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.


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.

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