Saber Cherry is alive and well
 

Some time ago, Norfleet spread a rumour claiming Saber Cherry's death, saying:
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">and
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I wrote to SC, and after a long silence she replied with:
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Just thought I'd pass that on.

if someone is not as perpetually on irc/the Boards/making turns in games as norfleet, he claims they have died in some gruesome manner. that's just one of the things he does, and should not be taken as a serious suggestion http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hello everyone! When I learned of my death, I was going to post here to deny it (or maybe confirm it, but that would be a little shady). But the Boards were kinda down yesterday=) Anyway, it's so nice to feel loved! *sniff* =)

I posted a little screenshot (bottom link) of my progress... to show that I'm not ignoring the Dominions community just to be mean:) Please don't make fun of my artwork; I'm doing my best!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">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!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">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.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">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.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">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.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Just for the record, you used the word "undoubtedly" which, in most people's language, means that you are in no doubt.
