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)

No, there isn't another Norfleet on this forum. Somebody on this forum, however, whose name eludes me at the moment, has obviously taken advantage of this, and my failing memory, to plant this rumor on me as a practical joke, knowing that I wouldn't be obsessive enough to stalk Saber Cherry and actually find out, and undoubtedly planned on my failing memory not to remember his name. It was some obscure name that was hard to remember anyway.

Was that you? I can never remember your name. I think his name might have started with an H, but I'm not sure. Did you pull this stunt on me? I assure you if you did, and you lied to me about this, as is apparently the case, I'll be sure to *VERIFY* your death when I hear about it before reporting it! It better not have been you.

To be honest....I'm not sure what this game is. Those bugs look good enough to eat, though.

Actualy, on a more serious note, Saber Cherry's game could be fun. I mean, Dominions is fun and it has crappy graphics.

Dominions + Battle Realms graphics = God

Yes, but crappy graphics means "Will run on my computer". The new super photorealistic 3D graphics sure looks nice, but doesn't necessarily add anything to the game beyond inflated development budgets, and inflated system requirements.

What *IS* Saber Cherry's game? I'm not sure what it even is, aside from a guy who is, apparently, firing some sort of shotgun off at what doesn't appear to be anything in particular in a worldspace populated by what appears to be either giant bugs, or miniature people with miniature shotguns. What does this game involve? How do you play it? And what is that THING? Is it shiny?

This is all purely a fabrication of my own overly creative imagination..
But it looks like it could be called "Nannite Warriors:the future of pest control"

Hmmm if thats NOT the concept then it certainly could be. I can see where it would allow for using all the standard "I want to be able to use this" stuff in the game, still be unique, but not so unique that the player has trouble grasping it.

I like the idea. HEY SHRAPNEL! LOOKY LOOKY!

Now I'm *sure* that Demosthenes was correct in thinking that you're insane. Only certifiable nut-cases, or spec-ops guys (not that there's a difference), eat bugs. Ick. Yuck. Bleh.

Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it. And remember: It's not a bug, it's a feature! Where've you been, anyway? What happened to your AAR?
