(4:02:08 AM) directorbot: My people, I have greivous news. Vile Rat has been confirmed to be KIA in Benghazi; his family has been informed and the news is likely to break out on the wire services soon. Needless to say, we are in shock, have no words, and have nothing but sympathy for his family and children. I have known Vile Rat since 2006, he was one of the oldest of old-guard goons and one of the best and most effective diplomats this game has ever seen.
His family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I can't say I ever knew him or spoke to him, but EVE players are a community, and whenever we lose a member of the community we all feel it. And I don't know what to say. http://themittani.com/features/local-problem A simple fix to the local intel problem |

Saying this is saddening would be too little to really express how this feels.
You may very well have been a "vile rat" in EVE, but I'm certain you were a good man IRL, a man who did not deserve such a terrible fate. Rest in peace, and most sincere sympathies to your family, friends and cherished ones.
I'm at a loss for words and the only thing I can think of to honour your legacy is "death2allsupers". CAUTION

Every last member of GSF and all friends of VR have my condolences tonight, my thoughts are with you all. This is some pretty ****ed up ****.
I've had the honor of getting to know Sean via the CSM alumni channel, and had several private exchanges with him as well during my term. I regret not being able to get to know him better in the time we had. I could tell one thing though - the man was passionate about the game, and passionate about his community, and had he run in CSM8 as the CFC representative he would have made a strong chairman.
Rest in peace, Sean. EVE will miss you. You served both your community and your country with excellence. Vice Secretary of the 7th Council of Stellar Management.

To most of us, war seems like a distant thing.
We see reports of our troops on the front lines, interviews and news broadcasts from distant countries. We see the aftermath of gunfights, politically and religiously motivated riots and violence that stain the streets red.
We see images and videos of terrorist atrocities, made even more vivid by today's free flow of information across the internet via a million social networking and news outlets, and we see the caskets of those who give their lives to maintain our safety and protect our liberties and freedoms, be they civilian or military, come home repatriated and draped in the colours of our nations.
But for so many people these things are distant. They're something that's only viewed pixel by pixel, frame by frame, byte by byte as they're streamed across the internet to displayed in front of us in the safety of our home or office. It's a disconnected window into a world that shows the worst of human nature.
As a generation, we've become desensitised by these images that are beamed across the globe to us every day, but it still hits hard and fast when something like this kicks down the door to your life and forces itself inside.
Words of condolence never do enough to assuage the pain that comes from cruel and tragic events like this, but I have a few regardless :
To the Goons :
You're a pack of trolling bastards, you know this, and the rest of Eve knows this. However you've brought your own wonderful flavour of humour and madness to New Eden over the years, and have become a core part of such a vibrant community. Every one of you has my deepest condolences. As CEO of a corporation who's also lost people in the past due to unforeseen and tragic circumstances, myself and everyone who's ever worn our colours know the pain you're feeling. Every one of you has my deepest and most sincere sympathy.
To Vile Rat's Family & Friends both in and out of game :
I didn't know him well personally, my interaction with him in Eve was minimal. To me, he was always a well respected friend of a friend, but he served as a rock solid member of CSM6 with the best intentions of the playerbase at the forefront of his mind. It's terrible to hear of a loss like this, and I can't possibly begin to understand how you all must be feeling. You have my deepest condolences.
Finally, the people who're trolling this thread are a disgrace, and I'm glad you're having your asses handed to you by CCL.
I talked about the worst in human nature, and those of you who're behaving in a derogatory manner here are the personification of that. If you had any sense of self worth, you'd be ashamed of yourselves.
To Vile Rat, Rest In Peace. I don't think there's any doubt that you touched a lot of people's lives and left a legacy that will be remembered.
Fly safe.

I never know what to say when violence affects us through communities we belong to, rather than an immediate personal effect. It seems trite to be affected by the death of someone whom I didn't really know when his family and friends have just received some of the worst news of their lives.
But that's the thing. We're a community. We're a team. All of us signed up to play this silly game of submarines and pixels and all of a sudden we find that we do care about each other. Beyond any shouting we may do when we disagree, what affects one of us, what affects a group within our community affects us all.
Anyway.
Vile Rat, wherever you are, I'm gonna miss seeing that stupid bald head of yours on the side of the threads. It was always a sign of goodposting to come. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

In the little niche world of New Eden, we have men and women of all types. Some good, some bad, and quite frankly...some completely intolerable. I originally wanted to experience EVE as I dovetailed into the DUST aspect of our universe. But once here I became immersed by legends of old. The BoB Wars. The heists. The Swarm itself. I found lifelong friends, and have made enemies. Even diabolical rivalries that spanned multiple regions in Empire and Null. But those interactions left me better off, and have taught me things that impact my everyday scourge of real life.
In my short year playing, the one thing I had learned was that the Goonswarm Federation were invariably always labled the "bad guys." However I leapt on the chance to join TNT so that I could feel that excitement of living amongst a large alliance in the depths of null space. My only worry was the CFC, the so-called bad guys, and what that might do to my reputation in New Eden. But today I witnessed something that not only deeply effected those who knew him personally, but effected our entire coalition as a result.
I did not know Vile personally. I wish I had. People tell me stories of his enjoyment of shooting blues and such. Tonight as a member of the inner circle, the Waffe itself, snidely shot his mouth off about the death of a comrade, I came to understand something that most outsiders of the CFC would never be able to experience unless they were there. As Octavious Delance's ratting carrier was doused in the purging fire of his own hubris, I came to realize that these individuals I fly nightly with, they are not the bad guys. They are my brothers. That even in death, these men and women would stand by my spectral being and stand forward in my name.
Vile Rat, I never knew you. I never had the pleasure. But while in this life you stood and lost your life in the face of adversity, you will be remembered by all. It is the next life that awaits you now. I hope it is a life filled with drake blobs, Das Uber Boots, and grids upon grids of blues, blues to target and destroy with your never-ending cargo hold of ammunition. Shoot Blues Erryday for eternity my friend.
To your wife and children, know that the love of thousands of video game nerds, the world over, fall to your shoulders. While I know the loss of those loved, nothing will bring his love back to you, and it hurts beyond anything mankind can experience. But you have us, and as we demonstrated tonight to Mr. Delance, we fight forever in Vile's name.
To my CFC brothers, I love you all. You have shown me that living in New Eden is not as harsh as I once thought. Thank you for breathing new life into EVE for me tonight. You are not the "bad guys", but rather brother-in-arms. Brothers, who in the face of adversity, stand united. To our unity, to Vile and his family, to all those others lost in the "cliff" of EVE........I love you all. Until you jump on grid with me and are neutral. After all rules are rules and NBSI is a pretty important rule. Goodnight New Eden, and may your prayers to Vile's family never fade. |

My extreme condolences to VR's family and friends for their loss. Although I only spoke to him in passing as a new member of GF, he always was both amusing with his posting and full of saint-like patience for idiots like me and the rest of the newbie goons.
It's a small world, friends, and no matter what we think of each other in-game, there are real people behind the internet spaceships. This is the third time someone I've known through video games has been KIA and it doesn't hurt any less than it does for the few people I've known in RL that have shared the same fate.
I truly wish that some day the only violence we have to worry about would be in a video game. |

I didn't know him well. Only got to talk to him a couple of times really. During the monoclegate situation at the outset of incarna, after the CSM was called to Iceland and basically went into lockdown, he was one of 2 members of the CSM who still came out and talked with us.
I can tell you that he cared a ton for Eve, and New Eden is a darker place without him.
There are never great words to say at a time like this, but my thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family, what a tragic loss. |

We Americans value freedom of speech in the extreme compared to many cultures and know it is perplexing to some. You will not be sent to jail or be fined for offending people and the expression of ideas is central to the American identity. I watched enough of the video in question that spurred this killing to understand it was a pointless piece of misguided trash. However, we as Americans would not suffer to see it suppressed to avoid offense or even to save the lives of our own at home or abroad. There is a price for holding the line on ideas and the bill for freedoms never seems to be paid in full. VR's/Sean Smith's death is a consequence of our imperative to live by these ideals. Given that he died in direct service to our country only makes clearer that his death was a sacrifice to these ideals.
I am known to speak and write plainly of an unpopular ideals and uncomfortable truths. As I do so I will forever connect VR's life and death with my ability to do so. We must remember what we have lost to be who and what we are lest we be shamed as spoiled unworthy children.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. --Thomas Jefferson

