Cantr II Discussion Forum

Alicia Scarlett; was captured by the Forest after it was found out that she was spying on them. She later claimed to be spying for Maynard but then took those comments back. She also claimed to be in love with Maynard (she also took back those comments) and said she was conspiring with Maynard. She also said that Lucius Blackheart and Maynard were good buddies and that Blackheart was really a puppet for Maynard who controlled the Krif Counsil. She then asked Silverfoot to join her in fighting them. Silverfoot refused and told Maily this.

Alicia Scarlett was/is a very evil and manipulative person who tried to blackmail Silverfoot and her men into becoming her personal pirates, "looting and intercepting messengers" as she said it.
If Silverfoot didn't go along with her demands she threatened with leaving her in the SF prison rotting away.
Silverfoot and Maily managed to trick her though.

Maynard never met this "Gunny", and i don't even know who he is, so obviously he never worked for Maynard.

If this is "Gunner" you are talking about, he did.
When Silverfoot was commander of the Krif Guard Maynard gave her orders to supply him with a sabre and an iron shield and make him a guard.
She never got a good explanataion for it, other than that Gunner had supplied Maynard with valuable resources.
Shortly after Silverfoot armed him he deserted and when the Krif Eagles (as they came to be known) reached the hills they found his body and reports of him having been the ruler there for a short while.

As a player I'm so confused about the situation that I don't even have a real theory to believe in...my character knows even less, but she believes in a very odd theory, spawned by Maily.
Based on experiences in SF and probable lies from Maily she believes that a group of wizards are behind the conspiracy, and that people on both (all) sides are involved with the group.
Now when people have begun dropping dead for no obvious reasons (OOC it has been locked accounts etc.) she is getting very paranoid that this is the work of the wizards.

And regarding Maily, she made a lot of questionable things even before murdering Maynard. One of them was to decide to kill Silverfoot and her men in the SF prison because she found them hard to handle.
If they hadn't started banging on the doors to alert people outside that something strange was going on I think she would have proceeded with killing them.

The "magic groups"were real, and there were 3 of them that I knew of.

-one used notes like a chatting board to instantly communcate across long distances. This was basically the people of DHW who were there before Durin died, although some were in the next group instead/also? (There were some wierd apparent group crossings at various points)
***********************************
-one was a player with roughly...let me count...8 or more chars working together-ish. I'm surprised nobody else saw it before Maily did, because one of the best clues was the writing style of these chars. They were:
Matt Mc, Mr. Stone, Lucie McSea, Sgt. Katie, "Mr. X." , Erik Mastman, Gunner (or someone who wrote a note on his behalf), Durin, (or someone who wrote a note on his behalf), and a few others whom I can't be sure if they were in this group or the previous one. Some of these chars comprised the Death Bringers, which was the assasin group that was attacking people in Krif.

Maily was trying to figure out if Maynard was knowingly supporting them, or if he was just being used by them. One the one hand, she couldn't see how he could possibly not have suspected what they were, because he would have had writing or speech samples from all of them except Lucie and possibly Alvin York. On the other hand, she didn't think he'd value whatever benefits the group might bring him over the fact that the group would be a threat to him if they wanted to be. She was mostly just irked that he'd be so indiscriminate about whom he armed, which was most of those chars.

In a perfect Cantr world, Maily wouldn't have screwed up catching Maynard, and he's be alive to talk about this and lots of other things.

***********************************
-one was a player with clustered chars, whom Maily called "The One-Named Women" and "magic group 3", and whom the Mac Gregors called the "Mountain Witches." I'll not go into this one, because there's some OOC discomfort regarding it atm.

So the players behind these "magic users" were IRL a group of CR breachers then?

That is something I have suspected for quite some time, since they managed to avoid and manipulate the Krif Eagles with a little to much precision...

Yes, "magic", etc. was an IC interpretation of players cheating. Since my chars couldn't comprehend "players", it became "magically imbueing (sp?) notes/artifacts", being "psychic","wizards", "witches", "possessed by a magical illness", "strangely/magically bonded", etc. etc. etc.

They didn't "avoid and manipulate" the Krif Eagles. They didn't need to, because they partly comprised the Krif Eagles

Regarding the Krif area, does any one character actually know the full truth about everything going on there? There seems to be so much deceit and backstabbing that it's crazy.

I doubt any one person knows everything.

And all that intrigue.... that's what makes the place so damn entertaining!

No, but quite a bit was uncovered at the recent "leaders" meeting in Krif. Probably the biggest sharing of regional information that the region has ever seen, from my perspective, anyways. Quite a bit of assumptions and rumours cleared up, misinformation corrected.

I think Maily's creation of the "magic users", on the part of the player to explain these cr breaches, was very creative. Added a lot of further mystery and flavour to the region.

It is incredible that such a climate has grown in that region.
I didn't think such a sense of regional pride, politically altered history and suspicion could grow from such a simple game as Cantr is.

I wish I had more characters in the region, because as it is now I can only see things from one side of the conflict.

Is this the same X still around, from DHW?

Mr. X is a participant of the Wizard Protection Program, and therefore will not be identified, so that he may continue his new life as an upstanding non-magic user unhindered and unsabred.

I have no idea if he's the same person you're referring to anyway
