The first time that happened to my char I was beyond puzzled. Now I've come to expect it. For some reason the 99.8% annoys me more.

You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

How I feel playing Cantr:

119 users were active in the last 15 minutes (and 100 of these users are Polish).

I never saw it that way, but you're probably right.

During my first account, several years ago, I was able to play some at work. This go around it's not an option, which is kind of a bummer since my hours don't always jive with everyone else. But I try to make up for it when I can. I know that my consistency isn't as good, my role-play suffers a bit, but I've just got to let that be okay. I'm having fun again in the game, and I'm really happy to have found that again.

either make it so we can reach in and take some of the crap that's inside a jammed room out or make it so we can tear it down. jammed rooms are the most retarded aspect of cantr. ( i wouldn't doubt it if this has been said already )

I think it means lowering the voice to make a parenthetical statement.

I think you mean:

12345-6: You Say: I'm saying A. *lowers his voice* Says B.

Only more lazy. Yes?

No I mean:

12345-6: You Say: I'm saying A *lowers his voice parenthetically* and adding in B *then raises his voice back to normal* and now I can finish saying A.

Only more efficiently.

I think, often, when I see someone use the () thingies, I think it could be done perfectly well with just comma's...

The thing that made me write this was something like.. "... I'm saying A (and I'm adding something to A)! I'm saying B....


Besides that, you make some valid points, but it still annoys me... :? :)
