While it is proved that Cantrians have knees, shoulders, eyes, etc.

It does not specify the number, saying we have 2 eyes for instance is a blind (no pun intended) assumption.

I imagine Cantrians to look like the little Lego people. Very short, square and blocky, with take-offable hair and hats and heads and interchangeable midsections... Build a Cantrian as it were.. :lol: Not really.. but it is amusing to think of! :D

Monocles exist in real life, doesn't mean people have only one eye.

You have nailed it Hermie! Jos's initial influence carries through still today!

And from the last time I remember this argument flaring up on the forums...

And the assumption that sense they don't urinate or deficate or copulate removes all requirement for gentalia or breasts is a rather absurd assumption. I mean, do we know that they have mouths? Maybe they absorb food through their skin, or some phagocytotic internalisation mechanism. Maybe they don't have feet or hands or eyes. Maybe Cantrians are really just 20 kg bouncing blobs of protoplasm that are labeled differentially to signify male and female. After all, we don't know that cellular differentiation exists during the spawning process, perhaps all Cantrians are just ginormous zygotes. It's plausible, eh? Why not?


Are we really this bored? *Wanders off to find that social life he used to have...*

Back to the six arm thing.... I really don't think that Cantrians can have six arms, if they did they'd be able to do two thngs at once... e.g. repair a hammer and .... hunt...... O_o

I think that the pouch is less like a kangaroo than a human pouch (dont laugh just yet (in fact dont laugh at all)) I Imagine it as a leather pouch like a mechnic might wear with slots to put tools and a bottle holder.

Correct me but don't humans think to do something at the same time like go to sleep and other things that cause jet-lag

this just about explains everything in a realistic way

but reading the hat descripoinos it says

fur hat
a hat of carefully cleaned animal fur. It covers the head well and looks warm

there fore cantrians can feel heat.

Cantrians have at least four arms, because they can hold a shield with one fire a bow with the other two, and they can also do other things at the same time.

Ithink cantarians are telepathic Land squids

Why not just leave the game as it is: The Best MMORPG Online? I see Cantr heading in the wrong direction.
