I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Here, the railway was three to five lanes wide, almost like walking down an empty interstate, while the occasional overpass reminded him of the car-clogged streets he had so carefully avoided.

More gunfire sounded in the sleepy city, and once again William Taggart hugged a tree and made sure his Mosin was fully loaded with a round in the chamber.

From here he decided to circle downwind. Being in the northern-Midwest meant the prevailing-wind would come from the west to east (opposite that of southern states) with wind-funnels following the local streets and other geography. As the rail went NE, and he took a side-branch due-east to approach from the south-east through the side-ally of a grocery-store. Which was just as well, since between the alley and a mall-side dental-office was a busted-up 3-wheel motorcycle and a small glut of rotters.

He also saw some guy with a shotgun directing whom he presumed was a biker-chik with an assault-rifle to attack one of the nearby buildings. He also noticed she went instead for a pistol, meaning she was low on ammo. He then saw the two exchange a few more words before the man disappeared behind the north side of the grocery-store, leaving just the girl with a pistol and her back to her.

William raised his rifle and shut the bolt with a loud clack.

"Explain yourself, how many people are with you?"

@TheMadHatter420
I'm starting to wonder if Error is sniping from this place

7001 Densin Ave, Cleveland OH. Last blog-post regarding their business was in '06.

Wait a seconds... google got that, and a town in Germany confused...

From what I gathered, @Pripovednik and @noxlux are in the same apartments, possibly the same as @Error, or at least VERY close by, @Remipa Awesome and @themadhatter420 are trying to escape from a supermarket parking-lot, but as noted, are getting shot at.

Are these observations correct, and do you mind all being in roughly the same-ish location as each other?
-And if so, where exactly (6-digit GPS grid coordinates, pls)? Keep in mind, a hundredth of a degree is a (nautical) mile (roughly 2000 meters for every 00.01 degrees, so I'm trying to get you all to agree on where everyone is +/- 20 meters*).

*Doesn't sound like much, until we find out hunter is whispering to Ashe from 40 meters away.

Or should I just freehand it?
-@Foster likes being precise, but is not above sweeping the chessboard from the table to engage in arm-wrestling.
Will post on weekend.

Although my character will begin interacting from 4 city blocks away.
No, just wondering if guns-blazing is a good idea at all, since your AR was silenced, there wasn't too much obvious gunfire yet.
...

Mosin Nagant. 80 rds of ammo. Tons of rotters converging on helpless women and a feminine dude.

FIX! BAYONETS!

Y/n?
Dince TMH's ride isn't totally wrecked yet (spare tires, and wheels, hopefully aren't going to be impossible to find) she could just ram it down the block on a flat-tire until she finds an auto-shop.

There are A LOT of repair-stations in Cleveland.

Someone's gonna pay for those wrecked-rims, though.
-*But yeah, lets corner, then draw and quarter the guy who took shots at you.

Although the running-option would probably run into my character, carrying a sniper-rifle. And y'all know Midwesterners talk with a certain farmer-drawl.
Well, I guess TMH is just going to have to kick it into MacGyver-mode.
Oh, right, it's also the sense of purpose, hopes, dreams... the things you can and are doing in society and the desire to continue those actions insofar as humanly possible.

In a way, it's why Americans are so fond of 'small talk' and idle-chatter in random places with random people, or on internet forums.

Because ALL social interactions, contribute. Some may mean more to some people than others, but for an equal amount, even those superficial interactions are enough incentive to do more.

At one point I had to write an essay, essentially justifying my existence, define my life-purpose, and outline my ambitions... caused such an emotional breakdown when my brain decided it couldn't remember anything eventful.
-This prompted an intervention. Turns out I've done quite a bit even before I was merely 16 years old, and even then, people looked-up to me as their role-model.

"Do your best to be prepared to be unprepared. I'm not dead yet, so try to keep up."
-That work ethic is pretty infectious.

If you're brave enough to take your life without flinching, you're brave enough to take it on.
I will admit that I am quite a suicidal person. I have been since I was young, and it is something that I consider frequently to this day. A lot of the times I think about it I try to come up with reasons not go through with it.

I'm interested in the perspectives of both those who are in a similar situation to myself, who have contemplated taking their own lives, as well as those who haven't. What reasons do you have for someone not to kill themselves.


Simplest reason: dying is painful, and messy. Especially when you are more or less forced to watch as they suddenly realize for themselves that instant-kills, aren't. Good times.

Last thing I've seen with half their brain-matter spilled on the pavement still kept flapping their jaws for a good 15 minutes. Think about that, while watching the clock, for 15 minutes. Unable to talk, unable to cry, unable to stop yourself from dying because the one thing that could've saved you, lies at your feet and not inside your head.

I've had a petty bad skull fracture myself, and survived. So believe me that such is not a road you want to go down willingly.
You're aggressive?

He wrecked your fancy trike.

Someone else has your rifle, and didn't shoot the bastard.

I'd be pretty pissed.
