Dan "Rekrul" Schreiber, 21, a high-school graduate and avid Starcraft player known for his interest in Barbara Streisand trivia, Star-Wars lore and collectible TV memorabilia, should just give up, a panel of BNET and Korean officials agreed Monday.

Years of long, heart-wrenching struggle on the part of Schreiber to discover some tiny fragment of meaning and validity in his pointless, unfulfilling existence should be abandoned, officials said, as there is "no evidence at this time indicating a reasonable likelihood of a positive outcome of such a search."

"There's no point in Rekrul continuing to strive to find validity and meaning in his life," said fellow [pG] member Liquid'Nazgul. "It's not going to happen. That much, at least, we know. We're clear on that point."

Drone, a fellow Liquid member agreed with Nazgul. "Dan's best bet is to throw in the towel and abandon these fruitless 'hopes,'" he said. "Things will go a lot easier for him once he accepts the inevitability of his confusion and emptiness."

Drone said that Rekrul recently embarked on an unsuccessful campaign to improve the quality of his life through a series of consumer-purchases, which only served to compound his misery. His decision to switch from his usual Sunny Delight-brand citrus-flavored fruit drink to Capri Sun-brand juice-box beverages, for example, resulted in "no appreciable improvement in his life," Drone said, as did his purchase of an extra-long Reach toothbrush and an easier-to-program VCR remote control.

He later tried to create a Starcraft training camp and Starcraft lessons. The latter failed because he mistakingly placed a no-pay clause if you beat him in a best of three. After Elky's abuse of the priviledge and 56 best of 3 series and 3 weeks of wasted time, Rekrul decided to abandon the idea and create a Starcraft camp instead with his friend ilnp. The camp hasn't started yet, but Rekrul remains optimistic abouts its success. "I know there are many others like me, who lack any sort of meaningful existence, and instead wish to escape into videogames to create our self-worth... and Kerrigan is damn sexy."

Rekrul has avidly searched for a sense of validation and purpose in his life since childhood. For all his searching, however, he has yet to find anything even remotely spiritually fulfilling, and has on numerous occasions expressed dejection over the apparent futility of his personal quest.

Yet Rekrul, though increasingly fixated on his inability to discover a way to live meaningfully, remains optimistic. "I've got to go on, somehow," he said in a flat, dull monotone, barely concealing the all-pervasive despair which will eventually engulf him. "I can't give up. Not ever. There's got to be something that makes my life worthwhile. I am a human being, and every person is special. I just know it."

BNET USA West disagree. "Clearly, Rekrul is too wrapped up in this issue on a personal level to be able to step back and see that there is, in fact, nothing special about him," Infinity[pG] said. "The more tenaciously he clings to the belief that he has value as a person and that there must be some overall good he can serve in his life, the greater and more drawn-out his agony will be."

"Ideally, we'd like to see him give up and stagger through life with deadened, glassy eyes; perfunctorily performing his undemanding Starcraft-related duties in a soulless haze, and then stare at white noise on the television until sleep brings a momentary respite from the unending oblivion of meaninglessness," Nazgul said. "Until he can accept that there is no point in anything about his life, he will always be disappointed beyond heartbreak."
