I was born as a boy, 8th generation end, with a mom 39 year old, i almost starved as she didnt realize that she is old, picked me up three times, nude lady fed me once so i survived
Old granny geared me and was hot on the tile but we were lucky with a staircase desert so i could just sit between 5 desert tiles, on a green spot, geared baby spot near carrot, i put all the kids on there if geared. Moma fed me carrots as others didnt bothered.
We had two bears, one had two arrows in it. I made a pack first as didnt wanted to starve, then i got a basket, a thread, sharp stone, guy got me a flinching, then i made the arrow. Told him first the one on north as it had two arrow in it. he killed both.
We were safe, even over farming. I hid he file and the arrows, just to be sure. I started forging my blades, made three, then had to help farm as too many were watered. We had a baby boom and lady was bored of raising kids, but we had too much food even, so i fed all abandoned kids.
We had a pen, only someone planted milkweed too close, we tried stakes and water, we couldnt remove, so i sealed that corner. Also the pen had east-west fences and an entrance not made. So i replaced all 12 fences with diagonal one. One food was ready, so i went out getting some milkweed, was a nice biome with tons of maple trees, desert mix, peopel ate all berries, exept one bush.
Somehow made my rope, people starving left and right. Part of family went north taking all our carts and pies. Made my shears and knife, took a bow and an arrow, after soem scouting on west, ehaded south and got a muflon shot after a minute, went back to camp, like 6 people there, lagged me out as they congratulated for sheep. Wnt out and made one more berry bowl. seen a girl who was abandoned, standing on farm, raised her up, throwing the poop under her, then i gave a muflon hide to her. She ended up helping making entrances, loved ya daughter. Fed two sheeps, sheared, made a roll spingle and a knitting needle, made my hat, the first ever in Sol family. We started mutton pies, we didnt had much berries for compost, also people just ate all bushes and never watered on other famine. One bush was coming back but i used for making more sheep. But soon should start rolling. Lady was returning old with cart of bunnies, naked lady was helping on mutton pie so made her and her son cool with my snake shoes, first ever wool hat and seal skin.
Daughter went out somewhere, would of gave her my stuff. Died making the poo dance, throwing dung under the kid then pick up. was a productive life, and surrounded with loving, had working family. Hope you are all well, the compost gonna help a lot i guess.Great ending before sleep.

I was born in the village you are talking about ! My name was Stone Sol and you were my Second Cousin Once Removed. Our common ancestor was Anne Sol (the one with "Finish the grave..." as her last words). It appears that you were probably dead by my time, but we also had a big problem with a bear (notice my last words...). I came back to the village after a soil run, they were all panicking over a bear who was already hit by two arrows. Problem is, we didn't have more. So we ran finding materials for one last arrow (I went looking for a feather) but by the time we were all ready, the stupid bear was gone ! With our two arrows !

We went back to work but it was pointless : no more girls.

So I decided to fill my backpack with pies and went looking for an Eve (I knew it was pointless but I hate working for nothing). I had taken ONE STEP out of the village that I was facing the bear with two arrows ! Quick, I came back to inform the one guy left in the village, but he didn't care, so I took the bow... went for the bear... found him... stepped on him instead of shooting... I was killed by a Grizzly Bear at 42.

I guess I never used a bow before and panicked at what button to click on... Yeah pretty pathetic death for me !

Yes! I was Venus sol of gen 2 your great great great great grandmother! I just picked up this game and its stuff like this that is awesome! I was born into that family again later in the evening I thought that was so cool.

pein · 2018-05-14 14:11:36

yes it was north somehow, but we had second bear too, i was a baby when i first see the one with two arrows, its just stepping on the items, you can kill the bear easily this way, just have empty tiles near you and be the only person close by

i was stalled by one bear, but managed to run away and dont aggro it

so basically gen 9 was younger than me as gen 8 xD

Thank you for this.
As Eve Sol;
boys named Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune;
girls named Venus, Terra, Gaia, Rhea and sometimes names like Persephone, Athena, Aphrodite, Io, Europa, Ganymede, many of which default to the nearest names in the list,
it is a pleasure to have given all of you the opportunity for a new life. I never discriminate by gender, my first boys Mercury and Mars, are often vital to my success when they are productive players who can not just stay alive, but take on the vital roles of turning the milkweed I've pulled with them in my arms, into tools, gathering the adobe and clay for the first kiln, kiln seal, bowls, plates and charcoal, or out there gathering soil, carrot seeds and snaring rabbits for those first needles. You are all, all my children, vital to the success of my first homes, and I will always, accept every one of you or die trying, until we make a home that stands the test of time.

Most often I have to go with a fresh start from scratch, after 10-30 minutes of searching for conditions I am pretty picky about; has to be on desert (you use half the food naked in desert as you do naked in all other biomes but Tundra, and that extra time for each pip to last is crucial for avoiding struggle), has to be near a large green biome with 12-20 milkweed, at least, lots of wild food and soil, and near swamp, with at the very least three ponds, but thirty plus is the dream for long term water supply. If the deserts have lots of cacti, I'm out there every ten minutes pulling them, especially if I have a child. I feel it's vital that children know where emergency wild food supplies are if a carrot seed crisis ever emerges, and it also gives those hunting for resources a nice, warm, place to fill up their food meter and pull some cacti for the future, before setting out to gather iron, rabbits, or any other resources, in the future.

