Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr

[Faith]

When characters have sex out in public in whisper... and you're the only one there. Then one of them forgets to whisper and you get an eyefull of it... and they've only just met...

This is against the rules of the game. The players doing this -must- ask to the players around them first.
Remember that there are minors playing too, so please, if you see this, contact PD.

[...] must be against the rules. Should I have reported them? O.o [...]

Yes, it is! Any time that a player is going to whisper any message of sexual content that could be overheard, they must ask the players around firts, and wait for their answers (of course).
So again, please, contact us.

Yeah, I agree with that. I always split my actions into a separate public post, but feel a bit weird doing so, because I never see other players doing the same... It would spice up those whisperfests quite a bit, though, if more people did that! Instead of a wall of whispers back and fourth, you'd see nodding, frowning, laughing... It would invite other people into the story.

I don't whisper often but when I do I do this. It drives me 'round the bend trying to figure out how to respond when someone emotes something very visible in a whisper to my character - keep up the bad form or baffle everyone by responding emotes out of whispers?

something that annoys me to no end, is when a character claims to love mine or whatever they think mine wants to hear, to keep mine from killing themselves, even if they've been through all sorts of trauma, my character tries so hard to keep living for this person, the person suddenly falls asleep. I can see other characters they play awake daily, but the other is "asleep" because they only said they loved my character to keep him trapped in a painful life. I could have killed this one and made a new, happy character, instead I have to RP MORE heartbreak and drama and pain, with an already traumatized character. That's so fun for me, playing a depressed character that makes me a depressed player because yours wanted to "save him" but you're bored with him already. Why do cantr characters save each other and then kill themselves just to spite them? It's so twisted and I hate it..

I've had a case of a somewhat downplayed version of this - nothing says 'stay' like a day of them telling you how much they missed you on your return followed by a year of them sleeping [/sarcasm]

Fortunately other things have improved somewhat, but this character has pretty much invariably been my most painful to play and that has hardly made it easier. Then again it seems everyone is sleepy lately, and I'm having a hard time bringing myself to wake up most of my own characters.

Even if there is one sleeper who have been sleeping years by then? How you can ask from sleeper really? Not that I would do but I like to mess with dot... hehe

I've known a few players who have had sleepers and still checked on them just about daily. The characters don't have to be awake for the player to be!

What's the point anyway to have char that just sleeps? Kind of... odd but that's just my opinion. If you check you could atleast put char work or something...

As horrible as the cycle is, it does say quite a lot about you as a player. It sounds like you go all put with your characters, even when it makes you uncomfortable as a player. I would love to meet some of your characters!

I really do, I've only lost one of my characters in 4 years of playing and it was against my will because he was slaughtered brutally while minding his own business.. but I'll play my characters as long as I can, as much as I can, they're humans with lives, I would never just kill one off because I was bored, or wanted a new character, or make one sleep forever when they're still alive. And even ones like this who are extremely messed up in the head, or physically, or are suicidal, I will keep alive if there's any reason to, I'll let people save them even if their life is awful and I don't wanna go through any more.. you have met one of mine actually, not sure about any others. But thank you =)

[Undine]

I have? You can't tease me like that; Now it's going to bother me!

[miirkaelisaar]

When they first met, they explored the Temple of the Elements in Kiii together =) if that's not totally obvious I can PM you LOL

[Undine]

Ah! Yes! This makes me so happy!

Yeah, that annoys me a lot too...especially if the character is over 70 and the player could set them to die now, but for whatever reason, doesn't. Instead, they leave the character motionless, not talking, not working. Sometimes they don't even get to the point of starving because the player keeps them fed (why?!) or some visitor takes pity on them looking 'hungry' and hands them food without asking about them...

Really bugs me.

[saztronic]

What is this? Is it a real feature of the game?

I want some calamari.

It's more of a joke, under the cathegory of fiction. But still makes for some fun roleplay trying to scare rookie sailors (:

[sherman]

Darn, I would have wanted to make some Kraken Sushi

Yes. If you don't receive an answer, you can't do it.

This, and further variations of this... I lost count of how many times I've seen this so far... It isn't cute, and being as widespread as it is, it's nowhere near original. It is in fact so mundane that it's up there with the curves in all the right places for me.
