My name is Bruce Allen Morris and I used to go by the moniker Maxwell on the Acaeum. I am here to confess to my crimes.

I stole many modules/products from the WOTC library in Renton WA while employed by Unico Properties Inc when they managed the three buildings out of the four in the complex with the last being a FAA building.

Why am I admitting this and detailing my crime? I am getting ready to commit suicide and want to fess up.

I would wear my maintenance uniform to gain access to the site. No one would question me and I would just carry my work bucket with me and stuff items I wanted into it.

I used to smoke cigs with a guy named Kim who did some stuff on the dragon magazine but he never suspected a thing.

In particular I would go the double doors of the library with my bucket and go to the back of the room where the magic card cases were and behind them the bins of AD&D was. I would stuff as much as I could get away with into my work bucket and leave. The artists and staff were oblivious to me.

I took probably 500-1000 items including a Jade Hare. If you bought items from me and they were stamped TSR or signed or notes in them then they came from TSR's library as I didn't have any other items of my own.

I am happy to answer any other questions regarding these events. You can contact me at bruceallenmorris@gmail.com and I will respond asap. I expect to have killed myself by this coming saturday so ask soon.

Thank you for your time.

Not funny in so many ways.

If serious about suicide, friend: please get some help soon.Talk to somebody close by, even if it's a complete stranger.

If not, get some help sooner and get off this channel ASAP.

Former Acaeum member Maxwell is a story unto himself. Lies, theft, more lies, and even threats to another members life (or their childrens....cant remember for sure) before he got banned. I think he came back under at least one other username a couple of years later only to get banned again. Unfortunately it looks like all of his old posts were deleted. Either that or I am just that piss poor at searching for them.

His older posts are listed under a Guest.. just do a search on "Maxwell" and they will come up...

Sucide is never the way.. and the fact that he gives himeself a week time line is a plea for help hopefully.. maybe it's another lie maybe its not.. seeking attention or just the truth.. but its never the way..

Find relegion and dedicate your life to helping others, seek help.. no matter where you are in life there are litterally millions of people that are worse off, children living in rubbish dumps in Asia, people starving etc etc.. trust me no matter how low you now they are people that look at you and wish they could live as you do now.. someties its harder to live.. death is the easy way out.. but its never someting to joke about weather you are saying it or responding too it..

I think he's a but retarded. The constant need for attention and the approval from the forum leads me to think he's got a mental illness and some form of disability. The need for our approval and attention would seem to indicate he is unsuccessful in forming relationships in real life, and has issues with his father.

The guy is full of sh"t as always. To be honest, there isn't much of a personality or brain in there to cease functioning anyways, and his social disability and retardedness are likely to prevent him from 'finding religion' and/or 'helping others'. Sociopathic people do not possess the function to empathise. The only possess the ability to fake empathy, and the motivation is always self interest.

The guy is just a sociopath, a little slow of mind, desperately seeking approval and attention, and he comes here from time to time to try to find self worth. In all likelihood he does the same thing in other aspects of his life and in other online arenas. He probably realises his personal life and work life are a complete failure, realises his personality are the reason, but doesn't possess the ability to understand why.

He's just a f"ckwit.

Well to be fair I think it is possible that he can find religion but it's liable to be Vecna, or Iuz, or Tharizdun...

Anybody remember the fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? The moral of the fable is that "the story shows that this is how liars are rewarded: even if they tell the truth, no one believes them."

Even now I believe he's full of shit. And even if he wasn't, I honestly wouldn't care. He's a waste of sperm and the quicker he removes himself from the gene pool the better.

Well suicide is not the way to go... I think that is understood.

Not to be heartless... Buuuuut... My question would be perhaps he should be investigated for theft? Assuming of course he is telling the truth about his "crimes"...

Can you imagine how disappointed his mother must be in him? To have a child and have dreams for what your child could be, and to realise what he's become?

Uggh, I really hate to resurface on thread like this, but I pop in from time to time and see what's up. Scott or really anyone who thinks this might be a legit threat and wants to try to intervene:

http://www.facebook.com/people/Bruce-Al ... 31?sk=wall

I'm not prone to post any other information publiclly , although I do now have it in.

Bruce, if you're seriously entertaining killing yourself, seek help bro.

Legitimately.

No games.

You obviously have family and friends at home that care. You've got a 9 year old kid that needs his dad.

Life f'n sucks sometimes, but you'll get through it if you work at it.

I get so tired of this crap.

As I see it, he's either a troll (more than likely), or he's legitimate -- in which case, he is far better served contacting a help line, a police department, his family, or his friends. This forum is not Facebook or MySpace -- personal lives and problems are best resolved elsewhere. We already have enough drama around here as it is.

If any of you are genuinely concerned about this individual, he helpfully provides his e-mail address in the first post. bclarkie has also posted his Facebook account link.

For the record, while I've never seen or heard a description of the "TSR Library", I seriously doubt it was a hallowed hall of rich mahogany, guarded by thick double doors and security cameras. It was probably a couple bookcases in someone's office (John Rateliff), where reference copies were kept for just that -- reference. Additionally, "I smoked a couple cigs with some guy named Kim" is pretty standard trollbait. Kim? You mean KIM MOHAN?

I'm locking this down before further idiocy develops, such as Bruce's sister appearing and canvassing for donations.