The cold hard fact remains this: He died doing what he loved. He had the choice of not putting himself in the position he was in, but he chose that life. Weeping over his death, or claiming it was a loss, dishonors Vile Rat. Why not act instead?
You really want to honor him?
Take out the ideals that killed them. Fight oppression and promote personal freedom in the real world. Start using your diplomatic skills and resources to affect change in the real world instead of wasting energy. Do what he did, and go forth into the world even if you risk it all, and try to make it a better place.
Or you can just stay in your basements and eat more hot pockets and post in a worthless thread he will never see. |

I didn't know him. I couldn't have known him, personally with where I am currently at in the game.
But I've read up on the game, the history, the politics, the wars. And I've caught the name several times involved with the in-game aspect of EVE. I've also seen some of his forum posts, and heard many, many things through the grapevine. Even though I didn't know him, he had my respect. This doesn't change the respect I held for the man behind the toon.
To GSF, his friends, his work-buddies, and his family: My deepest condolences to all of you. I can't even imagine what this is like for any of you to lose someone so fascinating from an in-game perspective and, from what I understand, down-to-earth and friendly from a RL perspective
The Sandbox won't feel the same without Vile Rat's shovel moving through it, both in game and with his efforts elsewhere.
Rest in Peace, Vile Rat. May your spaceships always fly safe wherever you opted to go. |

May his soul find peace as he passes on to the afterlife, forgetting all squarrels he had in this world. I do believe death solves all problems of a man, but we have to believe and hope that the afterlife, if there is one, is free of unfairness such as this death where someone somewhere dies for no personal reason. Our world is a tragedy in that sense, and it's always bad to hear of someone that that someone is a person I've heard of. I wish his family condolence and himself knowlegde that he is acknowledged by this community. |

How about you **** the right off? Cry me a river of tears. You are gloating because someone died in RL. You have some serious problems if you are wishing RL harm on someone just because you dont like their alliance.
obviously you are new to this game. dig up some old threads about others who have passed. you will see that goonswarm was not nice and tried to be edgy by shitting up threads. what that dude said was out of line, but no where near as pathetic as goons.

On a slightly unrelated note... it's kinda interesting to know that even the US State Department plays EVE. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

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. |

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. |

"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. |

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.

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. |

What really bothers me about this is that The American goverment helped Libya overthrow its goverment, helped them fight and kill there dictatorship and this is how they treat us? Because of a video one American citzen made they went on a violent rampage to protect there god. Do they see us Americans going ape **** because someone burned a bible? Rarely. Do you see us freak out when someone protests our religion? No we accept each others views. Not only this for Americans but for others countries as well. An innocent american was killed by protesters protesting another persons actions... Im not affiliated with Goonswarm, im on the other side of EVE aganist goonswarm, did i know who vile rat was? no. Either or NO ONE should of died this way because of another persons views on there religion. That is the end of my rant. RIP Vile Rat |

What sad news to wake up to :(. Seems unreal. I sat in many CSM meetings with him and he was so knowledgeable and unafraid to speak his mind. I've only read and heard how much he helped shape EVE from the inside but I got to see how he helped shape it as a member of the CSM. R.I.P. Vile Rat and thanks for everything.

Vile Rat was a good man.
The true Vile Rats are those muslims who justify murder and torture of Non-muslims simply because their Quran demands it and that insulting allah is a good reason too.
Islam is not a religion of peace, it is of world domination and violence.
Islam spreads by the sword. Islam has draw its sword and will die by the sword. "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth."

I heard the first rumors of this before I went to bed, and dismissed it as just another one of the jokes which permeates life in GSF. Woke up to the jabber broadcasts, read the mittani article, and I still can't really fathom that he's gone.
Of course, we did the one thing which I can think of to pay our respect to the man: we shot some blues in his name.
May he be told of our deeds, wherever he is. RIP. :smith: |

I never personally knew Vile Rat and never spoke to him ingame, I only ever heard rumours or legends surrounding his name. The one thing I do know is that he knew what he was doing, he kept the gears in goons grinding and was a well respected and feared opponent on the battlefield for all thr right reasons. It is a sad day today.
Rest in peace Vile Rat, be the diplo of the heavens now.

I've not heard of Vile Rat before today, I saw a bunch of messages on Twitter and had to google to get some details.
The first result struck a cord with me. We see these sorts of things on TV and they seem so far away. I never knew Vile Rat, but in the time I've played EVE, I've flown with people that do.
I've amassed many many friends on EVE, the caliber of that I couldn't imagine waking up one day, and them not being there.
My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to those fortunate enough to have known Vile Rat, and mostly to the family he has left behind. |

Having dealt with Vile Rat a few times in my Internet Spaceship "career", I always found him to be a pleasant, fair and knowledgeable person.
He will be sorely missed by Goons, the CFC as a whole, and the HBC along with many of our mortal enemies in game.
My thoughts go out to his family, his friends and his co-workers. I'd like to propose that we request that CCP honour him in-game in some fashion. His dedication to the game, and to improving the way that we play can never be stated enough

"Vile Rat" was a name you could mention in any conversation about the pointy end of EVE, without needing to explain who he was. He wasn't a figurehead or a whipping boy, he didn't have a gimmick - he was just a guy who'd accrued enough respect to be noticed.

Vile Rat. I never talked to him myself, but he is famous throughout the EVE community and his name rang a bell.
Once again, the world presents itself as a small place. It's a strange feeling to read on the news about a guy dying in Libya - and then to realize that you "know" this guy.
Well, I didn't know him, but I knew his avatar. And you realize that behind all the avatars there is a living person with his own ideals and plans.
In this case it was person who wasn't afraid to go to foreign countries and to support progress in these countries. He died because blind hatred was sown. Let's hope we all can overcome this hatred soon.
Rest in peace Sean Smith. |

I am too young a character to EVE to have had the chance of meeting you, Vile Rat. But from what I've learned of who you were, I regret it.
Rest in peace. Our prayers go with you and your family.
Now I have the feeling that some people blame solely religion for that. Did people blame science when Japan was bombed, Vietnam napalmed...? No, people blamed politics, blamed war, blamed people that manipulate others in order to get power.
Religion does not create fanaticism. People hungry for power, full of hatred, use religion to create fanaticism and use it to serve their own purpose.
So please, stop saying nonsense like "that's how religion always ends", cause you wouldn't say "that's how science always ends" every time someone gets killed by chemicals, bad treatment, or other...
RIP, brother. You'll be missed. |

May his family have consolation in the fact that, while our pain is less than theirs, he is mourned by many - Eve Friends and Eve Enemies alike.
The world as a whole is diminished whenever a good and passionate man dies, he was working to make the world a safer place so that blind mobs didn't cause this kind of tragedy. |

Damn, this guy was a thorn in my side when ASCN was trying to build it's first titan. I had to put a spy in Goons to counter his spy in ASCN. The intel/counterintel game that went on between the two of us was some of the most fun I'd had in a while.
Thank you Vile Rat, for contributing so much to a game I enjoy. Rest in Peace. My condolences to Friends and Family.

fair enough, tho i think that being something official, done my CCP, would probably get more ppl to help. yes unfortunately there are too many ppl that cant distinguish a game from real life. a monument at the very least would be nice. |

I've never liked Goons. In fact, you could say I've always despised Goons, so the temptation to make some snide remark or disparaging comment crossed my mind.
But no.
It's easy to forget that on the other end of that character portrait, there's a human being, just like you. A human being who has feelings and dreams and fears and hopes and friends and family, just like you. A human being who's flesh and blood, just like you. A human being who enjoys the game, just like you. And it's hard, not just to deal with but to even comprehend, that sometimes, that person can die. That even though that character portrait and forum account is still there, they're gone, and they're never coming back. That character portrait stares back at you and you expect to hear their voice on Ventrilo or see them write something in corp chat but it's never going to happen again. The internet gives things that are gone a strange and sometimes hurtful permanence.
I'm sorry for your loss, Goons, and for the family of Vile Rat. Mane 614

The alliance you helped to create has been of great influence to my Eve experience; from the dreadnoughts that I sold you to the POS:es of mine that you destroyed with my ships.
Your absence makes this world a small bit less exciting. My great condolences to the pilots he flew with, to his friends, and especially to his family. I hope that all of Eve could commemorate his passing by not fighting for a day. There's been enough of that for one day. |

Another person dies due to the mind numbing stupidity that is religion, how dare any of the people who where there last night think for one second that what they did could ever have any justification. To kill a man because someone half a world away made a film you disagree with is completely incomprehensible to me, its shocking ignorant people still remain in this day and age.
I never had any connection with vile rat but i feel for his family, there is nothing anyone can say but you are in mine and my familys thoughts. |

I could not agree more with this statement. This is 2012, not the bloody bronze age.
I hope CCP gives him some kind of monument. Vile Rat was an awesome human being and deserves some mark of respect.
RIP you marvellous space commie 07

Not sure if this has been mentioned but can a fund be setup by CCP OR Goonswarm whereby Eve players can donate and all proceeds go to his immediate family. I think it would be a good idea.

