I started playing cantr 8 to 9 years ago, and my characters are mostly about that old too. I joined cantr because I was tortured, abused, sexually humiliated and molested for most of my life, and needed an escape before I killed myself, that's how much it means to me, if not for cantr I might not have made it and gotten over some horrible issues because I didn't have any friends or mental health access at all. (Now I've had therapy and I'm doing okay, but still)
So just let me say that when your character kidnaps mine and terrorizes them, and forces me to stay online because your character will kill them if they sleep too long, and you sexually humiliate them the exact same way people did to me, this game isn't fun at all, I won't be able to enjoy this game again until En is dead, she terrorizes half my characters because they live on the coast and I can't just uproot them. I'm sick of having to get up in the middle of the night irl to make sure someone didn't just snuff out a character I worked on for almost a decade, and in real life when someone is sleeping you just wait for then to wake, you attacking my character to wake them unrealistically is ooc trying to force me to get online 24/7 to appease you the player and that is not cool.
Furthermore En is now contributing to the shearing of population, towns that had active happy people are all sleepers now because you interrupted gameplay so hard they just gave up on the game, it doesn't make it better, my towns were finally back on their feet from the population drop and now they're gone again. And honestly, no matter how many times you argue it, I can not fathom a good person deriving pleasure from playing sick and twisted characters like this. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night causing that sort of undue grossness upon characters who are played by other humans. I understand crashing your coaster on roller coaster tycoon, but we are humans behind these characters and your En Kell shows a huge disregard for the human minds behind these screens and how we might have been enjoying this game for years before this unnecessary stuff ruined all we worked on. It's not just about drama and plot line when you're playing with other people, at a point you have to understand the other people aren't having any fun because it's non stop terror, and you might be taking it too far. If i wanted an exciting deadly scary game, I would play a horror genre game and not cantr. I joined cantr for an open world rpg with creative and simulator properties, not for a slasher torture cannibal holocaust game.
Firstly, I am sorry that you feel that way.
However, Cantr is a game that allows for characters to be killed. It allows for players to roleplay out graphic or violent acts (with the consent of both parties). I've expressed this sentiment before, and I will do so again--why play a game that allows for those things if you don't want any part of them?
As for me being a sick and depraved individual--that's really honestly hurtful, and I think you know that. If you're so invested emotionally in a
game that you can no longer distinguish between the character and the player, that's an issue. I'm not En. I am, however, a writer.
Would you say that Stephen King is a psychotic murderer because he writes them? Or, for a more apt example, would you say that every single Cantr player to ever play a murderer is a RL sociopath?
I've discussed killing characters already, so I'm not going to repeat what I've said. But a good player, and a good writer, should be able to use their characters' experiences--good and bad--to shape said characters' personalities. Development. Growth.
