I used to be a farmer. good luck on your village though ^^
Really? I actually enjoy this method of LP gain much more; All roles are able to contribute curiosities to the game, and botting has basically been eliminated. Theres no more 1000 unarmed bots going around beating the tar out of everyone now.
The new curio system is much more friendly to non-botters. LP is pretty easy to gain if you have curiosities too; I probably make around 50k LP a day, maybe more

Man what the hell. I had a dream last night where I was playing haven and hearth with TL. Somehow we pissed off the koreans so they challenged us to a 4v4 vs MC, MKP and 2 other guys and they destroyed us. I flashed back to our TL village and it was underwater and everyone was dead. I spend too much time reading these forums -_- I've never even touched haven and hearth.

What kind of person would dream about Korean ownage and not think of Boxer. FAIL.

On my first day of playing in W5, I was slowly building myself a boat by a river when someone sailed by and queried whether he'd get his boat stolen if he picked some blueberries nearby. I replied in the negative; he came back some time later with some fox meat as a gift. We became kin. His/her name was Freedom.
I never saw or heard from Freedom again after that (in fact, my character died pretty quickly so I lost the kin list anyway), but I'm kind of shocked to read your story, slowmo. I suppose I'm glad that Freedom didn't come track me down, since I'm pretty much exactly like the helpless farmer Freedom shat on.
Hooray for dark ships passing each other in the night.
Part of me thinks, oh, what a masterful bit of roleplaying Freedom has done there. Another part of me is sad and naive and feels bad when people are mean to each other. I'm getting all philosophical here. Why should I play this game as an escape from real life if it's actually worse than real life? If I quit because my vision of a happy hippie commune will never succeed, does that make me a failure because I didn't try hard enough to make one? Why am I drawn to this game, anyway? I play it nothing like you guys. But I suppose RL is the same way and everyone's different and uses their different talents in different ways.
I'm playing with a couple of real-life friends. Our w5 experience is very different from yours, since we keep to ourselves.
- Spawned in the world. Made plans for a palisade that was way, way, way too big. Got seeds and a cave. Finished 1/2 of the palisade. Got murdered by some random people (no explanation, no other griefing/destruction of material goods, no taunting even). This was the area I met Freedom at, so I wonder how far we are from each other.
- Spawned new characters at that location and walked very very very far east. Created a smaller (but still rather largish) palisade. Farmed happily. However, we did not claim the whole thing, and are also incredibly unlucky, so some random person spawned inside our palisade. We logged on one day to find a penis drawn on our field and everything destroyed by a fresh character.
+ Show Spoiler +We put grass over it, but you can still see its outline! lololol
We call that village Cocksville now.
- So we moved again; not as far this time. For version3.0, the palisade is quite small and is completely claimed. We have all the seeds from WWWs and are slowly raising their quality. We have a cave but no strength to mine from it.
I wonder how many other Team Liquid forumgoers are still actively playing on their own, or if it's really just you guys.
Thanks to your post, I'm trying to figure out why on Aiur I'm playing Haven and Hearth so much. So many griefers are drawn to this game.
What are my goals? Just to have a cute farm in the midst of a dangerous world, for the thrill of the risk vs. reward gamble? One of my initial goals was to make a Communist paradise just to annoy the creators of the game since they're such flaming libertarians (and say things like "environmentalism is a scourge upon the earth" ROFL). Blah blah blah vigilantism blah blah Robin Hood bla blah court system blah blah benevolent dictatorship blah blah cooperation justice blah blah. But I'm not powerful enough to defend myself, let alone attract others to my commune. I suppose I should sink points into unarmed. I suppose I should be much more focused about getting curiosities, and I should make "get strength to mine" a priority. We're only playing with 2ish people, though.
Do you guys play with alts? With the curiosity system as it is, I feel like I should be grinding bark boats for 10 alts at a time, but I don't want to play a game like that.
Thank you for keeping a journal, though, Slow Motion. It's quite entertaining and your candor is refreshing.

No, we do not play with alts; They're just too damn tedious for us to put LP on; we're also starved for curios without alts, and alts would make it worse.
You guys should find where you are on the world map. If you're close by, we'd be happy to provide protection.
We have around 5-8 active people, i think.

Did alot of curiosity searching + crafting last night. Should be enough to hold us for a day (LAWL). But ya... we need an explorer that just does curiosity searching.
I enjoy exploring but I'm spread out too much as it is.
|
I love exploring!!!
I found my old old location: http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/?x=-14&y=-25&zoom=8
It's between the anime girl and the kirby. Dunno who made them. I've wandered by the Kirby ingame (but only have seen the anime girl via the algeralith map).
I'm still looking for my current location. You'd think it would be easier to find since I know I'm north and east of my old old location x_X
Where are you guys?

Ha, sorry! I sent a pm to KtheZ
Looks like quite the adventure yall have had (:

Hi everyone,
I'm a new member to the village. I have been helping with foraging, we never have enough curiosities to study, and cooking. We could really use some new recruits, but the real reason I'm posting is to give an update on the village. It's been growing very rapidly and I have some BIG images to show it off.
This is our village on the minimap. We expanded the palisade, so the old part of the village is the square in the middle top, and then outside of it you can see how we expanded the walls of the village
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DN8Ly.jpg)
This is the developed part of the village. We've moved the livestock and the farm outside, and we've been paving the main square of the village. We're adding on more every day.

nice, nice! I'm eager to join and can't wait to start playing with yall (;

So... our cave entrance to the iron cave has been taken over by a village.... I noticed that a member of the village holds onto at least 1 of the keys to the gate because he used it to go in/out of it.... dunno what we want to do about this predicament.
|
ooh i'd love to join if at all possible, as things sit right now i spend most of my time foraging for things anyway, I could definitely help out with that.
right now my char has about 25 exploration and 12 perception, 15 survival 15 marksmanship and should have about 20k unspent LP the next time i login

No problem! I already had a chat with whoever that village is.
Just use your mining base like normal, and try not to kill anyone if you see them :X

Alright guys, I think its time for us to transition into a lifestyle of only raiding. I've noticed that many of us have stopped playing the game, most likely due to boredom.
What I'm proposing to you guys, my fellow villagers, is a transition for our sedentary lifestyle into one of pure destruction.
Of course, I need too assign some people the role of "raid scout" and have them stake out potential targets, as well as build palisade cornerposts in inconspicuous areas and extend them to the enemy walls, and build a ram.
Seriously, lets stop being so bored of the game and start killing people.
We play this game for FUN.