Occasionally I am gifted with a dead city, whose location I have not chosen, and as such, I can't always vouch for, but, I like a challenge and am not adverse to travelling long distances for resources, when and if needed. Just give me a few desert tiles here and there and I am your runner. They are like bus stops, gas stations, or subway terminals for me, at least, that's how I look at them. They are the hearts of the circulatory system when it comes to the transportation of goods.

Lately I have been trying to get my kid, my family, to store up excess carrot seed so we never have to rely on plots for seed when no carrots are around. I have accept that the carrot farm is the default go to for food and as such, a person who is dead set on staying alive is going to pull from that seed plot and potentially force everyone to either scatter for food, say their last words early, or fight over the last scraps of food around; wasting time and effort in the process, and just making matters worse for everyone who stops to read what they say or, to try and pin the blame for murders. I don't want my children to ever have to struggle through those situations, and as such I am keen to get carrot seed surplus to become a thing.

With that comes more challenges however, soil and water being obvious, but there is also the often overlooked things like sharp stones for stone hoes when there are not iron ones around, rope for stone hoes, and baskets for storage, so people aren't using more than a carrots worth of energy just to pull one carrot and transport it ten tiles outside of the farm that is encircled with a halo of carrots and seeds.

Pein, based on your description, I may have been gifted the town you were in, as an Eve spawning in a dead city, but I also spent the day yesterday building that town up. It was one I found myself in as the child of an Eve and played a big part in whoever's decision it was to settle there.

Also, when I came back the last time, as a revisiting Eve, I spent the last twenty years of my life, mostly hauling soil from a large, nearby sprawl of soil to ensure that the kids had ample food when I was gone and there would be no, or at least, minimal, arguing over seed carrot plots. I did not have enough time to start a second carrot farm as the soil and water were at opposite ends of the town, so I chose to dump massive amount of soil into the main farm before I passed on. I also tried to start a berry farm far east of the sheep enclosure, near a few separate ponds, that I had envisioned would be used, mainly for berry bowls, as the massive carrot farm should have sufficed for the food for at least long enough for someone to tame a muflon kid and get sheep and compost up and running.

Had I not dumped so much soil into that farm you may have never known that town as a Sol. Or any of the adventures you were afford in that life there after, so at least I know I did enough for you and the others to live long enough to have a future.

I am all for spreading out and making multiple carrot, berry, milkweed and even wheat farms around a town, heck, if we can, even have separate sheep pens for composting and wool production, that can compliment, and back up each other as either one's resources are depleted by uninformed third parties.

Let's do that, let's try to have backups of everything when we are afforded the opportunity to do so. Some of the longest lived towns I've ever known have been spread between two, three, even more settlements where ample soil and water have afforded people the opportunities to tack on additional farms and resource supplies to preexisting communities.

Maybe one day soon, if we all get things right, we can know an hour where the whole server lives within a single community, and can thrive together, as one, great family.

Just once, can we do that?

Can we all be happy together and not squabble over things?

I know we can.

I was Urban Sol, gen 2

I spent most of my life just gathering things for the place like seeds, rabbits and soil and trying to organize the farm more. I brought over a lot of soil from the large plains nearby and helped grow and organize some of the farms. It was such a super nice family honestly and when I went I gave my backpack and clothes to one of my nephews I think. I don't remember who, but I just let myself starve at the ripe age of 59 near the farm watching my family for the last seconds of my life. Was nice tho, got to tell everyone bye and I love them before I went.

We had a stone house going, a bell tower started, tools, carts and everything. It was really nice and I've never seen a family progress so quickly before! You all did so well.

@Morti -
You were a good mom and I recall you constantly offering advice about the farm and telling my siblings and I to keep seed back ups. It's a shame no one really listened though. I know I spent a good chunk of my life guarding some seed rows so we wouldn't all die for a famine.

Thank you Uranus (Urban), I'm glad you traveled to provide for the family, but this role, the guard of the seed plot, this is what I am trying to avoid. I feel it is far more productive for any person, to be out there gathering water, carrot seed, soil and even baskets of food, like the cactus fruit, rather than standing over a plot of carrots "defending it" and distracting people. I don't blame you for doing this, someone else started this habit, just like someone else made infanticide a common practice for Eves and ignoring boys a thing for the sake of their lineage, even if a thriving community. People have gotten things wrong and still managed to live long enough that they seem to want to attribute that to their success, and as such, want to throw blinders on to arguments to the contrary. Reminds me of B.F. Skinner's pigeon experiment into operant conditioning. That is what it is, operant conditioning, and as I've said, I don't blame any of you as people for doing these things, but I do implore you to consider the consequences and alternatives.

One of the undiscussed, as I've yet seen, results of the "seed guard" is that it's says to other players "I don't trust you to do what is right, when I'm not looking." and that, I feel, is more detrimental in the long run than a five minute period without carrots.

