But why? Longboats are not hard to build. Only wood and hammer is needed. We only need to gather enough food for expedition.

Well considering Cantr is so huge, it would be difficult to find. But I know there has been some communication between different language groups. It's just a matter of finding out where the Polish island is in relation to everywhere else.

And longboats are painfully slow...

Or at least they are once you've had something like a raker... :wink:

I have one question. Why there is more Polish players (442) then characters (414). This is weird to me, because I and many Polish players which I know on forum have many characters. It is possible that there is bug in stats system?

Perhaps some of those player's characters have passed away, so they don't control any Polish characters, but are still recorded as a Polish player?

What do you mean by "passed away"? Do you mean that their characters are dead but they still login to the game?

I was just bringing up the possibility that some people could be registered as Polish players, but any Polish characters that they had have since died, and they either have all of their characters in different language groups, or they have left Cantr, and their account is still around even though all of their characters have died.

I thought about this possibility.

I think this is rather impossible because that characters dying from hunger after 20 days, and account is deleted after 14 days of not activity.

Amazing. Now we have more than 2500 chars in Polish Zone. I like to know how other native language players think about learning Polish to play in Polish, or to know some words to read Polish emotes when they meet Polish chars (first Polish-English contact was made few days ago already).

If there will be interest we can start a Polish course in NCRD, like Esperanto course is there.

I have an English-speaking char exploring the Polish Cantr universe right now, and it's kind of fun. I have a basic dictionary and whatever. I also speak Russian reasonably well, so sometimes I can puzzle out the grammar and some of the words.

But I've visited several towns, and only one guy showed any interest in really trying to teach me the language. Every other place I stop I announce myself and drop my dictionary, speak my few phrases in Polish, ask about trading, and what follows is several days of non-stop Polish exposition I can't make heads or tails of. No one seems to address my char or comment on his presence, at least to him.

So. Here you have someone who would be willing to learn more Polish, in character if that's possible, but is finding it difficult to find anyone who cares enough to make the effort...

Well, it's kind of sad... maybe you should change the island. ;)
