist in some sort of tree. He had some sort of family tree. He had children, and some sort of family tree had branches. He even had some sort of middle name. He had a life story. And on top of that, Spoonwood is a girl's name.

It's also worth noting that Spoonwood is the only Eve outside of one hour one life that had an Eve Survival Guide that she wrote herself.

I say we get rid of this Spoonwood, and let a nice tree live on in One Hour One Life.

I don't think it's funny and clever that you still think that you can fool people into thinking that they aren't the same person. No one will believe you.

Edit 2: Spoonwood's copy-pasting is also satirical.

Edit 3: All of these posts are satire, not serious attempts at commentary on the state of the game or what people think of the game. Please note, that Spoonwood also posts on this thread, after having copied himself before.

Edit 4: Forkwood's posts are not serious attempts at commentary

A recent change enabled female players to generate new characters at the Eve camp.  Previously, players would often wait until the late game to generate new characters if they had surviving children (both male AND female characters can survive the nuclear attack).  This change, in the context of the game's existing dynamics, leads to more gynocentric play.

The one hour one life induction system is directly antagonistic to game mechanics that promote gynocracy in game described most recently by, at least, Eve Tchernek in her 2015 book "Freedom's Femininity".

Other game mechanics that promote gynocracy also exist, such as the inability to kill all of one's children when pregnant.

It used to be that children matured after 30 minutes.  Since the Pie server update, child survival has been reduced to 20 minutes on default (one hour one life changed all players to default soon after it was released... though it's not exactly clear when the change occurred).  So, any child that survives past 20 minutes can survive on their own terms, and theoretically is supposed to do so on one's first living impulse.

I've seen at least one Pie lineage repeatedly during my time online where there was three adult women on an otherwise unpopulated map. Now I don't know how reproductively capable one of those women were or are, but if no woman who played seriously ever reproduced, then gingers developed entirely through biotechnology (or reincarnation even... twenty minute delays make all of the Ginger people reincarnated gingers of course). And if reproduction occurred (it might not have), then the only way for men to develop was through incest with their mother or sister which tends reproduce true heritance or madness, rather than some functional line surviving.  Fathers might also live up to their responsibility biologically since they're STILL longest lived... but gingerism is still by far most common when they STILL leave no descendants alive anyways *making* them gingers via incest*.

Another thing, though less speculative would be that people playing with restrictions have an incentive to try to somehow promote gynocracy.

I think more evidence is needed before making a change here.

I think you completely missed the true purpose of Project December.   It is not to improve Spoonwood's social skills.  It is to preserve them for future generations.    I want my children and their children's children to be able to argue with AI Spoonwood about idioms and fatherhood.  Don't you?

So I can show them what insipid retorts look like? That's educational.

AI Spoonwood will be immature git git. Forkwood will go "hurr durr, why am I so clever? My daddy programmed me to code all day long. There are many reasons to preserve things. There are many reasons to reproduce them. Most of them have little to do with reproduction, though there are some profound human-emotion related motivations which result in reproductive activities.

Project December is a silly endeavor. Those with poor social skills aren't going to come around because you've trained a machine with good social skills to impersonate the bad communicator.
