Um, wow...thank you, Snickie! I will check it out, it just may be my miracle cure. Does it work on Android?

No, not at the moment. I don't know if they're working on that right now.
There are probably other ways, though, to obtain a similar effect on Android.

There are but so far they don't really work. I've started writing wills... :cry:

Turn your phone off during work hours is the only way! You'll look super dedicated? Or ask them to add cantr.net to the firewall blacklist or something (I know that would probably sound pretty bad on your first day but clutching at straws here ha :P ).

Hope you think of something. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Unless your chars are in life/death situations, you've just got to convince yourself that missing one tick isn't going to make that much of a difference. I can understand setting your alarm for every 3 hours if you're involved in some kind of chase, but not if you're worried about your char sitting idle after gathering potatoes. Maybe culling one or two of your chars would be enough to slow things down so that you can keep up without staying awake so late. It might be hard to choose and let them go, but that would be preferable to unsubbing and losing them all.

I did not clearly communicate what I meant by setting an alarm at the ticks. I did not mean I wake up every three hours during the night. What I mean was, instead of always being on the site at work I would set my alarm to go off at the ticks when I was there and allow myself five or ten minutes then back to work. It was a failed attempt to manage my playing time.

I think after my list is posted tomorrow in the dead character thread (which pretty much anyone who would care knows anyway) I think I'm quitting the forums as well. While for beyond the most part people have been helpful and supportive of my decision, I'm spending too much time here discussing things that should have just died with my characters and it feels poisonous. I can't say enough good things about the people I've met both in game and out, even those of us who have had a bit of a rocky road. It really is quite a community here.

I had fun interacting with at least two of your characters. I enjoyed your writing and I wish you the best with your job and with life in general. Please take care.

Yes Catwill. I'm not familiar with any characters you have played at least that I know, but an active player as yourself will always be missed. Here's to hoping you find the time and the will to play again in the future :)

I wish I'd gotten more time to interact with your characters, I and my character/s will miss you. :c *hugs* Best of luck with your job, and I daresay I hope you can return to us someday.

I'm not quitting, but I don't think I'll be making any more new characters, whilst I'll be looking to kill off more of my older characters.
