Multi-limbs and portals

There was a time, a real long time ago, where I'd rp'd a char who had lost his arm in a battle. No one had a problem with it.

Yes but that's of course possible and not hard to believe. I would also have no problem with that.

But why is it so hard to believe someone with an extra arm? Or a race of people that have 4 arms. This is one of the characteristics of RPing.

Now for a man to have 3 arms, as a birth defect, I see no problem with it:

Now that is something we could RP if we wanted too.

See one extra arm no problem. But four is already going too far. Every char is the same race. An humanoid.

Oh come on, it's from the healthy green glow from the Cantr screen.

That is only because no one has really tried to introduce race in the game. This can be done through RPing, which is fun, but it could also have been done through selection at the time you create your char. Not that you chose their race, but that you can chose something like their skin color. But as for now, it would have to be RP'd. And I see nothing wrong with it. Just as long as someone doesn't rp some three headed green person with spikes on his back. That's is just poor RPing

I think that by perusing the descriptions of clothing (nevermind the pictures in the wiki), you can get a pretty clear picture of what a character in Cantr looks like. They have two legs because shoes are made in pairs. They have two arms because gloves are made in pairs.

I think it's fine to RP something not working, such as blindness or deafness. It's clearly not okay to RP something extra like ESP because you have another character in the next room or you read about something in the forum. And, to me, it's also not okay to force someone to "sense" something like being blinded by your character or something not programmed into the game.

Crickets and mosquitoes... meh. Tides and the sun, go for it. I'd even say gravity is a given. But to go as far as to say that you've just spawned as a inter-dimensional half-octopus is going too far.

When it comes down to it, Cantr is a society simulator, not a fantasy simulator. It's all about the interactions between people, not how crazy of an idea you can come up with.

Have you got links to three or four-armed adults?

Also, the fact that somewhere was born a three armed boy doesn't really mean there must be one ingame. Half of my chars would kill him and the rest would lock him as a freak.

All I was saying is that if it's so hard to believe of it being possible...here is a photo. As for adults...In this day of age, when people like you would call them "Freaks" This is why they have surgery... Surgery that could end up killing them.

I am not saying that it's okay to RP a man with 4 arms or 6 arms. I'm not saying that it should be deemed normal. But why can't a char have a birth defect? Why can that not be allowed? And I also mentioned races. There is nothing in Cantr that tells you that all chars are of one color

[Slowness_Incarnate]

Three..four arms? Thats an out there...sort of notion. I mean I have a character who is albino, but that is conceivable if you ask me.

[Dudel]

This is going to be fun. I can rationalize ALL OF THIS! XD

First: Clothes can have holes and people can choose to go bare foot. The game mechanics also don't say "2 shoes" they say "shoes"... as with gloves. We ASSUME them to be in pairs.

Second: Living through massive oddball birth defects to adult life CAN happen but is rare.... and if it becomes common then you have an evolution of people and it's instead rare/bad/freakish to have 2 arms... whatever/ect.

Third: Society simulator... and this one is easy. Who's society? Ours? If it IS then let such "freaks" be purified in game... until giving a rule (like how no multilingual newspawns). Then again, it's jos' society so lets ask him and get that rule.

Forth and Final: Person, in general, are crazy as is. Be they looking crazy or acting crazy I honestly see no difference.

You said it better than I did lol.... I have been playing Cantr off and on for a long time now. I find the imagination of others refreshing. Someone wants to try out having a birth defect or of being another race that they them selves have made up and that this race can turn people (Much like vampire or warewolves) well I say let them...but they can't be from RL....use your imagination. Combine some things to make something new...bring entertainment to the rest of us.

[EchoMan]

Maybe you assume, I read...

a pair of tiny sparking diamonds in silver settings, which go through each earlobe (two earlobes)
a pair of leather shoes ... (two feet)
a pair of bracers covered in a dense layer of overlapping feathers (two wrists)
a pair of bell-bottom leg warmers ... (two legs)
a pair of thick hemp gloves ... (two hands)
a pair of spectacles with a sturdy iron frame ... (two eyes)
a strip of hemp cloth tied around the head to cover both eyes (one head, two eyes)

enough "twos" for you?

And there are plenty of these, I just put here an example per body part. There are also references to "the upper torso" etc, so cantrians shouldn't have more than one of those either.

Anyyone remember the wolf-man on K-isle? He lived for a long time and most were saddened when he was killed?

[Arenti]

I don't have a problem to rp with strange chars. It keeps things alive, but there is a limit. And this person has gone beyond that limit in my eyes and not just a little. Again I have no problem with chars that rp differently, it gives often the best rp.
