I had fun with this game, but after going a month without a computer I have fallen out of character, and I cant seem to get back in character. This is the second time this has happened to me, so I wont bother the players department with making a new account. I love how unique this game is. The way how people find out that different situations call for different cultures and governments. Most people who go to this site are either british or american, or at least in a different democratic country. Players learn that communism can be a good thing, or dictatorship, or a mix. I find it helped me understand real world politics better. In fact, I will be pursuing a degree in political sciences soon, and I was inspired by this game, and its creator, Jos. I might still post on here, because I would like to continue to communicate with the people I have befriended through this game, namely Chris, Cosmo, TJ, Jerry, and Jos. This is a good game no doubt, but there are too many factors forcing me to quit this game for now. Perhaps I will be back in 2004.
PS Sorry to the players dept for unsubscribing for the 2nd time this year... I know it isnt healthy for the game
Bye Cantr.... for now

Yes but this is the second time this has happened to me. I reacted the same way as you the first time. But it's a stress on the players department, and I dont want to be a bother. But you are right, sometime in the future I may rejoin. It's just too good of a game to pass up. (plus I want to get a degree in political sciences, and this is a good way to learn, as well as discussing it with other players)

Hate to see you go, again, but I know how it goes. It is hard to get going after you take off for a while, I've taken a couple breaks since I've been playing and it took me weeks to get back into things. But I think we'll be seeing you again some day... lol... Cantr is addictive as hell. Good luck, man, drop me an email sometime.

Cantr got you into political science?! That is cool!! ...
If you didn't know - I'm a political scientist myself, and the game that lead to Cantr, the lego game I write about on some pages, was part of my inspiration to go for a political science degree ...
Don't worry about re-applying sometime. Maybe just very few characters at first?

Credit!
I've joined a program called Student Link for my high school (at least when others are in it) career. I'm using cantr as the main source for my government and social studies credits. Every hour playing counts towards the 25 hour minimum per week.
