Wow, you guys have had crazy cantr lives! :D

I have two characters married.
I have gotten locked up in jail, for no reason, then showed some horrific things...
And never killed anyone... Yet...

Okay, so next question is...

Have you ever took over a town and been a dictator before?

One of my characters is a town leader. But, he's not a tyrant.

I've played town leaders but never a dictator. The preferred method of becoming a town leader is to pick up the keys when the previous one dies and say I'd like to organize things now. Sometimes it works, sometimes you get killed.

I've only played one that could actually be considered a dictator. She is still alive and well and most town leaders nearby try to stay on her good side. So do the people in her town and visitors for that matter.

I had one character that went to a town for hematite, but it was completely abandoned, so he decided to try and revive the area. He thought that it was strange that nobody lived there, since there was only a few other places on the island that had hematite.
Unfortunately, he wasn't that successful... He starved LOL

Wow, my characters must have commitment issues. I've only had a few in a relationship and none married.

I've only killed one, and that was only recently.

I've never been locked up, but I have unknowingly worked for and defended a pirate. Still can't believe that one survived that situation. :lol:

Has anyone ever let their character be naked their whole life?

Nope. Most of my characters were given at least a loin cloth upon spawning, and the ones who weren't found their own source of clothing. One spent her life in a pair of overalls that I can only assume were supposed to have been covered in dry sex fluids because the person who discarded them, as she dove for them, was all like, "No.... I don't really think you want those...." but she didn't listen because she wanted something to cover herself up with (she'd been stark naked for at least an IG year at that point), and also because she was mostly deaf. And he never indicated why she shouldn't want them. So yeah. Assumptions!! XD

13/22 chars...

I have one char married. Just one. With her second couple. Two in a relationship and another one in... some kind of kinky relationship, too. Another whose relationship finished and, from my dead chars, another 3 had their own...

I killed (with the last hit, I mean, really killed) just 2 chars that I can remember. One of my chars killed his best friend and the other one followed her "captain" orders. And was too shoked for the killing. But I helped killing some more. At least one. xD

I had 3 chars in prison, one for religious issues, one for talking his thoughts aloud and another one just for talking. Well, exactly for asking for how much time did he need to stay silent... Oh, and another one locked into his own ship accused of being a thief. I had another voluntary locked in a building for her own safety, one locked in a ship by accident, two kidnapped and another one "preventively" put inside. And, I must say that at least 3 or 4 of my chars have developped some level of claustrophobia, and more than one is in this list... :lol:

One of my dead chars was killed by religious issues. Another one accused of being a thief (and it probably was the only time he was doing nothing wrong but sleeping!!). One by heart attack when it still was able to ask for them. One bleed herself to death. And 5 starved. Two with more or less valid reasons. The other 3 just because -I- was too tired of them or wasn't able to play them anymore.

Not tirans, but 5 of my chars had to lead a city in any way. They are/were easy to spot, I'm an awful leader; my leadership skills are negative or something...

One of my chars is 56 and only wearing a leather collar.

Oenone of Pok is naked and stained purple from grapes. Probably the only perpetually naked character I've ever seen.

I recently passed through there and saw that. I always wondered if it was allowed by the rules to change your chars hair color throughout the course of the game using materials found in game such as grapes.

Oenone. I have no characters there now. But she was a significant person in one of my very first characters' lives. I am happy that she's still around.

One of my chars got to jail for newspawn stupity back when I started, and another was imprisoned by the winning party of a conflict after they killed most of his friends. Later he got imprisoned by a person who had connections to the people imprisoning him earlier. His choice was to be killed after the man gave him a choice between death or working for the man as a prisoner after he had killed all of his friends. This char is my only so far who hadn't died completely by my choice, but it felt indeed complete at the moment, he really had no motivation to live on after that.

Two of my chars have been in a relationships, neither of them was married really, the first one had a sort of agreement that could be called a marriage by some standards.

50% of my chars have killed someone, and just one(I'm certain of) have killed more than once.

I had a char who where in loincloths well into his 70s before someone convinced him to more use cloths. And he have never been a hermit or something like that, it wasn't just something for him.

I have a character that will turn 60 in a couple of days. She has been alone all her life.

She spawned in a place with 4 sleepy people. Got some clothes and some limestone and hematite. She walked for 3 years and found a place with a primitive smelting furnace and made some iron. What luck! The animals were many and evil so she struggled to survive, colleting potatoes to eat and spinach to heal. She called that place home but walked away to get wood and build a cart. It took more than 4 years. She counted every gram of hematite, limestone and coal and made the most important tools.

After that she built a a kayak and found a place by the sea with wood. There was no real maps for that area. She built a sloop and went back home. During these years she met one (1) other person.

With the ship it became easier to travel and she met some more people, not many though.

She has built a lighthouse.

She is happy.
