LOl man it's been exactly a year since you died... I wonder when you'll come back.

happy birthday

I agree with -DeepImpact-. Come back soon and happy birthday!

Yo dude, it seems like you've disappeared... but Happy B'day anyways, bro.

Where are you?

Had to remove you from the RP. Sorry.

Hey dude, I wanted to let you know that you haven't posted in Odyssey for almost two weeks now, which is my usual limit before I kick somebody out of the RP. If you have some reason why you haven't been posting, or if you have been busy, you should let me know ahead of time. Otherwise, if you don't post in the next few days, I will have no choice but to kick you out.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too xD What's the point of worrying about death when you won't be worrying about anything afterwards? like, LITERALLY?

That's.. dark :D Well I think beyond death, there's only nothingness, just like before.

^ That expresses my doubts about god. I wouldn't say I'm an atheist - there HAS to be a start and an end to all of this.

to be honest, most of my mates aren't exactly christians either.. religion in my country is far worse than politics. I have no problems with expressing myself, although we shouldn't do it often. There's no point in trying to convince somebody about your beliefs.

I'm not exactly the most emotional person in the world, so that's not usually a problem. Anyway, I'm glad things are working out.

No, it's my job to try and keep things together xD I just want to avoid tension between players as much as possible ^.^' Thank you for bringing it up, though.

I'm extremely sorry about what happened in the RP. I didn't realize that he hadn't asked you for permission to do those things, and I shouldn't have assumed that he did. I'll try to be more careful with this sort of thing in the future.

I see.. so his death worked like a steroid to you, that's nice in some way xD

Also, have you seen that really wise image about the conversation between religion and science?
It goes:
Science: Hey.
Religion: Hey.
Science: Who turned down the lights?
Religion: We don't know. What we do know is that there is god right beside us in this very room.
Science: Seriously? Come on, that can't be right. I can prove it.
Religion: You can't prove that god doesn't exist.
Science: I've got a flashlight right here.
Religion: Do not turn it on. God will be mad.
Science: Really? Come on, I won't hurt anybody. *turns on flashlight, lighting up the empty room*
So where's god?
Religion: Invisible.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I've stopped believing religion years ago, but not due to my father's death. I just started to think it was stupid. However, we must recognize the fact that faith (despite it providing blind servants the "rulers" of a religion) keeps (or at least kept) a whole race united. Take the Byzantine Empire - they deflected (yes, deflected) more than 2 attacks directed at Constantinopole, the capital by merely having religion as its only weapon, and won many fights with it as well outside the empire.
My conclusion is that religion, although a bunch of lies, was created for the general good.
What if the universe didn't actually start from somewhere? There's gotta be an answer to that.

Yeah, it sounds like you're right.. but I think your situation was a bit worse, I'd gone mad thinking about that moment.. I'd spend a lifetime. But I guess not, since I got over the faint memory of my dad falling..
Yeah, I bet it feels good, I'm glad I made you feel that way, because I know and understand you need support. When he died, I thought I was the only one having such problems.. I wanted to feel special and be treated like it, I still do.

I'll confess, me, as a child, seemed more devastated than you now. I can't tell though 'cause I don't know you in-person and therefore can't determine how you really feel. What I'm trying to say is that, if I was your age when he died, I wouldn't have any courage to RP or even connect to the internet. I'd literally watch TV for hours, and still watch nothing - my eyes repeated the same motion of him falling, and the audience standing up, wondering what happened. I won't ever forget the look on his accomplice faces on stages, and I'll never forget the sound my mom made next to me when he fell. She told me she was suspecting my father had heart problems and told him to check, but the irony is that he didn't - he didn't even believe it (she told me later).
My aunt took me away from the theater (I didn't even know what was happening), and the next day my mom took me on a walk and told me the raw truth, that my father died before they even called the ambulance.
I cried so hard.. man, to be honest, I don't want to remember such times. But it's good once in a while. My father's death had been troubling me sometimes, it's good to let it out though. Speak freely to me.
