Comparing Cantr regions to rl regions
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2014 8:43 am
People shouldn't mention which resources are in which town, just general information.
- I used to think that Zhift region was like Africa with all the lions. I haven't been there in a long time, so the lions may have been hunted into extinction, unless they were reseeded. Then the coast has giraffes, so it also seems like a part of Africa.
- Aki island also gives me the Africa vibe, although at least one of the animals is South-American.
- Cantr island seems like Europe.
- Fu makes me think of the Mediterranean with all the olives. Then again it's a very wide area, so there are different regions there. Mammoths anyone?
I wish there were more dark-skinned characters because so many areas in Cantr are suggested to be warm, or at least were before the weather flattened everything into the same mold. It's sort of sad that it's snowing in areas that have tropical animals and plants. I think it would be better if some areas had perma-summer. Well, the deserts do but more than that. I guess most players are white and are uncomfortable playing people of color. People should still remember that since Cantr has never had color segregation, the color of someone's skin shouldn't affect their personality, so it's perfectly okay to have a character with darker skin who acts the same as your white characters. I think it would be more realistic to have more dark-skinned characters. A couple of times I've spawned a fair-skinned character in an environment I judged tropical, because I felt like they were out of place and lost. But it sort of gets flattened by the fact that the locations are filled with other fair skin characters who never get a sunburn. I think people should react to their environment. Either get a tan or get burned, or cover up with clothing.
