Thoughts and prayers, and hug-filled good vibes sent your way as that's the best I can do from here. Wishing you all the best.

Yeah, you should take all the time you need, of course.

Just for your knowledge, the reason that I am out right now is my daughter passed away on Monday. I thought y’all deserved to know at least.

Oh my gosh I am sooooo incredibly sorry. I am heartbroken for you. Please please get help through this, I can’t even imagine. So much love to you and your family right now.

I have no idea what to say to that. I'm so incredibly sorry.

That is just...

I am so sorry for your loss.

I also don't know what to say, other than thank you for somehow managing to think about us, during what must be an absolutely horrendous time.  Now don't think about us anymore, just get through this.

As if losing my daughter wasn’t enough, yesterday I lost my 4-legged best friend to a hyper aggressive tumor that grew in his abdomen. The day after my wife and I complete our road-trip to get to the Pacific Northwest from Columbus Ohio. This has honestly been the shittiest two weeks of my life and I needed to vent. I’m sorry to dump this on y’all but I had to tell someone that I’m struggling mentally and too many people close to me are emotionally wrecked to handle it.

You need to dump it somewhere, I have no problem with it being here. Sometimes letting those fingers fly while you're typing helps a bit, too. I have no idea what it feels like to loose a daughter, but I have lost several dogs and know those feelings all too well.

Huge hugs, man. Terribly sorry for all of it.

Oh no. Holy crap. I’m so incredibly sorry. I’ve lost beloved pets too and that’s heartbreaking enough without it being on top of everything else you’re dealing with. Please please vent to us anytime. It’s so important to have the ability to express grief and pain and we’re here for you. If you ever need to pm me or anything like that, please do. Sometimes unloading our grief on others really helps.

I'm sorry for taking so long to reply.

I've tried to write something many times now, but everything I come up with just feels so completely inadequate.

Just know that we're all thinking about you and that this is a safe space where you can vent as much as you like.

We're listening :)

But, please consider counselling, if you haven't already.  Especially if those closest to you are unable to provide the support you need.

It's been a hard time, but I think that I am in a okay place to pick things back up again. Thank you everyone for your support and I am looking forward to posting for you again. Expect something to be up by this weekend.

Take all the time you need. We're just pleased to have you back in any form at all, no matter when that will be. Definitely looking forward to playing again.

Don't go jumping the gun.  There really is no need to rush into anything.

But if you're sure, then that's very good to see :)

It really is okay. I hope that this will help me focus on something else besides the loss.

Speaking of the game, have y'all decided on a course of action? I don't mind waiting for the group to hash out the plan before i post.

Herrin: For your roll, to track down an individual, you would need investigation.

Ah. That's right. Thanks!

Update coming soon. Just trying to get things in line.

Sorry, but just to be clear: did each of us spot the pickpocket?

That's the first I've heard of it, so no. ;)

The secret is out :)

I love using that function.

Haha, oops >>

Its a little weird when you see a post and have no idea that other people have not seen it. :D

My life has been tossed upside down the past year and I have decided to shutter this game for good.

Thank you everyone for your participation in this game in all of its incarnations. It has been a privilege.

This time next week, I will officially delete the game. Please grab whatever you need from the threads for posterity if need be. For those interested, my discord name is Guardsman#0332. Just let me know who you are so I can not delete your message  as spam.

It has been an absolute pleasure, all. The very best to you all in whatever paths life lays before your feet!

Thanks everyone.  I hope life treats you well o7

It's been lovely! I hope everyone has only wonderful things come their way!
