Sketchy actions in Doryiskom

Public discussion channel to report possible breaches of the capital rule and for the public investigation of suspected cases. Note that in many cases it might be preferred to report such cases in private to players@cantr.net instead of on this forum.

1) Your characters are not automatically a family, a clan, a tribe, an army, a company, or so on - not necessarily even friends.

I think the words "automatically" and "necessarily" should be removed from the description page because it implies that these things are possible, even allowed, as long as you don't do it immediately and it is roleplayed correctly. Which isn't true.


It's very misleading. When I was a noob, back in the 200's or so, I just got my characters to introduce themselves to each other, 'make friends' and start cooperating. Didn't help that my first two characters spawned in the same town, Pok. So now a monument to my noobness stands in Pok. Residence of Ganymede and Poisedon. :D

First off, I apologize if anyone has a problem with the way I play the game, and if this message offends anyone, again, I apologize.

Now, to first address what kinvoya says, I am over 14. Second, my characters have not, ever in the past, and do not plan in the future, to help each other, or cooperate in a project. I have already explained numerous times that Alysonn plans on leaving the minute she gets the food to do it, so I don't see a problem with them holding a friendly conversation.The most interaction that they have had, at all, is to hold a conversation. Would you rather I sit and play one character in Dory only and have the other one die? As far as I know, at lest two characters in this particular area in Cantr will always be awake at the same, seeing as how I speak with the same people everyday with my other characters. Therefore, as far as I know, I have broken no rules, and I have done nothing wrong. If anyone sees this differently than I do, or again, if anyone is offended, I apologize.

Didn't Dave Seese have about 3 or 4 characters in Pok in those days? All the Star Wars names?

I even had two Rangers for a while, though they both joined for their own IC reasons, only spoke once or twice (they were assigned to different areas) and one quit after about 9 years.

None of us had a great grip on the CR in those days (and it wasn't explicated as well, either) but these days it's better explicated and there's more people around who have played for a long time and understand it. And we understand (often firsthand) that it's more trouble than it's worth to have your characters be close friends.

But we understand that you're not an 'oldbie' and you seem to be handling yourself well enough.

Ok, back to my original point, there is no rule against having two characters become friends, if they're in the same town. If they want for you to not have them friends, they should take out the "automatically" and Necessarily, like kinvoya stated. Her two characters that have similar names...they're NOT her fault that they're in the same area...that's where they both SPAWNED. She can't help it if they have similar names and happened to spawn in the same area. It's random...not her choosing.
I just don't think it should have been brought up in the first place, as she's done nothing against the rules.

Please don't discourage people from reporting odd or suspicious activity. About 95% of all reports the PD gets are in fact situations where there is a problem.

Since the player in this particular situation has been identified publicly, I won't say if this is one of those 95%, but will note that the player does appear to have a good understanding of the CR for someone so new to Cantr.

Jeslange, I wasn't trying to discourage them from reporting me, I was merely trying to understand why it happened. I was confused, because as far as I knew, I hadn't done anything wrong. And so far, no one has told me otherwise, besides other players on Cantr, ie. the one that reported me, and others that have posted on this thread. And again, as I've said before, as soon as Alysonn is finished getting mushrooms, she's leaving to go traveling...anyways, the point is, I wasn't trying to discourage them from reporting me, I was merely confused as to why it happened.