Yeah something along those lines. Plex or a straight forward paypal donation run and collected by EVE (ccp) or on behalf of . I think it would be a great gesture from the community. |

I'm still pretty choked up about this.
VR was awesome. He was the kind of internet spaceships player that was too humble to demand respect, but passively earned it anyways from anybody he came in contact with. I did not have the opportunity to speak with him as often as I would've liked, but when things went awry I knew who to go to. He will be missed the world over.

Your actions in this internet spaceship game made you well known and respected. Not through any single great deed or action, but through your wisdom, knowledge, selflessness and great ability for your chosen in game profession.
Your dedication to your family, your friends, your work and your country is hugely commendable, you led a truly well trodden life and must have been to places and experienced things that not many can even begin to comprehend, and for that, you are respected and remembered.
The EVE community has known loss before, but never of someone so well known, influential and well respected. This episode in the 9 year old persistent universe you helped to create, can only serve to mature the community and game as a whole and bring the community closer together through shared experience of loss of a truly... great... capsuleer, diplomat, father, husband and human being.

I have only exchanged spaceship manlove through the forum with Vile Rat, so on one hand I have NO business at all posting in this thread.
But damn....
Every time something like this happens I feel humanity just died a bit.....again...
It is really sad a handful people can ruin humanity by telling people to fight each other, bomb each other......to maintain "their freedom" has a HUMAN being.....
Vile Rat, may your journey be infinit...
Once you think you have it all, you-áhave actually become-áignorant towards everything else.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
Not my words, but appropriate. |

This wasn't the loss of a Goon or some internet mafia man, this was the loss of someone known and highly respected across New Eden. Despite my concerns about Goons et all, this should never have happened, and its an absolute tragedy that it did.
I hope those responsible are brought to justice quickly, and dealt punishment slowly.
I hope his family is getting all the support it can from not only their real world fellows, but from us, the Eve player base.
And I hope that a PLEX drive comes up to keep his family (wife and two kids) strong and on their feet, as proposed in past threads.
Rest in Peace Sean Smith. Fly well, safe, and free beyond the stars. o7 |

I only ever spoke to Vile Rat maybe two or three times and only ever quick questions. As far as I remember he was the reason 0din ended up sleeping on a Goon couch in TN-T back before the war in Fountain with the rest of AIF.
Some people have more impact on other lives and some people have less. Vile Rat appears to have had an impact on so very many in Eve alone never mind the wide world.
This man was not killed in a war or any justifiable way, he was murdered, plain and simple, by lesser men who probably have no idea why they are even doing these things.
The world is a lesser place for this mans passing and my thoughts are with his family and friends in their time of loss. Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

As a former combat veteran I know the hardships and seperation and being away from family.. Your loss is both a blow to this community and to your family and friends.. I feel proud and humbled to know that the man who in game was my sworn enemy was still fighting and serving for freedom and democracy for our country and that sadly, in the end he paid the ultimate sacrafice.. That this community can transcend the boundries we set up in game against each other and to come together in grieving... Wherever you are Sean, I hope the mortal hold of pain and suffering of this world does not have a grip on you, and that the eve community and your friends and family will never forget your contributions both in and out of this game. Wherever you are I hope you are at peace...

Vile-rat liked a few of my posts just hours before he died. It feels weird. I'd played with the man a few times, seen him in jabber all the time, and now he's gone, and it feels weird. It's saddening and surreal.
You know I woke up today and heard the embassy news, and I said out loud, "This really sucks but it doesn't affect me much, I just hope we don't go to war again over this." And then I find out Vile Rat was among the dead and I just don't know... |

A hero of Eve has passed on. What is the point if every race has an Jam/Damp/Disruptor/ ship etc? Not every race has to be a fluffy little mirror of each other, it's seriously not needed. Things like Gallente having the only drone BS and Caldari having the only ECM BS are incredibly cool distinctions that only add to EVE in both game play value and flavour. |

I am seriously having trouble concentrating at work. I met him in passing once, as you said barely knew him, but always remembered the name from that short encounter. I also work in IT and all I can think about is how frustrated I get with people in the office for stupid things when it comes to computers, and him having to deal with something similar (though far more advanced) and the looming constant threat as well.
Vile may have contributed immensely to EVE, but supporting international peaceful interests by far outshines his EVE career. I always had an appreciation for the Goon mentality, enjoying the game to the fullest whether is frowned upon or not, and Vile was enjoyment incarnate.

Oldma, Dibrle, and all of IRC joins the entire Eve Community in mourning the loss of a fine and honorable member of our community. Dibrle and Oldma have both personally dealt with Vile Rat on a number of occasions, beginning in 2007, and have always had the greatest respect for him. Indeed, his family even hails from Mandeville, Louisiana, just across the Causeway from my home in Metairie. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family, as well as the entire Eve community, over this loss. He will be missed.
IRC salutes another fallen hero.

I read the original post right before I went to bed last night. I originally withheld judgement, waiting to see if it was a scam (this being the internet and the post being related to a Goon, after all). Then, this morning, I checked various news sites and saw, almost immediately, an article naming "Sean Smith" as one of those killed.
It was like somebody had just punched me in the face.
Stuff in real life doesn't usually affect me; I've largely walled myself off from it since the world sucks so much. This one, however got past my guard. Vile Rat was someone who, though I never met him, was a member of this community, a group that I've been part of for most of my adult life (8 years). Moreover, he was engaged in real life work to help make the world a better place, trying to turn some of the senseless chaos and conflict into hope and peace.
And then he was killed in a pointless act of violence, all because some bigot half a world away posted something on the internet, and some reactionary extremists decided that mere words warranted the death of random people who weren't even involved in the original posting.
******* senseless.
The world is truly a poorer place for Vile Rat's passing. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Vile Rat. I hope you are in a better place. ![Sad](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_sad.png) |

His contributions and sacrifices for our EVE community and IRL will always be remembered and appreciated.
I also wanted to add my thanks to TheMittani for breaking the story and keeping us up to date. You are closer and better informed than even the MSM outlets on this, and I know it's not easy for you. Thank you for sharing this with us. It really means a lot.

There are no words that can suffice when someone is so cruelly taken before their time.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
There were times in Eve when Vile Rat along with so many other goons made me so mad I could spit venom. I did not know the man, but I'll remember those times fondly and more frequently from today on.
It's a testament to his character that not only did he hold such affect and effect on the scale that he did in this game but that he apparently did the same in the real world. It's a true loss to lose a man so able to change the world around him. |

I never had the pleasure of meeting or knowing Sean Smith (aka: Vile_rat) but I can relate to sudden loss and the shock and emotions that come with it.
What strikes me is that I learned enough about the person Sean Smith was from reading the comments and outreach from those that knew him, words of respect, admiration, love, kinship, camaraderie and loss; this is the greatest eulogy that could ever be written.
My prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends as they pick up the pieces of a shattered reality. ~Archon Azdan Amith,-á Order of Light's Retribution |

You know, I didn't realize I had actually met him until I saw his picture. I'm assuming it's the same Sean Smith that I met in 2006 in Israel. I was part of a Marine unit helping to evacuate Americans during the 2006 Israeli-Lebanon conflict. He's been a likable guy, and we'd hit it off even as we worked to get people out. It was pretty stressful, but he kept a chipper attitude, and I must say he was well-liked by the Marines I was with. Our Gunny at the time was a hardass who didn't like civilians, but when you saw a civilian helping to hulk around a 240G machinegun so the place is better protected, you give him the benefit of the doubt. Gunny liked ribbing on that guy in particular. "Stop ******* around with the civvies, lance corporal!" he'd yell at me. I'd affectionately tell Gunny to do something anatomically impossible, which would usually be met with a flash of the bird.
I'm saddened by this news. In fact, I'm pretty pissed over this whole ordeal. The last time Libyans did something liek this, ti was at the behest of the government and a plane was destroyed over Scotland. I can only hope Obama does the right thing here and takes a page out of Reagan's book...

