4617-1.32: You consumed 58 grams of your rye bread.

And today... 4618-1.32: You consumed 352 grams of your rye bread.


Is this a joke? Or has someone just.. playing with numbers?

Your char is stick. And he/she must eat many than always, to recover.

Pretty surprising if you've been playing for almost two years and never had a sick character.

I'm sick? Wow, that's.. odd. I have been playing this game... something like 500 days now and I have had chars around dead bodies for days with no effect and now I am sick after being around one for.. one in game hour? This must be my lucky day

Anyway, good to know. I though this was a bug.. and been thinking getting sick is a myth :shock:

This is coming from someone who plays almost exclusively on his phone, so I know how useful it is. I just save extensive roleplay for when I'm on my computer and use the phone to read my events. It's also useful to keep my characters busy with projects.


That's what I try to do but it's kinda hard to just ignore cantr and wait till I'm on a laptop if everyone in town is arguing and my not intervening will cause it to get out of hand if mine is a leader or such, or if someone's like "you're taking too long I'm gonna walk to the next town and buy what I want from them" if you don't start a new project for them right after they finish the last one, or if someone's stealing or attacking someone and taking advantage of my character being "asleep", then I have no choice, and then I'm upset especially if someone is stealing my character's stuff or hurting people, so my typing and clicking gets even worse.. But to just say "I can't participate in this four hours of rp while I'm sitting here alone and bored with only my phone because I'll mess something up and annoy people" is like.. cutting off my own hand, seriously LOL I go insane when I'm forced to wait to play cantr, even when everyone's asleep, I never fail to miss important deaths and actions when I'm not staring at the character page waiting.

What I don't get is how I can make fifty typos but still go back and check and fix them before posting (though I still miss some at times) but there's other people who have no issue letting their typos run free like

You see so-and-so say: "wellllcoem to this town my nemrbrbis so abd ao and I'm the leadejr dj here#&$"

And not just once or twice but every single thing they say like the player can't see what they're typing or just never bothers to look. Do you even know how infuriating that is to those of us who try so hard to type correctly so the other players can understand what we're saying? Just why?

And speaking of, something that annoys me is how when I try to click the arrow to return to my character list, I always wind up clicking the out of character departments page link because it's so close to the button that even when I zoom in before clicking, it always registers the link.. just saying.. it always gets me.

I just ignore people that don't give me a chance to respond.

The increasing number of players who seems to be in need of taking a long break annoys me just as much as the increasing number of players who seem to not do anything with their characters except stand there and sleep.

I could sign this too.. Kind of sad since this is really great game! But lack of players really.. makes things less interesting

I'm just wondering.. can skill stats go down? Like, noticably? I've heard characters complain they got worse at something but I didn't know if that's roleplay or if their skills went down. If so, could I make a character worse at fighting if I had them hit during sparring with a small percent of accuracy and purposely miss every hit? Same with strength, just wondering if there are ways to make my characters who should be weak and bad fighters match their skills like I can strengthen my other characters.

So everyone keeps claiming, but I've never seen it happen and so I swear that's a myth. :P

The easiest way to notice this is by writing down the order in which your skills are shown.

Digging - Skillful
Mining - Skillful
Cooking - Skillful

In the above example, digging has more "skill points" than mining or cooking do. If you see the order change, it's because you're training them. The other obvious way to notice is of course when a skill goes from skillful to expert, for example. I've trained a skill I liked from efficient to expert.

It's definitely not a myth. Just can take a reeaaaalllly long time to show any improvement if one starts off right at the bottom of a particular skill banding. Like, building a raker from scratch, single-handedly, and when it's finished, shipbuilding is still the worst skill, stuck on awkward :(
