Maybe we're about to see the real one.

Welcome, Ka - grab a disinfected glass and sit all the way over there. I would welcome you more cheerfully, but, you know, we have certain policies towards the Infectors here.

But then again, hey. We are all in the same quarantine. You can join us toMorrow in voting Bri...

-or will you, huh? Will you???

Inziladun · 05-15-2020, 03:01 PM

And there was much rejoicing!

Galadriel55 · 05-15-2020, 03:02 PM

Welcome, Ka!

Inziladun · 05-15-2020, 03:03 PM

Enter, thou Infected One!

Pitchwife · 05-15-2020, 03:05 PM

Go Shasta! And welcome, Ka!

(Incidentally it just strikes me, it makes zero realistic sense to quarantine the sick together with the healthy, does it? Except if you hope we'll all develop herd immunity.)

Huinesoron · 05-15-2020, 03:08 PM

Hey Ka, welcome to the party.

Realistically you should isolate the sick and quarantine the potentially sick. Though in practice, that kind of is happening, since the Wolves can talk behind the scenes. It's like the truly infected have a separate room in the Hall.

I actually thought about that when planning this one. But then I realized, there was no way of telling whether one is ill or not, at least with everyone - and you had no idea what that weird spell of Morgoth was either.

Add to that, it's a small village with little or no larger spaces that can be locked up.

So I thought it was decentish enough an idea to get over with and get the game rolling with a "Quarantine Thread" being able to play and take part in the Game itself.

But yes. I can list several inconsistencies in the narrative universe already, but let's not let them spoil a fun game.

Heh, I started to answer to this more or less tongue-in-cheek and now it reads like I'm making a serious defence of my game-mechanics...

So really no problem here, let's just have fun with this and believe in the make-believe.

Welcome, THE Ka! Glad to have you with us!

You're in the good place.
