BLOODY HELL I HATE YOU! *Hyperventalites*



Who the hell would make a bus, apart from a really stupid person wanting to waste ALOt of resources.. *looks* Oh.. guess who. :wink: :lol:

Seeing as how I have interiour knowledge about the workings of vehicle mechanics, I know very well that the bus is worth its weight in gold.

Literally! :D

Well, that obviously depends on the quality of the surrounding roads. :wink:

You want to live in a <i>bus</i>? :roll: :lol:

This is off-topic. No chatting in general support. :P

Apparently, the same thing applies to bike-carts as applies to rickshaws.

We have just built one at Akypor Forest South and it won't go anywhere.

Now if there was some logic to it, it wouldn't matter so much. But of course there isn't.

And there was Francesca thinking she could build a great community, make her mark. A joke of course.

Stop being lazy and improve the road! If you can afford a vehicle, you can afford the road.

I built the bike-cart to fetch sand in the first place. Improving the road to Akypor, where the sand is, might well take as much as 132,000 grams of sand in two phases.

In any case, didn't you know Cantr stands for "Citizens for Alternatives to New Toll Roads."

So why should we build a road? :lol:

Toll-roads are not really feasible in-game, thanks in part to activist groups such as CANTR :wink:

If you want to get a toll from someone, sit at a location with a weapon and demand tolls from those that arrive, and kill them when they attempt to flee.

Simple.

Might I object to point out, that mothers do not exist in Cantr. A family can not exist as characters are spawned.

Therefore, your insult will merely confuse the poor spawnling.

Not only that, but the word "f---" comes from "Fornification Under Concent of the King" - so in all technacility, if you've never been in a Hiararch (sp?) empire, or heard of one, or any terms regarding to such, you wouldn't know that word.

AH HA, IN YOUR FACE!

Nope. That's a backronym.

I quote:

"The earliest reference appears to be the name "John Le Fucker", which John Ayto's Dictionary of Word Origins dates to 1278. What John did to earn this name is unknown."

I find that last sentence very :lol:

Anyhow, just type the word into Google, click the little definition link at top right, and you'll find pages of stuff. It's said to be the most versatile word in the English language.

Even more amusing, it was used in public in 1900 by Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, but only once--and that was just after he'd been shot by an anarchist. 8) :lol:

Anyhow, back to topic?...

What about Google?

You use Google?

[Edit]: I didn't use Google. They taught us the definition of the word in school, mainly because all the kids were using it as a vulgar word, and the teacher was sick of it. So he told us what it really meant, and after that, we stopped using it as a swear word, lol.
