Saber Cherry is alive and well

[Zapmeister]

Some time ago, Norfleet spread a rumour claiming Saber Cherry's death, saying:

I seem to recall hearing from somebody that Saber Cherry was killed in a gruesome accident during a fishing trip sometime in mid-April.

and

...it's reasonable to expect that something of this sort has undoubtedly occurred.

I wrote to SC, and after a long silence she replied with:

Sorry it took me a while to reply... I haven't checked this email address in several weeks. What a strange rumor! Hmm. No, I did not die in a fishing accident. Actually, I've been very busy developing my own little game=) Game development is harder than I thought. I've been actively avoiding Dominions II and game forums in general because once I start, I tend to lose several productive days, or weeks, before I realize what happened=) But thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Just thought I'd pass that on.

Heh, "Fish" and "April" in the same sentence - for a Frenchman at least, it's an obvious clue that the information is bogus.

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

Sugoi!

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!

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.
