I want politics.

I've only been playing for a few days, and in New Player Chat there have been about half a dozen times when people (joking or not) have talked about killing themselves.

I'd like to suggest that any time anyone does this, they either get a PM with the suicide hotline numbers for the countries where most players are from, or that is posted in the chat itself for others who may need help.

To make things even simpler, this page has many of them: http://ibpf.org/resource/list-international-suicide-hotlines

Thanks for your help.

Good dealer, no problems, and patient when I screwed up by pressing the wrong button. *****

A bit of convolution in this writing, so forgive me.
My mother died 12 years ago, shortly after the birth of my daughter. Her death was unexpected (reaction to medication she was taking for psoriasis), and me with an infant it wasn't easy to deal with.
When arranging to deal with her ashes, my brother asked me what days I was unavailable to go to a funeral service. She wanted her ashes to be released to the sea. I told him the days that I would not be able to attend (I was travelling for work a lot). He booked the service for one of those days (he's always been an asshole).
As it turns out, and no one informed me about this until last week, her ashes were never released due to a storm. My mother's husband (another asshole, he's not my father) took them home, then stopped all contact with my family. Because he won't return contact, no one knows where my mother's ashes are. My mother's sister wants to find them to finally fulfill my mother's wishes.
...
My parents divorced when I was 13, in 1983.
This spring my father passed away after an incredibly unhappy decade as he slowly went blind then slipped into dementia. Just before that decade he married a woman who mistreated him constantly throughout their marriage. When he was put into hospital she refused to pay for a taxi to go see him before he died because it was $15. I'll give a little leeway because she's been headed into dementia too, but she's a cast iron bitch and according to her kids was always that way.
Since my siblings and I have our own lives, and were dealing with his death, and don't much care for her bullying behaviour, and were pissed off on the way she treated my dad...we were in minimal contact. This pissed her off so much that she won't allow us to have a service for him or have access to his death certificate or deal with his ashes.
We had talked about burying them in the town he spent most of his life. She wants to bury him at sea, which I'm sure he couldn't give a rat's ass about.
Keep in mind that none of us live within a 8 hours drive of the ocean.
...
I'm not really looking for a resolution to a question here. The situations are different, but connected. Maybe we'll get a hold of the ashes one day. Maybe both my parents will be buried at sea, though not together. Maybe, over the millennia, the atoms of my parents ashes will meet and say "WTF." to each other. Maybe my mother's asshole husband will sort his shit out. Maybe my father's asshole wife will die and her kids will ask us about what to do with my father's ashes. I don't know. I'll find some catharsis, or I won't, and I will eventually die.
I've written in my last will and testament that I do not want to be cremated. That, at least, will force everyone involved to sort their shit out immediately before I rot and stink. Hopefully.

Hello! At first the book was good and I was finding some interesting stuff (like Senet pieces and coins), but first the quality dropped off (hammers, bricks, really bad guns), and then when I upgraded my Awareness the count of items found dropped from 8-10 items per day to just one.

I'm not sure what else to report except that it really changed the behaviour of this item (disappointing). If it helps, I got this book as a donator item, not a purchase.

Thanks!

Duct-Taped Hamsters

(so they don't explode when you ____ them)

In Torn City did Leslie spin
A whirly Awesome wheel rotate:
Where George, the weakest mission man
Gave players meaningless quests
To waste their energy.
And beat the lamest inactives
Duke comes to fulfill all wishes had;
And there were beatings given once again,
Black eyes purple and shattered bones;
And joyous laughter to cause pain,
Earning those mission credits.

But ow! These inactives return and see the fight logs
Down through bounties and unfair calls!
A savage place! As unholy and accursed
As e'er was throughout tainted streets
By Leslie wailing for his Brian son!
And from his mouth hole, with ceaseless chatter whining,
As if this town in rapid blows were pounding,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid fast hits open-jugular burst
Huge fragments pummelled of shattered skull,
Of pulpy brains beneath the chainsaw's flail:
And mid these spurting veins at once and ever
We flung violently the dripping plushie.
Our guns are sweeping with a easy motion
Through city and street the bloody river ran,
It reached the sewers filled full to brim,
Blood flowed in tumult to a life-filled ocean;
And 'mid this tumult Chedburn heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of nuclear
Exploded across all factions;
Where was heard the mingled screams
From the casino and the jail.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A blossomed mushroom-cloud with screams of fear!

-- Based upon Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who envisioned this while stoned to the gills on Opium. Just sayin'.

My daughter sent me this...

Bump and grind.

This faction gave me something like Stockholm Syndrome, but in a good way.