Agreed 100%. After the Marine barracks in Lebannon were bombed, Reagan pushed for a bigger aid package, because a strong, capable government is the best hope of reining in the extremists. Reagan was a smarter president than many give him credit for.

This thread is as much a tribute to the man as it is one to this community. We are relentless in our ambitions, merciless in our struggles and we do not give nor expect quarter in the thick of it.
But when one of our own falls in the only tragic theater that is more drama-filled than the EVE universe, we show our respect for someone who truly committed and contributed.
My respectful condolences go out to his family.
May his example inspire us to be all we can be in this truly magnificent place and to continually help build the fabric of this rich tapestry we call New Eden.
Godspeed, Vile Rat.

Though I didn't know Vile Rat myself, the influence he has had on some of my compatriot players as well as the community at large permeates through these forums. One of our own has passed away. May CCP honor his memory in one way or another.
My condolences go out to his family and friends. " Take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand, I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. "

Semepr fi, bud. Agreed 100%. After the Marine barracks in Lebannon were bombed, Reagan pushed for a bigger aid package, because a strong, capable government is the best hope of reining in the extremists. Reagan was a smarter president than many give him credit for. No. I want him to bomb the **** out of Libya. I want him to remind people why you don't ******* attack diplomatic missions, because when you decide to attack diplomacy, you get war.
Reagan, because he was smarter than you, understood the difference between a hostile state and a hostile fanatic minority.
If it helps you to understand the difference, consider why the Federal government didn't bomb Oklahoma City after the McVeigh incident. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Spent 4-5 years fighting Goonswarm solid from the days of LV, right up to the end of Delve 2.
Can think of many times 'attempting' to verbally 'tackle' him in local but he was always to quick witted and 'dry' and ended up coming out on top. Later on, with politics ever changing, and VR's position on CSM i was impressed further by his articulate and funny nature.
What strikes me is that he was doing much of this diplomacy in Eve, whilst conducting true diplomacy, in many dangerous and difficult locations. Much of the eve political landscape over the past 5 years has been shaped to a great extent by his efforts, all the while serving his country.
My condolences are to his family, and RIP to Sean. |

Vile Rat R.I.P
It is men Like VR that make EvE such a great game. Even though I personally donGÇÖt have the wit for politics either in RL or EvE, I know itGÇÖs what makes the world go around. Even in Internet Spaceships. I would like to thank Him for his contribution not only to EvE but to America as well. My Thoughts and Prayers go out to His Family and friends in RL and His family and friends in EvE. In the almost 7 years I have spent in EvE I have grown many good and close relationships, so I know without a doubt he will be sorely missed by many in EvE.
To Mrs. VR I would like to thank you for His and your contribution to world peace and making Our Country a safer and better place to live. IGÇÖm sorry you had to pay the ultimate price for our freedom but I thank you for doing so.
Fly Free Fly Safe, Vile Rat, Wasur

He'll never leave the community. Every shell fired in nul, every ship popped, every bubble planted, every station captured or placed, and every cap or super cap built or destroyed will have a little bit of VR in it.
He shall never leave Eve, for when he helped forge it, he left a bit of him in it. |

Just saw this on the Dust forums. A sad day indeed. Like I said there, it always has to be things like this that drive the point back home of just how small our world really is, and that's even more sad.
I'm just going to say to hell with the NDA on this one point, and mention that the community over there was proposing an armor set be created as a tribute. I'd suggest that the Reykjav+¡k team do the same with a ship for EVE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eaUaJUhTZfw#t=148s An excellent example of why pod killmails are the best feature to be implemented in EVE Online since warping at zero. |

Is this the same goonswarm that made fun of the BoB guy that died?
edit before I get band: I mean, sure it sucks that someone died irl that a lot of people knew, but I think it's pretty damn ironic that the same people that were dancing on some kid's grave (Smokse?) are now engaging in the very behavior they mocked years ago. |

Re-upped just to post this.
Your sacrifice will not be in vain. We will not give into to the hatred and rage that those who killed you wish we would feel. We will not allow violence to consume us. We will continue to educate those they kept in the dark until all see the light of truth, and we will welcome them with open arms when they join us among the free nations of the world. For every step back, we shall still march forward. For every life lost, another shall step up to fill the loss. Our greatest weapon is the truth, and it cannot be defeated unless we ourselves allow it to be. WE SHALL PREVAIL, UNTIL ALL ARE FREE. |

RIP to an influential figure. EVE Players aren't the most religious of people - maybe that's why we pewpew each other in pixels rather than ending real lives. It's a shame that a promised afterlife will drive men to the most base and cowardly of acts.
EDIT: I spoke in haste. http://imgur.com/a/tlCyI says something about the people who do not bow down. "We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming. |

I was thinking of how to describe him with co-workers earlier today, and the best I could come up with was that he was "the Henry Kissinger of EVE", an influential figure in-game as Mittani noted that shaped galactic events for a good part of a decade. I wish I could have known him as more than a name and an affiliation, he seemed like a chill guy on many levels from the people that knew him best.
I think the Goons (purportedly) said it best...
Quote:As you grieve, remember that Vile Rat died doing what he loved, eating Libyan food and enraging people to the point of absurdity by his bare existence. |

I support this toast. As we speak I am podding corp members and mailing messages to my alliance diplomat, in Rat's honour.

If you played this game long enough there wasn't a chance in hell that you didn't know who Vile Rat was. Even if you never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, EVE Online is the way it is today due in large part to Vile Rat's work within it. He was a veteran both in and out of EVE, serving his country as well as Goonswarm with honor and an overwhelming sense of duty.
He will be sorely missed. |

It's a shame that a promised afterlife will drive men to the most base and cowardly of acts. EDIT: I spoke in haste. http://imgur.com/a/tlCyI says something about the people who do not bow down.
That reminds me of this: http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/3365.aspx
In the wake of criminal acts like this, it's important to remember that the people who murdered Sean Smith and Chris Stevens do not speak for Arabs. They do not speak for Muslims. They do not speak for Libyans. They are criminals, and criminals do not speak for their society, no matter why they claim to commit their crimes.
The vast majority of Arabs just want to quietly live their lives in peace. The vast majority of Muslims just want to quietly live their lives in peace. The vast majority of Lybians just want to quietly live their lives in peace. The vast majority of People just want to quietly live their lives in peace.
The best analogy for what happened in Benghazi that I can pull from American history are the activities of the Ku Klux Klan of the early 20th century. I hope we can all remember that the people responsible for these murderers represent the views of Libyans, Arabs, and Muslims as well as the Ku Klux Klan represents the views of Americans.

I did not know Sean Smith, I think I would have liked to.
I hope the donation thing that people are setting up for his family gets lots of contributions, and isn't frozen by petty bureaucracy.
you disgust me, using this as an opportunity to post pictures of yourself, especially after ISD told you not to. |

Sad day in EVE, I would like to see a perment ingame momorial. It could be a generial one to those that die, while alive had a vast impact on the game. I would have an info box on ingame on the momorial showing the names. How to chose who goes on the box is simple. Have the isk rasied by the players 100 billion get a players ingame name added. Thats equil 3500 dollars, should cover any programing costs. |

My sympathies to his friends in family.
I blame obama's weak foreign policy for this. First our troops in Afghanistan are being gunned down by the people they are training and now this. Since this was the anniversary of 9-11 and he had been blowing up a lot of people with drones, maybe our president should have beefed up security instead of believing in catchy slogans and giving empty speeches.
BTW, to those making comments against religion, please don't stereotype us all with that bigoted, narrow-minded, hate speech. When worked up, people will kill for anything, religion or no. It's the dark side of humanity to which atheists are just as prone to falling into as the rest of us. Why FF7 not being remade right now is good |

RIP Vile Rat. I didn't know you personally, but I knew of you and all of your accomplishments and contributions to this amazing game. I hope the community can further extend our outpouring of love to you and yours in some kind of financial manner if (re: when) an official donation fund is created. I have faith this community will see your family through any future financial hardships; if there is one "rule" you learn in EVE, it is to take care of your own, and Vile Rat is most definitely one of ours.

