Getting a 'sinking' feeling about SH5

Dan and Mihai should both be honorary recipients of the Best Of Subsim avatar.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Likewise, GreyOctober is another virtual actor. His role is a "silly version of Dan".

I'm glad to see you're keeping your great sense of humor through all this.

Neal of course is d'Artagnan....chasing after you on a pre-owned donkey shouting "where's our game?"

So Dan is a bitter but wise man with a tragic past, whose main goal in life is to drink himself into oblivion.

Mihai is a friendly but not-to-bright giant who follows a rough crowd because he doesn't know any better, and will die because of his friend's treason.

Grey October is ambitious beyond his capabilities, dreams of becoming a simple priest but will ultimately try to take over the world, all the while wishing he could go back to his old life, and whose best friend will die cursing him.

And poor Neal, the ingenue who may well be the best ever at what he does, but is doomed to a life of mediocrity, can only rise to his full measure by throwing in with his enemies, and will die on the very day he achieves his fondest goal.

Sorry, I know you weren't being that literal, but the simile was so much fun I couldn't help myself.
