Answer issues, and you have about a 10% chance of drawing a pack. Look for the cards icon under your Political Freedom score on your nation page.

There's a whole forum devoted to the game, right at the bottom of the Index page. Go read.

I'm curious to know how your Dad punished you for saying that to him

Talitha, my Dad didn’t punish me. Instead, he pranked me and my brothers immediately after I told him to die. He collapsed on the floor and proceeded to ‘die’ right in front of us. We grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him and yelled loudly in his ears, “Please get up Dad!”, but he was unresponsive to us. His breathing became funny and he turned pale. Just when we were getting scared cause we thought he’s really dying, he slowly opened his eyes, moaned like he was in a lot of pain and said, “Help! I have fallen and I cannot get up!” We helped our Dad to get up from the floor, he collapsed back onto the floor and we helped him up again. It was funny but unfair for him to prank us right after lecturing us to grow up, be more mature and stop pranking people.

why did you say he’s turned to the dark side?

My Mom always cosplays as a Sith Lady during our family’s Annual Family Gatherings and anytime she gets a chance to cosplay. Sith are dark side force users. My Dad prefers the Jedi and Jedi are light side force users. So since my Dad’s gonna agree with my Mom and stop arguing with her, that means he’s turned to the dark side.

There's a belt hanging on the wall next to our front door as a subtle reminder to my siblings and I to behave or else we'll be punished with it. We see it every day when we enter or exit our house. My siblings and I called it “THE BELT” and its used by both parents to punish us.

That’s brutal Dudette!

As a Baby Boomer, when it came to punishments, PaTex used the belt (the thin one was worse than the wider one) and when it came to MaTex, it was a switch from "The Switch Tree". As we got older, she made us pick our own switch, and woe be unto us if it was too small, for she would pick a replacement switch that was much worse than we would have selected if we had thought it out. Oh yeah, the backs of the legs were worse than the butt. And, for you anti-spanker wankers, we turned out just fine and rarely, if ever, repeated the undesirable action.

B’s: 5 strokes of the Rattan cane

My mother caned me first, then my father caned me. Getting caned with the Rattan cane turned me into a Straight A student.

Vincent! Sometimes I'm sorry I'm your Mom and those times I'd really like to disown you. :(

Your Dad’s heart received 2 defibrillation shocks from his Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator on Christmas Day. I asked him what happened and he refused to tell me. He said he’ll take the secret to his grave. And here I find out what happened from you like this and you thought he pranked you? I’m really sorry I was too busy cooking in the kitchen and didn’t know what was happening. You should’ve gone to the kitchen and informed me right away. He’d have died if he hadn’t agreed to have the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator implanted in his chest in November as an early Christmas present to me. Next time anything happened to your Dad, I better not find out this way again!

Your Dad’s heart and soul are too pure for him to turn to the dark side. He can’t be my Sith Apprentice anyways. Sith have the Rule of Two and your youngest brother is already my Sith Apprentice. :)

My lord, you’re now the Sith Empress’ Hand. I’m that Sith Empress and you’re to me what Mara Jade was to Emperor Palpatine. You need not be light or dark, you only need to be force sensitive. So our son is wrong; You didn’t turn to the dark side :)
