Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr

I think that takes kinda same ambition as to start a town so I think most chose the starting the town

What annoys me is that Louisa is still pretending to be dead out there somewhere.

It is a bit of a bummer, isn't it?

And how you do that then there's all around empty towns? Heck I could start one right away... It's super easy with all machines and buildings.

I meant my post as more of something that needs to be done by the programmers.

I've never understood feeding sleepers. Not sleep workers, but true sleepers. It's one thing if the char RPs hibernating or something or OOC goes "Hey guys gonna be gone for a while" but honestly you have stomach capacity now so if you can't fill up your stomach first and then still run the danger of dying from starvation after stomach emptiness + 20 days, isn't your char kind of dead anyway? And I know some people don't always have notice that they're not going to play anymore, and intend to come back when they can, but this many? Idk.
I am also aware that some people use it to bolster town spawn rates, which seems to me to be cheating, a bit. It's OOC knowledge, and doesn't really help the town, because people spawn in these big, sleeping towns, and it's boring, so they sleep themselves. Adding to the issue.
I think that being eliminated will help bolster towns that - are- active. And yeah, lead to more abandoned towns, but also make more sense when people do decide to strike out to be town leaders because an active town has gotten too big for their comfort.

It's everyone own choice to feed or not. I choose to feed sleepers in hopes they wake up one day. And I do that to all sleepers I see, I just feel bad if I don't do anything and their player log in just to find their char dead.. Not chars I know who quit though. Okay well I admit I might feel a bit guilty after one died for starvation after saying OOC he/she would be gone for a while and nobody did feed that particular char. Beside feeding I of course try help newspawn into the world by giving them stuff etc. But so many anyway walk away or spawn and never speak a word that problem is also that we get people who just check what kind of game Cantr is

I would say this is just thing that would need fixing on game mechanics too, I mean some can sleep cantr years without their account timing out.

Characters who flatter, obsess, or reminisce about other characters.

Char A: Boy, I do love Char X, they always did right by their people.

(another island)

Char B: Oh, Char X. You were the best. So stop spreading those lies about them.

A, B and X, controlled by the same person, and nothing happened in town to merit such a .... spontaneous outburst of approval.

E: Not least because it paints actual honest appreciation in a poor light. And it's just tacky.

People coming to a town for trading and falling asleep like forever. I would assume they belong to the same player if 2 of them weren't a couple and if there wasn't a rule about 3 chars. I wonder would they wake up if my character invaded into their vehicles. I bet they would and call that person "Thief" even though they would be already dead by now if my char didn't feed them.

I feel the same and am seeing it a lot from certain quarters.

When characters who have been asleep for the longest time, finally pop up to say something about a character, degrading wise about a character they know nothing about as a character. Totally not OOC *sarcasm*

[Marian]

I get annoyed when people claim 'ooc motivations!' for any actions they don't like, and leave out all context while doing so, myself.

[Optimus Christ]

And pray tell since you are being -so- specific, how I had ooc motivations?

I didn't say you had ooc motivations?

Did...did you really already forget about the post you wrote? You know, the one I was responding to?

But here, I'll repost them both. Save you the trouble of scrolling up a little ways to remind yourself.

Ah, my bad and I apologize. Now that I see it and not just scrolling, its quite funny.
