Cantr II is run by a large group of people, who all voluntarily dedicate their time to make this game as interesting and pleasant as possible. Under the policy leadership of the Game Administration Council and the daily management of the Game Administration Board, different departments concentrate on different aspects of running the game.

The Programming Department concentrates on the development and maintenance of the source code of Cantr. If you experience any bugs in the software, you should report them to bugs@cantr.net or post them in the General Support forum. They will be handled as soon as possible, but unfortunately this might still mean it will take a while, since this department is generally understaffed.

The Resources Department is responsible for the whole industrial chain of the game. They design raw materials, machines, animals, etc. If you have any ideas for new materials or machines, make your suggestion heard on the Cantr Suggestions Forum.

The Players Department is responsible for helping Cantr players to understand the game and to check whether players are following the few Game Rules we have in the game. Better to keep the PD as your friends ;) ...

The Marketing Department is responsible for making Cantr as well-known as possible in the outside world. You are probably reading about the game thanks to their work.

The Languages Department is responsible for translating the game into a large number of languages, so that non-English speakers can play in their own languages. This is not only nice for them, it also adds an interesting intercultural dimension to the game, as all language groups play in the same virtual world.

The New Lands Department was responsible for creating new islands and adding animals, roads, and resources to them, however, has been disbanded.

The Communications Department is responsible for managing and entertaining the community of players of Cantr. They publish the Cantr Webzine Stolen Notes, they moderate the Cantr Forum (link) and the Cantr Chat Channel (link to Java applet). They also develop new ideas to keep the community informed and entertained, for example the Cantr Radio Station was run by the Colonel.

See the Cantr Departments Overview on the main site for a more authoritative overview of staff.
