I normally just delete messages like this but this one caught my eye as being so sweet, plus it is TRUE!

PLEASE DONT DELTE THIS MESAGE. YOU CAN HELP A DYEING LITTLE BOYS' LAST WISH COME TRUUE.

A little boy in Uelzen, Germany named Bruno "Wolfgang" Keniza is dyeing from a very rare disease, ONYCHOCRYPTOSIS. His dyeing wish is that he beat teh world's record for having the most distinct copies of the game Monopoly. So far he has 1,406 copies including the rare, "Monopoly: 1986 Women of Mud Wrestling Edition." But he neds your help to break the world record bruno is especially interested in getting "Monopoly: Other games that take frick'n forever edition" (featuring 7 Ages and Civilization)

Everyone of us must has at least one copy of Monopoly, come on you know you do. Why not donate it to a dyeing boy rather than suffer the humiliation of your gamer friends finding it in your closet.

30. Board Game: Snakes Alive! [Average Rating:5.17 Unranked]

This is a true story...

About a week or so ago, a family was playing Railroad Tycoon. One of the children played a city growth card, and reached into the bag to draw new cubes. The boy played for about 10 minutes when he started to whimper slightly.

The mother asks the boy what had happened and he mearly replied, "Hurt mommy." The mother assumed that the little boy had banged his elbow or something while playing.

They left to return home. A half and hour after they were home, the mother noticed some big red welts on the boys hand. Not being able to figure out what they were, the mother started to look at them closer. Could be red ant bites...she did not know.

An hour later, the little boy died. Come to find out, that there was a family of baby rattlesnakes living in the bag of cubes. She has since found out that this happens more frequently than not. The snakes will crawl into the bag because it is dark and warm in there. She knows for a fact that another death has occurred because of this while playing Ra. Please use caution when playing games that use a draw bag, this could happen anywhere. The next re-print of Ra will include a clear draw bag, so that players will be able to tell if there are snakes in the bag. This will also allow game club security to prevent players from smuggling in guns or knifes.

This sort of thing is much more common than you might think.

Simply carrying out a short (just 5 or 10 minutes) risk-assessment before each game we play, as a matter of course, would significantly reduce the likelihood of such things happening.

Three minutes with a baseball bat to the game is sufficient risk-abatement.

Note that the fake URL is a cross between one gold-seller site that spammed local chat and sent tells, and another that kept sending in-game mails.

Both of which drove me away from the game. Though I think Blizzard managed to get one of the operations shut down.

WotC Persecution Update: Friday 15 May, 1998

The persecution has been quite severe for the last week. It appears that
my enemies are reacting to the steady stream of faxes making their way
over the Atlantic to the fax machines of Wizards of the Coast and the
media. Here is whats happened in the last few days;

The week started off with an incident outside a gaming store at a local shopping
centre where I habitually play Magic: The Gathering. My enemies have
concentrated since winter 1995/96 on throwing a particularly horrible
sexual slander against me. They "put people up" to repeat this slander
against me, and this is what happened again here.

On Thursday morning (yesterday), instead of going to the usual gaming store I
went to a nearby bookshop for some expansion packs. The same horrible sexual
slander was shouted at me very loudly by a member of staff as I walked
into the store. This was the first time I had ever bought expansion packs
in that shop. The other staff obviously knew what was going on, one of
them said, "they took all my money".

The fax gateway I use to send these faxes to the UK has been working hard
these last few days to shut down my access by barring the accounts I use
to send these faxes.

I have received an anonymous threat from fax number 0171-6101-219 (the
machine gave its name as "MoX-RuBY") which said, "Stop sending to this fax
no 0171-219-6101 or else" (the consequences of continued transmission were
unspecified). I invited the sender to apologise for his threat, but
received no response.

This all adds up to quite a severe reaction to my faxes of the last few
weeks. I actually find this quite heartening since it shows that my faxes
are finding the mark and there may yet be a breakthrough in my efforts to
expose the Wizards of the Coast conpiracy of abuse against me which has now
been going on for eight years.

WotC Persecution: "Why would they be doing this to you, sir?"

This article will concentrate on the difficult question of "Why". The
question which forms the title of this piece was asked of me by the police
officer I spoke to in Easter 1995, when I went to make my complaint.

There are really two sides to this question. Firstly, why should WotC be
harassing anybody in this fashion? Secondly, if they choose to behave in
this way, why should they have selected me in particular, and not somebody
else? Alternatively, why did the persecution start, and why is it
continuing?

I do not have definite answers to either side of this question, since my
persecutors have usually kept themselves hidden and only acted through
other parties. To know "why", one would have to know who the persecutors
are, and something of their personalities, since their abuse is almost
certainly symptomatic of a personality disorder of the abusers. Certain
things however can be deduced about the abusers from the nature of their
behaviour, and I will talk about this later in the article.

Why did it start?

It is clear that the persecution must have been initiated by someone who
knew me personally, either at school, or at university, or socially, and
knew that I was borderline mentally ill, since this is what makes me a
target for the persecutors. Unfortunately, the originators have never been
identified, and there are several possible candidates. Neither has the
link from the originators of the persecution, to the persecutors
themselves, ever been made clear. So who are the originators?

High School Staff

The identity of the originators may lie in the timing of the
persecution. It started in June 1990, while I was ...

Dear Sirs % madam

My name is Ubongo Dt.Josepth Millarboi, and I was until resently the exchequer of State in the national republic of Namibia. I turn to you and your company in sop far that my country have been upturned due to a military coup.

I am for the Time being staying in exile in the State of Lesotho, and my capital assets have been frozen.

Now, the late honorouable Hamand John Peacetown, former President of Namibia managed to seclude a sum of $ 12,050,800.00 in preparation for the government in exile. These funds are stored in a bank account in the Ducth antilles, and only myself annd the late president had the account number and ID#. As the coupmakers of our country ave executed the president, it is my sole contrioll of the money in question.

I whiss to withdraw the suim and use it in the struggke to reinstate the democratically chosen government. In this I need your assistance, as my funds and accounts are being monityored. I will need to borrow your account number for a period of 2 - two - wweks and in return I will repay you with a sum equal to 15% of the grand total: $ 1,807,620.00

Now there will be some minor surcharges before the bank in the antilles can perform the transaction. namely a one time fee of $ 5,000.00
I will also need a signed statement and a copy of your identification, to be faxed to the bank manager, with my signature before withdrawal.

Please dear sir, help nthe people of namimbia!

Your truely.

I just hate spam too much to be able to laugh at any of this. For me it's like being a Holocaust survivor hearing a Nazi joke.


Yes, that was precisely the correct take on this article. Spam equates with genocide, death camps, gas chambers and crematoriums.

So, how many Boardgames can you fit in an ashtray?

Actually, you are quite wrong. The holocaust survivors told exactly that - Nazi jokes - according to Randolph Herzog's new book about humor in the Nazi times. Here's an example:
Quote:
“Two Jews are about to be shot. Suddenly the order comes to hang them instead. One says to the other “You see, they’re running out of bullets.”

Such jokes told by Jews were a form of mutual encouragement, an expression of the will to survive. “Even the blackest Jewish humor expresses a defiant will, as if the joke teller wanted to say: I’m laughing, so I’m still alive,” says Herzog.

Anyway, it's not really like there's spamocaust out there; we should nevertheless enjoy a bit of fun about the things that really cross us. And you must admit that most of it is quite ridiculous.



DISCLAIMER: Please note that I do NOT endorse or approve faschism or any other authoritarian form of society in any way. The example was just a reference from an article in German magazine Spiegel.
