Somewhat suspicious?

In Kwatsjdurov, on the french island, a group of people is operating, called the Cessquetaires.

Apart from the fact they sometimes seem to act all at the same time, the player in question mixes up his characters as well...I had to listen to the exact same speech by two of the characters.

There's nothing to be suspicous about... :wink:
One of my characters belonged to the Cessquetaires fellowship, and even was one of its creators: we were three then, three chars and three player, each character having a name begining by a C (hence the name of the group).
This C char of mine is now dead, so I don't really know who belongs to the Cessquetaires right now, but I can assure you that the two "leaders" are not played by the same person.

(It's because the french are controlled by a hive mind, causing them all to be active at the same time and think the same way...because they're alien invaders like the ones in Ender's Game :wink: ) heehee.

It's not that strange if people in the language specific areas are online at the same time more often than the general area...after all, they are all in the same time zone.

Pirog....I would like to remind you that there are Francophones interspersed throughout the world : from Québec to Belgium, from Manitoba to Gabon, from Louisiana to Cairo and furthermore even into the far east, Vietnam coming to mind. So...no...we certainly do not possess any "hive mentality". In fact, all of the Francophones from all of these various countries possess quite a different culture, attitude and mentality.

Yes, but I get the feeling that the amount of French talking people from Vietnam and Africa isn't that high here in Cantr...

Of course you are correct, and it is a big time difference between Canada and France, but compared to the "mixed" area my argument is still valid.

And I have never mentioned a hive mentality...simply that there is a bigger chance of people in a language specific area to be logged in at the same time.

Yes, NVN said you were controlled by a hive mind, and I think it was a joke.

Yeah...I know, guys :-)
In fact, I just borrowed the example of the "hive mentality" joke to show how... getting back to the topic at hand... it is very difficult, quite to the contrary of what is suggested by Griogal's suspicion, to just get four different French-speaking players from two different time zones and three different cultures to meet...much less agree on anything in a supposedly collusive manner lol
