| Description | This will probably be my last submitted map, I might make a few more here and then, but this will be the last for a while. I will still be playing other people's maps and checking the forums etc... But my mapping career is over.
Last night a close friend of a close friend killed herself. For the last month she had been making everyone around her hate her; she thought it would be the only way to make things hurt less. Her boyfriend left her when she told him, a coward, who only thought more of himself than his girlfriend. It made me realise that I shouldn't be doing this. I should be living life to the fullest I can, not be sat here day in day out making maps for a game that people enjoy playing. It is amazing how someone you never met, never talked to, never planned on knowing can have such an effect on you. I wish I could've done something to stop her, but afterall, who was I to enter her life? This map is dedicated to her. Toni was 19 and pregnant. RIP. |

Lo savio mio inver' lui grido: "Forse
tu credi che qui sia 'l duca d'Atene,
che sú nel mondo la morte ti porse?
Pártiti, bestia, ché questi non vene
ammaestrato da la tua sorella,
ma vassi per veder la vostre pene."
Inferno, Canto XII, lines 16 -20 - Dante Alighieri

this comments section
reminds me of youtube
also, i feel like this excerpt from the divine comedy isn't super appropriate. inferno canto XIII is more suiting imo, and i'd be interested to hear your reasoning for picking this one, because honestly features that are quotes really boil my blood because it's like the reviewer didnt even try
no haterino to map and sudoku 5/5

to be fair
he has delisted hundreds of maps now. he could just delist all of them and it'll appear as if this is his last map

Of course, this is not a waste of time.
With these maps, and map descriptions, you (we) can impact people just as hard. Don't underestimate NUMA =D

shit happens. doesnt it suck?
i had a close friend of a close friend die too recently. he was hit by a car on the way home from the library. the kid was a great hockey player, had many friends, and just like that, gone. he was 17. never saw him or met him, but i still felt like shit. he seemed like such a great kid.
2006-03-28
THATS why this map is so low
finally figured that out...
2006-03-12
Whoops!
I accidently voted 0/5. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to.

Dante_Rein, you are... whoops, name typo, sorry. Let me begin again:
Dante_Rien, you aare very correct. I, however, would take what you said one step further and say that getting depressed because your friend's friend commited suicide and got your friend depressed is a very selfish thing to do.

Holy ****
Man! now you've got me really depressed. depressed that your goin and depressed for what happened. You'll both me missed. cyaz.
2006-03-11
Aye, a pity
Jmd, your maps are great.
I'd like to post my veiws, agree, disagree, I don't care. I honestly lament a loss of your friend, but, in the long term it won't matter. You'll make friends, lose friends, but you'll move on. As for Toni, human beings are very fragile creatures, both physically and mentally, many of us can cope with most things life sets at us, but some... some just can't take it, the strain of everything just sends them over the edge. All I can advise is to move on with life....

What you said is quite true Dante, but you have to think that all people are different. I for one am quite emotional, and yes I do sometimes get depressed and whatnot.. A person like Toni is the same, but caught up in a downward spiral with seemingly no way out. Not saying that if I was caught in such spiral I would let it get to me as much as I had to kill myself, but I'm sure you know what I mean...
2006-03-09
Hey , Uhm
Dante_Rien Lighten up man someone is dead and i do agree with most of what you said (really all of it) but that still does not mean that some one isn't dead, RIP Toni, Great Map man 5555555555555555555555555555\5

I'm dedicating this comment to those who are not afraid to take control of their own lives.
I do not mean to insult the dead. What I am saying here is all truth. Those who cannot see my logic, well, I pity you.
First of all, I think it is idiotic to even HAVE a boyfriend before age 16. Most children younger than that are not quite mentally or emotionally ready for that kind of relationship.
Secondly, this girl had no self-respect. What kind of person would let others walk all over them in the way you described?
Her father left and her mother wanted nothing to do with her. My father left, my mother can be quite abusive at times. Have I slashed my wrists? People need to learn to accept that there are going to people you meet that do not like you. Don't let it get under your skin, and you'll be fine. No matter who it is that dislikes you, it honestly only affects you as much as you let it.
Now, her more recent mistakes..
Before you have sex with someone, you should know how they would feel about having a child. Obviously, her boyfriend did not want to be a father. So...
Why didn't Toni use a contraceptive? Condoms? The pill? The Morning-After Pill?
She didn't discuss this enough with her mate, and was not responsible enough to be having sex in the first place.
She had no money.
Even more reason to avoid getting pregnant. How would she support the child?
And, even if she never did get pregnant, she could have easily found ways to make more money. Find a roommate, a smaller apartment, get a better job.
The amount of money you have is affected by the amount of effort you put into your work and how thrifty you are.
I hope to God that she had worse problems than that.
"My mother does not love me." Suck it up.
"I'm pregnant." Get an abortion and do not have sex until you learn to be responsible.
"I'm poor." Why don't you stop whining and get a job?
In my opinion, people that commit suicide are scum. They place unneeded stress on the people they claim to love, just so they can dodge out of a little hard work.
If Toni really is resting in peace, then there is no justice in this world.

living life to the fullest
means enjoying every moment. if you enjoy making maps, then do it. just because its inside and not immediately social doesn't diminish it in anyway. that said, its far more important to do what you want to than what i think you should do. I am, after all, some random.
Although, i think i know what youre going through. I've been through it, in a way. A guy i knew - almost a friend of a friend - killed himself. He was overweight, had been for most of his life, and everyone bullied him about it. I felt real bad because i had joined in too, on some occasions. They found a note, it said that doctors had told him he had breast cancer. So many people started insulting him after that, saying he killed himself for attention - as if a guy could get breast cancer. my friend asked his mom, and its was true - apparently something medical caused his overweightness and growth of the breasts, which lead to cancer. So, i felt like shit for about three weeks. Someone who bullied him a lot more than i did cut his wrists over the incident, but he didn't die.
That was two and a half years ago, so i've gotten over it. But, MasterJmd, just know it'll be tough for a while.
On the plus side, i love your map. If you ever get sad, post another map, and we'll do our best to cheer you up.

