Thought or Rant of the day!!!

SNOWWWW!
It's snowing here. Which is the south. And we've never had snow this early in the winter.
AHHH!
It's already melting, but still. It was almost a whole INCH and it snow for like, hours! Hard! It was awesome.

I wouldn't mind an inch, but the three foot of snow that we got in a week last year was a bit much.

(BTW, I think your .sig line is absolutely hilarious considering your posts in a different thread)

Yeah, having quite unseasonably cold weather here too, as well as being rather wet (although those really cold days failed to be on the wet ones, therefore no snow *grumbles* ) so it is certainly shaping up to be an interesting winter!

I hate it when you accidentally find out something super important that's going to have a wreck everything for your favorite character and you can't do anything about it without a CRB. ARGH!

Seriously I'm finding myself half-tempted to just hit the unsub button and be done with it...

And this boys and girls is why blabbing about your chars on the forum is always always a bad idea!

It's a multiplayer game, you just gotta accept that sometimes things go differently than originally planned. It can be fun to play a character whose life gets totally wrecked, as long as they survive, and favorite characters can change.

I understand this entirely.

It gets old really fast.

[Arenti]

Ahh don't unsub. If you give your other chars some more attention you might have fun again. My favourite char mostly changes each week.

The problem is really just that I get waaaay more into my characters than is remotely healthy. As in, when I'm writing for them I can get to thinking of their 'inner monologue' in the first person, and their emotional state can actually effect me in RL (to the point where a couple of times I've caught myself literally shaking during an intense situation) unless I forcibly remind myself that 'Screw it, it's just a game," and then go do something far away from my computer for awhile. Of course the problem then becomes that games are supposed to be fun, and once I finally manage a little distance and perspective I find it hard to get all that excited about logging back into the 'complete-emotional-ruin-and-destroying-everything-this-fictional-person-who-feels-like-a-real-person-ever-believed-in' simulator.

I don't think I'm seriously going to unsubscribe, but the thought did cross my mind. I mean, I only have three characters, and not counting the downtime they're only five days old. If they're already capable of getting me this upset maybe I'd be better off cutting my losses now before I get even more involved, or they get involved with more characters.

I honestly have no idea why the hell Cantr effects me like this, I've been involved in tons of other serious RPs in various forms and none of them have ever had the ability to screw with me this way. Why couldn't I have just gotten addicted to heroin instead.

[Arenti]

Yes I know what you mean. And I think most of us have experienced feelings like that.

Cantr is unique in its approach to RP though, and it kind of puts you deeper into your character than anything else out there (imo of course). I am attached to my characters too, but keep myself distanced from them as well. When mine have died, it has been quite saddening but never to the point of being emotionally destructive.

Cantr is internet heroin.

My favourite char mostly changes each week.

I feel the same way, although there are times where that can even change on a daily basis.

Lol, would that be the sex thread? Yeah. It's even more funny 'cause the one I was talking about WAS a dude.

[Doug R.]

I can't get back into Cantr. This last downtime, after the two month downtime, absolutely killed my spirit. My characters are wandering around as empty, emotionless shells. My apologies to those who's characters are depending on mine. I'll keep going, but it's not the same. The magic seems to be gone. Hopefully, things will change.

I know the feeling with most of mine too.

[SumBum]

The connection with some of my chars has gotten even better, and some far worse, since the downtime. I hope that magic returns for you, though.

[Cdls]

Yeah, the downtime really killed quite a few connections with mine too. Strangely though, there is only one that actually bothers me as a player because it seems to have been a total change, completely irrational.

[Joshuamonkey]

To be honest, for me, I feel like I'm more into my characters than I was before. I think I've changed a lot in these last few months though.

I'm still waiting for some people to wake up though..
