If people don’t want to take the time to read the post that’s their loss.

You put your heart on your sleeves and I think there will be a number of players that can relate.

Among the most active players, Torn can sometimes take too much priority in life and a reminder like this to keep the game in its place is valuable.

The motto we should all live by in this game is that “IRL comes first”.

Thanks for sharing

Now I'm glad I read the whole thing (almost quit 3 times)...I'll be needing roughly 1mil bucks worth of ibuprofen now. }>.<}

(No disrespect, this all seems to have happened before I joined but, you at least seem to be decent :-D )

Interesting reading, it feels like the plot for many films and given me a reminder not to take stat and wealth building too seriously here.

If you want something to cheer you up The Jerk starring Steve Martin will do.
'special purpose'.

I doubt many of us deserve this quality of advice provided, this deserves to be in a newspaper or even in those intro-mails new players get when they join first time.

If you are not reading the whole thing and jump to false conclusions, kindly go take a swim

Honestly pretty well written; I didn't know much about you before this as I'm even newer than you are, but welcome back :) And I hope you continue to enjoy your 2nd stay here.

Yeah, always keep things in perspective. At the end of the day it's only Torn $$$s, not really worth fussing about.
Sometimes we all need to slow down and think about the things that really matters - the sweet taste of forum karma!

That’s it man. We play games for fun, we should try and realise when we’re getting ourselves stressed and seeing it as a job almost.

Plummeting your networth is only fun when its because of SE's

Not necessarily a smart thing, not a long term play but.... beats getting nothing

Thanks for reading and thanks for seeing what I’m trying to say. As I said in the OP, if it helps but a single person - I consider it worth my effort.

It’s obviously not lost on me how lengthy this post was, and I did briefly consider the newspaper BUT, I don’t want a soap box, I wanted to open a discussion and allow people to tell me (and others) what they think about the different things I touch on. I’m not trying to hide or be proud of my mistakes, but speak openly about them and say look, I get it - I did it, it’s not the way.

It it helps one person, it’s worth it IMO regardless of the stances people may take
