So, let me get this straight. According to you, there is no doubt ("undoubtedly") that an event has occurred which is, in some meaningful way, similar ("something of this sort") to Saber Cherry having died in a gruesome fishing accident. You are certain of it.

This is despite that fact that the most common reason (by a looong way) for people disappearing from forums is a loss of commitment or interest in the forum topic.

My view on this is supported, but not proved, by the fact that at the time in question, she dropped out of a game in which she was allied with me, saying she just couldn't face hours of turn preparation any more.

I think that, contrary to your rumour, SC just got a life.
