Fantasy Cantr Government

[Surly]

I've not encountered any characters in the past two years that would measure up to the names mentioned 4 years ago.

Most towns are either administered by old, sleepy chars or by idiotic newspawns. Also, few towns have enough people to justify a government of more than two people.

NOTE: I also find the same players leading (very badly) a number of the towns I go to.

Oh, you old codger, you.

Mine do okay. Especially my oldest one. When he got in charge of a town only one other was there. Now more than two real years later there are more than 20 chars there. I also might need to add this is a mountain town surrounded by other mountain towns and only one place close with a food source. People stay because of my char mostly.

Oh, you old codger, you.

Obviously.

There may be an element of irritation from observing the towns I built up with previous characters decaying through incompetent leadership...

I agree that a lot of towns are badly managed.

The main problem is that those old chars do not trust newspawns at all (except a select few, which I suspect isn't entirely legit...) which drives those chars away and prevents population build up. Honestly, I think this also drives away more new players than most other factors... when you get a decent leader, you get larger more active towns. The correlation is no surprise.

Agreed... Especially leaders who ignore new spawns. Of course Leaders who are sleepers don't help as well. I notice with two of my chars who are in charge of towns and are very active and do not ignore people and always try to keep the town alive have many people living in it while the towns were as good as empty of people and resources when they started. And now more and more people are living there while the towns are not situated as well as a lot of others are but who have bad leaders and that ruins it those towns.

You guys made me say it. As a long time player, we found people to plug into this fantasy line up but I guess you young players now a days can't compare to the good ole days.

I'm not exactly a young player, Bowser.

For me, Cantr is a poor shadow of it's heyday 5-6 years ago. But I don't think it's constructive for me to say that.

[Bowser]

Yeah, now that I look at the posters, its the old folks saying how great the good ole days were, Arenti was ready to toss a few of his characters names in. We need to wait a day for others to put up some names.

[Arenti]

I'm sure that my char Arenti Trueheart can compare with the leaders from the good old days.

[Surly]

Looking back at those lists, I think there's a lot of nostalgia. There are a number of chars on this lists who I wouldn't put on there...

I do miss old Quillanoi though. That town was awesome.

[Arenti]

My char Drake Kras is also good. But mostly because of a lot of problems his town and his order didn't really get the chance of growing yet. Though people traveling that island told my char that his town is by far the most active on that island.

[SekoETC]

I think I'm good at playing leaders, even though they might occasionally spend days having sex, but even leaders deserve a break sometimes. It's inhumane to dedicate your whole life to work. I've had characters settle and rebuild a town from the ashes without too much effort, and no one has ever really questioned their leadership. Although it's more difficult to keep a town running after the rebuilding/starting phase is over and you have about everything. Newspawns will have needs but if you give them everything for free, they'll run out of goals to work towards.

[Arenti]

For me Cantr is mostly very active. (not at the moment of course ) But that is mostly because my chars won't let it get boring. A few sometimes threaten to take off their clothing and run around town naked. It does help to get people active. though mostly it is: No one say anything I want to see this.
