That's pretty cool :-) ... Maybe a bit too confusing for advertisement use, although it is tempting :-) ... But quite funny.

I was just curious what would happen / how this site works. So I did the same trick, but using a note found in Cantr as base text. I removed the town name, but the note is just a constitution in one of the towns. Since so many constitutions in Cantr, unfortunately, look the same, I thought it would be a fairly representative bit of text :-) ... The result is here:

Cantr II Note

Anyway, too complex for an ad, presumably, but cool nonetheless.

Oh, the last one is quite good. It is nice because it describes Cantr IMO. The word "considered" shouldn't be there though, but "paradise, freedom, resource, citizens, community" fit perfectly.

I'm glad you like this little toy. It even tells you something about the text you wouldn't have noticed that you use "considering" that often.

To get the image you want you can freely manipulate a given text, like remove all mentions of "consider" out of it. And if you want to have cantr in it, just write it in the beginning. The more often, the bigger. So if the the basetext contains "cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr cantr" it will show up quite big in the Wordle.

Well if everything in Cantr wasn't "considered theft" that word would be a SHMIT LOAD smaller.

Remove horses, and it's perfect.

Woe... Like being in Limbo!!!

Maybe spelling Cantr with something like that? Within the colouring...
Edit: I can't see to find a custom colouring option though...

Here's something I came up with when I was bored. I'm afraid they're no masterpieces though.

The last one would require to put something like "... and find out more about the fascinating text-based role-playing game" in the ad text.

Did we put an ad on Facebook in the end?

No, there's no funds for it. We've re-opened the discussion and are thinking about splitting our Adwords fund and diverting half to Facebook, but our Adwords fund is too low as it is, and we get a lot of referrals from it, so it's a risk. Plus, there's the issue of someone needing to intimately familiarize themselves with how the facebook ad campaigns works before we do it.

So far, I still like this one most ... We should move forward with the Facebook ad ;-) ...