When the time comes that we recognize that consumption is outpacing production, it's time to pursue alternative means of food production. By that, I mean, going out and gathering seed, eating from the wild in the process and alleviating some of the localized demand for food by our own actions. As a young child able to hold a basket, if I recognize the town is about to go through a period like this, as soon as I can, I grab a basket and go into Eve mode again. Find the nearest patch of desert or fire where I can get the best balance on my temp and set out in a single direction, with little to no deviation away from town, to increase the odds that I find an untouched food supply. More often than not, I find that someone has been through a desert area I pass through, before and that there are plenty of cactus fruiting where I can stop, fill up my basket, lock my temp again and set course back home, where I can give a few cactus fruit to the adults and set back out once again, in search of food and seed.

It's a great way to take in the lay of the land, provides what remains of the community (those who don't know to do so) a chance to build back up, and to find other untapped resources in far off biomes. You don't need any clothes, you don't need a cart full of baskets, heck, it can be even better if you go out with nothing, just lock your temp at balanced, run out, find a desert, grab a stone, sharpen it, dig burdock or eat wild berries or pull seed fro wild carrot before eating them, and eventually find a swamp where you can make a basket, toss in your sharp stone, a carrot seed and a cactus fruit, head home, drop the basket off and set right back out into the wild, naked and unarmed, leaving those things behind for others to put to use.

It's a small contribution, it can seem relatively useless to such a large city, but you're not contributing to the stress of that local area, you're only providing.

Again, I don't blame you for feeling that the best thing you could do at the time was to take on the role of seed guard. With the introduction of signs to the game, it can seem that this is a valiant role in lieu of such a reminder, but I feel it may have an unexpected side effect, that some personalities, just may not appreciate.

But rather than only discuss problems I see, I prefer to be a source of solution. So, my advice would be to make excess bowls from nearby clay if you suspect such a crisis may loom five to ten minutes on the horizon, toss a clay bowl (or pouch, if there is surplus fur and milkweed around) into a basket, you only need one, and set out for a location where grassland and swamp meet, make a sharp stone along the way, stop by a prairie, grab a carrot seed, dig yourself a bite to eat, and find a place where soil and pond are fairly close. This ensures you have the two vital ingredients to start a new farm for carrot seed; the basket, for soil, and the bowl or pouch, for water. You fond the seed along the way, or may have to do so after you find the spot for the farm, but you will have a food supply in that grassland or prairie to stay alive for the five minutes or so it takes for your fresh plot to turn to seed. You've just turned one carrot seed into seven and, where there is one soil there is often four others, and where there is one pond, there are three to four more water, so you can set four plots of soil onto their way to become growing carrots and potentially seeds, before making the trek back home with a few excess carrot seeds and your sharp stone to dig up food along the way.

This is a solution to a crisis that a naked five year old child can provide their village, five years in advance.

Maybe when you come back at the age of ten to fifteen, and find that, things weren't so bad after all. That there are lots of carrots and seeds around and your basket of one or two seeds is just a drop in the bucket. But part of that is because you were not around eating carrots, spending your time saying "this is seed" or wasting peoples time saying "She took from seed" and just distracting people, exacerbating the situation.

Or, maybe there is one little girl left, whose mother just died, waiting on a warm tile for her mother to return, and your piece of food keeper her alive just long enough that she can live to hold a basket while you show her where your seed farm and cactus fruit are, after planting that seed back at home, and when you and she return five to ten minutes later, there are seven new carrot seeds waiting just as she gives birth to her first child.

I would risk the former scenario for the latter, any time.

the laughlins took it over
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … e&id=41363
6th gen, "ILE" or something on a locked board, stone room with bows locked, lady opened it when i was old

as all baskets decayed so when i was born was pretty hard, already a big boy when i made my backpack, had to hide thread as they dont even kept a needle. somebody got us some furs, like 12, so wasnt that bad.
Mom was funny, throwing lambs and ducks for us to play with, she had 4 kids very fast, i was last. then some more, like 3

soil was scarce and they didnt left any wheet planted, so no way to make new, reet is pretty far, and no carts either
some flatstones north, so somebody evacuated there havent had chance to go up

people are crazy, made like 10 ingots until i had to make my own hammer, hide my ingot and make my knife that way, little girl digged out the pen, we fixed it soemhow but then they cut the sheep

no milkweed either, and the berry bushes up to right were eaten, 1 single picked off each so compost making was halted, made a few compost during my life, gathered wood, just so people wasted over and over the ingots on lock breaking. as uaual sharp stones, stones, maybe 2-3 in whole city. less than one basket per kid and no milkweed, so most of them ran around aimlessly. tons of soil to left, not even far away and south of the savannah was full of seed so we could fix the farm but needs tons of wheat to remake baskets. havent seen much clothing made of wool, i guess north town took that

been a few hours i been there and based on berry bushes, i assume they could of made plenty of clothes. sad to see that a town making progress gets robebd and people cant plant wheat to fix the most big issues.
