+1 for VFK... also, the inscription should say "Shoot blues -> Tell Vile Rat"

it isnt just to say one person is more important than another. just like Sean, an average player who died is just as important to to a family , friends, or a group just as Sean was to his.

the statue itsself can be a statue of Sean's in game character followed with a short yet memorable description of him followed by a saying something like "here lies those who have passed on " then ensue a list of names

creating a statue for one person only incites jealousy and envy , then youll get people petitiong ccp to create a statue for everyone individually

Then that should show that you should go out and do something with your life. Sean lived a life full of self-sacrifice. He was an Air Force veteran. He was a veteran in the state department. In both capacities that lasted over ten years of his life, he worked to improve life for people all over the globe.

He is more important than the thirty-year-old living in mommy's basement. He is more important than the person who is living his life thinking of only of himself.

If you want to set up a memorial to all he people who play this game and have passed away, then fine. BUT THIS IS NOT FOR THEM. This is a petition to set up a memorial specifically for someone who served a life as a public servant, who put the needs of others before himself. This is for someone who wanted to make the world a better place, and in so doing was killed by extremists who want to do the exact opposite.

You're damn right he's more important than 99% of the people who play this game. He did something with his life. He came home and did all of that in-game. But yet you'll pull this BS of "it'll cause envy amongst the players!" Good. Get off your lazy ass and do something meaningful.

Stop it, now, with all these, "We need to have a memorial to commemorate all the people who have died who play this game!" You are not noteworthy. This man was, and should have our respect.

-No

firstly, I can see why people who knew him are attached to the idea of setting something like a virtual gravestone, and his friends and family have my condolence.
That said, ones out of game jobs/ hobbies etc. should have no such impact within the game. If his RL activities are memorable, no one is stopping us from, well, remembering and honoring them, in RL and in chats etc..
But to be unbiased, CCP would have to do so for everyone who does stuff in RL that is regarded as a social or ethical good thing.
I am sure you agree, that it would be hard to comprehend a list of stuff that warrants such ingame memorials.
Without knowing what exactly he did in the military or the diplomatic corps, not everyone might agree on the evaluation of that.
If he was a reknown CSM member, they will decide on their actions by themself, if they feel so.

That aside, the idea of a structure with an infotext for players who died, sounds sensible. Although, I fear lots of made up names are likely to appear, forcing CCP to shut it down soon after errecting it.

A memorial for Vile Rat is both appropriate and necessary.

I love how the "NO OMG HE'S NOT WORTH IT" crowd finally found it's balls when they thought the whole thing had passed...
