• Respawn isn't constantly on, it's usually shut off after fights. I'd like to believe that keeping respawn on for too long could either get expensive or damage it
• The mercs have ceasefire days (where they don't fight at all) every so often. I'm thinking once every two weeks. It's a day where they can just wind down and be people with each other
• Weekend fights don't last as long as weekdays. Maybe.. A few hours less?
• The mercs are allowed to go in and out of the base as they please when they aren't fighting, but it's still heavily restricted. They aren't allowed on the battlefield, and they cannot leave the town the base is near/in
• The mercs are like a tight knit family, though, let's be real, everyone probably universally agrees that this group of dumbasses is some dysfunctional, but tight knit family some way or another
• With that in mind, they all have equal amounts of chores to help around the base
• That doesn't stop them from using games/bribery to get out of doing them. Sometimes the "loser" of a game has to do the winner's chores that day. Bribery can come in many forms. Buying snacks, money, beer, etc in the form of bribery.
• I'd like to imagine that they take turns doing chores such as dishes, cleaning, laundry, and shopping. There's a chart for that sort of thing
• A few of them will allow the others to help them, whereas others prefer to do it alone. I can see heavy, sniper, engie, and spy wanting to do them alone to clear their heads/leave reality for a bit
• The mercs all take turns cooking dinner too.
• I'd like to imagine that during dinner, they can contribute what they want for the meal, so long as it'll get eaten. Candy doesn't count, much to pyro's dismay haha
• Like a family, they occasionally get into spats and arguments. Mostly, they're quickly resolved. There have been one or two very bad ones that needed Miss Pauling to intervene so nobody would die
• Speaking of Miss pauling, they have her over once a month. Sometimes it's for business, other times it's to allow her to unwind too. More often than not, it's just for dinner
• During holidays, such as Christmas, thanksgiving, etc, the fighting stops for an extended period of time. Maybe three weeks or so. The two teams are allowed to meet up and celebrate together, on the condition that it isn't in either of their bases. (Intel reasons, go figure)
• Their parents are also allowed to visit for the holidays.
• I'd also like to think that the mercs get delivered care packages from their families. Those contain clothes, and other things that they would find happiness in. Gotta love gifts from mama :)
• They're also allowed to contact their parents via phone year round. Sniper probably uses this privilege the most.

Rick May was a force of nature, a pain in the ass sometimes but never to the point where I would not use him again and again. We were working friends, colleagues and buddies. Hopefully there will be those who will speak of his years in the theater, as a teacher, a director and voice talent, of his one-man show as Teddy Roosevelt. I knew the man who asked me if I could get him a copy of an old Republic Studios serial cliffhanger “The Phantom Rider” if he got me an autograph from his friend Ty Hardin from the old “Bronco” TV series.

I knew the man who along with Frank Buxton and David Selvig stood and applauded my daughter Andee when I introduced her to the audience at the Kirkland Performance Center for what would be her first appearance as a professional actor. I knew the man who was always encouraging when I had my bout with cancer. I knew the man whose passing leaves a huge hole in my heart and I believe so many others. I wish you strength Diana. 

Rick I wish for you to know eternal peace. Goodbye buddy, I’m gonna miss the hell out of you.

Not problems like ‘What is beauty?’ because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.❞ [ɪɴsᴩ]
