Cantr II Discussion Forum

The last names I have seen in the Cantr games are

丁
洪
古
牛
朴
吳

I only seen some of these Xings before in RL, and if you seen for surnames in the Cantr Zhongwen, then list them here, its interesting to know them.

I know that 丁,洪,朴,吳 are true last names in real life.....although 朴(a.k.a Park) is more popular in Korea. Im not sure about the others, 古 and 牛 are real....

洪
朴
and one other...

I guess I have not run into many characters yet... I guess that's because my characters are moving all over the place.

my one and only chinese charrie started a map, I've dropped one edition so far, only 3 locations, but it's a start

Im naming alot of places, and dropping pictures thats say "Welcome to XXXX Village" in a pretty Chinese font : D

good for you, Lychee it will make going to places easier...

By the way, any of you invited anyone else to play yet?

I think I have only seen 吴 and 林 being used so far, but most people around my characters aren't talking much. I am a cultural purist so my characters don't generally get full names. My first character simply adopted the family name of the other two characters around him. It would be cool to get a clan or family structure going, but I will have to see where the game takes us!

My characters tend to be settlers and builders, so they haven't moved and explored much yet.

And I invited my labmates to try it out, but they said the game sounds boring.

Sorry, I can't invite much people. theres like hardly any Chinese speakers I known, execpt some 婆婆's and 公公's.....and some annoying Chinese babies.

I have identified "牛"是真正的姓.....我找到百家姓(Hundred Family Surname)

The below are are the 100 most Common surnames (2006)...So there are more, but you can choose your charries last name from here : )

I tried to find the old vs(10 century) but its in poem.... so this is the 2006 list.

hmm... this could come in handy, yes I would be interesting to start up like a clan or something, I tried getting a friend to play, well I said to start in the english zone just to get the feel of cantr then start on the chinese zone, but I don't think she gets the concept of text based rpg and rping with out all the visual stuff like say Final Fantasy and games like that, so I don't think she'll be playing. My other friend, who has like perfect chinese understandingness, she's really busy and isn't very interested in computer games.

Torkess,

Remember when you play, your character is not suppose to know anyone or anything from Real Life or from your other characters ... so trying to organize a clan via friends from Real Life is a no no...

oh, I wasn't going to do anything with. I guess that last post was a bit confusing, with all those commas. Sorry.

I've began noticing a trend with charries who have no surnames. o__o

So far I've been naming all of my characters (with one exception) "小黄", "小王", "小红", etc.

I'm not very creative on names
