Cantr II Discussion Forum

I was going through my character list and got to thinking about the various things my characters have done. Two major ones pop out as the results of those accomplishments can still be seen even long after they died.

1) One of mine was one of the first barons of the Silver Knights. Still miss that character to this day.

2) Created/Founded Freedomland. I cannot believe that the name stuck and the principle behind the naming and original laws are still in place. I really wish some of the old notes from then still existed.


Anyways, anyone else with accomplishments/achievements they wish to share?

I have found the Teregotha trade loop to be an impressive accomplishment. While my character has been pretty instrumental in bringing it back, it's really a collaborative effort that was started long before I even began playing.

Yeah, those who set that up did it well. Same with the effectiveness of the Klojt workshop system and currency.

My personal characters've not done much of global or even regional importance, but I hope that to change in the next few years. :D

One of mine became a town leader just a day or two after turning 21

1) Got elected as a town leader at age 25, and converted a sleepy communal town into a capitalist town, which has become quite the commerce hub and provided opportunities to many young folks to earn nice things. Town went from 4 active citizens to about 10. Established new coin system.
2) Got a group of younger, wakeful folks together and founded a brand new town in a completely virgin land. Got a decent workshop up and going, and started producing steel weapons within 3 years.
3) Kicked a pirate out of a sweet location with amazing resources both in and right around it, and our small group quickly established the most active town around. Have built several useful machines already. We're still in the young stages as a town, mostly sharing resources communally at the moment.
4) Inherited control of an ancient town after a few leaders died. Grew its active population from 4 to 10, and established a fixed rate trade system. Again working on the process of converting a sleepy communal town into a capitalist town/commerce hub.
5) Successfully stole a rigged sloop from his hometown, and managed to get away with it. Also managed to stumble across a large amount of resources in empty places, which he is using to put together a large exploration expedition - with the hopes of stumbling across even more loot.

1) Finally killed that town leader as a revenge and looted the town. After 10 years of being a pirate and accumulating power. Yarr!
2) Had 5 husbands, Survived 4 murder attempts. Being silly rich by taking their hearts and prying the wealth and finally! Being announced by the stone knights as a criminal mastermind in the radio!
3) The second in command of the Nahkahanska clan. After 44 years.
4) 31 years of peace and calm with my loved one in a rather small town. Still active, not giving into the sleeping sickness.

1) (Dead character): Got the keys to a town after the previous leader died, ruled successfully for over a century (closer to 150 years), survived several pirate attacks, two of which classified as massacres, and got a vision for a temple, building the main structures of it before dying in the crypt, surrounded by friends.

2) Killed and molested several people, yet managed to be reformed into a good person, and has managed to escape from his past (at least thus far).

3) Lost everything she owned in her forties, yet managed to bounce back and become a town leader after the old town leaders died (simultaneously of a heart attack). Played a key role in making a coin system get successful.

4) Found a tandem bike back when no one knew where to find rubber, has explored 135 locations.

5) Stole a galleon and got away with it. Now no one has any idea it was originally stolen. Has visited several islands and handled several rare resources, such as rubies, emeralds, marble and topaz.

6) Has managed to live up to the age of 71 on the possibly most boring populated island in Cantr.

7) Made herself a silk dress when 21.5 years old.

I always felt like my English-Polish pirate character had the biggest achievement. He and his Polish brother got locked up, and managed to kill the town leader in the same jail they were locked up (my character carried wood, so they built the town leader a cell of his own). Keys were taken and there was just too much loot (it was one of those big Polish cities), they escaped - though if I recall correctly they lost it all to Spanish or Polish pirates.

Other big achievement was being the town leader of the biggest Dutch settlement, sort of got herself there by getting in bed with the previous town leader if I recall correctly. She had everything, though in hindsight I regret being so greedy about resources. It was mostly my own greed, not my character's. I doubt the other people there even realized how rich they were. The town was so rich because it inherited many resources from nearby towns - my character befriended just the right people I realize now. She and everyone else (including a group of German characters, making one of the best two-language groups I've ever played in) sailed north in a big ship to escape the increasing Spanish aggression (which my character kind of deserved for being such a racist, was nice to play that out). I wonder if even a single of those characters is still alive.

I realize lots of people don't get to play out their characters (sleeping sickness/heart attack taking most of them), so I'm glad to know quite a few of my characters fully played out their role (including their deaths). Just a general achievement heh.

I've played Cantr for several years and sadly haven't had any *really* influential or great characters. It's mainly because I was either a full-time student or working, and I tend toward sleepy/simming chars. Since it's been so long and I've no records anymore (I used to keep char notes on my old laptop), it's hard to remember most of my early chars, who were much more active. Here are some that I *do* remember:

Dead Ones:
-Lilith-Teresa. She was the mayor of Katan after her partner Ravyn died. Katan was much busier then. She did a lot of machine and house building, and there's a monument bearing her name, but I don't think she was a very memorable character otherwise.
-Duck Fish. She was a very successful pirate for a while...then she got caught....and then escaped...then got caught...then escaped. Died of a heart attack in one of two unsubs.
-Winnie Heart. She died quite young at the same time as Duck. She's the one who collected and organized all the notes in the Scarab Haunt Library. She ran off to Midgar where she was generally quiet and depressed before dying.
-Ruby MacGregor (of the clan) was my first character. She lived about 7 RL years ago, so I remember little save for the fact that she became fairly influential for a time, though she never voiced anything herself. She was more of an 'advisor' to her husband.
-Another early character, Jayne Milliway, was the headmistress of the Goldmine Bordello after Gabriella died. Business got slow for many years and she ended up leaving. Also a very long time ago, so I don't really remember where she went after that.
-My first attempt at a shit-disturber character was Starlys Black. It hardly counts as an accomplishment, but she broke up a few relationships with her man-stealing. She also tended to piss people off - she build a huge monument in the centre of town to a friend of hers (Spazzheart) who wasn't even from the town and died there after less than a year. Didn't really enjoy playing her, unfortunately.

*I know there were more, but again, memory fails me.
My new characters, who will go un-named because it's more fun that way:

-One's managed to build a raker and a longboat, as well as a full set of tools and a crossbow/kite shield all by herself. She's from a desolate island and stumbled across the machines in abandoned places, but the rest was all her. Some wood was salvaged, but the rest was gathered and manufactured on her own.
-Another made a LOT of bronze, and assuming she finishes her current boat project, is off to trade it. I had her do this in part because I wish there was more bronze in the game It's pretty.
-One's found an awesome abandoned town, complete with a *really cool* building. Radio in it and all...and she's attached all-new locks for her own use. The odd traveler comes through, so I hope to found a town with her.
-Lastly, one of my very newest character has scavenged some awesome stuff. Weapons, tools, healing liquids, and a jeep. Nice. (Not really an achievement, more like taking advantage.)

I remember Duck Fish!!!

Although the character I had that knew her makes me quite sad due to how things ended up.
