Cantr II Discussion Forum

We have Russian. We have French. Why the heck don't we have an alternate-English translation of Cantr?

Frankly I'm tired of Jos's Languagist treatment of this lovely game.

See? It's easy to put Cantr into language today's youth can understand if you only try. Case in point: the frontpage.

Strangely enough I understood that. *Shakes head and looks at again, then crawls into a bomb shelter never to be seen again.*

your joking right zoot? because I would just die if they made the game translate into the jibberish we all use online to chat. people who have charrys that talk like that make me crazy (crazier then i am)

*opens l33t hunting season*

Anyone seen useing l33t, and specifically leet, not just bad grammar, will be killed in game. Ummmm, for in game reasons too. No CR stuff. They're posessed by demons, yha, that's it. In game demons.

OMG!!1 I W0UD M4EKZ L1k3 7000 L33T CH@RZ!!! IT 1Z 5O L33t!!!!one U ALLZ SUX0R!!! 1 WILL R0x0r U LO5R FAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm... i think it would be hilarious if such a cantr environment existed for about 5 minutes... then the novelty would wear off and i would have to systematically hunt down and kill every person who spawned a character there.

And l33t is aload of shit. *stab, stab, stab, stab*

In my eye(balls) if you talk that l33t shit, your quite frankly good as dead

And please don't tell me you took time from your busy doing nothing, to translate that. Dude, you might as well jump now.

Don't make me bribe Jos to delete your account and have you silenced. I can do that, I surely can. $1,000 donated to Cantr... yeah, he'd do anything - No leet-bull-junky, or you die-die

Me? Talk like that? I'm one of the select few who actually use proper grammar in IMs. I just wanted to see how annoyed folks would get if I ran the webpage through an online translator.

Verdict: Moderate success. Oh, and hi, Tony.

I'm not updated with "L33t" Is that were you substitute in numbers for letters?

Yes, hello, Alex. Please, don't frighten us like that, ever, EVER again.

That was scary... Please don't do it again

*You hear someone knock at the door from the bomb shelter.*
*You see a letter come from under the bomb shelter door. "Is the madness over yet?****

*writes a note*
*drops the note*
*pulls letter under the door to the bomb shelter*
"Not even close"

*Reads note, panics, writes another note and passes it under the door.*
"I need more food."
