My characters keep spawning in the same town on a small island. If you don't want characters in the same place why do you place us there with no food and very little options of where to walk. Can anything be done about this?

The spawning is supposedly random, so you just have bad luck. I have noticed myself that my characters spawn close together often, and I have to spread them out myself. What I would suggest if there is not enough room for your characters on that island, is to build a boat and go find another island to inhabit.

Do you have any idea how long it would take for me to gather enough food, wood, and tools to build and stock a boat large enough to take me to another island? Players department is going to be all over me because i have 4 cha's on the same island and 3 in the same town. Course they can't help each other so we are talking years of game time.

Those chars can be in the same location but you are right, they can't cooperate together.. *shrugs* I have been there when I have had 4 chars in the same area.. You think your 4 on one island is bad? Try 6 chars Been there and done it..


Now I dont have that many on the island anymore, BUT again I said I had that many..

I have had 7 of my 15 chars spawn on KDS and 5 of them were in the same area. As long as your chars don't interact (help each other and so on), the players department won't give you a hard time. You will have plenty of time to collect your wood and food. I will tell you from personal experience though, even having one of your characters leave by ship (either someone else's or your own), will make your characters lives so much easier and much more fun because they will not be bumping into each other as much, you won't have to remember which of your characters knows what in the same town (easy to get mixed up), and your characters will not by suddenly falling asleep when another of your characters enters town.

I have had 2 charries in the same town...They didn't fall asleep because the other is talking...they had met...they were kinda friends..they said a few things to one another...((not much as I really don't care to waste my minutes talking to myself!)) But they didn't assist one another with anyything. The town was big, so there were many others to speak to and interact with.

It's not impossable..

I talk to myself all the time... Oh, in character? Sorry, well I have had a few in the same area and well the best way to solve it is just move them apart but on a small island might be tough. Good luck on it and I hope it works out in the end.

Yeah, I've managed to carry on reasonable conversations with myself before and have known a few other characters of the same player in a town that were able to cooperate in a very IC manner. Sometimes I'm afarid that avoiding interactions to avoid a CRB can lead to OOC influeneced behavior...but now I'm just rambling.



Put the beer down and go to bed, Wichita! Bad, bad monkey.

Email the PD (players@cantr.net) and ask them to delete some characters. Overall, I agree with your comments and have experienced the same thing.
