Just got back into EVE from a two year break. I am in the military, and This was Awesome. brought me to the verge of tears just thinking about it all the impact we have on eachother. A fellow bother in arms he was and always will be. I can only hope that I will have the opertunity to effect other in both worlds a fraction of the way he did. |

Nah, i was actually scanning through the posts to see and link this as well. Thank you, ccp, for the opportunity of reading this and headlining this on the client. Probably will never see goons the same again; my heart is changed forever. For the living, we remember our dead.

A fellow Canadian said it best...
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

A long time ago I played a text based online game in which almost 7,000 Nerdy McNerdysons like me fought over virtual land. It was great fun. Our alliance of almost 200 players lost a great player and leader to the original September 11th attacks. Our community was strong and prevailed, and I am happy to see the same in the Eve Online community.
Games like Eve Online and the people that play them helped me get over some of the hate in my heart from that original loss. I am glad that MMOs bring people from around the world together where we can have fun and work out our differences without bloodshed. If only more people were exposed to this wonderful thing.
Sean Smith, I do pray that you have reached a wonderful universe with an unlimited supply of Rifters and blues to shoot. |

RIP Vile Rat, I did not know him personally but as a veteran of Iraqi and still under the employment of the US Army my heart and prayers go out to the RL Sean Smith family. As a service member I know what its like to play Eve in far away places. I was stuck on a COP in Mosul and this game is the best escape for those stressful days and nights taking fire. Once again RIP Vile Rat (Sean Smith) |

To Seleene, Mittani and all the CCP staff,
How very proud I am right now to be part of a community with all of you in it. My heart goes to you all at this time, I know how hard it is to lose a friend that was not only part of your eve online family, but one you considered friend irl.
I have posted in the other thread but I remembered this poem and felt that it summed up V.R quite well..
Quote:The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I've made friends in EVE and I've made enemies. But I still consider enemies, my friends and are all part of this great community. I spend a great deal of time in this game, with my disability and being unable to get out much, EVE keeps me sane. I didn't know Vile Rat but I heard of him. This is truely sad news.
People in the world that don't know "gaming" think this stuff is all for kids. They have absolutely no idea. Many of the people in this game are very Hi Tech people in every sense of the word. I've met Doctors, Scientists, Lawyers, Health Care Pros, and many many Active and Retired Military persons. A game full of exceptional individuals. Vile Rat was one of those exceptional people.
Everyone Take Care and live safe...

I heard of the attack separately from the news that one of the victims was Vile Rat.
Continue your great work wherever you may be and rest in piece.

USA threw Libya down in a state of permanent civil war in order to please USA economical interests. Covering those actions up with usual lies about democracy. USA state dept. employee got killed coz of mess happening in Libiya. Mess made by USA.
Everything in its right place... a few human lives is fair price for thousands barrels of oil.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner.
All is well -Henry Scott Holland

Well if Amerika or Israel start a war with Iran, there will be more corpses all over the place, Eve gamers and not. Muslims do kill each other and I guess they don't care much for the Goonswarm JihadSwarm or the Jihadist Hulkageddon. There is no business being in these wars and trying to destabilize the middle east with all these covert ops. Amerika is fascist and they don't care. They call Al-Qaeda Al-CIAeda for a reason. America is funding these scum. |

On the 13th of this month, I took my car into the dealership for it's 22,500 mile maintenance. The service guy in the office noticed my "EvE" sticker on the back of my car and ask if I played. I told him that I in fact did play and proceeded to tell him how incredible the game is. He patiently waited for my rant to end and then asked me if I had heard the news about an Eve player dying in the embassy attack. I was dumbfounded by the question and couldn't believe that it was true.
I rushed home and a quick search confirmed the terrible news. I never knew Sean but his death hurt me as if I had known him for years. He died in a senseless act of violence trying to help a country him and his fellow coworkers loved. He died for his country like the other three men that day and for that I will never forget them. I'm just so sorry I never got the chance to meet him in RL.
Rest well, Sean. You've made us all proud. |

In 7 hours a total of $27,000 has been raised already and this lasts for 72 days I am absolutely staggered at the response. Whoever set the target at $50,000 may want to revise it I think.

I feel that good people should be saluted with respect and cheers when passing away!
For this reasson on the opening ceremony of the EVE-Dust Summerfest i decided to ask from our friends in the theater to give a big hand out to Sean and the theater bursted in applause and shouts and whistles.
We honored him even more by toasting for him during our late night discuissions sitting on the beach next to the pool and under the trees.
Especialy during the best of all nights on suturday when we all sat in a secluded lobby where we went after the bar closed and sat there until 07.00 in the morning while CCP Guard run to his appartment to get Ouzo forcing him to use a plastic bag in a makeshift raincoat (since we had some rain that day) making him look like a Condom advert.
Sean has been mentioned and has been honored.
