Cantr II Discussion Forum

There is a man in Seatown Hills right now that is attacking people just so his character can be killed. He has told town citizens that he only wants to keep a few characters. Please take care of this!

This is the second person in as many days who has attacked characters just to be killed. Is this an epidemic in this part of the Cantr world?

Sure seems like it sometimes.

But this should probably go in the 'Suicidal Newspawns' thread.

Again?? What is it with Seatown Hills drawing that sort of scum. I know many worse places to be spawned in.

Edited for Language

Hmm, that sounds strangely like the guy Nybbles and Mr. Floyd posted about in the Suicidal thread.

Same player?

Is it acceptable to send players like this a whispered OOC message saying they are being reported to the PD and are risking the loss of their account?

Maybe the PD could prepare an official message that we could all cut and paste. This might get the offending players to stop their behaviors faster and cut down on damage to the other chars and the town.

As I said, this is the second instance of this in like four days. It's getting damn annoying and my character is going to run out of healing food for her townspeople if this keeps up.

Don't worry, ask your neighbors for help.

Is it acceptable to send players like this a whispered OOC message saying they are being reported to the PD and are risking the loss of their account?

No, please do not do this. OOC comments, even to be helpful, aren't necessary and can make new players think OOC comments are ok. A player already having trouble with the CR is less likely to keep any personal resentment about being reported from affecting how their char treats the char of the reporter. Reporting the player to the CR forum or through PMs/e-mails lets the PD be the ones to deal with any attitude, and minimizes OOC comments made IC. Also, most problematic players are new and just don't get how the game functions yet, so PD discussion with the player are more beneficial and fair than making threats.

Maybe the PD could prepare an official message that we could all cut and paste. This might get the offending players to stop their behaviors faster and cut down on damage to the other chars and the town.

I agree that this would solve some situations faster. However, it again presents the above problem, and would additionally present problems of people using any official message inappropriately, either by accident or on purpose.

I dont think you need to worry about that mad man in Sea town hills again....

By me saying that am I breaking any rules?

I don't know if you are breaking rules, but my character there knows that things are taken care of. Thanks, Mr. Man. *smiles*
