Cantr?
Society Simulator

Hey everyone - I used to be on this board for Perplex City but was offline for a while, so my account went inactive. (deadweight) I'm not trying to spam here, just share a 'game' I enjoy.

I searched and didn't find it anywhere, so if this exists already I apologize. I couldn't believe it wasn't under here.

Cantr II

I've noticed a lot of people leaving (dying off) in game, and figured it could use a boost. If you're into hack-n-slash fast paced games, this isn't for you. (Although there are war-mongers and pirates) If you're into quest-based games where you build up your character to accomplish specific goals set by the game, it's probably not either. It's completely text-based, and you can choose what your character wants to do or be. You can also change your mind and take a different direction at any time. If you like LARP, you may enjoy this.Here's the blurb from the front page of the site:

Quote:

Cantr II is an online role-playing game, in which a large number of players play an even larger number of characters who all together form different societies all over our virtual world. Societies exist in different languages, whereby all language groups play in the same virtual world.

Playing always from the perspective of each individual character, you can try to play the worlds most famous politician, most feared criminal, most cunning military commander, most wealthy entrepreneur, or most beloved village idiot. Any role you can imagine you can play in this game and the challenge is in playing it consistently, and in achieving the goals you set for your characters individually.

Cantr II is a slow-paced game. Many players only play for a few minutes per character each day and one meeting can take a week to play. The game is designed for players who have more on their agenda then just gaming. However, you can start up to fifteen characters and when they are all heavily involved in their respective communities, they will give you enough to do for a full-time job as player! Be warned, many players experience Cantr II as being very addictive! Wink

Although some experience in a language is needed before one can play in that language group, the game can be used very well to practice your language skills in a second language. Just play one or two characters in a non-native language and you`ll be surrounded by people talking the language you are learning. Or you can play a character and so once in a while take a step back and observe what kind of societies you see forming, which can be very educational.

Note that we are in the process of translating the website in different languages. If you use the website in a language other than English, you will still most likely encounter a lot of English.

Check it out, we could use the fresh players.
