He now lives with friends and family who helped him after finding out he was living in the streets. He was just ashamed to ask them for help. I have a big deal of respect for this man. He is fighting to get his life in order. And he is winning this battle.
Now...the following case is very different...
WARNING: Please grab a kleenex, cuz the next part you will read is very.... snifffff.....
This begging letter was send in some groups in SL and also to individuals:
**Fundraising call for Real Life Crisis**
This is a real life plea for help to all Members of both the Medieval Midnight Mania and the Gorean Midnight Mania to please if you can donate any spare Lindens you may have. Pierce Ackmann is about to be made homeless in REAL LIFE, he has 2 days to find money for rent otherwise he has nowhere to live and will be on the streets, he has a son of 6 who he is desperately trying to stay near as his ex wife is being treated for Breast Cancer and and he needs to have somewhere that he can take him too, as with all of us sometimes things have not gone well in this economy and he now faces eviction in 48 hours. This is a honest request, any money donated will go directly to him for his situation. We ask only that you give something if you can and that people leave all SL drama out of this. It is happening in his real life not in here.
We will be erecting a place to donate in Gaia Market but until then please donate should you wish to do so directly to Pierce AV.
If you wish to donate anonymously please do so by passing on to Zun Sahara she will pass on anything received by her directly to Pierce.
If you wish to show support but have no spare Lindens then just by joining the support group in Siren Lexenstar or Zun Sahara's profiles will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks for reading
**The people of Gaia**
Now… what would YOU do if you get a letter from your landlord that you will be kicked out if you don’t pay your rent?
Hmmm good question... I would freak… BUT what made it come that far to get kicked out? I mean… you know months in advance that you need to pay rent. And I would do anything to get that cash to pay my rent. I would go to friends and family to ask them if they can help me. I would ALSO get a job! Yes… a job is a good way of getting money. Or a bank robbery but I wouldn’t recommend that.
Now… what IF you had a kid… and knew that payment was due any minute cuz you had many letters about it… would you still be playing SL? Would you still grief ppl in a GAME instead of doing what SHOULD BE done?
I think somebody here needs a reality check. THIS is a REAL WORLD where you need to pay for REAL or you will be in big troubles FOR REAL.
Some reactions that reached me:
“if the man would turn off the computer and god damn work like he is supposed to, this would not happen”
“it is sad when we both attempted to help him long ago his addiction on here is out of control maybe a walk in reality will do him good”
“xxx strongly suggest Pierce to check into Hospice places and his local shelter and churches as they can help IMMEDIATELY to find him a place”
"Again he plays a victim. This is a bad way of winning sympathy. And his RL shit should be kept out of SL"
"sickening note eh? almost poetic justice for him. he is pathetic. I have told people that from the beginning."
"Cheers to the King without a castle"
OK. So IF it was true…
Then I am really sorry for the kid to have Pierce as his dad…
Knowing he wasn’t there for the kid, as in working to give him his needs, but only for his SL addiction. I will leave the 'sick Ex-wife'out of the picture... IF it was true...
Am I a bad person that I write all this?
Am I a bad person to question the mans motives?
Am I a bad person to warn ppl about him?
Am I a bad person when I make him cry after he reads this?
I don’t think so.
I think this can also be seen as a warning to all ppl that do NOT WANT TO WORK cuz of their SL addiction.
And of course... the almost homeless 'King of Fools' is online in Sl... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!
Shouldn't he be packing???
I think somebody needs a reality check. AND A GOOD ONE.
REAL LIFE isn’t a game. We can NOT teleport away from our REAL LIFE problems
