Note that we'd coordinated after to try and see if it could happen again - couldn't get it to.

(I checked both Magic and Mutant origin characters and both list Sorcery.)

Players have long wished that character origin counted for something other than which DOs and SOs you can buy. Maybe this is how that will be implemented.

On Sunday I made a "Clown Mastermind" and edited the bio to make it look like I had Clown MM powers, and I stood around in Atlas Park for 4-5 minutes to see if anyone would ask me about it. No one did, and I got bored, so I logged in a different charcter.

I can think of three South Carolina mothers that have made national news, one of which may have even made international news. That's just off the top of my head, there may be others that I'm not thinking about right now.

One was convicted of killing her two sons, then putting them in a car and staging a crash into a river to make it look like accidental deaths.

Another is a more recent event with a mother charged with unlawful neglect after her child was taken to an emergency room (someone else called 911 when the mother didn't take them to get treatment for a fever). When the child's diaper was removed in the ER, maggots fell out of it. Also, tests of the blood and urine of the child came back positive for traces of marijuana.

The last one is another recent event of a teenaged mother intentionally stuffing a cotton ball sized object (part of a stuffed toy) down her child's throat. The incident was caught on video surveillance placed in the room to try to find the cause of some unexplained incidents since the child had a "history of life-threatening episodes".

I think the first one made international news as well as national news.

Perhaps I'm privileged in the fact that I can see that there is a significant portion of our Community who is excited by vanity pets and show us so. It may not be good for me, but it's good for other people who really enjoy this type of content.
