Oh, right, rolling high is good! Another 8! Well done, Starbuck.
All right, time to jump soon.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have orders from Baltar:
Move to Main Batteries, discard Consolidate Power 2.
Here he encounters Kendra Shaw, who will cut him, yo. Because she's a Razor. Strangely, this is the Benevolent outcome. Baltar has given orders to lose 1 Morale to gain 1 Food.
Baltar just left the President's Office, so why not see if we can leave a surprise for him. the new NPC is Priestess Elosha, who has nothing better to do than bother the President (or, in his absence, she'll hang with Billy). President Baltar, when you're ready, please let me know which token to place on her.
Continuing with the orders:
Action: play Launch Scout 1 on the crisis deck. The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for Calcs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ignore this. Clearly confused again. Sorry. My advisors were opening their... folders... yes, folders. And blood flow was not in thinking mode.

Erase that, Mr President. You let me know which token you're playing - no one else is allowed to know.

Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 6. Pass! The top crisis card is being sent to Baltar. When you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey um, help? This was posted on our DDO guild website from the account of a girl I thought I knew but now that I think about it, all I know about her is that she's 19, lives in the south, and her mother sometimes punishes her for misbehaving or doing poorly in school by taking the game away. She's never shared any suicidal thoughts with me but I know she is closer to our guild leader so maybe she has with him (he hasn't been in game for 18 hours).
ello weird gamers, this is [redacted]'s sister, mom told me to let ur leader or whatevr know {redacted] attempted suicide tonight. were in icu now im on her phone.
This is the corner of the website that's kind of like twitter. Usually we post things like 'game won't load' or 'check out x website'
Any ideas how I should respond to this? I feel it demands a response but I am just lost here.

Laga, yikes!
Is there anyway to reply to that message using the website, or does it just receive posts and display them? Or, do any of the other guild members know her IRL?
My uninformed opinion is that you should take it seriously, but not take it as truth until there's independent confirmation. You probably can't do anything at this stage besides keep your head and try to keep the other guildies from losing theirs.
ETA: and try to get in touch with the guild leader. If they're closer to her they might have more information.

I don't have any irl info for any of these guys. There is in-game mail and email on the guild site which is kind of wonky and I'm not sure the sister could see she had received mail or open it on her phone.

Well, if the sister sent a message from the phone she must have some kind of access, I guess? You could send a game mail to the player's account, and an email to the phone, asking for confirmation.
I get how it feels like you should be doing something right now, but you're not really in a position to do anything besides try to get confirmation and keep the rest of the guild from panicking.

I sent a site mail to her account telling her we care and to please let us know how she is, and I'm parked in the game watching as people log in so I'll see her if she does.
a year ago they made me 'morale officer' and jokingly refer to me as the 'cruise director' but I never thought I'd have to deal with something like this.
