It's a rule every GM should know; no matter how well crafted your plans, players will find ways around them. Ask rtron ;)

I'll admit, I did not see that coming when I came up with this mission.

Wells of power trait, go!

I think I need to sleep before I can make heads or tails of it though.

This'll be fun.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

It could be selfish, but does that mean it's unacceptable? Where it becomes tricky is where you weigh your needs against those of others. I know of this woman who was admitted to a mental clinic because she could not stop blaming herself over her miscarriage. Eventually she committed suicide because she could not live with the weight she placed upon herself. Sure, she still had people who loved her, and maybe there was nothing she could have done to prevent the miscarriage. Still, there's only an extent to which people can control their emotions. You can call that a lack of strength, but then I ask what kind of expectations you have of a human being?

Even being selfish by default is something I'd pull into question. I've met another girl who had struggled with clinical depression for years on end and didn't see an outcome. She was pretty much diagnosed to never 'get better.' When she made the decision to end her life she explicitly planned her suicide to cause the least possible amount of damage to her surroundings, spent months on how she would be found, how to best convince her parents it wasn't their fault, etc. On her part it was a rational decision, even if it was one that hurt her environment, but it was that or live in despair and be a constant burden on your surroundings because of it. I'm not sure if I'd shelve that under selfish.

I don't think people understand every situation and it's a subject just so far away from them that they sort of generalise it. I'll be the first to agree there's a lot of stupid people doing stupid things and that jumping in front of a car is a total jerk-move given the multitude of alternatives out there, but it's not always so simple.

As a Christian, I believe that people created for a purpose. By killing yourself, you're usually preventing yourself from fulfilling said purpose, and that's just no good.

I'm going to try really hard not to let my personal feelings on this shine though, so forgive me if I do, but I want to ask you if you believe god created you the way you are, but upholds the same bar to get into heaven regardless of the trials he puts you through, is it fair to judge persons with different living conditions or health concerns than you?

So, since it has been three weeks and we've had no recent word from Heisenberg: I think it is safe to say he must forfeit his go in favor of progressing both of Tempest's quests. I'm sure he has good reasons, as I recall he mentioned midterms, but it has been three weeks since the last GM post from Tempest, as he is held up by people.Tl;dr-Tempest-sempai, please notice us and make a post, agoo, agoo.

Yeah so I'ma second this.

I tracked your posts after a while and saw you were active with multiple ic posts elsewhere. So I feel it's pretty dishonest to say you could not have notified us earlier. So no.

Planned to be.

See if you can tell the difference between irony and sarcasm.

You know, that's not a half bad idea...

Sometimes you must pass some up to lull others into a false sense of security...