Paddlefoot Aeon wrote:I am a rugby player... an odd breed of man that would happily punch an opponent one second, and laugh about the whole thing over pints and strippers later on.
Over my many years in EVE, I have learned to truly dislike Goons. I have left alliances and corps because they were going into alliances with Goons, and happily shot any Goon on site. The only good Goon is a podded Goon. (would you like to know more...?)
But this is a game.... and while I don't like the way the Goons choose to play it, I would happily buy a Goonie a pint and sit down to discuss and obsess over the game we both love.
RIP Vile Rat..... the game just won't be the same.
Well said.
Share the opinion of goons, but its all game we all share a love for. As I have also been involved with what happens there, and have bento some terrible places. Wishes with family at times like this who will have to live with it long after eve gone.
Sorry for your loss goons, what what I read he was not only a genuinely nice fellas in RL but also in game

All trolling ,differences, standings, ingame beef aside, it is extremely devastating to lose a friend and a fellow gamer. For the most part no one wants to actually see harm done To opposing players in real life. As human beings we understand the general feeling of a loss , but will never understand the feeling of a personal loss of another. Some of us knew Sean personally and some of us knew of him, but nonetheless less it hits close to home as we are all part of one community and should show our support and love. I know I speak for the entire Eve Online community when I say Sean you are missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_FJBdQUAO4 |

Respect. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Good so many remember him, almost missed this, expecting to hear more of it in coad.
I will recap my small experience of him, knowing him as vile rat .
I won't claim to be a close friend, but my life was touched by this person. We played this same massive game filled with politics and war, similar but very different to the real world. He put his life on the line for his country, my country, at the forefront of danger, and now he is gone.
He knew me as that guy who lasted a week and was trolled out of goonswarm, and remind others as well just about every time him and I were in the same spot, along with other barbs. I believe we also argued on politics as well on the something awful forums, which helped fuel the flames. I sent him a angry evemail when blackmark was reset. Of all the people in goonswarm who know about me, I cannot think of any who held a higher rank, and hated my character as much as him. When talking with others about my eve experience, and making decisions of where I should go next with my friends I mention that the second in command in goonswarm, vile rat hates my guts, and the first in command, the mittani personally ordered me to be awoxed destroying my battleship and pod. Petty, funny, silly stuff, the spaceship adventures.
Never knew the fully who he was until he died.
Vilerat, a real America hero. |

Some sort of memorial or statue sounds like a wonderful gesture given the circumstances. It's one thing to die a natural death, but for Sean to end his life the way he did... That truly saddens me.
I'll be signing the petition, and so should others do.

Hey guys, lots going on for VR. No where did I read of any memorial service planned in game. I would like to propose this:
If you would like to show tribute and respects, please join us online Saturday Sept 15th 2012 in major market hubs Amarr and Jita.
There we will be honoring his memory by a fiery display on the memorial statues at the hubs.
We need your help to spread the message as well, let everyone you know to pass the word.

May his family and friends in Eve and life find solace and peace knowing that he was a great father friend and countryman. I commend him on his bravery and service to the United States of America. Men Like him make this country the best it can be Proud and Free ........ And may the people who commited this act of senseless violence meet swift justice. |

R.I.P. VR as an American as well as an EVE online player I am truly saddened by his murder, like so many who serve our country in dangerous areas of the world, he was trying to make our world a better place.
My prayers go to his family, I hope that playing this game helped him tolerate the real life dangerous assignments he undertook on behalf of all of us his fellow citizens, this loss of a fellow gameplayer and fellow citizen is deeply impactful.
EVE brings us all together from all over the world, i'm glad VR was in both of the universes I inhabit, the one I was born into and the one i choose to subscribe to, he will be missed but never forgotten in both of them.

When hearing of this tragic news I can think of only one thing.. wishing I'd gotten to know you more.
You not only changed the lives of most eve online players but a huge portion of your fellow Americans and Nato Allies not to mention all the others around this world your work has directly effected.
Just remember that all your achievements and successes will NOT be forgotten. Both within EVE and in RL.
the world is in debt to you for your contribution to the human race.
I know that in some fashion your work saved thousands through out your career.

Btw, in case some are wondering why he and the other state dept officials were caught behind while the rest were able to get out in time:
http://disqus.com/guest/fae1f49cd55349322f57d30ae39b8cda/
I can confirm that statement above is correct from my work, and that Sean literally died in service to his country to destroy sensitive information to prevent the possibility of said secret information falling into enemy hands that could (and would) result in the deaths of others.
He died because he put duty and the service of the nation first before his own personal safety.
It's not much consolation because it will never fill the void, but goddamn it, he was a genuine hero. |

Put his life on the line to save countless other lives from sharing his fate. I salute you with honor Sean even though i never had any blue on blue kills or really had the chance to get to know you better. You seemed like a good man and i can see that from your actions. Rest in peace Sean for you have made the ultimate sacrifice. And as always fly safe and fly dangerous in the afterlife o7 |

The contact I had with VR was rather fleeting but we had a great little chat many moons ago where I found him extremely intelligent, articulate and rather funny.
He will be sorely missed and was a valuable member of the eve community!
The Final Stand gaming org. sends our condolences out to his family and friends irl and ingame. We too have members under fire and on the line and we are fully aware of just how scarey it can be on the other end of the coms when the thunder rolls out and your meight drops......:(

I never new the man personally. I never flew with the man. It has taken me all of yesterday and today to read-through his Eve career, what he did and accomplished. It strikes me as odd that anyone would have the temerity to say "so what?". I tell you that you obvioulsy have not read how much he has contributed to and affected this game in so many positive ways.
Respect by proxy.
He was an honourable man in life, he died in the service of his country. My humble commiserations go out to his Wife and children and to all of his close friends and colleagues. May he never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace, Vile Rat.

Never got to know you in the game; but you shared my passion for Eve Online.
You helped lead the alliance we all love to hate.
You will be missed as a Gamer and as a Man.
Your death has brought the reality of the struggle and pain that exists in the world today; a struggle which feels all too alien for the vast majority of westerners, into something we can all feel and relate too. Made it kind of tangible. (not sure how to explain what i mean; i hope you understand)

R.I.P Vile, It bothers to lose any Eve brother. It's get me furious to learn how and why he died, a man with a family and kids who had nothing to do with that damn film. A STUPID ******* FILM. We all have seen films disrespecting many ideals in all religions, but that does not jusitfy murder, vandalism, and chaos. I hope one day we as "Humans" can grow the **** up.
Your name will truly be remembered by all in and out of game. We "Eve Gamers" will make sure your name is not forgotten ANYWHERE.

I hope now that Goons understand what real "jihad" crap is all about and how unfunny it is and that it has no place in game.
That said, if there is anyone out there that want's to go hunting IRL and is paying a wage to do it, next stop Tripoli, then Benghazi.

Couple of months ago at the FanFest some guy called The Mittani encouraged a man to commit suicide.
Now suddenly he becomes a human being, mourning his friend's death. Has this sad event opened your eyes ? I don't think so. But maybe now you feel as bad as the guy you were mocking back then. Life's a bitc*h, ain't it ?

Thats for that!

I had a few mails and one long conversation with Vile late last year. He had posted a thread about highsec improvements as part of his CSM work and I spun off a proposal based on it. He didn't know me, the proposal didn't affect him as a nullsec resident, but he took the time to open a chat with me to go into some detail about the proposal. We typed back and forth for a couple of hours about the idea and its mechanics, life as a CSM, life as a Goon diplo, and whatever else came up. He struck me as an extremely well-spoken and straightforward person who cared a great deal about this terrible game and the people who play it. It opened up my thinking about nullsec life, Goon culture, and generally lifted a bit of the dark pessimism we all color our fellow players with, if only as a survival tactic.
I didn't think much about it at the time, but thanks largely to this interaction I began exploring more of the game. Vile's conversation was the tipping point that kept me from unsubbing in boredom after another few months and meeting a bunch of great people I would have otherwise never encountered.
We exchanged a few more mails about the proposal and how things were going in the CSM. I looked forward to the mail where he would tell me that the proposal was in development.
Strangely I still do.

