I want more minutes... (Yes the eternal whining..)

Postby SekoETC » Mon Sep 20, 2004 8:27 pm

Mostly I don't use them all. Really, I just hate running out of minutes with unfinished things going on.. I won't go check things now since seeing lit up links would make me even more depressed when I can't access. :| Ergh, I'm so damn tired I couldn't play if I had more minutes but anyway, it sucks. Even more if nobody misses me. :? Evvybody just hates me... it ain't nice at all... *Dozes off for a sec* Huh.. where am I..? *Yawns*

How much does this make it now? :wink:

I think there may be just as many of these topics as there are topics by me on Firefly. :lol:

:P I've been burning minutes quickly these past few days... Got down to 43 minutes a few days ago, nearly went crazy because of that number... Heh.

I wasted almost 170 minutes on just one character I believe. I'm down to 20 now. At least it made cantr exciting for me, since it has had a tendency to ummm...be boring.

RKL, just so you know, your avatar is displacing my screenformat. >.<

It is the same one I have had in the past 5 months or so. I probably should change it soon though.

Cantr does seem to be rather tame right now. No big conflicts or controversey currently like in the past. Don't worry. I'll have a devious character or two to help make things interesting sooner or later.

Actually, there's been some pretty big stuff going on in the Krif area.

Back to the minutes, cuz there can't be a discussion on that where I don't put my two cents in :P (Sorry Sico)

I run out of minutes almost on a daily basis, when I'm not working, and sometimes even when I am. I continue to wish I could borrow from my own minutes from days when I won't or don't use them all. I will continue to wish this forever, most likely, because I doubt this will ever change. *sighs*

I know there was a thing they did with the Show All buttons that was an experiment to reduce bandwidth use. Maybe if it went down enough, then there would be enough extra bandwidth to give us all a few extra minutes.

But don't give them to us until 3/4 or the way through the day. That way we have something left for those days when we are a little cantr-crazy. *takes a swig from the minute bottle, that he hides in a paper sack in his jacket*

I used to often run out of minutes. Recently, I haven't had any trouble...

Yeah RKL- I was going to tell you before, but I was just waiting for you to change it. I don't have the largest resolution or whatever it's called.

Right, I'm sure most of you picked up on these basic things, and if you haven't, it's worth repeating. On my compuserve, or Mozilla browser, the password and ID are already present, and setting "http://www.cantr.net/index.php?page=login&l=1" as your homepage can help, only needing to press one button to enter.

When you check a character, keep the browser open to read all the events. Then exit (simply by pressing the homepage icon if it's set as your homepage, or quick link), type up anything you want to say in the url box, then c/p it. Log back in and post your post. Do not use the "back" button on individual chars pages to check other characters unless the checking of one character was a brief read. If it did cost any amount of real time, then use the logout/login (pressing homepage link) method for the other characters. And by the way, I only have 7 characters, and that helps with the worries of time.

Last thing is, I assume everyone uses some variation of this method. And although staff will deny it, cantr time may or may not be equivalent to a real clock. I'll have to test that out someday.
