Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr

[catwill]

You hear with one character: You hear from radio: Is John Doe around?

A couple of hours later in another town with another character.

John Doe says *Stretches* I wonder what's going on inside the radio room.
You see John Doe leaving unnamed location entering radio room.

If there is a character named John Doe out there I'm sorry and imply no wrong doing on their part

This. I have seen this. And not even with the lame attempt at making it seem natural.

I think I did something like this, once... But I hope it came a bit more natural than that

The radio is cantr's version of the internet. I suppose then that "immutable voices" suggestions would be cantr's version of internet identification legislation.

[Swingerzetta]

Hm, maybe with that in mind, what we really need is the Cantr equivalent of user accounts, mods, and banhammers.

Isn't radio Cantr's version of... the radio?

Tell me about it, every time I turn on the real-life radio in my real-life car on the way to real-life work, I hear tons of random, annonymous, trouble-making, trolling young people with easy access to broadcast antennas announcing how they're about to start cannibalizing and/or murdering people from several towns away.

[Wolfsong]

You must not have had a CB radio growing up. You'd hear all sorts of bizarre shit on those, though usually the sort of people who had access to radios had better things to do than shout profanities into them. But talk about aliens? All the time.

The problem isn't that there are too many weirdos in Cantr. It's that there are too many empty towns in Cantr with fully functional radios all tuned to the same channel - that is entirely the issue here. If radios required upkeep (I know, machine rot is approved but not implemented) and could fall apart, you'd see fewer radios, and then fewer people who could start shouting nonsense into the radios. People in populated towns aren't the ones shouting murder into the radios, because they'd be subject to oversight by their fellow citizens - unless they're rich enough to have their own private radio, in which case they can shout whatever they want into it, because it's theirs.

So, best way to fix this problem (this problem, again, being entirely IC): either start policing radios in abandoned towns (securing them with locks, etc.) - or just pick a different band for you and your friends (ICly, of course) and talk on that and let the public band prattle on about whatever. It's not really an OOC issue. There are crazies everywhere, and that's perfectly fine to RP, though these crazies should still uphold consent rules when describing/talking about graphic events, both violent and/or sexual.

Honestly I just wish people would start setting up regional radio networks. Depending on your location you can hear crazy from multiple islands away!

I read it even worse. Something like "okay, I'll send your radio message later, John Doe is not at the radio now." WTF...

This definitely falls under the puzzling heading:
domesticating animals for meat when there is enough meat literally piled up all over the place to probably feed the entirety of the green world. I guess just to say you did it?

[bnlphan]

Different types of meat though. Can't kill a wolf and get rack of lamb I can see the point you are making though. I have a character that is doing it but losing interest quickly.

[Tiamo]

People can hunt in order to improve their hunting skills and their strength.

[catwill]

I wish I could say maybe these are RP choices, but I don't think so. There seems to be a general lack of basic manners. Please and thank you.

[Sunni Daez]

Radio abuse, just because they know no one can trace it back to them.

[saztronic]

The fact that when I am in a vehicle, in a town, I can't see any of the buildings in that town. Although I can see people, and I can see what buildings they are in -- but I can't see any buildings that don't have people in them.

This doesn't make any sense at all.

EDIT: Same for other vehicles.
