Green eyed redheads with larger than average breasts (even the males!) were the norm when I started.

I guess that was fashionable at the time.

I think I've only ever played one redhead.

Original has been removed, because I'm really embarrassed about everything. To summarize: this game is good, I just had a lot of anxiety attacks while starting out because I messed up a bunch and??? grapes

correction (about the original post): they were dropped, i just was absentmindedly repeating my friend who was joking about it.

Welcome!

Mistakes happen, even when you've played umpteen years. :) It can be fun to role-play around such things. I'd say don't worry about making mistakes, but I know anxiety is a hard thing to handle. Just know that mistakes are made all the time by everyone of varying experience, and it's just a little ripple in a giant lake.

You seem to have great potential, and I'd hate to see you give up! Feel free to message me with any questions you might have.

I've been playing this game for like 11 years and I still generally make an asshat out of myself on a regular basis. I went through a period once where I was accidentally pointing at things three times a day and having to RP something to excuse that. As recently as yesterday I've accidentally done the wrong thing.

We're a pretty chill community, especially to newbies. Some characters aren't forgiving, but the playerbase is. No worries!

And welcome!

Yeah, or when my son decides to play Cantr and then my characters say 'gfxcggccdfgggcz' and I have to RP that they are coughing or something.
Not to mention all the embarassing moments when my phone randomly adds some Polish word into an English sentence. So much for trying to play an English char without anyone knowing that I am not a native (well, it wouldn't work for many other reasons actually, but at least I didn't want people to know I was Polish...).

Do not worry, we all mess up. I have been playing for over a year and still feel like a bloody newbie.

I don't know what you guys are doing, but I certainly don't make any mistakes like that in-game. Nope! Not me! -strikes a pose- :lol:

jk.
I don't have kids, most of my Cantriing is done on my phone, on the occasions where I do Cantr on my laptop I am quite skilled at keeping cats off of me, I have multiple language dictionaries/keyboards installed on my phone (and autocorrect turned off), and I'm obsessive about making sure I'm saying the right thing to the right person with the right person. :D

Even so, I make mistakes. Sometimes. On occasion.
.....
I'll get back to you when I can find one. :shock:

It's been three years. Three whole years. The withdrawal symptoms are real. They don't fade in time. You win, Cantr. Here I am. Let's do this! :twisted:

Welcome back, I don't believe we ever had the privilege of playing together.

Perhaps our characters will meet and become the bitterest of enemies spuring generations of warfare and ill will between our legions of devoted followers.

Or perhaps I'll help you pick potatoes.

This is Cantr, the future isn't scripted.

I've already met some characters that are absolutely fabulous. The roleplay is real. Have you ever met one of those characters that are so awesome, you wish they were real? Just so you could hug them and squeeze them until their face turns blue? Or is it just me? :D

Welcome back and hope to meet your chars soon. I'd certainly hug some chars and have a drink with them. :)

Already recognise one of yours, Hedged. ;) Memorable style. Welcome back.
