Today I join Thy that complain about noobs

So I think I'm less of a newbie now because today I got pissed off at the town I manage to get in. At first it was calm and interesting. An ok sized berry farm, to the east an abandoned smithing area and what used to be a stew farm with 2-3 stews ready, to the west pies and wheat and other crops. To the north people were teach/learning to build a PEN for sheep, it was gonna be a great life....

Then I realized the only people working towards growing the town where the pen and us doing pies, I noticed someone stumbling upon the task and I teach him how to finish this batch and then how to make dough and the second process again, he said it was his first day so I was happy then I noticed people planting more berries and asked them to stop, hoe broke down and no one replied to smitting a new one, then someone made a stone hoe.... By the time we had our third batch of pies and ran out of carrots, berries and stuff, surprise surprise a cart full of mutton meat showed up ... they wanted to take some carrots and we realized they were all gone... so I set out to look for some seeds and come back plant them a little to the side (I actually just did one row as my backpack was full with other stuff including an iron I found, which of course no one smitthed.

This is where things go wrong, someone suggested to me to do a "purge" after realizing what was his goal I refused so he keep helping me after I was screaming at people to please don't eat this carrots (and we lost two anyway) he found a knife (probably had it stored behind a tree) and literally had to stand on the carrots telling people to back off. Carrots grew and we manage to reboot the compost cycle just in time to get more dirt as it was all gone and I couldn't find enough to put the 4 seeds we got. Then I go a little bit south to look for water and find this.

Of course I died of starvation while typing that and taking the screenshot and being just frustrated.... here's the life anyone here was one of the people actually working? http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=774640 this was a very good third gen IMO.

Anyway seems like the town died afterwards because someone got bored and started staving "idiots" and the rest just starved.

I was the purge guy,  You convinced me not to do the purge earlier. I did infact have the knife ready the entire time. I was hoping you would've helped me, Several other noobs had knives and I knew they'd stab me as so soon as I wanted you to cover me with the bow when they tried to stab me but you refused and I guarded carrots instead...

Your plan to yell at people for 30 years failed miserabl. Even the simple guarding was effective enough to save the carrots.

Several people where sponging off the people that were working. I ended up doing the purge and killed 2 of the sponge girls before getting killed. I was born back into the town on the second bloodline and saw it was doing a bit better. The sheep pen got extended and we had more food. I also finished off the last nub that survived from last time.

Doing a purge isn't griefing, It's a last resort to save a town. The real griefing is people that don't do much but eat and gear babies.

Edit: The town still lives, Just lived a full life there. There was one griefer named Lucia but she starved in the woods.

Mum abandoned me and my brother but grandma saved us. Grandma was cool and she even gave us some stuff when she noticed little girls being geared but us being naked. She hated her daughters and loved her grandsons much more. I even told her of my previous lives.

Me and bro lived to old age while our mum died in her thirties.

Re: Today I join Thy that complain about noobs

ha! good thing we found each other here... I agree in fact (and retrospective) I should have chosen otherwise I agree that killing some people that are not cooperating isn't griefing, however, I use force as last resort (here and IRL, haven't killed anyone yet, lol in neither) ... all in all I think we need a better way to notify people they are doing it wrong. I went to sleep thinking of ways to fix this.... maybe messages from the gods? but on the other hand, it's their game and they are enjoying it too right? even if they are killing off the town? I guess that's the question?

The other idea i had to fix this diseases!. Perhaps you get sick of eating the same thing too much and that's a hint to players that just doing berries is bad for their health? Maybe yum/yuck can we extended that if you eat the same thing 10-20? times in a row it gives you less health and the ambient changes. Sort of like "don't starve" in which the world gets darker as your sanity decreases giving you the hint that it should be up or else bad things will happen.

I lived again but after I died a grandson started griefing. At least the town fixed alot of the problems and lasted a long time.

I felt like you misunderstood me when I said purge. You thought i meant "Hey let's genocide the entire town".

Re: Today I join Thy that complain about noobs

It may or may not work, but it some times helps to try to be more proactive. So go around telling everyone, "Don't pick carrots, we need them for compost." "Eat berries at location X instead." Ideally, if you don't have griefers, if everyone in town knows you are using carrots for compost, and they know where the food they are supposed to eat, they will leave them alone. I think that works most of the time. A thing to remember is that some people play with blinders on, so if you don't tell them where the food is that they can eat, they just eat whatever is in front of them.

He was telling people off for most of his life, He even died telling people.

The truth is there's a lot of people that don't listen and even when they do its too late. Some kids even curse me out when I try to tell them stuff, usually the ones that get grannies full set of gear at birth.

But hey, The people did actually improve in the end and the town lived.
