The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
A great way to promote the game: Put an option for every player to write "The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr".
That would be a text box available at the bottom of characters page. People would be allowed to write whatever they feel proud of, with some basic restrictions:
100 day rule, no names and dates from game etc.
Then on the Cantr main page would be displayed text from radomly chosen account, changing every page refresh. there should also be a button "read more" redirecting to page with all of them.
what do You think?

Good idea... but I can see some people messing about too much with it

It's a good idea. I like it. It could be monitored the same way as character descriptions, so I wouldn't worry too much about "messing".

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
Sounds like a cool idea, and if someone got nabbed for writing inappropriate things in it, we could use the same table for preventing people from sharing their most amazing thing that's currently used for disallowing people to edit their custom descriptions. It might be difficult to pick just one thing, though, when people have several characters who might lead very different lives.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
Ok, let them write few of them if they really want, I see no problem with it.
And since it will be shown on the main page for every single internet user, I would suggest full moderation. That would be a bit hard in the beginning but then, not so terrible - people won't change them too often.
There should be possibility to write in every Cantr language so everyone who can, would have possibility to write the same story in different langugages.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
good idea, but maybe it should be "moderated", and get into the main page a random comment everytime.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
So there could be a new table that stores them, and they would be marked as pending or approved, and only approved would show up. If they also included a timestamp, it could be used to limit people from submitting a new one until a certain time has passed. And if there was also a column for language, we could make the code pick a testimony in the same language the main page is currently displayed in, with English filling in if there aren't enough options in the chosen language. People could submit several but only one character per testimony, so that it wouldn't turn into the kind of posts I write here on the forums.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
Looks like we have the whole thing almost planned
We could let 1 testimonial per char added every 100 days. Newborn characters would have to wait 100 days for their first submission.
What about adding translation?

Wouldn't per player be better? Its a lot less moderation to have to go through. And the 'event' is likely going to be better (so better for marketing) if you have to just pick one out of all your charries.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
Some players probably have dozens of great stories. Limiting it to one per player would be a big loss I think. Players that haven't done much wont bother to type anything serious in anyways.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
I would also add voting on stories. So the great ones would be on top.

Wow, this is probably one of the best suggestions I have seen (read)in a long time(regarding Cantr), and to add to the voting idea, maybe the highest voted submissions can be placed in the Webzine for future publishing's?

This suggestion is simply superior.

Re: The most amazing thing I've done in Cantr
I'm for that idea, but I think they should be moderated before publishing. It's too risky to let anybody insert something which would be visible for possible new players.
