Saber Cherry is alive and well

No, that's just when I start suspecting you might have died. It approaches greater certainty when I hear independent rumors confirming your death.

It's nice to see that Saber Cherry is still alive, though. If he had more enemies, I'd have suspected this was some sort of trick, but since reports of his death never went beyond rumor status, meh.

I'm really glad someone ressurrected Sabre Cherry, if only temporarily!

Good luck with the game project!

Let me see, Saber hasn't visited these forums in a while and you claim that you "heard" that she might have died. Take a note that this is a rumour apparently only you have heard and since she was visiting this forum it's a bit weird to have such "rumour" originate from outside, isn't it. What, some of your friends in your neighbourhood (that never seen her, know where she's living, etc.) said that she may have died and you believed it?
This whole thing seems like your fabrication and quite frankly this fabrication is really sick. To spread a rumour that somebody has died just because he's not visiting forums in a while is nothing short of it.

I forget exactly how this person came about this information. Maybe he got it from somebody else. In any case, it seemed to be as plausible an explanation as any, and I had no reason to disbelieve it, as I don't have any grudge against Saber Cherry, so didn't see a need to investigate further. Had I had some sort of beef against Saber, I'd have absolutely demanded to see a body, naturally: People who you detest have an obnoxious habit of surviving death and have to be killed very thoroughly. People you don't mind, on the other hand, die at the drop of a hat. It's just the way the universe works.

I never billed it above the status of "rumor", so it's your own fault if you put more stock in it than I did. The fact remains that at the time, it was a plausible, and surprisingly common, reason for individuals spontaneously disappearing from forums where they were extremely involved in, from personal experience gained from other forums.

Just for the record, you used the word "undoubtedly" which, in most people's language, means that you are in no doubt.

Lol, Norfleet. You have, so far displayed in these forums that you are incredibly sceptical, or to quote you:

I can be a nice guy, but I'm also just as skeptical and untrusting as I appear, if not more so. It's a trait that has kept me alive. If I wasn't this way, I'd already be dead.

from this thread http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=74;t=003151

So you want us to belive that you heard some 3rd person that doesn't have a clue who Saber Cherry was that she died (a very likely event indeed ) and posted this on the forum. Something doesn't fit, now does it?
Not to mention how likely was that this information is true and how unlikely that "sceptical" person would accept such information without "further investigation". To put it short, I don’t buy it.

And YOU and only you are the originator of this rumour in this forum so don't put a blame on anyone else, please. Even if that someone else doesn't exist.

Given that I had no reason to doubt the rumor, as stated below, I therefore had no doubt about it. Of course, I still stated it was a rumor, admittedly one which we had no reason to doubt given evidence to the contrary, unless, of course, you had some sort of grudge against Saber Cherry. But since everyone likes Saber Cherry, why would we have doubted such a thing?
