I have to question how an adult person in the US hadn't heard the story or at least the general headline? Seemed like it was in every feed and on every news program I saw. I don't watch the news. Then didn't matter if the OP didn't share more information? Folks who pay attention probably understood...

It should also be clarified that not everyone here is valued the same.

True statement. Though, we do take our time in the appraisal and allow for the asset to mature.

Putin in Russia is holding on to power through asserting Russian identity and Russian-Orthodoxy are the last strongholds of righteousness against a corruption being spread by the West. His allies here at home only differ with this claim in that they see the ...

That's an interesting point, except for me it's dauntingly large. The relationship between religion and politics must be too big a topic even for a fat book, let alone a thread.

Thought I'd post my preparation notes and see what input anyone has if any, knowing it is not easy to follow withou...

An example of something we discussed before regarding effort and information that players may never even get near let alone use is the scrap below. To find it, the players have to decide to open a standalone 5'x5' shrine building on the ground level of the cemetery/ necropolis which releases the zo...

In India. Just in case that part of the "study" is missed. You know, where public gang rapes are reported with alarming frequency. I really do not know why folks engage DT as if his cited references were more than tenuously connected to his posts. You don't know what you are talking about, but it's...
