    - I think it's a 100,000 square mile area. -- nm - Ender Jan 26, 11:06 1
      - Yeah, per heavy.com: - JaxSean Jan 26, 11:08
  - they get an ATM card they can use to withdraw $100 at a time to a max of $500 and cann't leave the Georgia/Florida area -- nm - Beaker Jan 26, 10:55 2

      - Why send messages? Just disappear. -- nm - sycor Jan 26, 11:00 3

        "adult incest themes" -- nm - Max Jan 26, 11:09
        
        So: nudity = bad. but guns/killing/gore=okay. got it -- nm - CQ Jan 26, 10:45 1
        
        Frankly, I'm not sure any of those are bad. My kids are quite well adjusted. - Mop Jan 26, 11:11
        
        yes to your IM - there is a ton of it in episode 3 -- nm - Epiphany Jan 26, 10:39 1