RIP V R.
My thoughts and sympathies go out to his family.
I never had a clue who V R was or what he did in game or the real world. now that i done alot of reading about his work in game and the real world i can truly say he will be missed.
At first i was like why are these people so worked up over a man in game then i did alot and i mean alot of reading and learned a little bit about the man everyone calls V R and iam shocked to say this but iam sorry i never to got talk to this man.
He died working for my county and he did his best to make the real world and eve online a better place for all of us.
Sry i never got to talk to you V R i think i would have learned alot from you r.i.p and my best wishs for your Family. |

I know Vile Rat's name from some well written posts I had read during the last two CSM elections. It's very sad to hear and read more about the real human behind the avatar who wrote those posts and who shared the same passion for the game with me by such a terrible event. Virtual spaceships are the better religion. My best wishes are for his wife and children. |

my thoughts go out to his family and friends, if i could be half the diplomat he was i'd be very happy , some one to really look up to.

Just read his chars bio,
" Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds."

didn't know the guy and i'll not miss him... However, honestly my thoughts are very much with his family, being a father myself I can only slightly understand how dreadful things must be for his wife and kids. I have seen a lot RIP Vile Rat, not from me, would seem some how odd for me to say it as i never knew the guy. I certainly don't morn the hundreds of my country men who have died doing similar things. That being said, if I might make a couple of comments, would be awesome if we as a community could make something positive happen. I have seen ppl asking for a monument to be erected, 100% behind this and I think a fund rasier is a great idea. Not sure if a PLEX is a good idea, as that would only make ISK that could not help at this time, however I seem to remember there is already a pay pal accoount open for real cash deposits. It would not hurt for CCP to refund his subscriptions... for the time he has been playing, frankly.. shame on them if they don't, this is guy who help mold eve and has given a lot his time to benefit us and ccp. Edd My thoughts are with you Mrs Rat and the baby Rats |

I never knew you Vile Rat, we never met or spoke or anything like that. You lived at the other side of the globe, spoke a totally different language than mine. You were so far away and yet there is this one game that bound us: EvE online. It sheds a light on our common interests as gamers, which in turn unsettles me greatly since unreasonable hate is never far away.
My heart goes out to those who have to mourn. May they find the strength to get through these hard times. An endeless journey has started for you now fellow eve player, I wish you can find your place amongst the stars.
RIP Sean Smith |

I did not know the Vile Rat. I did not even know his name. But I knew he was out there, somewhere. He had to be out there - Goons were too consistently successful, to frequently did alliances turn and chance roll to GoonSwarm's favor - SOMEWHERE out there there was a briliant diplomat, an operative of persuasive skills and experience. Someone the Goons could trust implicitly, someone that competing alliances would also trust - or at least listen to.
It was obvious - any experienced and thoughtful observer could see there was an invisible hand out there, re-aranging the table, tilting the odds, plucking at strings. It couldn't be the Mittani - He is too high-profile. It had to be someone close to the Mittani, though.
Now I know more about him than I know of almost any other player, and I discover my loss at not investigating sooner.

I listen to talk radio and slowly but surely they're mentioning Sean more and more by his name and that he had regular conversations with an 'online gaming community'. Even going so far as to quote his sentence about the 'police' officer. Keep it up. Giving a story and a face to a victim can bring about a lot of positive attention. As opposed to Michael Savage who 'knows his type as some one in the peace corp.'
Again rip Sean. This unfortunate event could be the catalyst for radical change. |

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. because Vile rat was someone having this in his Bio

Just goes to show how no matter what one does in RL, this game has you hooked.

Mine and my families deepest sympathy to his family, at this time.

RIP Sean Smith "Vile Rat"
As I have never seen and or been confronted this Man in all my years in EVE, I can asure you he was no doubt a force to be reconed with. I have had the privaledge over my 22 years of US Naval service to meet and work with many of those with Sean's background. They were good people who were on a mission to protect the USA and its beliefs to the end. A man who did so without even a secound thought. God Bless him for giving all and may we all know that we were in the presence of a Hero who just accepted his role in life as nothing other than normal.
"I wish to have no Connection with any Ship that does not Sail fast for I intend to go in harm's way."

"Copy / paste my post from UK forums"
Yes, I find it really sad for his wife, children and the EVE community. As a father, husband, ex military and EVE player its hard not to feel a connection with him. Having been with EVE since 03, I have known a few people that have passed away (one UK member that had a blog detailing his last few months in hospital) and its always sad.
To me, its strange that the people that leave us seem the strongest. Its those people that get on a PC for a few minutes per day to spend time with us on his final days (then to have his family finish the blog), or the one that has had so much influence on the game we share, just to have him ripped away from us on the "world stage."
While having never spoken to him directly, I do remember hearing his name mentioned many times on TS during my time with BOB in 2007/08.
It also makes me very proud to be part of EVE when you see such support from our game community. While I try to have fun at home, there is others that try to have fun with us, from very hostile places.
It is a shame that this good man, father was taken away, and he will be missed. |

Yea well maybe Goonswarm members in this thread shouldn't disrespect my religious beliefs. All you have to do is look on youtube and see how many "jihadswarm" videos there are.
In the name of Islam I will be the bigger man and wish my condolences to Vile Rat and his loved ones. However I will not silently accept the discrimination of my fellow Muslims. The death of a member of this community isn't something to be taken lightly, but his alliance has an Ironic history of offensively mocking Islam.

Ethereal Dawn owes vile rat a deep debt, Without him ED simply wouldn't exist and several of the outposts in ER have been renamed in tribute to him. Eve is def poorer for the loss of vile rat and his family has my deepest sympathies.
One thing would suggest CCP and the devs consider doing is turn his avatar into a perm npc within eve as a tribute to him, maybe as a new head of one of the pirate factions? or even head of a new faction within eve.

I really think this is just another Goons scam. Here is why:
1. It recently came to my attention that goons are now asking for money after the publicly alleged posted events surrounding Vile Rat under the guise of a "charity". Goons are well known for getting people emotional and then taking their money, so how can we trust that is not the case here?
2. Single source of information. When you look at the history, you find that every single one of of the websites that claim Vile Rat was in fact the person who died all got their information originally from a Goons Leadership run website. We have yet to get any confirmation from anybody not affiliated with goons that this is the case and the state department has yet to confirm ANY link between Eve an the people who lost their lives. But because goon leadership says so, its true? No, it doesnt add up.
3. The goons are milking this. Their recruitment numbers are up according to sites that track this data, and in fact goons have really profited from the news greatly both in members and isk made, so if somebody did die, they are currently taking advantage of it. This can easily be confirmed using sites that track corporation and alliance member counts and events.
4. Its well known that Vile Rat was a very good spy. Goon leadership even confirmed this publicly. It looks logical that a good spy should be able to go to ground easily, and its even easier to stay out of sight on an MMO. It would not be hard for him to have his "wife" to take over the accounts, or even to shut them down for dramatic effect using a lawyers note, in order to fool CCP or the greater community. A letter from a lawyer is cheap compared to the lolz, and if he was that good this is nothing to him.
This seems more and more like a goon scam every day, and that angers me. Yes tthis is eve and scams and lies are the norm, but there is a line and goons are crossing it by disrespecting the memory of real people.

This dude was working for the State Dept, in Lybia, a thriving country formerly run by the only panafrican leader alive at the time; our western countries destroyed this country's infrastructures and set back subsaharian economies' independence (Gaddafi funded a lot of stuff in black Africa, where he is a hero for most people, he also wanted a independant african bank).
I have absolutely zero respect for someone who endorses this kind of realpolitik through his work. He deserves no eulogy and certainly not to rest in peace. |

Hi Vile Rat,
I was in this bomber and by mistake I pressed F1 (several times) and killed 10 blues. Later I was flying an Assault ship and my overview was buggy and I think I killed another 15 blues by mistake. Im so so sorry!

