Anyone dying in such a senseless manner is always sad.
I am curious as to how people have this information though...When the various news services can't even seem to confirm the death or that it was an American?
"The State Department does not have independent confirmation of the death, the official said. The nationality of the worker was not immediately clear."

I can't express things as eloquently as people above, suffice it to say the long form is pretty similar in thought process to what Verone has said.
It is always a shame to hear about these tragedies, it's bad enough when it is people outside the Eve universe but when it is someone we know (whether personally or by reputation) it hurts even more.
Much respect for the flood of outpost renaming appearing on DOTLAN. A fitting memorial for someone so involved in the "constructive" parts of New Eden. I'm sure some of those wouldn't be there today without Vile Rat's diplomatic ability. |

The family are usually notified pretty quickly, they'll release the details to the news when they think it's appropriate. |

Friends of the family always have the information first. That, and the US Government is controlling the release on this information. It wouldn't be good to release it before the morning news in the US. |

Hey everyone,
This is very sad and I wish to pay my respects.
On that note I have removed/edited a few posts in here.
Keep it civil and don't go digging up old quoted stuff that was already deleted. It really serves no purpose other then starting an argument and getting people riled up. We are doing our best to keep this thread cleaned and civil please help us out by just doing so.
If you have a problem with a post please just report it and we will look at it as soon as possible.

"The State Department does not have independent confirmation of the death, the official said. The nationality of the worker was not immediately clear."
The statement released by Clinton a few hours ago acknowledged that it was an American official that was killed. VR was apparently on jabber moments before it happened and his final posts before signing off were "****, gunfire". Beyond that I don't know how it was verified that he was in fact the victim, but given the number of threads on the Something Awful forums about it including the one stickied (he was a moderator there), I don't see any reason to doubt the veracity of what his friends are saying.
This is such a harsh reminder of how awful the world can be sometimes. The internet has made the world a smaller place, and it has brought so many of us so much closer together even though we may pass each other on the street without ever recognizing one another. We forget that the person on the other end of our warp disruptor is a person too, with a job, a family, maybe kids like VR. Maybe they're the guy serving you fries when you get McDonalds. Maybe they're the jerk in the BMW that cut you off yesterday. Or maybe they're the public servant doing his job under dangerous conditions. We never really think about that until something tragic like this happens.
This is truly gut-wrenching. Reading Mittens' post, reading the Something Awful forum threads, reading Twitter, this hits hard and hits close even though I didn't personally know VR. The more I read about him, the more I realize he was the sort of person I wish I had known, and the fact that he was killed so senselessly makes it that much harder to swallow.
My thoughts are with him and his family tonight. He left behind a wife and two children who will grow up without a father. |

"The State Department does not have independent confirmation of the death, the official said. The nationality of the worker was not immediately clear."
Word gets around fast. I knew that Osama was dead a full two hours before any news outlet through two sources - one in the US state department and the other being a high school friend with connections in the stock market who got an early tip and made a lot of cash off of silver trading because of it.

RIP Vile Rat. Your alliance misses you, your allies miss you and hell, the alliances not friendly to Goons miss you.
You were a credit to EVE Online through both your diplomatic and your CSM accomplishments. I know you planned to run for CSM8 and it's a massive misfortune that it won't be graced by your presence.
Wherever you are is absolutely a better, less ****** place. Rest in Peace, friend. |
