One Hour One Life Forums

The forums are a place to discuss/debate suggestions

I think that could be neat, it would encourage more cisterns as farms cycle through areas not to close to wells.
In addition, I have to note that a fair few allergies and intolerances are somewhat caused by humans not walking barefoot across certain terrain any more. A branch of homeopathy has people use a small amount of parasitic worms that are found in abundance in natural land that our ancestors would've been subject to in excess; causing problems for them. However it came with the side effect of increase the immune system to resist certain things such as peanuts.
Perhaps in order to prevent early stage civilizations from having too many children who are allergic/intolerant they are exempt unless most of their life is spent with shoes on or on roads.

I like wrangling wild horses too, will adopt this practice.

I dunno, I've been thrown into the brig on Space Station 13 enough times to know it's not horrible getting a time out in a multiplayer game, and so many other players can deal with >8 minutes punishment on that.

Could a compromise be a tether that allows you to move within a radius of 4 tiles while still having full actions within the 8tile^2 surrounding it?
That way, you can feed punished members by placing food down at the edge of their radius without getting stabbed, and they can surrender by putting their knife down before the timer ends. If they don't want to give up their knife, that opens them up for being cursed and killed.
As a bonus for disciplining them, anything they didn't make/harvest that isn't a clay bowl or food cannot be picked up for the following ten minutes. This in particular doesn't bother players who got griefed by someone putting them in time out, but for people who are problems it inhibits the damage they can do.

Hey, speaking of the Boops... One hour later I lead my brother, Momo Boop II to a mine I made, with a couple of horse and carts. If you see this, thanks for wanting to help, I'm sorry for whatever reason you got of your horse before you made it back to town... I found your horse before minutes before I found your remains, perhaps you died from starvation while you rode, perhaps you got off to chase a unicorn. I can't help but feel responsible. I rescued your horse, took your clothes back home and buried you. RIP brother.

Instead of trying to consolidate a fair bit of this feedback, I'll link back to the thread in the reddit post so if Jason looks at the suggestion on reddit he can consider all this - after all it's some pretty nice feedback, so thanks guys.

Maybe adding a steel mining pick head could make a kissing gate, creating what Jk Howling describes.

I really dislike setting out on my interests for the round and then people telling me I seem to know what I'm doing and work hard followed by throwing a knife/crown down for me

Having said that, there is certainly a caliber that are worth handing over such things, and with only one hour to find them, you have to be a pretty decent judge of character and on top of that a lot of people who get crowns just continue with what they're doing anyway. I've been guilty of doing that before kind of ashamedly putting the crown down by the fire for someone to take over sometimes.

I just had a round where I turned down the crown my aunt tried to give me due to helping build a road out of the city to setup a well - and that would minimize my time ruling/protecting the city. However my mother also nominated me so I reluctantly delegated the task to another player. That was actually one of the best rounds I played as with a clear goal passed down by my elders I could tour the city to delegate workers so that the project could be facilitated easily. Walking up to people and asking, "Hey ____, are you busy?" was eye-opening as to how a crowned person can redirect the energies of the city to accomplish things on a big scale. It's kinda funny how you get nine rounds with no ruler effecting your life and then occasionally someone being the "protector" is worth both your and the city's time.

"Disgusting", "Ugly", "Trash" and other insults are also not in the name and that makes me sad. I understand why, but just imagine people trying to legitimately get your attention by saying "Hey Ugly!"
Trying to call my babies things like this only poisons them against me once they get assigned a friendlier name. I wonder why...

That's a real good tip! Even more reason to keep the pen close to the kitchen so that it isn't very costly to setup the meat shuttle.

Fair enough. It's about as early access as Path of Exile for instance.
Big plus is you don't get cynics of games tagged as early access withholding their money for a few months waiting for it to come out, only for Jason to stop developing it at the end of the planned two years and marking it as "finished" and then the player base experiences entropy at an increased rate because of the updates ending.
