I found a message in my inbox today that I found kind of odd. This is the first time I've gotten spam here on the escapist, and I'm curious to see if any of my fellow escapists have gotten something like this. Below is a direct quote from my inbox.

There was a post about this the other day. Somebody got an email and an Escapist message from a Miss Caroline.

Give me a moment and I shall try and find it.

It's some forum member having a joke I reckon.

Haven't gotten one either. I guess we passed on our Foritude check.

Wow can't say i've ever seen something like there here.
That said I would love to be employed as a spell checker for these guys, even with my meager skills I could be considered a literary master.

We were getting a similar string of spam messages on the boards I moderate elsewhere. That's what the banhammer is for.

... Huh.
I'd arm myself with something pointy, if I were you.
May I suggest a sword?
Swords are kule.

Me neither, did we roll a 20?
Yes.
(I cheated, I left my dice in the sun with the good 20s facing up so all the plastic in the middle goes to the bottom.)

I just delete all spam and stuff that looks like it might be, so I cant really say if I got one of those or not. Wierd though.

Most likely when she got to me, she realized I was married and that she couldn't have any of this, and she killed herself. I doubt she'll be a problem.
