* If the DM is clearly trying to run a horror/suspense game in which we have no outside support, my character's first priority should not be obtaining outside support
** Creating an entire secret government agency to support us is right out

* Just because the game is set "in the real world" doesn't mean that my character can buy anything I can find advertised online cheap
** It's my own fault that I now get ads for 1-pentyl-isocyanide all over the internet
*** Any government watch lists I got added to are also my own fault

* "I don't know about that danger in-character" is not a good reason to lead the party into a TPK
** Nor is "I'm not very attached to this character yet"

* If my original character concept was "Especially Fascist Cop", I should not be the party conscience.
