Cantr II Discussion Forum

Is there a way to get rid of nates? like burning them or something?

NOOOOO! *pouts*

And I believe it was said once that it would never be implemented. I guess it could be another way for newspawns to ruin the game.

There should be. Kinda wierd.

I guess it would make it easier to be annoying, but some people have some things they want to hide. and they can't get rid f a note.

Stick it in an envelope marked trash with about 100 other notes titled the same... and then regular trash. Maybe it will never be discovered How many people pick up envelopes from dead people and read EVERY note. Specially if there is 100 notes titled the same.. 99 be something you dont care for them to read and the 1 what you want to hide but cant delete. After reading 2 or 3 they will stop reading it.. Just hope the old one is down the list which it should be.. take some older notes and rename to the right name you should be able to get the one you dont want read somewhere in the middle.

Maybe notes should disappear automatically when laying outside for, say, 30 game years? Or maybe 'temporary' notes should be introduced, lasting only a short, fixed period.
Notes in an envelope or notes inside a building should never disappear.

Eternity of notes is one of the game fundamentals, it's about historical value of notes (especially those older than 30 years) though discussions about that arise from time to time in departments.

Can't the admins just search around cantr and manually delete notes that are obviously totally useless to the game? Such as blank notes? Keep in mind that by saying this, I am only thinking practically, and am not taking into account Cantr's mechanics. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how that would work.

Even if you can't delete a note you can always delete its contents. As long as the note is editable of course.

If I'd check a note every 5 second, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it would take almost 8 years to check every note in Cantr. Players make notes faster that I am able to check them.

Besides it's impossible to define criteria of notes usability - even empty notes are not useless to some players.

For roleplaying toilets?

Couldn't you make a program to do it for you?

Once again: it's impossible to define criteria of notes usability - even empty notes are not useless to some players.

How about attaching the date that a note was last handled (looked at, picked up, dropped, copied, etc.) to the note database? Then the staff could purge notes that haven't been used in a very long time.
