I think it just puzzles me...does a character's strength improve when they use a domesticated bird to hunt the same way it improves when just attacking with a weapon?

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. :roll:


I'm not even sure how to interpret those. Assuming a character does something without seeing the emote is kind of bad form. So I pretty much ignore those.

I take them as unconscious ticks as if they read like, "When his/er eyes meet anyone's, s/he flashes a sweet/soft/mischievous smile/grin/smirk too fast to have been voluntary."

I ignore them completely. Especially if the words "flirtatious" or "sexy" or variants of such are included.

When you emote that something you did can't be seen by a particular person, and they react to it anyway.

This irritates me. Some people don't like the feeling that their characters don't know something, I guess.

As a player, I wanted to throw him over the highest mountain so that he wouldn't be able to ever interrupt roleplay again. Alas, my character was only very confused, and did not know how to react.

That Donii song. It's the most popular poem/song in Cantr and it was taken from the internet.

Was it even adapted, or straight up ripped off?

This means we need to alter or rewrite that? Maybe a new order to old belief?

The part about the world being made out of her breast milk didn't give it away? :lol:

I suppose its length makes people skim most of it, but there's like a whole paragraph comparing her breasts to volcanoes spewing breastmilk like lava.
