Poll: Would like a way to NOT be Eve?

I know a lot of players (Like Wowma and Pein) say they don't like to be Eve. If there were a box in the settings that said "Play as Eve" (and if by default it were checked) would you uncheck that box? This box would allow you a *chance* to be Eve, you would not spawn as Eve most of the time.  If the box isn't checked you would NEVER spawn as Eve.

If enough people would use this that could increase the chance for Eve spawns for people who want it badly and help the people who are spamming die to feel like they can get a chance to be Eve without spamming us with dead babies.

So few people are Eve now that I don't think many people are Eve against their will.

Re: Poll: Would like a way to NOT be Eve?

I've been born to Eves multiple times who walk right in to mosquitos or who just stand there and starve and say "I don't want to Eve, sorry baby"-- It's hard for me to judge how common that is but when I did another poll there were a group of people who said they didn't like Eveing... People even talk about "Eve Hell" which never made sense to me since I feel like I don't get to do it enough (though that has been better since the recent changes) so it might be a more significant group that you think?

That's why I set up the poll. IDK if it's enough people to have an impact on the chances of a player being Eve.

If it's more than 20 percent or so it would make a difference.

Also the button could do a lot to give people a sense of "control" without really changing THAT much and still keep it random. You don't get to pick your next life. But, if you will always suicide as Eve (we have no way to catch this from data I think?) then you can avoid that one kind of life.

Re: Poll: Would like a way to NOT be Eve?

i mean i got to build new kilns generally cause somehow becomes a town center, so has it benefits but it just plain boring to spend 30 min to get basic stuff done, and not much difference from gen 2-3
i like gen 2-3 better cause i got more time and do stuff until i get kids or just take care of important stuff not basic stuff

the naming and the location can be interesting for some people

btw you should use something like https://app.crowdsignal.com/dashboard (needs a wordpress acount)
then you can show resultls instantly
or strawpoll

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

eves definitely need to be rare. 100 a day is already a lot imo.

Re: Poll: Would like a way to NOT be Eve?

Seems like enough people would un-check the box that it could help, though I'd love to get more people to vote in the poll... And as always this isn't a proper random sample of the entire player base.

Has anyone else been born to an Eve who didn't want to be Eve?
