Cantr II Discussion Forum

As for the number of players, I'd take quality over quantity. Some people have a really hard time grasping the difference between IC and OOC for example.

Inexcusable when I see that in more experienced players, but we do get a few who are legitimately new with what seems like no background in RP. As for 'quality RP' as in writing skill, that's such a subjective thing and more and more now I'll happily take whatever I can get, as long as they're trying.

One list for RP groups that I'm considering to contact has member numbers ranging from the 30's to the 2,000's. My current plan is to contact the leaders of the groups, explain that I'm not officially representing Cantr 2, but rather am simply a player hoping to attract more players. Then, if any of those group leaders check out the game, they can choose whether to advertise it within their group.

You're not the only one - it hasn't been there for a while now for me.

Yeah, thank god it got removed. One less thing to be ashamed of.

Maybe the pr department or gab can do .....something.

I wonder if we as players can take the bull by the horns.

Those who are not happy with the video... propose something else.
Maybe a contest? The player whose idea is accepted will have their name listed on the credits.

The same thing for those who have a problem with the CR.
Give a proposed list of exactly what you think it should be.
Please cover every possible situation that may arise.
Maybe a few of your suggestions would be adopted by GAB.
It will never be a 'popular vote' thing imo, but it may expedite the process.
======================================

I guess the thing I am proposing is that, I keep seeing somebody proposing things that "somebody" should do.

Be somebody.

"Don't be a dickhead - this goes for the people interpreting what is dickhead behaviour as well"

There. The old spirit of CR rule, summed up, with a necessary extra provision.

Onto other things, how are those rule clarification discussions coming along? Any progress?

Contest for new video or something could be a nice idea. I remember someone did something like that already?

I tend to expect people with fancy titles do their job, if they aren't then give the job to someone else.

But one man can only do so much? This player problem is problem of all of us and it needs more than one person to fix it

And remembering that it can not be solved through ooc coordination... What is one more difficulty for players take this problem to fix.

If Cantr were going to advertise, I'd recommend it do so on other web browser games (there's a heap of them out there, with and without graphics) or on various MUDs still kicking about. Even places like the IRE MUDs, not solely "RP enforced ones" - high population and a playerbase familiar with the concept of roleplay already.

I JUST HAD AN IDEA that was spurred from the Cantr Stories thread. Why not use the stories as an advertising tool? We can spread them on social media outlets, and share the crap out of them. A Facebook page, we can make a Tumblr or something (writers love tumblr I think), and maybe get some use out of that subreddit that has like three posts in it.

This is a good idea. Go ahead and share stories on social media.

By the way, there's a new front page in the works.
