One Hour One Life Forums

This game is more of a social experiment than a game so the comparisons to real life are entirely appropriate.

Edit: Killing a mom that wanted you dead is not greifing, killing all women and stealing tools is. Very different!

No rights are guaranteed. Just like your right to live after failing me as a mother. Also remember I said "probably kill you". In your case, maybe not. Remember, OP blatantly ignored her surrounded by so much food he could waste it to teach. He failed to teach rule #1: All life is precious! She deserved her revenge, I applaud her.

Lets face it, if you stood there and watched your kid starve to death in real life because you were busy, you would be frying on the electric chair. Few crimes deserve it but that one does.

Wait, you're choosing to murder innocent babies AFTER THEY ARE BORN because it's inconvenient and I am the one with issues?

Don't you understand the purpose of this game is an experiment on how you treat others? You just got a mark in the naughty column

I think some cross life benefits are in order too but Jason is pretty against them (but we can keep asking!). That's why single life benefits to being productive might be a good trade for now.

Exactly. So keep making and ringing those bells!!! Ding Dong!

If there wasn't an unknown in town they would have killed you for stealing a berry. Killers don't need a reason to kill.

Make bells. Ring bells. Follow bells. It's the only way.

Don't fear the bell for it does not bring death. Death is simply inevitable.

Fist off, great job getting this data and making sense of it. Here are the conclusions I have drawn:

- If you randomly end up on high level servers you will never see your tree grow past a few hours. Bad experience for new players.

- Birthing people to servers based at all on load is bad. All servers should be used at all times.

- Eves should be evenly distributed across all servers so each server has roughly the same number of bloodlines at a time.

- Factors to consider when spawning (by weight) to ensure fair distribution: Last Birth, Generation Number, Highest Tech

Civilizations never fail due to not procreating enough but in this game its what gets 99% of advanced civilizations.

If a town is not close to lots of good temp tiles I will suicide because it has 0% chance of long term survival.

It used to be that without at least 10 ponds it was futile but now even three is OK if there are more in road building distance. Buckets were the real game changer.

Also, don't expect to beat the 288 record. That was done on an empty server by people coordinating on Discord and letting anyone not in their group die to avoid greifers.

I like where you're going with this. Instead of women scores to decide who gets a girl each lineage can have a score based on the skill of spawned players in the past hour, this way each line is likely to get some good players instead of all new players. This will help lines live longer and help new players by ensuring there are skilled players in town to teach them.

I think this is the main point to focus on however the proposed solution may not be ideal because as Azrael points out, life should not be fair and this is a "make it fair" change.

The reality is few civilizations fail because there aren't enough girls to carry on a line (usually overpopulation kills) however in this game it seems the vast majority of lines fail because there aren't enough girls.

Maybe we can put our heads together and find a way to make life unfair but the end not so predictable.
