Feral Heart

I wanted to put this on one of the existing threads, but I wasn't sure if it would really fit. I didn't want to start a whole new thread just for this, but it worries me enough that I feel something should be said about it.

Recently I've come across quite a few people using the word "gay" as a negative term. The people I heard it from seemed to otherwise act very maturely in the general scheme of FH, so this confused me. On every occasion where I heard someone say it, more or less immediately they were asked not to use it in that context by several other people. And on every occasion(yes, it was definitely different people each time, not just one goofy floof) the person laughed it off and asked how we could possibly find it offensive. The most recent one said "Hahaha ok, 'homosexual' then XD"
It confuses me to no end that anyone in this day and age, and certainly anyone who plays games like FH, could find it ok to do this and laugh about it. If some particularly impressionable younger player were to hear them doing it, they could very easily think "Oh that older person is doing it, so it must be ok."

I don't know, really. I might just be overreacting to an immature kid having a joke, but these people genuinely seemed not to understand what they were doing wrong by using the word "gay" as a derogatory term. Myself having many gay friends, and being very proud that my country has recently legalised marriage equality at last(New Zealand frick yeah!), it just seems like such a massive step backward that there are still people who think this way.
Thoughts?

This is essentially going to be a thread for sharing the times you've been on a herbivore character, and someone has assumed that you're ripe for the killing.
You know how it goes. You're just sitting there on your deer character, enjoying the atmosphere and watching people RP. All of a sudden some great beast runs up and instantly "kills" you, or begins hunting you down. No prior warning, not even time to RP back most of the time. All rather vexing to say the least, and enough to spoil anyone's good mood.

So, I'll start off with an experience I had just a moment ago.

I was in Bonfire(first mistake, I know) on one of my stallion characters, semi-afk, generally enjoying myself. A red and black character, a self-proclaimed "monster", lay next to me and I began a friendly RP with them. This is how it turned out.


Me: "May I help you, my good.." he looked the creature up and down. "...lady?"
Monster: for what
Me: "...I do not know. But since you lay so near me, I was under the impression you wanted something."
Monster: im just looking for food rlly i shriek slightly at the stally
Me: "I'm afraid I can't help you in that respect."

(at this point, a mare came up and started talking to me as well, making the whole situation rather confusing for a while as I was trying to talk to both)

Monster: siighs at stallion ur dinner now ((when im ur u respawn
Me: Uhh....you're not eating me. This isn't a prey character.))
Monster: im hunting srsly))
Me: And I don't want to be hunted. Find someone else.))
Monster: just go along with le rp))
Me: No.))
Monster: un role player
Me: I don't want to be eaten just because I'm a herbivore, you rude little monster.))
Monster: idc u tiny little mouse rat ):<00
Me: Not every herbivore character wants to be hunted and killed for your amusement. Ask first.))
Monster: I SAID U CAN RESPAW WTF MAN
Me: And I said I didn't want to RP being killed. Respect that.))


Ugh...people. After this they ran away, and a few minutes later they apparently saved a guinea pig from a fox...consistency, I can haz it? Nope.
It's bad enough being attacked for food, but what really gets me is when they act like you're a bad roleplayer for not wanting to be murdered. Great.

I'm currently making a set of maps loosely based around the theme of a wild Norwegian landscape. The map which started off this idea was a volcano crater, which I have already finished.

All I really need is a basic mountain terrain with a large craggy peak as essentially the whole thing. No fancy lake areas or anything, just your everyday large mountain.

You know the ice-textured cave in South Pole?
For a while, I've been wondering if you can just use the ground textures, put them in the right folder and slap 'em onto objects in the object maker.

If not, can somebody make me one? XD a cave, and a few different shapes of rocks would do.

So today I decided I was tired of starting fancy maps and losing inspiration half way through. This map is literally the most basic thing possible, it uses only the default FH items and it doesn't even have a height map. It might as well be a default FH map, actually O.o
At the end I decided to splash out and give it a custom sky and music, but I used things I had already made or added. Still, only took me a little over half an hour.
So yeah, this was me being super lazy
