In my other internet life ( sorry, I am not always totally faithful to the Mudcat),I am part of a community of people who make things for a game called The Sims. I have my own site and forum and am a member of many others.It isn't as close as this one, I doubt anywhere else could be but you get to know your fellow Simmers pretty well.

Anyway, about a month ago, a leading figure in the community died and there was a great outpouring of shock and grief. This was a married woman with a child and much sympathy was expressed for their loss.

Anyway, turns out she isn't dead at all. She faked it for reasons best known to herself.How strange is that? It was such an odd thing to do, I wondered what you would make of it?
