    550 replies, posted
Apparently the Rebels in Aden are so Desperate to escape to Sann'a That they are using Woman clothing to get past Security. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
So basically I heard that the Rebels are so Desperate that they recruiting and even kidnapping teenagers to fight for them in Sann'a. Aside from that It seems UAE is going to reopen the Airport in Aden pretty soon, that's good news but honestly if I was outside of here I would still wait until the whole war is over. And I got 20 Pieces of Galaxy Minis Smooth Milk Edition, none will be given mercy.

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;48274335]When the airport opens are you gonna think about leaving, or are you gonna stay until things quiet down?[/QUOTE] the airport is in Aden and am in Sann'a, so I have no idea if the Rebels even let citizens outside of Sann'a at the moment.
I just realised I reached a point in my life when experiencing explosives coming closer to my street with gun fire everywhere for months, and Am just wondering if I should eat Choco Cookies or Butter Cookies for dessert.

Then again I'm just a chocolate lover. Also, heard the Saudis decided to start bombing during a march or something.

Haven't been a post in a while, everything ok?
[QUOTE=AGS;48353793]Haven't been a post in a while, everything ok?[/QUOTE] just waiting and drawing. nothing really new, explosives are now like bird sounds and somehow I can draw an Aron but apparently Mudkips needs biological engineering to understand the anatomy. either way nothing new, other than the fact Aden won, but that was long time ago. But apparently Aden found 2 snipers that killed a dramatical amount of citizens in Aden Wife,children and men, basically 2 Rebels Snipers, there's even a video, I watched it. They put over 100 bullets on them, so much that one of their heads even decided to take a hat off. Although I did attempt online gaming on steam. mostly No More Room In Hell, somehow I had 500 pings but scored top on the board using only a Wrench while somehow 2 polks couldn't for the sake of humanity shoot correctly, now I remember why I refuse to play coop without friends. apparently also a family member died, which I never even met because of how big the Family Tree, dear god I don't even remember half of them. What else, I seem to be a bit blur in memory. Oh Yes also my Father's Car didn't have license plate which I remember I mentioned before, since the plate was from Saudi Arabia and basically rebels hate them so we removed it, apparently when my cousin went to fill it up, they noticed the plate was off, and all the sudden they thought he was a Saudi Arabian citizen (Note my cousin is from Aden) so they basically forced him to leave and never come back, could have gone the other way but now we can't use the car since now everyone knows how it looks like. also I found education books, Toefel books, nice way to read and realise that all your English Attempts is pathetic so you feel like a 8 year old again. Sorry I didn't post, there's nothing really new at all, you lads going to have to wait for the Sequel to come out.
Have you tried learning a language while you wait? Seeing as Maestro is a Spaniard (if flagdog is to be believed - and it's not really, I'm Northern Irish, not American), perhaps you could try to learn his native language. Or you could try improving your English skills.

Looks like the UAE has decided to intervene on the ground. The war may be coming back to Sanaa before long. Tons of pics [URL="https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke"]here[/URL]. Also, if you're willing to use one of your 8 free articles/month, [URL="http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/08/04/video-shows-the-beginning-of-saudi-led-coalitions-ground-war-in-yemen/"]Foreign Policy[/URL] has an article up already.
Saudi arabia just sent in ground brigades.

