A history lesson

A photograph of Ether from Starkadium. Her vacuum arm is obscured by her hair.

Sophie "Ether" Lastnamewithheld used to text roleplay when she was a wee net-rat. Then she read fanfiction. Then she joined a fan-based forum and text roleplayed a bit there. She first played mafia online when it was introduced to that forum in a messy, messy form. Ether was fascinated by the game and discovered 'Scum on its Wikipedia entry. She lurked without an account for a bit, left for summer camp for three weeks, then joined upon her return on July 24, 2006.

Ether quickly attained fame as a ScumChatter with healthy levels of sanity, maturity and libido. There was this awesome Momir game where she blatantly speedlynched Skruffs twice as a serial killer for the win. Her uPick games take a ridiculously long time to prepare. Her ScumChat visits are much less frequent nowadays, but she's usually on AIM at CaffieneDeity to talk theory or mod a game.

On the forum scene, Ether steadily became lurkier and lurkier, and eventually flaked from the site entirely in early May 2007 without a word. She returned on July 26th, and insists that anything earlier than that is not canon. (Except possibly Newbie 259, an ironic origin story. She's never scum anymore, which is good because her town play is noticeably more active and enjoyable for everyone involved.) After playing reliably for about a year, Ether has polarized into an unstable lurkerspammer. She perceives no in between, even if you do, and it's easy for her to get into a cycle of lurking if she ever slows down. She should get over this.

Ether has attended three 'Scum meets so far: Starkadium and Yosarian's Parents' BeachBam in 2008, and Yosarian's Parents' BeachBash in 2009. She has also hosted one of her one: Caffwagon. This may or may not count as attending. She mostly sings karaoke and sleeps.

Little known facts

Ether does not have a conventional left arm. It was removed in a surgery which replaced it with a vacuum cleaner. (Chainsaw arms, alas, require a license.) This is how she eats so quickly. Her unique appendage can also equip some accessories which human arms can't: most notably, she can equip Glork at will to redirect his deadly glorking abilities.

Ether is not a nun. She is not Angelina Jolie. Her screen name is not obscene and should not require the use of asterisks. She does not live in Middlesex. She is not 26, but she is at an age where she enjoys being told that she gives off 26-vibes.

Ether is a Mith minion. This loyalty has cost her; the Council of ScumChat expelled her from the clique for fear that she was a cultist. She insists that she has a dual win condition, but admits that there are some drawbacks to this. Incidentally--if you're eligible (read: female), you should join Ether, Talitha, Ibby, Bookitty, Mizzy and countless other role models. You should be a Mith Minion.

Games

Although Ether started playing on Mafiascum in July 2006 immediately after joining, she doesn't really want to talk about her first year of play. And it's not gonna help you meta her anyway. So we'll start with July 2007. Comments later, possibly.

    • I was replaced not for inactivity but for a slip that gave me more information than I should have had. That makes the outcome a bit more painful...maybe I could have pulled out a win.
  • Newbie 530
    • (Replaced out Page 7; alive 6 pages.) Mafia roleblocker, replaced Day 1.
  • Egypt Mafia
    • (Replaced in Page 75; alive 20 pages.) Pro-town sort-of-confirmed mason ("Osiris"), sort of endgamed. Sort of a draw.

Ether is truly a kind hearted soul who rescues kittens, feeds the homeless and ocassionally will even make the sun come out and play. Any slight one reads in her posts should be disregarded because it's an obvious misinterpretation.
