2 years past, and life stuff has happened, as it happens my will has a slew of amendments tacked on, that are probably going to confuse my poor parents, so its time for a proper update.
Simply put, I have a lot of stuff. By default all of my stuff, including the house, goes to my parents. However a lot of it, particularly my LARP stuff neither of them will have a clue what to do with, so I am deciding for them.
Following on from previously in the traditional adventuring hero of "loot the bodies!" Who wants bits of my stuff? If you know about something of mine that you wouldn't mind prying from my cold dead fingers, then by all means list it up here. This was originally for LARP kit, but I have a lot of other stuff too, you are welcome to ask for what you like.
You may be too late, after previous years some of my kit is already willed to people. I don't intend to say if you are written in, just if something you ask for is already spoken for. I will leave discovering how much I like you until after it is no longer my problem.
Rules of the game:
- You have to attend my funeral. Crying optional but preferred. No funeral attendance = no stuff.
- You do not get to know if you are written into the will beforehand, that would spoil the game.
- You are responsible for collecting the items at a time convenient for my parents and transporting them to where-ever you happen to live, my parents will not be posting any of them. Transport will probably be from my house in Cambridge, but may be from Milton Keynes.
- Any LARP stuff not willed to people will be auctioned and funds split between the RAF Association and the Royal British Legion. But will requests are not limited to my LARP gear if you happen to know of other things I own that you would like.
- No, you may not have the house.
- There are numerous circumstances of death that specifically disinherit some or all of you, including but not limited to: stab wounds, bears, freak yachting accidents.
- The trick to bumping me off is therefore to work out what set of circumstances disinherit you and avoid them, whilst somehow contriving a situation that hits all the others and disinherits everyone else.
- Given funeral attendance is mandatory you are automatically added to list B (below), so I need to have some way of contacting you that can be used by my parents. (That means postal address, email or phone).
- You may well discover that I am having the last laugh.
Lists
In addition to my will I maintain 2 lists of people to contact.
List A is "people to contact if I am seriously injured." Basically anything that will incapacitate me to such an extent that I suddenly drop off the face of the world.
List B is "people to contact if I am dead." This implicitly includes everyone in list A, and everyone who is willed something.
If you would be added to either list, let me know. If you have previously asked then you are on them, but may need to update me.
As before I am not expecting to shuffle off the mortal coil any time soon unless some of you lot "help".
