AD: [custom] Cantr II - the unique experience! From: jelkink@yahoo.com (Jos Elkink) Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2003 10:59:07 +0000 Cantr II is a multi-user, online, mostly text- and webbased simulation game whereby the whole social world is developed by the players. There is no prewritten history, no fixed economic or political system, no programmed money or predefined roles. You decide what your character is like and what his or her goals are like, and your challenge is to play your character consistently and reach the goals. Most goals require cooperation - can you trust your fellow characters? Who should you ask? What are they up to? What is happening on locations you don't see and that might be consequential to you? That's what the game is all about. Your character will have limited information and will be dependent on all those characters around him or her, and yet you try to reach your goals, while playing your characters' personality consistently. And all these characters together form one society, with powerful people and powerless ones, with different economic, political and military structures. Peaceful cities and imperialistic ones. Wealthy and poor ones. The history is not written by the gamemaster, but over time, history is being written by all these characters together. The game has been running for about 1.5 years now, and there is a common experience: a bit hard to get into, for a few days, but once you're involved ... Join the experience!