After thinking about it a lot, it's occurred to me that despite all the pain and sorrow surrounding Sean "Vile Rat" Smith's death, there may be something positive to come out of it.
Through the EVE Online community's collective mourning and tributes following the death we have drawn the attention of the internet and mainstream press, bringing a human element to the tragedy in Libya. In doing so we've unintentionally made ourselves a powerful statement against the stereotypical image of the gamer being the jobless, friendless, basement dwelling outcast.
In our legitimate sorrow for the loss of our friend we've shown the world that gamers are anything but the stereotype, behind the online avatar is a real person, with real feelings and, even though many of us are literally a world away from each other, real relationships.
As someone who has struggled most of their life to be socially accepted simply because of my interests and personality being different from the mainstream, the events of the last few days, while filled with grief and sadness, have made me and likely many others feel damn proud to be a gamer.
While I've never really felt the need to justify who I am and what I do with my life, the passing of Vile Rat has shed much-needed light on the power of games and technology generally to bring people together in deep and meaningful ways and in that sense this sad loss of life has done something other than take away a much loved, much respected member of the EVE Online community.
R.I.P Vile Rat, you will be missed. Follow me on Twitter! @Liara_EVE |

Let me start by telling you - I didn't know Sean Smith, or Vile Rat. I certainly knew of him, and knew the influence he had on this game. I can sense the power of his presence in the posts, the tributes and the response that has gone out so far. It is palpable and real - and touching beyond measure. He was clearly a hero - and I don't mean just the goon sort, but a real life, bonafide, American Hero. And as cliche and unpopular as it may be these days to be called so - it was true of Sean Smith as far as I can tell.
I do not often post on these forums at all - and yet now here I am, drawn to make some comment on this gentleman I never met. That fact alone is hard to explain. Why do I feel the need to say goodbye, in some fitting manner and to draw some respectful conclusions about the senseless loss of a man I never knew personally? He represented a great deal to us - as Americans and EVE players both. But I do not want to be so flippant, as proper as it may be in some respects, to turn him into some sort of "symbol" because he - like all men - deserves much more.
Then, as I looked at my son this evening, falling asleep on my lap - it started to make sense. Or perhaps it is more proper to say that the senseless became more apparent to me. The fathers who read this will understand me perhaps a little more intimately, and no I do not mean to belittle the mothers or childless among us. But I am a father and so that is the perspective from which I speak. The fact is that fathers are the protectors of their children - society and nature have ordained it so. And while we do not often speak of it, it is an expecation that each of us (or at least those of us worth our salt) are constantly and intimately aware of - it is an expectation that connects us.
There is such a wild mix of emotions that tears though any us (fathers) when we learn that someone else's child has been made fatherless. That emotion can only be magnified and deepened when it happens in such a high profile and senseless way, to a man who was in all ways possible - a hero. There is no greater fear, for any father, than the tragedy that has befallen Sean's family. We fear not our own mortality - but the loss our children must suffer - and the fact that they must go on without us to look over them and protect them. My prayers go out to his family, and to his children especially. All I can say is that they've inherited a whole virtual realm of would be protectors - and while it pales in comparison to what they've lost - it is the best we can do right now. None of us will ever forget Sean and his family, I am sure.
It is odd this little universe of 'internet spaceships' we all fly in. It can be so easy at times, to forget there is a real person behind the avatar. A person with a job, a family, with hopes and dreams that hopefully go well beyond the next epic fight or that Titan we've been hoping to buy. A person who's real life responsibilities make 'playing a game' seem a rather childish affair. How the world changes for us when we learn about the people behind those pixels. I myself have marvelled about how differently I get treated (and the bizarre questions I get asked) when people learn what it is I do in "real life" as an Emergency Medicine Physician. It says a lot about EVE mind you that it draws people - people who would otherwise not spend anywhere near as much time as we do playing games - to it in such a powerful way.
The glimpses we get behind the screen - into the triumphs and tragedies of people's real lives are one of the things that I think makes eve truly special. This is particualrly true when it comes to the military men and women we have in our electronic families. EVE in particular seems to have a sizable contingent of current and former military folks - and it is not uncommon for a corporation of any reasonable size to have at least one or two members off in harms way somewhere at any given time. It is easy to compartmentalize and forget the danger they are in, but Sean's death reminds us that it is not to be taken lightly.
And more than that - it reminds us that we are all, above all else, people. Those of us who go to fanfest and share drink with our 'enemies' understand this well, as do many others in the game. We understand that despite the personas we project and the gamestyle we adopt - that real life people - good people - are behind those pixels. Not all of us understand that - but maybe now they will start to. So let us take that one lesson from this and grow together as a community. It is just one of many ways we can honor Sean's memory.
I've read the CSM tribute - and I love it - I've read it three times already. But I cannot help but notice they felt the need to respond to the perception of "goons as bad guys". They knew Sean - I did not - so I defer to them on their choice. But let's be clear. Right now - this isn't about goons, or internet spaceship badguys. It's about a man named Sean - a father and a husband who loved his family, his friends, and his country. And also a man who apparently loved this game called EVE and the people who played it. We are blessed to have been so honored. A man who was in every way possible, by all measures possible - one of the 'good guys'.

As a father, my grief for Sean and his family is acute. The senselessness of this type of violence is what really gets me.
Libya, I understand has a lot of history which precipitates this sort of senseless violence. I'm sure most of them grew up with the machine of brainwashing hard at work, where the West is demonized, and blamed for their perceived ills. This situation is taken to the extreme with the form of religion practiced. All religious extremism leads to situations where people are too quick to condemn others who do not believe as they do. I think it's perhaps the single largest challenge facing the human race in fact. Their extremism, which in this case translated to killing anyone who is from the same part of the world as the offending movie maker, lacks even any semblance of justice. By their own religion, this sort of behavior should not happen. The result is: other religious extremists, from different religions, now have a rallying cry to demonize all of them. This situation will allow & enable them to take violent actions, using similar logic. Ad infinitum.
So the situation will go full circle, built upon the actions of a crazy minority, which eventually increases violence on all sides.
I know many good Muslims, good Christians, good Hindus, good Buddhists, good "X" who abhor this form of extremism.
Please, everyone, do what you can to make all extremists see this fatal flaw in their logic. In 'their' world view, the circle of violence expands until they are dead. Sane people prefer not to be involved in this crazy circle.
(To bring this full circle (and add extra context to our younger readers)): Don't let yourself be TROLLED!

The moment you accept and uphold the extremist view point of any religion is the point you stop listening to the ideals and tenements and message of your faith, to quote a wise man "good done in the name of evil is still good, evil done in the name of good is still evil" There is no place in any religion for extremists EVER, and the whole religion should NEVER be judged by the actions of a minority regardless of what faith it is, or what ever your own personal beliefs are.
what happened to sean was sensless and a example of "evil done in the name of good is still evil".

I still don't understand why you all mourn a former mercenary (that's what soldier fighting conquest wars are) who was upholding western hegemony in a formerly thriving counrtry laid to waste by our unending appetites, and transformed into a salafist/wahabist hellhole with our agreement, since radical islam goes well with capitalism.
Vilerat isn't dead, he's a pod pilot, he has clones. As for the person who was playing him, it's really sad and pathetic that you all come and grovel and pretend to be sensible beings, when said person was obviously the most insensible of folks, given the trade he was in.
Grow a spine and a brain. And for the mod who will probably delete this message, how do you enjoy sucking up to this portion of the playerbase that can't get enough of super macho imperialism and tough guy soldier honor bullshit, that is, western propaganda?

