And because it managed to get split along with the rest:

Inspired by the current discussion on navigation...
Satellite navigation of boats. That'll need satellites of course, and rockets to send them up... but that needs explosives of some sort, and that's a no-no.
Well, for a few seconds I thought I had a winner.

Electric chairs, in the center of town. And the huge power plants to run them.

Ooh, I've got the greatest idea - termites! They could eat through everything wooden, making it crumble within seconds. Wooden shield - nyaaaar! Get ready for those wild boars. Ooh, go hide in the cottage... NYAarrrgh! *Walls crumbing into dust.* Ok, I'll go hide under this wooden table then... NYAARRGH! *Table turns to sawdust.* Ok, I'm screwed.

Soon everything will be made of stone and metal.

Now THIS is a good suggestion. I had a better one though- each cantr year, a new Cantr 'god' is selected...... but it gets better, they can just click a character and he dies, they can teleport where ever they want, if they drop a note- it multiplies a hundred times... they can create as much resources as they want at once (sure, some say an overload of iron will screw the economy.. but it'll make it better!!!) and so much more.

We could even use this as a trick to get those suicidal newspawns interested in the basic fundamentals of the game- so all those suicidal newspawns are gathered up in a list and then we select one at random to gain godhood.

They shouldn't just pick random people for that. It would have to be a staff. (like Jos!) or some long-term player that's a good roleplayer?

A rejected suggestion was "Make certain ships spawnable." Being a literalist, I thought, why not. Get two longboats together and they might spawn a dinghy, or two galleons a raker.

I can see why that was rejected.

Why not changing convention.

shields, door locks -> force fields
ships ->starships
isles -> asteroids
swords -> laser pistols, rifles
food -> life support resources
etc...

the same game, only others names, and it can have more sense :twisted:

maybe in another million Cantr years.

Oh I know something that'll totally crack you up. A waterpark!

tiddy ogg · Postby **tiddy ogg** » Sat May 05, 2007 6:11 pm

Of course, for that you'll need an army of enslaved newspawns pumping water continuously.
