Cantr II Discussion Forum

This is as a player, not as any characters. May not be the most you've achieved, but the thing that made you feel best. I'm interested, as I recently had a moment where I felt really good as a player.

I'm in my second batch of characters, having quit the game last summer. But today one of my new characters accidentally stumbled on a town previously resurrected and run by one of my last batch. And in that town is a landmark commemorating my older character. Right then...i felt I'd made a difference in the world of Cantr, and I want that again. It's definitely a feeling that will keep me playing for a long time.

I was wondering how other people feel about things, solely as a player.

When one of my characters came upon a note, detailing a movement founded after one of my deceased characters Sabrina Seadragon, who lived for only about three years. It floored me, especially since she got herself killed stupidly and didn't do anything noteworthy. It was a fluke.

It was appropriate that the followers of this movement also got themselves killed stupidly, at least according to the note.

When Hobbes' reputation preceded him.

Lets see, Manifesto-dude, is your greatest moment what I'm thinking?

I was pretty proud of myself for making the top 20 most well known characters in Cantr in the first issue of the Webzine.

And I did it without being obnoxious or publishing anything , too.

When I realized how much Mary Williams was hated - and I completely was caught off guard by it as I felt she was just misunderstood. I never had her act the way she was for shock value - always steady for the forest and what she felt was right.

I can't chose only one.


When I realize that people from all the island (spanish) were coming to my town in order to work for / trade with my character.
And many of that people told him "you and your maps are an inspiration for me".

This was reinforced when a foreign player stated in the forum that that very character is one of the best trader all over Cantr

Iknoy from Snavirn, and the boys that run Esquina del Encuentro.
At the same time I'd like to say that in the rather unpopulous Spanish language area, these two are the best traders I've ever seen in this game. Come on, English-speakers.

And later, when those "boys that run Esquina del Encuentro" were banned due to serious CRBs that show that their success was no more than cheats and mules, but mine is still there in spite of all the PD investigations over my characters and relationships.



When one of my characters was welcome in a town and presented with a whole palace and a breakfast with diamonds (Breakfast at Tiffany's).



When one of my characters altogether with the german one called Peter Schtaus were able to overthrew a despotic (and full of CRBs) government in Kartsjantankin.



When my corsair get to start a bloody war between two peacefully fellowships just sorting his words in the proper maner.

And recently, when that corsair condemned to jail was put at charge of the prison and prisoners, with the key!... because the leaders of the town were trusting him more than the town guards? Really odd and funny.


(yes, I know, I'm a mouth on legs)

Sitting in a Ladvicitavoi car together with a higher ranking officer, racing to escape from Ladvicitavoi to Sjoftich during the battle with the DuOrdens. We didn't make it, though.

Speaking of DoUrdens, I was quite proud when I realized my DoUrden character managed to not only make some other characters frustrated, but make their players quite flustered as well.

Another would be writting a story that actualy had a moral to it, and seeing some of the responses to it in game.


... Man, I guess I should check my chars before they starve out. It's been two weeks, at least. *jogs off all mouse-like*

Out of curiousity Dyl, which DoUrden were/are you?

getting my first recruit to my chuch.

then getting my second is close after that. (but he died a decade later of heart failure.. too bad we couldnt get a transplant for him ;p)

Being adopted by Lady Jessamin. At least it felt like that at the time.

There are a lot of great moments in Cantr. They just tend to last such a short time. It would be easier to say the greatest moment for each character, though some would have several to compare.

There's a load of competition, but mines got to be with Max Gooders, might not be the most exciting moment but it was extremely good fun to roleplay, and it was when Libby, Alexander, and all the others rolled up into town and two sides of people started blaming each other for being pirates, almost breaking into fighting, but after many days of talking, interrogating, backstabbing, and blaming I managed to get to the bottom of everything, work out exactly what had happened, and manage to arrest a fairly high up member of the Commonwealth for treason or something like that (I don't remember what I actually got him for, but it included about six counts of murder )

For me? When Felin Ginger invaded Sjoftich Hills south. It's petty that I'm about to say this, I know, but it's the biggest impact I've probably made on Cantr in all my 2 years.

2 things really:

The first time i got a char to 30 was a massive achievement for me. I used to get them killed in some way or other before they reached that mark, even the previous time i played i never got a char to 30.

And the second was hearing someone talk favourably about one of my chars exploits in a town on the opposite side of the island, that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
