Yeah, I agree, even though I think that quoote was a little out of context...he was talking about knowing how to RP to get things, not knowing how to RP, period. (or I would have to take offense and point out that 'you know you're an oldy when your sixty plus year old character just stands around town sleeping all the time and somehow is automatically respected despite being less active than your average newspawn.)

That would definitely be Cecile. :wink:

Yes, your quite right Seko.
What i should have said was.. you know when your an old hand when you could use roleplay to get your character a good start in life.

What i should also have said was......You can spot an oldie cantrian, by those keeping their chars like age trophy characters... which may as well be ghosts for half of them out there for what they actually add to the gameing atmosphere.
Yay be proud old players..Keeping those sleeping freaks alive holding keys and stock which could be used to advance Cantr. To me advancing and improving in game to make a lively working community is the real winning.
And your role developments are boundless against your imagination. Even with the contained limits of Cantr, or Cantr wouldn't still be going as strong as it is.. because all the roles would have been tried and tested and old hand. It's not the role it's the fun playing the role. Can you honestly say that playing a sleepy old freak with too much stock from all the passing dead and dropped amongst the years is a good one.
I admire those who still give there oldies energy and keep those around them active by their energy, but that is so often sadly not the case.

So YAY Lets cull the geriatric dusty sleepy freaks. Maybe if they havn't spoken for a year..then it's off to geriatric prison. I'm bringing that up in suggestions..i think it's about time we gave you oldies something to actually make you really want you chars and not just their age trophy titles. :wink:

There never really is a destination goal to reach in Cantr, there's always some way to make it better.(once we run out of ways, the departments make some more :lol: )
The truth is, if my leader is sleeping for years and she dies and I get the keys, a large part of me says "Finally!" Didn't seem like they cared much for Cantr after a while.
