who's playing this game?

Yes, but people who are suicidal apparently want to be comforted, told it's not so bad, etc., etc.. I don't do that shit. You wanna commit suicide, I'm gonna be there egging you on, holding a betting pool on your splatter radius when you hit the ground.
Marvin Kosh:
Contemplating suicide is not the same as actually going through with it. Whole different ball park.
Sometimes life will really wear you down and you'll think to yourself, 'I give up.' It's not a bad thing to admit failure, because you can start to figure out where to go from there, to find coping strategies and make life liveable. And The Sims 2 can be used as a tool to realise that it isn't all hopeless, that you can make a difference to those around you. And since a Sim life is much shorter than ours, you can try lots of different things.

I hear an overdose of antidepresssants is the way to go these days. Call it an ironic last stab at those who prescribed them in the first place. Atually, someone I knew took this way out, after fighting depression for most of her life. It's tragic to clock out at just twenty-eight, but hey, that's life.
Life stinks, I might add :P

There ain't no other options! Life is life, death is death, pretty binary really. The deciding factor, of course, is you can't play the sims when you're dead. ;)

Oh, now that's just boring. I liked it back when jumping was the preferred method of suicide. I actually encountered a jumper once. There were 3 people not entirely successfully trying to talk her out of it. Naturally, I did the natural thing: I pulled out a bullhorn and proceeded to drown out the others by taunting and heckling her. Sadly, this didn't produce the desired effect, and she chickened out. Somehow, I managed to end up being credited with talking her out of it. How annoying.

Actually, it's not even very binary. Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate. No matter what you do, you're going to die anyway. It's more like base-1: There's only one digit, 0.
