Mine was only 23 in Cantr, but I am young to the game yet!
On War of Empires, where the poll came from, I scored 87, same as N-Aldwich here (see below). Top score there was 89.
The reason for this is because I wrote this rating for War of Empires (you can see the original poll here: http://z10.invisionfree.com/War_of_Empires/index.php?showtopic=3248). I loved it when I found someone actually had left the bath running and put 2 inches of water across his bathroom floor...! He's the same guy who once randomly saved half his army from destruction in the middle of the night because his daughter woke him up at 4am feeling ill, and he couldn't help but log in - conveniently at exactly the time he was in the middle of being attacked...
That game has only been running for about 22 months so far. I tried to change the poll as little as possible when moving it across.
Just two maximum. This was the hardest one to translate across. In the original, it was "your name appears on the Chronicles of the Ages" - the list of people who finish in the top ten of the game every round (three months) and who have the richest/deathliest attacks/wars. With Cantr, there is no such rankings list, so what this really means is "If your character has done something impressive enough to have been one of the top twenty-or-so characters of a three-month period, then score a couple of points."
Had a look through and I have to deduct a few points:
Minus 2: for double scoring of having a link to Cantr on your homepage, and Cantr being your homepage.
Minus 2: for double scoring of remembering over 90% of your characters' names and for having pictures of them.
Minus 3: for double scoring of writing a character's name in and e-mail, and for sending it (nice one!)
Minus 4: for claiming over five posts a day, when your profile says you have 3.51: "Joined: 16 Mar 2006 ; Total posts: 1122 [0.49% of total / 3.51 posts per day]"
Minus 4: for double counting of checking Cantr in the middle of the night, and because you set the alarm specially.
Plus 2: For only giving yourself 1, not 3, for creating an outside forum for Cantr.
Total: -15+2
So your score there should be 87. Still pretty meaty!

I found it interesting - Cantr is a game which runs _so_ much slower (3hrs per turn, not ten minutes), where not logging in rarely means you lose your life, and generally means you just have to wait a bit longer to trade for iron, whereas with WoE, if you don't log in for more than about 10 hours, some sod comes and destroys your army.
Despite this, the addiction ratings for Cantr are very similar - a few in the 80s, quite a number in the 50s, and a few people popping in with 20s.

You have a character that has been *the* top person in a town of more than 20 people, or you have an island/town named after your character.(2)

About Six ....ty or so ... lost count and got back to Cantr before I finished

50, which seems high to me. Some of the things don't seem to really be relevant to addiction, so much as to length of time played.

Around 55 or 60, I'm not sure...
But I never connect from home (I have no connection), so I never check it before breakfast. If not...
