i'll keep this quick: is quest 67 common, or is it an outlier?

it's disturbingly direct.

There have been quests such as "bury someone alive", but no, this is morbidly new.

[kuron]

morbidly new doesn't bode well.

did anyone actually bury someone alive?

yeah, it's really disturbing; there isn't anything like this before.

you new here? i haven't seen your tag around before.

It's a first like that, but it also feels the next in a series.

Like:

Push somebody in the harbor.

Bury somebody alive.

Give someone a near death experience.

Don't like where it's going, at all.

[kuron]

can't say i'm glad to learn about it, but it seems crucial information all the same.

and yes, i just arrived, if you can call climbing out of a well an arrival. do all of the new guys go through that?

[kuron]

there's a pattern, then.

[shiro isn't liking where this is headed.]

and this started only a while ago, didn't it? was there any indication of this trend beyond the announcements?

i'm shiro, by the way. can't quite say i'm glad to make your acquaintance without sounding morbid, considering the subject matter.

[troubadamsel]

I'm not certain, but I wouldn't be surprised. But I don't think it would have been done without consent, or survival. We're not like that.

[She has to believe that.]

(colour)

it's never been this bad but every now and then we'd get a terrible quest like it.

i think the first one we ever got like it was "steal someone's colour". sometimes we'd get ones like bury someone alive or throw them in the harbour but they don't need you to hurt someone.

they're more like very poorly thought out trust exercises?

but then we'd get ones like this one and the colour stealing one, one where we need to destroy someone's things and those feel like they're meant for us to hurt each other.

[kuron]

i doubt anyone would be willing to get themselves killed for this quest. is there even a guarantee of their coming back? does it work like that here?

death tends to be permanent where i come from.

[kuron]

[ these bits of information just keep getting more and more worrisome. ]

what would it even accomplish? isn't the goal here to form bonds? that's what i was told earlier, about why we're were.

how would negative bonds help? have they helped?

[allfornothing]

I'm Crowe.

I don't know that well the quests form before I showed up a few months back, but since I have, yup, definite pattern.

Also I'm not sure if last month's cutting down trees counts as part of the pattern or not. Since that tends to have consequences. And we don't get much communication outside the quest notices and the whole story thing there.

[nascere]

they do, it's kind of a pain

hey
shiro?
are you shiro?

[troubadamsel]

Actually, I have heard of people coming back from the dead here. I don't have the specific details, but it's been done.

[queenofminiskirts]

who knows what that weird cyber stalker mr. f is thinking? i'm still waiting for the day i can find him and make him cry!

just do the quests you feel comfortable with.