Hopefully not having an ending of tears for you.
Any updates?
This is why war is a bad thing. Stay safe, mate. Greetings from an Irishman. Also, disease symptoms 101: If you have yellow fever, you will puke black vomit, if you have the plague you will cough up blood, get huge purple boils and smell like shit. Stay the heck away from mosquitoes, and generally ration things that you think need to be conserved. Be careful with water, try to drink water you know is clean and not dirty, as you might get cholera, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis E or typhoid fever if you drink dirty water. I'm sure you will be fine, and you will most likely not get any of these infectious diseases, but just in case.
[QUOTE=spoder55;48415560]This is why war is a bad thing. Stay safe, mate. but first let me tell you about horrific Disease Symptoms just in case.[/QUOTE] Now am totally probably not going to have Anxiety sleeping at night. [QUOTE=Enola;48415536]Any updates?[/QUOTE] I heard gun shots and explosives from distance from time to time but not too dramatic or often Am self studying from IELTS Books whenever I get motivated or have time but the activity is weird, recently finished reading about Killer Robots and Why being Old sucks in it. I bought a Dell Mouse, I achieved a new level Disappointment. I took a Shower using a Bucket. I finished drawing a Mudkip and celebrated with all the hardwork by shoveling a 10 pack of Snickers into my face. There's a Dozan amount of Car Lines at each Gas Station, I even saw one that goes through 3 streets whole. Solar Panels makes everyone happy and Sane. All Schools might start next Month at September. I was Requested to draw a FNAF character in my style so am going on a monstrous quest to make it look adorable to force my friend to stop being scared of Animatronics. I miss my Telly on my Room, sacrificed to save power for the Batteries. I was able to finally able to finish downloading Deus Ex: Punching Revolution and so far I was able to punch 32 Citizens for their lack of Fashion. I accidentally bought a plug and play charger for my xbox 360 controller thinking it was a wired USB, I should never handle Money. Friends miss me and I miss them so we indirectly decided to not talk for hours. My Big Sister got mad for going outside for Lunch while there is war. I did a Mother/Son Bonding so we played Kirby return to dreamland and we called everyone arse and bitches in Arabic for several hours. I found out several popular shops or shops I used to know had ran away. To put this in conclusion I decided to describe my Usual mornings in a sweet little Song. Twinkle, twinkle, little explosions How I wonder when you fucking stop Up above my fucking sleep Like a headache from a boulder Twinkle, twinkle little Napalm How the fuck do I Bloody [I][B]draw this[/B][/I]. When I read my IELTS is weird When I try to get motivated is hard Then fucking Michael Bay shows up at my Window. Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little Rebel Piss Pots. . How I fucking Hate drawing human anatomy.
This thread is a much needed reality check stay safe
Apparently since Aden won and kick off the Rebels they were able to figure out where they were hiding. Their were little obscure areas, very well hidden. basically they hide in there and shoot anyone who pass by them, including Citizens. They even found a worth of month supplies of food, worst of all they found a Skeleton that is 2 months old, no one knows why other than the theory that one of the Rebels died and they had to live with it since they couldn't bury it. Aside from that I played more Kirby Return to Dreamland with my Mother, she chose King Dedede and Murdered everyone, to conclusion We had Fun.
Today I woke up, In Pain. it turns out I have developed a fever which dramatically makes me feel like a dead person who just had a run away with Cumberbatch Benedict for solving too much crimes using cigarettes smokes. aside from that I realise even though my ears were clogged that there was more Gun fire than air strikes, it makes it seem like some War is actually happening on ground at the background. afterwards I somehow had the power to play Deus Ex: Punching Revolution after the intense Stealth using an overpowered Armour piercing Pistol which somehow you can fully upgrade in the start of the game, I decided to continue working on my Project, somehow I actually got more progress than me being Sober yesterday. of course it all went well until all the sudden my body decides to become emotional unstable as if it just Watched the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion for first time and decided the best thing should happen is for me to get knocked out. All the sudden I woke up, What seemed to be an early morning turned into a Late night in a matter of seconds, turns out I had 2 miss calls in every phone in the house, after I got a message it turns out my Mother found a Homeless lonely black Kitty at our garden, so she gave it to my our cat Fluffy who is still taking care of her own children. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/LOAyf08.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/LJdsmzF.jpg[/thumb] The New kitty is the one on the middle, easy to recognise by all it's black fur. When we found our new Companion I decided I need some medicine before I hit the brick wall again. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/C4mvmYs.gif[/IMG] If you expected the place to look destroyed or empty, sorry to disappoint (Sorry about the Gif angle) [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/wI4lXpZ.jpg[/thumb] All you need is a Backup when Doctors are at home, mostly because I don't trust Doctors in here. Not Surprisingly enough it's kinda hard to walk when your head feels like a boulder. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LE1dLy3.gif[/IMG] Am going to need something Stronger. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/75CrjrA.gif[/IMG] That will work. Of course by The laws of Physics somehow, just somehow I literally forgot where the pills were in 10 seconds, so I had to go into a Drunk Adventure to figure out where it is, for half an hour. at the moment now am typing this while waiting for the Drugs to kick in, also there is increase firing sounds and people yelling, that is literally not the best time for people to be raiding right now.
acetaminophen!? haha you're in the middle east, go raid some poppy fields and get some opium :v: for some proper morphine and codeine!
[QUOTE=zach1193;48447219]acetaminophen!? haha you're in the middle east, go raid some poppy fields and get some opium :v: for some proper morphine and codeine![/QUOTE] First of all, Yemen is mostly desert, and is not an opium producer. Second of all, he is having a fever. That acetaminophen is literally the best option he has in a war zone (Aside from the healing hands of Allah himself. But Allah is currently with those who wrap det-cords around their tummies and slam head-first into Hummvies now, so that's no use.). Get your fact straight willya? Back to serious topic. Since you are having fever, try hoarding some juicy, vitamin-c fruit like oranges or mangoes as much as possible (I hope you have a fridge ready). Rebuild your immune system with those fruit. Also, some tea might help. But DON'T try coffee, especially when your head is splitting in pain. Tea will help easing the pain while coffee will make you more awake and aware of the pain.

Hey am not dead, for some reason. Fever is gone and I can smell again. aside from that September 5 is when the School suppose to start in here which is basically just planning since we not even sure if anything will open. Also apparently our lovely citizens were able to Raid the Ex President home, they literally stole his high class chair and gave it to a poor child, it's a bit of a waste on his side that castle is such luxury. I should get a Puppy.

[QUOTE=.Greninja;48479797] I should get a Puppy.[/QUOTE] Puppies are awesome! Least you have kittens. Kittens can be super playful, and honestly, anything to take your mind off what's going on is good. Glad you're feeling better as well.
[URL]http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/08/yemeni-hospitals-verge-shut-150831110232260.html[/URL] Although it was been some weeks of "rest" thanks to the solar panels, the fights goes on, and the supplies are running short. It doesn't get better since it has been confirmed that the rebels are taking by the force kids to make them soldiers, or what is making scare the people: apparently there's a rumour about the rebels tracking down every phone call that goes to the outside. We really doubt that they have knowledge of the existence of Facepunch and Steam, but just in case, I will try to minimize all the risks he can take. *self reminder: update the main post*
Is it possible we can send anything? I'd be willing to post you some basic meds and such when I have the money next, but I figure the war sort of makes that either rather difficult or impossible at this point. If there's anything we can do, I think I speak on behalf of most of us when I say we'd love to do all we can within reason.
