Thanks for the further information. I'm going to keep pondering about it as morbid as it may seem but as I've said before, I can't resist a good mystery.
It's what I do when I'm at work, in between calls I sit around and make notes either about this story or my own story so I thank you for giving me something to work out during the long, tedious day.

I'm sure you do enjoy trying to figure it out; that's why I've purposely avoided giving any really obvious hints. Part of the fun will be trying to work out who it is.

when you say... as a result of another's actions, do you mean like when someone gets really high/drunk and decides to go for a drive and hits said sacrifice?

Somewhat, although alcohol and drugs are not part of it. A car is, though. In a way. It's kind of hard to explain. No one gets hit by a car, though.

ok... maybe the car explodes? Or a car crash

No. The car is more of a secondary thing. Like, it breaks down, and while the person is trying to get help, something happens to them.

Ehehehehehe. Yes, I know, I'm evil for not giving more information. But I want this to kind of be a surprise.

no other way mate, right now, I'm hoping Ophelia can't drive ( I love her) I still think it's gonna be Cyrus, as if I were in Dunstans shoes, that's who I'd go for quite honestly but Cyrus is still one of my favorite characters, lol if she died some sims might think it was a hate act against transexuals it's a bit ilke the 'Some people are gay. Get over it!!' wouldn't you say so?

I'm not going to say who it is, but I will say this: it is someone who has been around since the beginning of the story.
As for the whole Cy thing, the character is based off of one of my best friends from middle and high school. Also, there's a lot of gay/lesbian/bisexual/transexual characters in the story* because several of my friends are part of that community, not to mention that I'm a supporter of GBLT rights. In fact, when I created Cy, I was worried about the potential backlash from having such an unconventional character.
*In case you're wondering who they are: Sheridon, Gideon, Mae, Julia, Cy, Ophelia, Tacita, and a few others I'm probably forgetting.

sheridon/gideon, they are gay, got that from the first part Mae - I think she's a lesbian but I'm not sure Julia - hmmm Cy/Ophelia - lesbian and for Cy transexual as well Tacita - is she Bi, by any chance?
and maybe the sacrifice is going to be ms gibson, come to think of it, she was the very first character we met... but she was the messenger...

Sheridon is gay, Gideon is bi, Mae is a lesbian, Julia is a lesbian (she's the character who hangs out with Mae and has weird red ponytails, in case you were wondering), Cy is trans, Ophelia is bi, and Tacita is bi.
As for Ms. Gibson... maybe she is, and maybe she isn't. But then again, the first character we "met," though we didn't learn her name until later in the chapter, was Tiffani (remember, she was part of the group dancing on the show...). Hmmmm...

Also, while waiting for my laptop to be repaired, I'm thinking of maybe writing an AU (alternate universe) version of the story and putting it up on here. It would be based off of how the characters were originally imagined, well before the story was written, just so people can get a kick out of how different they were (for example, Charise had a fondness for occasionally crossdressing, and Cyrus was a teen prodigy/computer genius who was a loner).

If you think that's interesting, consider that for a long time, S was an only child before I added his huge number of siblings, and that Dunstan was originally not a part of the story (he was going to be the main character of a short story I had in mind). Also, there are some characters who were not used in this story or were incorporated into new characters-- Kiyoshi (a nerdy guy who falls for Charise and settles for Delphine, a chick who looks like a white trash version of Charise), Delphine (see previous), and Ms. Underwood (alcoholic ex-actress turned teacher). Also, for a long time, the characters were intended to attend a school for the arts.
Sooo... just for kicks, I'm going to write something that is midway between WCC and the original version... let's just say that Charise makes one hell of an entrance. I've been mentally writing it, and I will start writing it shortly. Hopefully, that will tide you guys over until I can get The Laptop back.

I don't THINK I've posted before but I've been reading WCC since it started, and mulling over various names in my head as I recall something about names being a big clue. Sooo, I've been poring over baby names sites instead of sleeping. (not that I'd sleep anyway! bleh)
I have a couple of theories as to who the "sacrificial lamb" might be. The first one I thought of, her name means "Silent" or "calm." What could be more silent then ending up dead? However, I'm not sure if she counts as a "major" character or not.
The second, well, her first name means "Appearance of God" and her middle name means "Like God" or "Close to God." What could be more God-like than losing your life while trying to help someone?
I'm not going to actually put the names though, if anyone is curious they can look up all the names themselves and see if they see what I see! (which, I'll admit, is a quirky way of seeing)

I think you're right on the latter name, as she was the very first girl we saw and phheonix said the dead one to be had been here since the beginning...

Nice guesses, everyone. Not going to say if anyone was right, though. In case you're wondering about the lack of updates, I have been brainstorming, trying to come up with a good "revenge" against Dunstan. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Who said Dunstan was killing anyone (or that ANYONE was killing anyone)? You sure are making a lot of assumptions there, especially about Dunstan's involvement.
