"Subhuman faggot" and "You're barely even human" are the worst in my opinion.
I don't think they should have said these things (especially the slur, like come on, we've talked about avoiding it in discord before). Then again, bragging about ruining someone's gaming experience is never going to attract positive responses, you should know that.
I don't think you can get them banned for that, but you can expose them and block them.
Dude. It's a video game forum. Something some of us do to zone out and relax.
Wanting this to be a place where we can share funny stories about how we had a baby while we were on shrooms and named them Tripp, or to talk about efficient farming, or other actually game related content instead of a toxic shithole is hardly making anybody a SJW on a war against free speech.
Exactly. There's just no excuse for hate speech or politics on this forum or the discord server, and especially not "get used to it jeez".
It's not that hard to think for a second before you come here and write all your great opinions on Hitler, refugees, chinese people or the LGBT community. It really isn't that hard to understand that, even if you have freedom of speech, there is no reason for you to use that to harm people and be inappropriate.
Just talk about the game, you guys.
Don't take it seriously. Some are joking, some are xenophobes you should just ignore. People who can communicate in English are totally accepted in the community, no matter where they come from. The problem is the arrival of non-english speaking players.

I don't think it needs to be too complicated.
Temperature seems like the most sensible simple metric that captures a lot of other factors.
The other thing that was mentioned briefly was length of family line so far.
I will think about "distance from a male." Every village keeping at least one male around....
Though this doesn't help with Eve so much, and also flies in the face of a decision that I made years ago for good reasons. This should NOT be a game about mating and consent and all that nonsense---if you don't want to have a baby and some griefer male keeps following you around anyway,
Contraception

Abortion. Adoption. Feed the kid to a hungry bear to appease the mushroom gods. Throw him in an atomic powered Soylent green machine to provide food for the town. There are so many solutions to this problem.

You give us problems, we'll come up with the solutions.
You'e giving solutions to how to deal with the baby. The problem Jason was highlighting is the implementation of what is, essentially, a rape mechanic. He doesn't want that, it's way too serious. As he said, it doesn't have to be as complicated as it is in real life. You also can't just claim that you'll find a solution for rape and sexuality in this game when there aren't even any in the real world yet. That's just utopist.
Really fake though.
I did leave, but I got bored and couldn't find any stones so... yeah... no Clyde worshipping. Sorry.
A Karma system is definitely a bad idea. It means every player will have a score that is metagame, that applies to them outside of each life they live in the game. This is a problem because every single life should be unique, with no ties to the last one and nothing coming from these past lives (such as your crimes). We can't have that because it would ruin the idea that each experience is different and unbound from all others tou have had beforehand as well as will have afterwards.
Besides, people would start judging each other based on their karma scores, keeping only certain babies, or creating groups for people with some good scores only
I think I've played with you before lol.
GJ!
Now make even mooooore!!!
No.
Finding an abandoned village should be incredibly rare and considered a treasure. I also find that there are two types of people. One type that is ok doing menial task for the sake of furthering the family line. The other is the type that dosent want to contribute to the bigger picture but instead wants to start their own. Id suggest adding an option to spawn as an eve or a baby. Also to stop people from suiciding as a baby to get to a better life make the baby unable to break from the holder until they are a certain age.
At which point they would probably still kill themselves. Age won't change much.
This has been worrying me recently. What if people start to make groups outside of the game and try to join in-game like some kind of guild. What if they only keep children who belong to the group and let the others go. That would ruin all the immersion, since they would no longer have random lives... always playing together, communicating outside of the game.

Nice quote, this game has no government and constabulary.
No military forces.
Therefore it is like the wild "lawless" west where everyone had a weapon for self defense.
It is just the cry baby pacifist types who do not understand, it seems, that some poor soul has to carry a weapon to keep their sniveling person safe.
Someone has to take up arms to defend those who won't, sometimes that person abuses their power.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase found in the work of the Roman poet Juvenal from his Satires (Satire VI, lines 347–348). It is literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?", though it is also known by variant translations.
Thank you to all the good members of the Military and Police services that bear arms and lay down their lives for the rest of us.
Oof, your tone is very pro-gun right now
I think it's harsh to dislike your mother just because she didn't want you. They don't always want or need a child and have something better to do with their current life. As such, they won't have to time to care for a baby, which is understandable.
Of course, it doesn't mean you have to help her with anything. However it also doesn't mean you should hold any negative feelings towards her.
I would love to help you out with the French translation as a fellow français haha
You really Need a therapist. Quickly.
Says the one who wrote an entire post about how they were going to become a murderer too lol