I think we mostly like "real" posts in this forum, not imaginary ones. Maybe next time work on being more real, or having real things to express.
I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

I still don't understand why you all mourn a former mercenary (that's what soldier fighting conquest wars are) who was upholding western hegemony in a formerly thriving counrtry laid to waste by our unending appetites, and transformed into a salafist/wahabist hellhole with our agreement, since radical islam goes well with capitalism.
Vilerat isn't dead, he's a pod pilot, he has clones. As for the person who was playing him, it's really sad and pathetic that you all come and grovel and pretend to be sensible beings, when said person was obviously the most insensible of folks, given the trade he was in.
Grow a spine and a brain. And for the mod who will probably delete this message, how do you enjoy sucking up to this portion of the playerbase that can't get enough of super macho imperialism and tough guy soldier honor bullshit, that is, western propaganda? I don't see that your country got back on its feet by being subservient to europe or usa. |

RIP Villy.. GÖÑ
I had many long talks with Vile Rat in my time as a "diplomat", this was before "Rooks and Kings" when I was in "DreamCatchers Inc and Talionis Alliance" 2007 and some time after that... He was really a genuine nice guy.. and he told me a lot of times that he had to hide under his desk, because of gunshots towards his building. In the beginning I didn't think it was true.. Now I wish it wasn't true.. and that he was safe in his work. Guess his desktop couldn't save him this time :(( This is so sad news!
My heart goes out to his wife, family and friends. |

surprising that CCP are setting this sort of precedent... how many people who play eve have died? how many from the current military deployments? from different countries armed forces? will they do this for all of them? just those that mitanni know IRL? just those who are active in game? that is some serious resources they are putting into this precedent, because the majority of my friends and people i know in game are in one armed forces or another. If god forbid anything were to happen to them then i expect CCP's help to raise $60k to help their families too... if anything did happen and CCP didn't give this amount of coverage maybe that would show their true colours?
I know several people that have died in the past through unfortunate circumstances and have not received this sort of attention. One or two that were at least as socially active as Vile Rat. Wonder why they have chosen this instance?
I am glad they are giving this coverage and its right that this game becomes a part of who you are and that is the best way to remember someone who passes. Every little helps and my thoughts are genuinly with Seans family.
Please don't let me down play this in anyway as that is not my attention. The guy was a legend... seriously a nice guy and this thread and the several facebook EVE-Online threads and everything that has been done in memorial is testament to that.
legends never die.

This isn't CCP doing it. This is Goons and SA doing all the stuff. CCP is just letting it happen which is totaly cool with me. Mittens has a way of spreading news and getting **** done that he wants to be done and this is an example of that. It isn't CCP putting out the news stories, gathering the money, etc. At most they sent out one message on Facebook linking to the donation site set up by Something Awful for VR's family. I am sure they would do it for you too if such a thing were to happen.

Agreed.
As the son of a man who served his nation for 36 long years, from the Falklands to the Gulf and many places in between, I can only offer my heartfelt condolences to VR's family and friends.
I never met him, but even one lost in such a way is too many, RIP.

Yeah i suppose. I guess this is the first time. Fair bit of news, FB, twitter coverage... but i suppose reporting the news isn't "doing" the news.
I remember Evil Pookie and there was a fair bit of news about him too. |

Served his nation, or served the military-industrial complex vampirizing the taxpayers' money through unending wars? Even your old man can be wrong.
As for Vile Rat, this dude was upholding western greed in a country that was thriving, and a beacon of hope for subsaharian ones (gold dinar, telecom sat) until we bombed it back into the stone age.
Does this kind of fellow deserve a show of love? |

VR was a Diplomat, he did not have a gun, he could not defend himself, he relied on the guards of the consulate, and the protection of the host nation.
Those who lose their lives as war fighters (as my father was I might add...), accept those risks, and to be frank it is part of their job.
It takes a special kind of courage to meet bullets with words. I dont have that courage, he did, he lost his life doing so. This is nothing about CCP, or the Goons, or the Mittani, but about a brave man, who died.
And as this thread has proven, a man who will be missed.
CCP, Goons, the Mittani, its irrelevant, its about a man who has lost his life, and about this community trying in some way to support those left behind, especially his wife and children. At the end of the day none of us will mourn as much as they, so please, bringing up previous cases is not good. If you have a beef, take it elsewhere... but here at least, have some respect not only for the dead, but those who are left behind.

Do you think an ex-commando stationed in ultra hot spots such as Irak or Libya, i.e., countries that we royally frack up and in which we fund and organize terrorism to have an ongoing pretext for intervention and meddling, does not carry a gun?
Many EvE players have died. Why does this one deserve such a grandiose show of sorrowful mourners? He was a mercenary for private western interests, which use the USA as a weapons platform. He wasn't a clueless 18yr old private, he knew exactly what he was doing.
The double standard is plain, when we can't say he deserves no eulogy because his trade was despicable, and when it's allowed to say "omg what a tragedy he gave his life for his country", which is just as political a statement, yet a deeply flawed one. He was serving the military-industrial complex, and was lynched by the very same people our western governments train in terrorism by proxy through Saudi Arabia.
This is all quite sad. Get a clue. |

The only embarrassment I witness is part of a playerbase going on in a circleweep over a person whose trade was downright evil.
Have you raised funds for this kid who died from cerebral palsy a few years ago, and was a disabled EvE player?
Do you think the family of an ex-commando doing "diplomatic" work for the State Dept. (i.e. undercover shady jobs in a country that we have to keep in a state of constant unrest in order to justify ongoing intervention) needs a few dozen ks $? between his life savings and the pension, I think they won't be in need anytime soon.
Goons and people with a hardon for imperialistic tough guy spy fantasies and proud soldier macho bullcrap can of course raise funds all they want to pretend being the good guys in their paradigm, but the place to do it is Out of Pod experience, not General Discussion. |

Denying people this is like denying them the freedom that everyone in the world deserves...
I don't do deleting threads because i like to see how they progress, whatever the context.
It's how he lived and I'd imagine it's how he'd want to remembered. Lets not bring politics into this, it really does show people insecurities.

Genuinely gutted to hear that. Vily was a good sparring partner, and one of those big personalities that make people think stuff or feel stuff, make games transcend pixels.
Gutted that I never got to do one of my interviews with him. Big loss to the game.

Thanks to Andski for re-posting the link to the donation page. Between us and SomethinAwful we are almost at the $100.000 mark.
I'm so proud to be part of this community, and I'm sure Sean would be proud of us too. My thoughts go to his wife Heather and their two children.

It was with great sadness that I read of Viles departure. However, it is also a fact that he did something amazing with his life and what he did ingame was beyond compare, what he did in RL is even more honor filled and proper. My wife and I send our deepest sympathies to Seans' family and loved ones.
I would say the response from the EvE community is surprising, but it is not, it is exactly what I have come to expect... surely as there are scammers in Jita, the very same would send a PLEX in a heartbeat to support a cause.
The Templar salute Vile Rat.
His name shall be entered on our roles. In each Templar call he will be spoken for, so as to maintain the presence and memory of a true man of honor. We steal no glory by this, it is a salute to a man I am proud to call my "countryman". As an American I am proud of his service and sacrifice, by Vile, and ALL others who serve.
To all active, and former servicemen/women... Thank you! Thank you! God bless you, and protect you and yours.

People who would like to stifle Free Speech are the very ones responsible for Vile Rat's death. As a moderator, who enjoy's stifling this inalienable human right so much that you do it as a job, do you see the irony of doing it in this thread? Do you see the parallel between Muslim extremists reacting to a video and your reaction within this thread?

Freedom of Speech is the right to express yourself without interference from the Government. When a private company sets up a soap box, they have the right to express themselves by limiting the forms of expression they want their name attached to.
Nobody argues that the Westboro Baptist Church doesn't have the right to picket funerals and memorial services, but the number of groups who have set themselves up to wall them off from the funerals show exactly how much esteem people hold the WBC in. Also, nobody argues with the fact that the WBC can't set up on the private property that the funeral is being held on.
The people trying to derail this thread with inflammatory rhetoric are the WBC. CCP is the owner of the private property. You're free to spout your shit anywhere you want, so long as it's not on CCP's property. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

You are the one being disrespectful by removing my post that was kindly asking for this to be moved to OOPE (where it belongs) so that it does not break my immersion.
I reported you also. |

Edit: For those asking about closing this thread or moving it; it has been placed here by the CCP Community manager who has requested that it be kept open. It is neither my place nor inclination to go against his decision in this matter. If you wish to raise that, then the correct method is to raise a petition using the Other -> Community category. In the mean time, I will continue to enforce this thread as CCP have instructed.

While this thread has not been active for some days I feel that I must still post my condolences.
As someone who has seen far too much death in this world while in Afghanistan, I always feel immense sympathy for the families of those killed in today's conflicts. My condolences and respect to the family of this fallen individual. I hope that they're able to find peace one day.
