I’m not sure I understand what this person is even trying to accomplish, and I’m also not sure where or how the person jumped off the deep end to start threatening someone who’s caught in the middle. if I was contacted unbidden by a private company contracted by the state to seize some part of my property, I’d probably start off similarly. I’d say to them that I understand they have their contract, and please send me a copy of the executed agreement, since I’m a party to said agreement. Then, since they’re a private entity contracted by the government, until my lawyer advises otherwise, I’d make it clear that I would prefer not to deal directly with them on the matter, and instead work directly with the police and the court. Then basically thank them for their time and say that I hope we can speak again under happier circumstances.

I wouldn’t threaten them, or involve them directly in the situation. I want the tow truck guys and the yard guys to just stay out of it while I deal with the cops. Personally, I think that’s a fair request - limit the number of parties involved. Because if I deal with the towing / storage company, and they release the vehicle to me without confirming with the court and the cops that they’re legally allowed to do so, we’re both in hot water. If I deal with the cops and they tell the yard to release it, either they’ll comply or they’ll have problems that don’t start with me.

Am I being unreasonable?

@contrefeu@akko.contref.eu Sorry, I don’t speak French, but I’m from New Jersey. I know the history of the Landlord’s Game. I assure you that Atlantic City is just as dystopian as it seems in the game. It’s a theme-park version of a city, and there’s a major attempt to hide all the problems that exist here in New Jersey. The game was never meant to be fun, and I think the house rules which make it less cut-throat and put money back into the hands of players ruin the spirit of the game.

I’m literally dead in about a week. All of my heating, cooking, and refrigeration are electric, and I have no backup supply or the means to safely add a backup. So I’d have no food, very little water, and I’d freeze to death.

Meetup has helped - especially around RPGs and board games. Having a weekly group of friends meeting up with a shared topic helps.

This is the revenge they deserve for Citra & Yuzu.

I’d never thought of using Waterfox. Instead, most of my browsing is Pale Moon & SeaMonkey. Are there any good guides to making Waterfox look like a serious browser?

I miss 3.5, and I hate the current Chrome-lite design. I want tabs underneath my address bar.
