Parenting: Rules (Tradition) & Goals

A suggestion to add more social glue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/OneLifeSuggest … and_goals/


Read the full post above, but basically you can pass down rules to young children when you hold them and say 'rule : x'. x could be

'kelderman forever' or 'we are peaceful' or 'sacrifice your first born son' like really whatever it is you want to pass down to the next generation. (with the presumption they will pass it down).

When they turn three they will have a (hidable) sheet with the top three rules they need to live by. Obviously there will always be those that ignore the rules (griefers for example) but I think most people would love this sort of guided role play.

Rules are filtered so only the top three will be put on the GUI sheet -- aka given to the kid (and put on their family tree page). Great grandmas ranks before grandmas, moms before cousins basically older peeps closer to the kid get more say as it should be. If two rules share the same rank then the first one given will stick.

Goals work in a similar way (they stop when you're three) except you only get two; they don't last forever (like maybe 30 years); and you aren't expected to pass them on.

Things like...finish the wall; find us oil; replenish the berry farm ect.

Re: Parenting: Rules (Tradition) & Goals

I like the idea of being able to type something out before hand, save to a sort of hotkey, and being able to quickly regurgitate the information.

Cultural norms, rules and stories the child would reasonably learn within their first few years of life(that they don't right now because time is precious and BBs are unexpected). Feature would help make up for the fact time is moving 525,600x faster than in real life by letting us essentially hand them a list of "things you need to know" that they can read while they wait to become 3.

Re: Parenting: Rules (Tradition) & Goals

I think anything that aids communication and culture is a good thing in OHOL.   Time is our most valuable commodity.  It is hard to find time to talk with each child when you might have five or six babies in the span of thirty minutes.    That's only five or six minutes per kid, if you are lucky.
