Re: Why Cantr failed

I see so many people who quit the game and for so many different reasons, lately.
Some of them weren't able to see the self-destructive side of OOC-Cooperation until it's too late and they ended up regretting each line they write for their revealed characters. Because it's never as magical as it was when people know the wizard behind the curtain.
Some of them escaped from the OOC harassment on Forum and Discord.
Some of them did quit because of the OOC induced Mary Sue or bitch factor. Not being a Mary Sue doesn't mean being a bitch and in Cantr, bitches became a new uniform which gets more boring every day. Besides we have a growing army of factory-made character archetype "Hello, I'm 21 years old and so sad because I lost my fiancee (Wow! When?) maybe you can comfort me in your strong arms. *G&W*"
I agree with Curious on his hypothesis of the newly invented player motivation "winning the game", just because I can't come up with a better explanation and I have no idea how to stop it.
