Greatest Cantr moment

[Wveth]

..Simple.. meeting someone who actually role plays.. different than the typical cookie cutter charri... something other than flirting, romance, sex... blah blah....

It's almost like people flirt, romance and have sex in real life. Imagine!

My characters always romance, flirt, have sex, but it's not all they do... just like real life. If you don't explore a character's sexuality, you haven't got a complete personality. You aren't RPing a person, you're RPing part of a person.

That said, all my greatest Cantr moments always involve romantic/sexual relationships in SOME way. Not to say it involves the actual sex or what-have-you, but just, when two characters have seen every aspect of each other, things that happen between/to them have far more emotional impact.

Suuuuch aaaaas... when, in Zuzi, Sury was trying to get Meem to join The Order. Her lover, my character, Lexi, REALLY don't like religion, and she felt like Sury was trying to steal Meem away. The religious arguments she's had with Meem and Sury were soooo interesting. Loved it!

Which makes me wonder...what about those characters that refuse to have a sex life? Does that mean they aren't a whole person and just part of a character because they abstain?

Not at all. I did say "exploring your character's sexuality" rather than "having sex." Having a character choose to abstain is something totally different than just avoiding sexuality altogether.

My greatest moments were founding the Stonecutters which developed into the Stone Knights and helping to bring the almost extinct Blackrocks to another continent so they might thrive again.

Let me clarify... someone who role plays things OTHER than JUST sex and flirting. typical that some one would nit pic what I said .. I could have predicted that response.

I am refering to those who actually role play.. who define a charri as more than just a sex vessel... Who does more than the cookie cutter RP. There is way more to cantrian life than just sex.... this convo has been discussed to death anyways.. so why must you attack my opinion? Hmm? Does it threaten you in some way?

I have nothing against flirting and romance... I RP that too... I don't care if others RP sex..(( if they keep it inside and not in a whisperfest outside. )) But it certainly does NOT mean my charris are not whole because I don't like to participate in written sex acts. If you do.. yay for you.. I have participated in implied sex, without actually writing out the detailed.. he put this here and she said OOo ...... When I first started cantr.. yes.. I participated in that too... but I soon realized that I do not spend my time in this game to write about sex. again, if you want to, YAY for you... but don't discredit my charris because I don't choose to do this.

ohh and PSSSSST Cantr is NOT real life! It is not meant to be real life... using that as an excuse borders on the OOC rule... ... bah... enough.. Want me to tell you what response I will get from this? I bet I could tell you! (cookie cutter response)

Spawning in a town during a political rebellion, and being forced to take a side on one of my first characters.

I have to totally agree here. The anonymousity of cantr creates an enviroment like chat rooms where people are more into sex than is realistic in genuine role play. Some charries are downright desperate for it, like some sad thirteen year old.

Ive had cantr sex. It was fun. But ive also been propositioned in ways way more brazen than makes any sense, disliked everything about it and TBH some of my charries are pretty much asexual by nature.

Its honestly annoying how much having an anonymous turn on overrides real roleplay. Sometimes cantr players interest in sex reminds me of girls being harassed or a gay locker room.

Cantr is not a chat room, we are meant to play life-like characters. Irritating as hell...

Hmm, Many many cantr memories to choose from but one of the most memorable had the most intriguing conversations and rp I have experienced in this game.

Taking a town hostage on board our ship as we sat in town waiting on the "Brunoi army" to arrive being not the typical hit and run pirate. We waited and as the hostages sat in fear on the ship (those who were alive and not sleepers) I had quite a nice conversation with John Boarslayer and the Sheriff of Brunoi in regards to releasing the hostages. We had no need for resources, did not even loot the town. Just grabbed the people and sort through the sleepers. Negotiations started out and they soon realized we would be leaving with prisoners one way or another. Offered to take the good sheriff or some of his other active men instead of the hostages on board. One of the sheriff's men spoke to me and in return was attacked by his own sheriff. We ended up gaining the Sheriff's man as a crew member and leaving with all the hostages leaving the Sheriff and his men to head home empty handed. More fun times to come with this character very soon.

OH OH OH! I've got a "good one".

Having indirect control of a town because your character is "well liked" by the citizens. Even when the character asks a question and has his own answer others usually agree with his judgment and choices. Its great because he doesn't do much more then gather things for the town and speak his mind on situations.

As for the "other things"

Dudel rarely uses "I" when speaking about his characters or makes the clear distinction with (player) or (character) comments.

As for the "sex issue"... only ONE of the my characters has/had sex. One is too emotinally detached from his world that sex wouldn't mean anything or even "feel good", that and he'd not grasp the idea. One can't even HAVE SEX! XD Eunuch! (He was born that way)

As for the rest... I don't bring up the topic often in an OOC manner during my life so their isn't much reason to do it IC. Guess you could say, "One character doing 'that' is enough."

...and 'that' doesn't happen to often.

[Wveth]

If you could have predicted my response, it's mostly because yours was worded in such a way to make it sound like RPing romance and sex was a waste of time. You really did make it sound like that, which is why I took offense to it.

You're doing the exact same thing you accused me of, by lumping my opinion with others and boiling down my argument to make it appear "cookie cutter." By your stated standards, that is in itself a cookie-cutter response.

As for the real life comment, I only meant that, sex has a huge impact on real society, and Cantr was developed as a "society simulator." I understand it's not even close to a pitch-perfect representation of life.

Yes, I was emotional, but my comment was directed more at anyone who actually does "neuter" their characters, and not necessarily at you, though it did sound that way, and I apologize for that.

I agree that sometimes sex is played as the main goal and I wonder about it...it is like "OK, can we actually interact with the town instead of just rp sex?" Sheesh, lol. But I don't have a problem with either rping sex OR rping that someone has no interest -- and in fact, I have one guy who probably never will have an interest in sex, he is too interested in being part of an army-type group. He is throwing all his energy into that -- he doesn't have room for anything else! I also don't think it is a bad thing to simply not rp sex at all for someone -- I mean, there are plenty of people who never have sex, why should it be the same in Cantr??

EDIT: Why SHOULDN'T it be the same in Cantr was what I meant to say!!

I doubt there are many players in Cantr who would play it for the sole purpose of cybering. I remember one person who seemed a lot like that, but he fortunately quit.

According to my experience, when Cantrians start a sexual relationship, in the beginning they'll be all over each other, learning how the other person works and what they like and dislike. But just like in real life, the novelty fades and they end up having sex less often. Either one or both of the parties gets bored and find someone new and exciting, or the initial burning passion turns into peaceful affection, appreciating the stability and knowing the partner will always be there, so we get couples who stay together until death.

If you're inferring that that's my opinion, you're gravely misrepresenting it >.<

I wasn't -- just was stating my own!!
