Saber Cherry is alive and well

No, a rumour is in doubt by whoever holds it to be a rumour. You said that that you never gave it higher status than a rumour, therefore you held it to be a rumour, therefore you hold it to be in doubt. Contradicting your other statement. How clear does it have to be before you'll admit it?

I, unlike you, don't have some sort of grudge against Saber Cherry that would necessitate stalking him by email just to confirm whether or not he had died.

So now you're concluding that a single email, sent to confirm or refute your rumour, constitutes "stalking" and demonstrates that I have a grudge against SC?

Come back when you can make some kind of sense.

... this is a rumor about somebody's death. Somebody I have nothing against. So why would I have any reason to be concerned? Now if it had been the rumor about somebody I didn't like, such as, say, Stormbind, dying, I'd have demanded immediate verification so that appropriate action (rejoicing) could be taken. But since I have nothing against Saber Cherry, there was no reason to have to plan any kind of action in response, and therefore, no cause for such concern.

This is insane. I hope that you are just roleplaying and muckraking for your personal amusement and are not really THIS freaking nuts.

This displays a pure disregard for the value of anyone elses life, except to the extent it helps you settle any personal vendettas you might have. This attitude is the enemy of functional society.

One out of the two is not bad, especially as the one that we still have it SC... Unfortunately, all the projects she thought up seem to be dead. I have some interest in modding, and have though about making a mod or two using the (general) ideas SC threw around... But that is a long way to go. I want to try the nations I still haven't, atleast for some turns, before I go on and make up my own.

I think we've been over this before, but in truth, unless somebody has some personal meaning to me, I just don't feel anything for them. When you consider that there are over 6 billion random people on the planet, and more of them will die, and even more will sprout, then even Ashen Empire is allowed to have, the sense of impact is rather lost. So yes, it's safe to say I don't really place terribly much value on lives....because there's so much of it, and it's so perniciously difficult to be rid of, that can no longer be considered a scarce commodity as far as I'm concerned. Only when somebody is particularly important does their existence or nonexistence really matter to me. Everyone else exists in a sort of state of irrelevance: Live or die, I shrug, and life goes on.

Enemy of functional society? Hardly. You don't see me going on a rampage and killing people for no good reason. Society would actually function better if people got less worked up over everything.

Regardless, I suppose it's good to hear that Saber Cherry is still alive, at least for the moment.

I don't know if you realize it but you have just proven that Demosthenes is right - you are antisocial person and such persons are always destructive to themselves and to their surroundings, directly or indirectly.

If anything, this statement/attitude will alienate you from the rest of the forum quite fast. Also, there is nothing to "get over" in such attitude - it can be ignored until it materializes itself into some more solid form, like posting false rumours of someone’s death which is almost similar like going to some family and claiming that a their mother/father/someone has died. Like I said, it's sick AND it's destructive.

You claim that you don't care about SC but you did care to post a rumour that she died to the rest of us who DO care.

I was simply passing along what I had heard. Given that the *USUAL* cause for sudden disappearance *IS* death or severe injury of some kind, it wasn't an unreasonable conclusion. Obviously, Zapmeister found this of sufficient personal importance, for whatever reason, to probe the matter at length, and has discovered that Saber Cherry is still alive, which is certainly good news. I don't see why you insist on belaboring the point. Don't shoot the messenger. Sheesh.

Wow... I mean... wow.

For the Norfleet hating, I would've said such a thing as a joke. Since nobody would believe me (usually the case) or care (usually not the case, like in this one), life goes on and nobody's feeling gets hurt. Frankly, I think you guys need to keep your sense of humor and see that Norfleet is obviously playing a joke with this name, and his mean side, while some other forum-dweller is probably his real personality.

For Saber Cherry's game, OH MY GOD! IT LOOKS AWESOME! Screw Dawn of War, I'm going to buy Cherry's game and play it 'til I drop, then I'll start a cult, worshipping Saber Cherry and the game with human sacrifices and violent submachine gun rampages! (If you believe that, I don't know what to say)
