I don't need more minutes and I really don't need more chars, but It's nice that those who do get an opportunity to earn points. :)

But please move that Credits : 0 line somewhere else, I always think it's my minutes who has become zero somehow. :)

As for useless chatter, I have a charrie in a location where nobody talks for days. It's very boring and I don't consider that in the least a "society simulator". You have to take charries like they are, just like in real life. A person who speaks once a day can irritate me as much as chatty people a good part of the day. Get to know your chatterboxes -- they may know lots of things about lots of people. :wink:

notsure :?

I think that too.

10 x 15 = 150 minutes. Wow, no wonder I have to spend so much time on Cantr. :lol:

I had been pushing for something like this quite a while when I was on the Marketing Department.
However... keep in mind it is April Fools day today.

I don't need more charries, nor do I need more minutes. This must be more geared towards the polish people I'm guessing?

What's the benifit for people that don't need either of those things to vote? Better charrie skills, or more definite knowledge of character skills? What's the point?
Reality was never my strong point.

Huh, on Polish forums voices can be heard that it's more towards the english people... ;)

It seems to have helped marketing on the English voting sites. Since a lot of them reset the ranking at the end of the month, we can see a sharp difference in our rankings from last month. Cantr II is in the top 10 or 15 of some sites where we were struggling to get into the top 50 last month. And no credit is even being given yet for voting.
I wish I could give exact numbers, but I saw no reason to keep track of them when I was looking at the game lists earlier this week.

Hm.... I just hope that the April's fools day joke will be about the "no such ID" which I seem to get now.... lol...
But anyways, I kinda liked seeing it in the messages recently, but it also undermined a marketing-idea I was looking into - still, if it's being set up that way, I can tweak my idea-in-the-making to work out well enough all the way.
In fact... it might even work out great with the referral-thing, with some ironing out of little bumps in my idea.
Hm.... let's see what I can whip up.

I have to express my strong disagreement. I'm against Extra chars and Extra minutes. Equality of the players was one of the main idea of this game... and now it's over. I predict that Cantr will soon become one of this stupid game in which we can BUY extra minutes or better things (like Commander in Ogame)
It's sad... :(

Extra minutes isn't really going to give an advantage to anyone. It's not going to make their projects go any quicker or let them travel faster.

Just means that they'll be more people on to talk to each other longer.....kinda like a real community.

Agent, don't worry too much about it. The amount of extra minutes that will be able to be purchased will not be a huge amount, and once they're gone, they're gone. You won't get an extra 100 every day or anything.

I just think it's a stupid idea. It's only the first step to make players better and worse. Peoples who have more free time will become preferential players. Moreover... I think this advertising actions will cause that appear only more "how-we-should-play" players.

On Polish board we have a poll. Crushing majority is against this idea.

Will it ever be publicly announced what the rates are for earning and using credits? As many people have said, that really is what will make or break this system - I'm against this on principle, but agree that it could have overall positive effects if done right.
