I'm amused that the game's first pro-feminist note (or that's my reading of the text) is an erotica short story. Narrated entirely from the man's point of view, the final line is beautiful when the woman (who had no voice and was never the focalisation point) is said to have never said no... as he rips the gag off her mouth.

What kind of filth are you reading, Wiro? :lol:

But as the first pro-feminist note, copies should probably be spread around as much as possible.

This body seems to be older than a year. The cause of death seems to be an attack by a great horned owl.

I like to think that one day, one glorious day, I'll be able to look upon a body killed by a spoon. Even if I have to create it myself. :D

I saw a frog attack someone once. If it had managed to deliver a killing blow, that would have been funny too.

The cultural diversity among language groups. I've recently spawned my first English speaking character and I am like a kid in a candy store. :D

I'm 192 years old but well preserved.

Only in Cantr. :lol:

That marvelous feeling when you really really think you figured out who plays one of your favorite characters but you just can't bring yourself to spoil the secret/surprise with asking them. :oops:

My character was on a coastal location in a distant land, and found a "_____ was here" note that I left there in the 2500s on another character. I wonder if it was specifically left on that location or if it travelled a distance. I also found dozens of other notes I wrote back then on various characters, including a diary.

Déja vu! :D I once had the same experience, albeit with just a single note.

Another thing that amuses me: dead end roads on mountains, where a road would have made sense. It's like you're looking over a huge cliff and you can see the town below, but there's no way you can get there!

When you manage to get exactly the reaction you want out of people with a few well placed words. Whether that's getting them over on your side, or firing them up into making a spectacle of themselves, or even just making a good trade, it always feels like you've won the social side of the game.

When you spawn a new character or have one travel about and run into another players character that you really liked with one of your own but always wondered what happened to them. Obviously in character can't do anything but certainly makes you as a player happy to run into characters like this. :)
