Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
When you get a character all set up in a fancy new location, get a fire pit built, and are struggling to tame a hawk to help hunt because wood's scarce, and you have just a knife... and ALL planned out how to survive long-term at this location with food... and die from Wolves and Bears in the funniest string of "Animal attack" over consecutive hours while you slept... then a Bear finishes you off when you forget to come inside after the project tick. Alas!
Maybe it sort of amuses me too... though.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
I lost internet for 4 days and each time I was able to connect, all my characters were light up and tons of things happened.
I get internet back, nothing happens. Not a single active character.
Why, oh, why??

I wonder if people are going to spend more time with their families on Easter and ignore Cantr.

Or maybe it's time zone difference.. Europeans seem to be minority (well polish are active but how many outside of Poland speaks polish)

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
As I said, last days it was quite active, so I don't think it's time zone.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
You feed a starving stranger in an isolated place, you simply tell that you need wood and point at a ship waiting there. He doesn't wake up so you start breaking the ship's lock. He wakes up and you kindly ask and try to talk again in the different langauages, you barely manage prying a name from him. You consider that's his ship and give him iron for the lock replacement. Despite of your best efforts he walks away to a random direction so you start working to get what you wanted before. When you've almost finished the project he comes back, he says nothing but attacks you and takes the ship away, leaves you nervously laughing in the both worlds.

Knowing what you want a character to look like but not having the faintest idea how to go about describing them despite having a picture!!!

I feel that way about building descriptions, damn you architecture! So often I just want to copy a historical style but referring to them directly makes me feel too OOC

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
If I wanted to read a childish argument about nothing I'd go read some YouTube comments >_< Almost worse that they're both characters I usually like.
I just wish this happened around my character more prone to making her mind known, with violence where necessary. I want to slap them both XD

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
I have a rant.
So, I've run across an issue where players have hated me because they don't like what my characters have done / said. -I- the player, am not my character. This is not targeted to any one player, but a blanket statement. If you choose to take the actions of my characters personally and oocly hate on me because of it, so be it. If you choose to stupidly make it an ooc issue, that's your problem, not mine.
I understand that you don't have to rp with someone if you choose not to but I find it increasingly annoying and completely stupid when it it so blatant that every time a players characters cross mine because of the ooc personal hatred, they run off away from mine to avoid the rp because of the ooc hatred and personal issues the player has because they can't distinguish between in game events and taking things personal oocly.' When a player continues this and you know which characters are theirs, this is not as unnoticeable as you might think. Believe me, everyone notices
This is a game people. Events and characters in the game, are not the player themselves. If you take the game that personally maybe you can't handle playing the game. Running away from the rp in game will be considered your loss and not mine. I''ll simply find someone else worth my time to rp with that actually wants to put forth the effort in the game.
Rant over....