I cant tell if ur saying the truth or if ur just saying stuff... if ur not, sorry

Hmm.....
I'm not much of a critic.The map was great but your reason is foolish.Dedicating a game to a friend's friend?Oh well it was nice of you and all but you sohuld have dedicated something more impressive.I know about sorrow.My older brother's wife left him after they had a baby.He was so proud of the kid,now he's lost his own son.
My friend's friend comitted suicide and my friend was so sad.
You know what i dedicated to them? NOTHING,It was their problem I helped my brother because he was just that-my brother.If they comitted suicide that's their problem.That's my outlook on life,I think suicide is stupid,but I don't persinally care if my grandma did it.I'd be sad but not feel sorry or do anything about it.Did you even go to the funeral or to the cemetary?You should and get some roses and wrap a print out of this map to the roses and put it on the grave.Anyway,I'm a jerk...sorry if my outlook on the subject is odd.
RIP.

Wow.
I recently had an experience of something like that.
Me and my family visited the province to meet some of my mother's friends. I met this teenager who could play the piano very well. I asked if I could play for awhile. He stayed for half a minute and said I was really good, then he left. Half a month later, he was shot in a grocery store by some asshole who wanted his celphone. I can't believe a person would take another person's life just for something as small as a celphone. I met him late December, and he died early January. His name was Zack.
Now about your map...
That was very nice of you, making a map for her. 5, for the map, and for the reason.

Sorry
I'm sorry for what happened. It is a great thing you dedicated such an important thing to you to her. You should decide if you want to stop making maps. By the way, the map is great and I give it a five.
Sorry again.
Sorry again.
2006-02-02
i am so sorry
JMD i am sorry to here such thing. i probably know whats she was thinking. sometimes i think of killing myself. i don't know why but i sometimes think about it. i know it might be hard to forget but you must try to forget this ever happened. If you are thinking of kill yourself don't because it wasn't your fault. You prbably whish you could have stop it. i am no profesnal on this but just try to forget it and live your life. and again i am sorry about what happened.
sincerly,

alright
that sounds like the right thing to do...i was just curious, i realize its really none of my business...
personally im not sure if letting people know her story is disrespectful, maybe it could be in a way, but if thats how you feel about it, nobody will stop you, definately not me... and i repeat, i realize its none of our business...

In regards to nemetacyst's question of "did she give a reason?"
My friend recived a letter from her, along with some of Toni's other close friends, but for reasons which I'm sure you can understand I don't want to know the contents of the letter as it is personal to my friend.
And plus, for the same reasons, even if I did know what the reasons were I wouldn't post them here; to be respectful to Toni, not to be disrespectful to you lot or anything.

It is good to have an end to journey to, but it is the journey that matters in the end. Your journey has been along a broken path, but that just makes the end so much better. I wish you good luck as you begin a new journey to something more, and I think I speak for everyone when I say, " We will miss you."

please don't stop making maps
R.I.P.
We should lighten up...
I beat the level without much gold.
I will give you a 5/5 on this map if you don't stop making maps...
But if you do stop making maps... then I will still have to give this map a 5/5

dang...
thats sad...im sry for you...do you know if she actually gave a reason??
guiseppi has a point...maybe said a bit harsh...but still a point...there is really no reason to ever kill yourself..or take a life with you...can anything really be bad enough for a person to not see that what goes around comes around, or in this case, what comes around goes around...nothing lasts forever...there is always a better way out...whether it be waiting it out or actively persuing a better situation...
dont think i dont feel bad when this kind of thing happens...it makes me wonder if somewhere, sometime i could have made a difference...it seems stupid...but who knows?
i can relate to terrible situations, i think we all can, at least to an extent...
i shall say no more, i think i said what i wanted to, or at least most of it...plz dont think im arguing with anybody...as turtle said, this really isnt a place to be arguing...its just my opinion...
i will miss your maps, your an excellent mapper, but i hope you find whatever it is your looking for in life

I feel bad for Toni's friend
My opinions:
As from Vignettes from the Life of Abdul-Baha.
"No one should injure him(her)self on purpose or take his(her) life. God (if you beleive in God) never places a burden on us greater than we can carry. Each burden is for our own good and our developement."
If something SEEMS too hard, just think that it will pass. What happens when you die? If you believe in heaven, you will see your loved ones. If you don't why does it matter? You will forget soon enough. We could bring up plenty of controversial issues from here, but please, don't argue. I'm not taking a side, just stating an opinion. Whether you want to learn more about the book and/or the person and/or the topic, the choice is yours.

to start off...
Sad very sad but this is Jmd's last map so guys lets give'm some comments.
Great map. Great style, layout and play. Interesting tyle set, love it. A lot of gold, very tricky and well thought out. 5/5
But Guiseppi, don't be ridiculous this is a map for a friend . A murderer, or selfish, whatever you want to call her. She was metally ill, no ones direct fault. Should we go and burn all her photographs so no one remembers her. Write it down on paper,you are 100% correct,she is a murderer, but look at her life as a whole. Maybe not pleasant all the time but still a friend.
