Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXIV – The Evil Breath of Morgoth in Dor-lómin, Quarantine Thread

[Inziladun]

Enter, thou Infected One!

[Pitchwife]

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.)

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 just read that as a separate room in Hell.


Bedtime for me. See yous!

Oddly enough, so did I.

Welcome, Ka! Don't forget to clear your PM box so you don't miss out on where the real fun is.

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.

Oh, I didn't mean to criticise your game-setup! Game mechanics often make little realistic sense *cough* inventory management in videogames *cough*, and don't necessarily need to -- It was just something that came to my mind while I explained the game to my wife, a nurse.

Don't! Both of us did our job, all is fine.

Anyways, just a heads up I will be driving the next three days so I will only be able to really respond over my phone and if there is available service. Apologies in advance, but I really don't know how some of you do this over your phone.

You and me both. I can read on my phone, obv, but posting with fancy highlights and quotes is beyond me.

Ka, your signature is Faroese, yes?

Makes me wonder if my absence of comment on the game mechanics is further proof that I made the right choice to forsake a career path towards Infectious Diseases...

If we do have ShastaSeer, he's set up Steve for tomorrow.

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.

This is a world with talking swords, talking dogs, talking eagles, and talking trees. I won't stick at a bit of scientific inaccuracy,
