If you want to praise someone when they will obviously know which CHARACTER is behind the praise;
You can use myself as an intermediary mod for Anonymous praising.
Just flip a pm to me... or even any other player that you are confident will be around and available to post for you.

"Anonymous praise for...{fill in the blank here, add any other comments you would like}...


Really its a simple copy/paste for us.

I am here most every day... depending on Mathew.

Since the act of changing clothes takes basically no time in-game (unless RPed otherwise), my brain has apparently chosen to assume that all characters are automatically capable of flashy anime costume changes.

Or at least, the same kind of insta-changing-clothes that seem to be standard in pretty much any video game, I guess. But I like the first thought better.

Years ago, Coventina taught me that "feeling okay" and "feeling better" are two completely different things.

Well, how can we design one with an engine... originally I thought they were going to be hang-glider engines.


But apparently it was voted down.

When you have a char create a concept, be it business, religion, empire, and others follow along. Especially when it grows outside of yours. It's the most basic tenant of Cantr, but still the most thrilling for me.

When you have a character lost at sea alone, because the others all died and was not a sailor, stumbling through some foreign areas, getting lost again, then again, wanting to die, but desperate to find land first to someday be found and buried properly, then FINALLY finding a port to dock to, and seeing <insert animal here> for the first time as a player, and almost SQUEEEEEing in real life, for the OOC awesomeness of being able to adopt one... then thinking Hmmmmm, ok, um... what's my characters motivation for doing so? Aha! Companionship instead of these other dead bodies on board! Whew. LIFE RENEWED!! ;)

that's not TOOOOO crb-ish is it?!

One of my characters has been traveling in the Polish areas recently and today I had to stop myself from using Polish in random other characters' speech because only the one can speak it. Still, I'm entertained that I am beginning to get a grasp of another language. I think, anyway.

Trying to find a place on the map that no character could ever actually see. My char did find a spot that can only be seen with a telescope, while being halfway on a road. Really marginal. :shock:
I think ...

I remember there was a triangular area on the Finnish region that could not be seen from any location (nobody had optical tools). The map maker who discovered it assumed there would be a location inside the triangle, but no roads lead there.

I began playing on the day 4208, years ago. Was off and on the game, after that. And now that I've come back, just this week... I notice one thing.

Hide clothes are still being worn. Goddammit, guys, I thought we went over this?!

They're easy to come by and practical! You'll never take my hide clothes away from me. :P

Hey, when you've got nothing else, you've got hide, sinew and bones to make tools so you can cover up your naked bod. Cantr 101.
