Crisis in Ukraine

•There’s always awful stuff going on in the world.
•There’s always something someone is struggling with that is unspoken, and this game is definitely a coping mechanism. However, if you have “pit in your stomach” anxiety logging into PIMD, yet you enjoy hunts and upgrading because that’s your coping mechanism- should you keep playing? I don’t think so. I dunno.
•Don’t be a bully, period- this is a game, an escape from reality for people all over the globe. Show love, be kind, even if it is a single random act of kindness- you might never know about it, but that small gesture could have touched someone’s life.
•No one is forgotten.
 
Thank you, ATA. Came back to the game since 3 years to actually be a little less stressed and glad I did it.

Confirming, it must be called “invasion” not “crisis” since second one gotten from russian propaganda since 2014, when the war against Ukraine actually started.

I’m working in a volunteer centre and can provide with more info on how it’s possible to help, all official. Red Cross is hardly helping, only if it’s Ukrainian Office Red Cross, I guess you might heard something about it.

Waiting for our 🇺🇦 victory soon and I’m ready to contribute to making Ukrainian hunt on that point 😉

Grateful to all people of all countries that provide us help! Much support and love sending back! The light will win 💙💛
 
As a Ukrainian, thank you.

Hi PIMD Family,
As many of you are already aware Russia has recently declared war on Ukraine and an invasion is underway.
At ATA, our Ukrainian players are in our thoughts, and we are sending our love and support your way. Please do what you can to stay safe.

Through this crisis we should all put focus into how we can support those impacted. This means supporting those in Ukraine, but also those with loved ones there and those that are dealing with the stressors tied to this situation. Let's all work together to create safe spaces to support each other in this incredibly difficult time.

Support Each Other Personally


Gaming can often be an escape for people dealing with traumatic experiences, so be mindful to be extra kind to each other and accepting that others may be dealing with stressors we are unaware of.

Let's also avoid arguing with each other about the situation in-game. Arguments like this can become insensitive very quickly, and can be triggering for those trying to escape this reality.

Remember that we all could use someone to talk to right now, so let's show up for our friends.

Supporting Charitable Organizations


Below are just a few of the charities that are supporting Ukrainians directly impacted, although there are several more out there. I encourage you to do your own research to find the way you feel most comfortable providing support.

International Committee of the Red Cross
The ICRC will be directly supporting the Ukrainian Red Cross with the rebuilding of infrastructure in Ukraine. You may also find your local branch of the Red Cross is accepting donations, or you can directly donate to the Ukrainian Red Cross.

Voices of Children
This is a Ukrainian based charity directly helping children impacted by the war through psychological and psychosocial support.

There's alot going on, so that's very true. I hope the ones who cause trouble don't go too far with arguing and jokes, like usual. And our hearts do go out to them and hope that this war ends soon, without anymore bs ♡
