What was the first post you made in the forums?

[notsure]

Mine was: "And what does it mean when everyone else around you can drag someone and you can't?"

Aww, such a cute topic!

Hmm, I'm wondering what the last page has to do with babies, but... I have some female characters that would be delighted to be mothers. Also if you started as a baby, other's would have to take care of you and also if some kill-everything-that-moves characters would notice they couldn't even hurt a fly, they would most likely quit. But there's the problem of could you choose the person to play the child or could it be some random newbie who can't even write? It would be quite dull to raise a child that steals everything and kills you the day he turns 20!

Well, that makes me sound like I was all the same as I am now. My second post is funnier. That one goes:

Are bone tools any use? At least you cannot use a bone needle to make bone earrings (sounds silly, because I would say the needle in that case is only for piercing the earlobe, not the earring..) and using bone knife instead of an ordinary knife doesn't work out at all. So, let me guess, bone needle is useless and bone knife can only be used in hunting? Am I right?

I didn't realize that tools aren't added to the project like materials.

My first post was:

who cares about the little sicknesses
all they require is a few hours of rest and some food
also all they do is make meesages pop up,
i say either get rid of the sicknesses or make them more powerful

straight off into the suggestion forums for me.

Jingo
Jingo <yes, I have 2 because I couldn't think of a new name>

Hmm, one of my characters saw one of your Jingos in passing, and another knows the other Jingo quite well (or, at least, he'd like to think he knows that Jingo quite well, as he thinks that Jingo is rather simple and gullible)

*sighs* havn't played cantr long enough to know

[Piscator]

I don´t think it a good idea to recognize the language group of a character. You can´t do it in real-life, why should you do it here?

But I agree that learning languages ingame is quite a problem. ...

That's actually my second post, because my first one was in the Esperanto forum. Typically somehow...

[joo]

The first post I made was actually both a new topic, and a poll. I think I was trying to alternate the sex of characters I made between male and female, and I was curious if other people did the same. So I made two polls, one for males and one for females:

First Post

I am trying to find out about sexes in cantr - I want to see if there is a difference in what sex characters male and female players create. This poll is for male players - if you are a female, please refer to the topic "Cantr Sex Poll (For Females)".

Second Post

I am trying to find out about sexes in cantr - I want to see if there is a difference in what sex characters male and female players create. This poll is for female players - if you are a male, please refer to the topic "Cantr Sex Poll (For Males)".

Third Post

Oh shit! I forgot to include the "All female option" and now I can't edit the poll - oh well - anyone who has created all female, just select "Mostly Female" and post a reply telling me...

[Doug R.]

I have several characters, and each one has had problems with important messages being lost in the noise, simply because when people talk to "you," the little white fonted "you" actually stands out less than the general babble, which is people's names in orange. This is even more of a problem for those players who play mute characters and need to pass notes to communicate. I can't tell you how many times I've found notes in my inventory days after they were passed to me.

So my suggestion is this: Please change the font of "you" to bold and a color, preferably NOT orange. Green or light blue would be good. Then when "Bob Bumblestump says to you" or "Bob Bumblestump gives you a note," we'll actually be able to see it immediately. While it is natural for things to be lost in the babble, it shouldn't get lost when someone is standing in your face talking, or puts a note in your hand.

I have a character that lives in the mountains and has turned one of the abandoned buildings into a free resource centre... She asks everyone passing through to drop any surplus items in the building... you'd be suprised what people will leave...

Por acaso tambem ainda nao conheci nenhum. Morreu me uma char por cause dos lituanos e 2 vao a caminho.

Well...It's not very interisting, I was just sharing with my Portuguese forum mates how disapointed I was with my bad luck of having a charrie killed, few time after I joined. It was my fault though --"

[Stan]

As my first set of posts are completely idiotic I will post the start of my second thread. I don't even recall having this idea...

Why can't our characters see swords, crossbows, shields, etc when another character is carrying them?

There's no way an object like that could be hidden in a pocket or a bag, so it should be obvious when a character has one of these objects, just like when they have earrings, daisy crown, or other clothing.

Of course, a knife and other objects of that size could easily be hidden but not the larger tools, weapons and protection.

Are there plans to modify descriptions of characters carrying these objects?

And there was a time when I wish that change had not been made. My villains sure lost some punch when people could see their weapons.

I edited out my first post at some time, but my second was in a 'Heroes of Cantr' thread:

Kabong. He's keeping a town alive without uttering more than one verb.

Not as such.

One of my characters wanders around the deserts killing what few people he comes across and steals their possessions.

Except he died yesterday.
Problem is, most hermits don't have a lot of food on them and the constant travelling is tiring.

So one lucky person is going to stumble across a dead body with a LOT of items on him.

Typically believing something i did actually mattered.

[Andu]

Sanchez, is Christine in Kwor yours?

[SekoETC]

As my first set of posts are completely idiotic ---

First of all, if you mean those posts about made up character history, it's certainly not idiotic. In many other rpgs it's standard procedure. Secondly, I think the purpose of this topic is to remind people that they were all once newbies and probably said things that are going to sound silly now - but since we're still here, we must've learned somethingduring the time we've spent in Cantr.
