Apartment Fire Displaces Jara!

[dszabo]

Good afternoon everyone. I bring some pretty terrible news about Jara and his player Chris. He was involved in a pretty bad apartment fire early this morning. As a member of our community, known and loved by most, especially for his mouth-hugs, he is in dire need of support right now. He regrettably did not have renters insurance. The fire did start in the unit below his, so almost all of his worldly belongings are a loss. He is currently in the hospital with some pretty bad burns to his hands and his legs.

Now for the hard part. I have set up a GoFundme for him (obligatory link:https://www.gofundme.com/f/jara039s-apartment-fire?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1). But if there's any help or support any of you can give him that would be great! I am hoping to secure him some donations, maybe an old PC someone doesn't use any more (as he's supposed to be working remote for work right now too - not just GS) or anything else a freshly homeless, yet employed, person could use. He lives in Ohio, and we have no idea what his housing situation is going to be following his stay at the hospital, but as soon as he's put up somewhere I'm sure he would appreciate any and all help that can be given.

I am willing to accept any -in game- donations to sell for $$$ if some of you would like to go that route, or you can contact me through here, through discord at synthar#9778, or through e-mail at szabod013@gmail.com, and I will try to get messages to Chris/Jara. If you have him on discord, don't hesitate to reach out to him. Once I hear from him I'll make his discord public here too, if he doesn't think it will overwhelm him.

Thank you for reading!

That sucks. Gave a little. Hope that helps.

What do silvers go for these days? I've got a character I'll never play again that likely has some shit of value. At least a couple million silvers. IF it's worth the price of re-subbing I'll do it and you can strip him clean.

[dszabo]

Awesome!

Silvers are running about $5 per million right now - pretty strong all things considered.

[Tgo01]

Well this sucks. Jara is awesome.

I’ll chip in some silvers you can sell to help raise money.

[dszabo]

Awesome! I'll post all silver donations to his GoFundme with the donators name, to keep things transparent.

Just let me know who/where/when to meet for any in game donations please.

[TheRoseLady]

Where in Ohio?

[dszabo]

Kettering, Ohio.

I’d also like to add that I'd be looking for a donation/partial donation of an old (or new) PC (that's still functional). He works IT, and is scheduled to work remotely until the end of the first quarter next year. His current PC was....washed by the Fire Department. It's clean now, but also quite unfunctional. If anyone works in a school department somewhere, or an office that's replacing PCs, I'd happily cover the shipping for anything, or purchasing one at a discounted rate. Let me know!

As soon as he has a new address that is.

[Drendril]

My condolences on no renter's insurance. And Ohio, oof.

[dszabo]

Just a little note: We just had our first in game contribution to Jara! (also known as the creator of Huntpro). Thank you so much Arasleaf!

And thank you everyone else who is reaching out and showing their support. It means so much to Chris right now. Thank you, Thank you!

[bluecenterlight]

Hope and strength and prayers to you.

[Ardwen]

Currently on the road, will check what I have when I get home.

[TheRoseLady]

I have a brother who lives nearby him in Ohio (I live in Ohio as well). I'll start putting aside household items, blankets and such for him. What size clothing? You can send a private message for that if you'd like.

[dszabo]

So I just spoke with Chris briefly this morning, before the doctor came in for the checkup.

"Oh man I'm so blessed to receive an outpouring of support from the community. I can't say thank you enough. Also I'm on really good pain meds which is impacting my ability to form coherent speech." -Chris

The outpouring of support has been amazing! Thank you everyone!

He did also let me know he's in 2X shirts. Unsure of pants, but he's working remotely right? Sweatpants are the new Suit.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you EVERYONE!

PS: I still don't have a hospital address

Threw in a little bit.

Next apartment should have SK 602.

That's a fucking awesome idea. You can have Banty's account, dszabo. It's inactive but has a lot of shit on it that you could sell. How do I make that happen? Or he could just have the account to sell off himself?

If the account has been cancelled longer than 6 months, couldn't you just give the login info and they can reactivate with GSBACKAFTER6 (https://www.play.net/gs4/promo/reactivate/home.asp?offerCode=GSBACKAFTER6) promo code? That way it won't cost anything to access the gear.

I'll do whatever is easiest but I have quite a few canceled accounts so I'm not sure which ones have any stuff on them. And I don't remember account names so I think I'd need to reactivate myself?

So I used that promo code and reactivated Banty's account. Apparently, my password manager remembered the account name and pass so it was easy, lol.

Wait.. you have someone who manages your passwords?

I need that :(

It's Dashlane. I'd have to quit the internet if I didn't have it. I'd be locked out of everything.

Is she hot?

[Tisket]

Is she hot?

She is, although she is rather a nag about password strengths. Sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good.

What woman isn't a nag... AMIRITE!?!?

Just use the same password for everything, right? Right?

[Skeletor]

Wow, saw those pics, absolutely terrible. Glad he’s healthy.

Curious though, if you can ask him, while he was looking through all that wreckage did it ever pop in his head, “well, at least my GemStone character is safe?”

[Methais]

lmao

That's not a denial.

[Tisket]

It worked for me for years!

Until it didn't :(

[Tisket]

That's not a denial.

lol

Yes, I know, still not a denial.

Jeez, we let this poor dude's house fire and hospitalization morph into sexual innuendo. We are a sick bunch.

Welcome to the internet. Are you new here?

[Shaps]

Easy access to unlimited supplies of lubricant?

For real though - hope he is recovering and doing okay.
