One great thing about having so many bloggers in Canting is that it seems to get mentioned in a lot of blogs. LOL Full of Pie has just written a really touching one, 'How I Found Canting Away'. I'm going to use this as an excuse to ask people a few questions. Please note the polls above for your replies.

 

It's a little problematic doing it this way these days. In the old days, those in Canting were exclusively Slammers (members of Sal's Realm of Runescape). That isn't necessarily now. As word of mouth has spread (see aforementioned bloggers), then we have people in there from several others forums, plus those disdaining forums completely. This makes it incredibly hard to be as democratic as I'd like us to be. My vision of Canting isn't even that it's a benign dictatorship. It should be a fraternity/sorority. The reason that people tend to all get captain level membership is because that is the level required to start a clan wars on Canting's behalf. In short, anyone with that silver star could enter us into something.

 

Unfortunately there's a limited number of silver stars. The ranks all rely upon my personal friends list. That only has 200 slots. Jagex announced freaking months ago that eventually there would be a division between clan lists and friends list. This doesn't appear to have happened. This means that Canting Away is usually largely populated by dozens of people without stars, nestled between others (no better or worse than themselves in terms of tenancy). This isn't fair. I know that many people have said that they don't give a monkeys, but some secretly (or loudly) do care. I've had instances where people have been quite upset about this. Usually someone like TheArcturus1 then offers to gift that person his star, because he knows, like any Canting veteran knows, that the silver star doesn't mean much. Just that you can start a game of Clan Wars.

 

Before Jagex made that announcement, I was musing over a solution. It's highly imperfect and will soon see us run out of stars again, but it might be a stop-gap. Something that Pie wrote has bubbled this idea to the surface of my musings again. Should we start an actual Canting Away cc? I mean create a character called Canting Away, whose whole purpose in life is to facilitate a chat channel. Much as W60_penguins, as a character, probably isn't getting high combat levels. This will remove from the mix people who are my friends, but never go into Canting. It would also make us easier to find. After all, there might be others, like Pie, who searched Canting Away, not knowing that you have to enter Merch Gwyar to get into the cc. There's a poll at the top of this entry for you to vote on that.

 

(Edit: Slight technical hitch. Someone already has both Canting_Away and CantingAway. *blinks* Who are you? I have deep suspicions involving Reaver. >.> Second technical hitch: Grief just pointed out that you only have 100 ppl on the friends list in f2p)

 

Second big issue, who are Canting? Even I couldn't give you a definitive list these days. As far as I'm concerned, if you've ever visited the cc for more than five minutes and I haven't subsequently banned you, then you're a member of Canting. However, this place is full when I'm curled up in my bed and I might never have met you. I couldn't tell you how many of us there are, let alone our names. I've just registered us on Runehead, so I can try to create a list of our names. I'll get a response in 24-48 hours to see if we've been successful in the registration. Therefore I'd like to hold a census. Could you please comment with a list of all the people you've seen there? Past or present. Screenshot the Canting clan lists when you're in there, if you like, or just type out a list. If we're successful in Runehead, then I'll add all of the names there. If we're not, then I'll try to find somewhere else to do it.

 

Thirdly, Kienayar has PMed me about the official clan event announced by Jagex, The Triumvirate. Do we want Canting to enter? I've had a quick read through and barely understood a word of it, but I'm happy to enter us, if you would like that. Again a poll is attached at the top.

Well, we shud have a Canting cc someday... I mean, your 200 people friend's list is filled with people from Canting. If you moved your chat to Canting cc, then in your own, private friend's list, you can add someone you met in game, not just someone from Canting.

I'm fine with whatever course of action you take. Just go with what's easier on you.

 

As for the runehead, it's best if you stick with regulars, as I know some people dislike being randomly added to memberlists without their concession. Although I don't really have a problem with it.

You forgot Ferus Deity on the list ^_^

Ive always loved canting how it is, keep it how it is, maybe in the future we can grow more and get a diff cc, but for now stay the same :D

For the CC, really Merch you are the boss so go with what is easier for you...

Arcty, Coss, Aximili and Nezzy (:

 

 

And I voted Yes for new cc, I think it would make things a lot easier on you, and No on the jagex event.

Argh I wanna change my vote lol. I said no for the first question and I wanted it to be yes.

You forgot me :P. I am a canting member too :D.

on the poll, ithink it would be a good idea to have a canting away character, but that would mess the whole star thing up, you (merch) would be general, generals would have to move down to captains, captains down to lieutenant ect. i havent clue about the second poll, but i voted the top one anyway. and the people that are online in canting now are ;

Aquarianpixi

Bass daddy

Ferus deity

Firemakers

Grief is fun

IVIilitarius

Lucas 2am

Neo avatars

Rafftank

Reinikins

Xcurt.

Thats all the people on now, some of them are already down.oh.wait. i think theyre all down there =D and i wouldnt mind paying for membership for the canting account

Whiskas

I don't think we sh'ould enter the Tri-thingy, but if we did we should join The Judges.

Cxkslei

I do not consider myself part of Canting, but I think it's a good advice extension. But that's me.

Tanya

Yay, I'm already on the list. :D As for the Canting Away character, you've already pointed out the technical hitches, so I'm not sure how helpful it would be (if at all). I think there's more cons than pros to moving the cc to a different character, so I'd probably suggest sticking with it being Merch Gwyar.

 

As for the Triumvirate... I tried reading it and didn't really understand it, so I have no valid opinion really. :D

Kayla

omgsh that list got so long 0_o

Lucas 2am

Yup, I turned off comp, studied for 1 hour, turned on comp, opened the blog and the list had went ballistic... CANTING AWAY FTW!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy

Posted

I'm a Canter :D

 

I personally don't see the point of the Triumvirate. Just seems like another reason for people to quarrel with each other.

nezantra

I can't really say who I see in the chat alot because many people only play if they happen to have membership and for many Canters that comes infrequently (eman, zoorhana). Were I you; I would make a table and using general word of mouth rank people based on how much they are in the cc, if they are mature and respectful, willing to participate in activities and willing to help lower level players. :P A high calling but those are the areas I would inspect the most. As for friend list space, I would try and contact Jagex and see what they say about making a separate list for clan chats and if you can't just make do with what you have. I think its a wonderful idea for us to do the Triumvarthingie and I don't care what team we join

Helm Lardar

Hurrah, I'm on the list!

I'm not sure we should join a Triumvirate yet. ~See what the challenges are first, because clan wars as their only idea is pretty lame. If they make something lie a levelling competition though, I'd love it!
