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.

New front page? Yay!
It seems like the Cantr Stories site is down for now, though. Sad.

~ 3000-4000 amount of players would be enough. For a while, at least.

About quality of RP - let's give them just a lesson of good RP. Nobody is a Great Cantr Player as beginner.

*nods to Mars* That's why I want to approach RP groups, rather than gaming groups in general. They already know how to RP, and just need to adapt to the particular mechanics and rules of our system.

I'm about to make a post about Cantr on the roleplay subreddit. I'm not too familiar with Reddit itself, though. Anyone know any other subreddits that would fit the bill?

I think r/roleplay is the best bet. Others options I've seen tend to either be private subreddits or don't quite fit the bill for our purposes. There is also a fledgling Cantr subreddit. Which one of you created that?

Alright, the post is up! Anyone who feels like speaking on behalf of Cantr, please comment and share your experience. People tend to get more excited about something when they see other people loving it. I'm also going to post it on the Cantr subreddit.

Would be nice if they manage to spawn on lively town instead of dead ones because that increases chances they like this game

The Portuguese-speaking community is knowing Cantr through an ad for simulators of everyday life. Is along with Popmundo, Cosmopax, Erepublik, Oncity, Human Age, TheCrims and Aq (AdventureQuest Worlds) ... I wonder what kind of "everyday life" they are looking for ... Today our cantruguese locations seem a mixture of Human Age with TheCrims with a Badoo's feeling. :P :P :P

That's awesome! Let's keep going :D There's a Cantr facebook page that hasn't been updated for two years. We should revive it!

Who needs quality while quantity is decreasing and will reach 0 soon?

Ha, This question made me chuckle. And you are right, It's something we can't afford right now.

Lol, i was so dumb I gave my first character a username and this was in Akypor...at least the people there were nice enough to inform me of the rping and not go off on me. ps i had no idea what type of game this was when I joined because my friend 'recruited' to cantr and was noot very explicit.
