Huh. Recently wrote a care guide, for best practice when taking care of a sleeper, with dignity, respect and only a little tomato throwing. Looks like the market for it should start booming.

Find it in your local library, soon!

Have been playing my first smooth-talking-criminal type character, and am slowly realising that like 50% of the tri-county area are also smooth-talking criminals... Welcome to the post-scarcity world, I guess? :wink:

Man, just don't try trading with the Polish. Every time I've tried to cut a deal with them, I get taken for a ride and end up trading away exotic stuff at half its value. Like clockwork.

When you spend half of a day planning what your character will do in a certain situation, and when push comes to shove he does something totally out of the blue, and you just sit there puzzled, thinking 'Do you seriously want to do that?'.

Or when you actually feel the emotions of your character, but honestly I am not sure if it is something that thrills me or rather annoys me. :D

Yes this, or the ever frequent from my mouth "What the f@ are you doing? Don't do that. You're an idiot 'own-character'!"
I do not control them. I just push button for them. Haha.

When a few like-minded people are awake at once, and the RP really does an amazing job of simulating the feel of just hanging around and goofing off with your RL friends.

Rare characters who bring a bit of life when it's least expected and make you want to step up your game.

I love how a situation can go from making you literally shake out of nervousness, to absolute hilarity within seconds.

I also love when things happen to make you realize how much of an impact your character has on other characters in the game. Can't help but feel a little bit proud.

Some of the roleplay that goes on in the Cantr "wilderness". The family-like feeling of these small isolated towns is a nice contrast to the cacophony of the large cities of disparate voices. Sure - the Cantr wilderness can also be dangerous, and a lot of times it's where our quieter/sleepier characters live, but I enjoy a lot of moments in these places.

I've just realised one of my characters has been talking as I would during a game of of Sid Meier's Civilization. Am now seeing the map in hexagons.
