You're Race X, You Can Only Do Jobs in Y

The title of this thread is the message that the game sends when the playercount on a server is 15 or more.

You are implying that OHOL provides clear guidance to new players about race restrictions, which is simply not true.

A pop-up message would be helpful.

I'm confused. Is this a suggestion, or something that's supposed to be already in the game or what?

If it's a suggestion I'm all for a notification that shows what your race can do, because there's currently nothing in-game that tells what each race is capable of.

I think a pop-up is a little much, I AGREE the information on all the annoying complex systems needs to be explained better. Seriously how are we suppose to know all this information? Scroll through months of update logs?

I think Jason should pin topic that explains everything. Race restrictions, tool slots, genetic fitness, yumming, leadership, cursing ect ect. There needs to be a go-to place people can read about this stuff and right now that place is basically just asking people in discord. I've had to explain everything above MANY MANY MANNNY times in-game and in discord. I honestly hardly understand a lot of the systems and sometimes I'm wrong. I just don't know. Things change all the time. We NEED a fleshed out information sheet.

I meant such as a description.

Nah, OHOL is a COVID simulator. Your Race is X, tough luck, you are unemployed till you die. How hard is it to understand?

I think Spoonwood means that in the current state of the game, your primary purpose is defined by your race.

For example, if you are born as a ginger, you are one of the lucky few that can gather the most precious resource in OHOL - Arctic Charr. So if you don't take up a fishing rod and gather enough worms to supply all the villages with cooked fish, the whole server will suffer.

Similarly, if you are born in a jungle village, you have the special duty to become a tattoo artist. If you don't spread the ink, who will? A life without body art is not a life properly lived.

And desert people are, of course, the only ones who can gather the necessary materials to make the legendary froot boot. You are basically required to become a professional snake stabber and boot maker to ensure that as many people as possible can know the joys of wearing their food on their feet.

There are no other races, so the game only has three important jobs. Everything else is just roleplay.

I've edited the title. Still, players can only do certain jobs according to their race. In the real world, a system that made it so that people could only do certain jobs would be job discrimination and illegal in the United States according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
