There will be new machine(s) - so stop you're whining.

Resources Department got new members from the Staff Recruitment thing, you'll notice an amazing boost in productivity! New items, resources, machines, the WHOLE sh'bang!

You'll have to find out in game how to do this and mess with that. That's the purpose of the game. Society Development. If, say for instance, a new tool were invented real life - what would happen? They'd advertise it (Tell others), produce it (Make it), and use it (Do what it's for with it) - this is the same in game. Think of new items as new inventions, and there's a little nugget in your brain that connects to the invisable Gods above you. When they think of an invention in their magical workshop in the clouds, you then learn how to build it. But the Gods and greedy and don't tell you how to use it. That's for you to find out.

Please believe this story. No, it's not a coverup :)

I love being a God. :)

[Please Note: We do not hold Gods captive in our magical cloud workshop and force them to work. These rumors are untrue.]

dude thats the crapist story I have every heard about the "gods" I wouldnt recomend you spread that around. I personaly know severaly people that play cantr, and if that is true they sure as ehck will leave, I thought cantr was a clean NO "gods" at all deal, but I was wrong........becuase its not even "funny" or "fun" to joke around about "gods" becuase there is only 1 true God and he is real and game that have "gods" in it is just plain stupid and wrong!

Hmmm. How about ancient "Gods". Scrap them out of the history books?
And they were the only true gods too, well according the their believers..

Anyway. Lets not bring God into this game ok? Cuz UR post doesnt make any sense, nor is it ontopic. If you want to talk about gods, do it elsewhere. :roll:

Yes there is only one true god, but I think in a role playing game it should be allowed to have imaginary gods, and I think he was just joking about that by the way. After all look at the Unnamed Ones and the Church of Jos.

In your opinion, maybe.
Someone invented your god, Anthony invented that story.
You want to trash his story? How bout I trash your bible? God doesnt exist, the bible was intended to be taken symbolically.
I think Indio is havin some competition with this Gunny guy. What do you think Anthony :wink:

I was kidding around, like holy crap man, take ahold of the wall and calm down a bit. It was supposed to be a humourous excuese as to why you learn new things now and then, but don't know what they do or how they work. Whew!

Next time you snap, your local insane asylum will be to your door!

And, so you know, that was a joke.

Please don't start talking about religion unless it is the Unnamed ones or the Church of Jos. Religion is a very, very touchy subject. People will easily fly off the handle at the mere mention of it. That is why it is ussually avioded in most forums.

Dont know about your country but in Canada we have a thing called free speech.
Moses invented the God "Yahweh" in Ancient Egypt, and he led the Jews out of there to their homeland.
Christianity kind of makes me laugh because if you think about it, the religion is a sin in itself.
They worship Christ, yet dont the commandments state not to worship people other than god?
Thats kind of the basis for a montheism, yet Christians have God, Christ, The Holy Spirit, and Mary.
Not a monotheism in my opinion.

*Sigh* in the bible it says that the holy spirit, the father, and the son are all one in the same. The only way to god is through his son Jesus Christ. We worship him because he is our messiah and our savior. If you refuse to believe in god than yes that is fine it is all a matter of how people see things. Oh and yes on privately owned organizations/sites (including Cantr) your so called freedoms go down the crapper. They are only given to you on government owned sites and private establishments that let you express them.

i like religion/philosphy debate even more than political... so let's move this whole procession to the non-cantr related discussion area and take the gloves off! *waves atheist flag* yay!

Kroner, I find it very ironic that the post you just made was #666 :lol:
And I fail to see how the fact that the Christians (Romans) took over a lot of places, that means their religion is the right one?

Christianity didn't originate from Rome. Rome opressed Christianity and wasn't allowed in till one of the leaders saw a woman survive the lion's den by keeping the lion's mouths closed, but I am not sure if that one was true. I heard about it in Latin class. So I am not sure if I should actually believe it. It sounds like a huge rip off of the story of Daniel.

Christianity was just a cult until Constantine I endorsed it.
A roman emperor, if you didnt know.

So my point is, because he endorsed it, and most of us probably have roots in the Roman Empire, then thats why Christianity is celebrated by so many people, and is therefore the "correct" religion?

Kroner, I'm with you, lets storm that religious Bastion!

Anyway, from what I've heard the oldes documented form of "christianity" were the dead Sea scrolls... But their practitioners were far from frogiving and "meek" as Jezus was... The story goes that the romans kinda liked the story tho, turned it in a pacifist religion (The cheek thing) to make the Jews a bit less fanatic in resisting the Romans... But yeah, Cristianity didn't really take off until the Romans themselves started believing it...
