Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr

[sherman]

So I was lead to believe that Spawning was random in relation to where exactly you wake up. I was also lead to believe that spawning on Cantr island was fairly unusual (this might be an individual player's experience). I was definitely lead to believe that the town you spawned in was utterly random and you were unlikely to spawn nearby another character.
Can someone please explain why out of 5 characters, 3 have spawned on Cantr island and all pretty much on top of each other? It's going to be hard to keep them all totally separate unless some pirates fancy coming and whisking one off and the another heads off travelling on their own.
This seems to make very little sense given how random it's supposed to be... Just an observation...

You kinda answered your own question. IT's like that and.. Dice didn't favor you

I guess, but this just seems freakish. When I say 'on top of each other' I do quite literally mean a town or two away. Is there not some sort of programming to keep your newspawn characters away from existing characters? If not, there probably should be.

[sherman]

Not that I know there is. Sorry to hear you had such a bad luck.. It's really random and.. Now that random thing went to freakish result. Welcome to the game though and hopefully you enjoy your game despite.. not so good spawning

This isn't including dead characters, I definitely had a few of those on Cantr too but I've only just recently returned to the game so I don't remember where exactly they were. Since they're dead it doesn't exactly factor into my current games, only that I've had a slightly obscene amount of spawns on Cantr vs other people

The system tries I think 100 times to find a location that's not close to another character, but if it fails 100 times, it will default to one of the original fixed spawn locations, most of which are on Cantr island.

A better system would be if it first formed a list of all possible spawning locations for the language, then removed locations where you had characters, next their neighboring locations, and chose out of the remaining locations.

So I seem to be getting the 'defaut' spawn locations then, with only 4 existing characters there must have been somewhere it could have put my 5th other than Cantr. Grrr... Oh well, nothing I can do about it now I guess.

This discussion is kind of moot without knowing what "close to another character" means. In my experience it means two towns away, but I don't know how it's defined in the code.

EDIT: I continue to be annoyed with people who break the language learning rule. I'm convinced most people don't know it even exists.

[sherman]

I would say many rules need bumping up for somewhere better place. Yeah all agree on rules when we join but.. Really how many read those things like user agreement licence on programs? Terrible few I would guess.

The fact that you can't get drunk even when we have bar for that :/

censorship and corruption

When your char is being accused to be sleepy and inattentive just because you are awake at other times than another player. The world is bigger than you think.

The world being so big.
I think all the players of characters near mine, live at the other side at the world.
Is it asking so much to have people around playing while I play instead of having so much people talking just when I'm not near cantr?

Inequality in the town leader decisions based on favoritism and idiocy

There are in-game ways to take care of that. If you dare. And if you have a sufficient number of friends to take control and establish a town leadership that favors you and your friends, or caters to your what others might feel is your idiocy.

Sounds like real life.
