Brian Bisson aka Neuromancer, Creator=Mechwarrior Leagues.
Man what a loss for his friends and this game.
I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong but I seem to recall at its height the league had 80 some units playing?
He would never join a unit at his own MWL just because that is how he was.
He thought it may look bad.

I remember getting the call from Stone and then Knightwing when Joe passed. A very sad day for his friends and for the community as a whole. He will be ever missed.

Thank you Deathwalker. <S>

He is the one I couldn't remember but remember hearing about his passing through Jeho2K at MekTek.

I have played this game ever since the table top game and all the incarnations on the PC, while i have not had the pleasure of meeting such fine and outstanding folks who have passed from this mortal coil, I do look forward to meeting the rest of you and making lasting memories in this reborn community. <S> the fallen, may we be remembered as they were.

If I may, I would like to add one more to the list. Blake "Hell Fist" Cripe, a lance leader under my command, and my closest friend since kindergarten, committed suicide, not three days ago. He already has a thread that I made for him, and he was set to join up, when the game came out. I found out of death, the night before we were getting ready for our first basketball game, in sub-state, and it wasn't from somebody telling me. I overheard my teammate talk about somebody had shot them self, when I asked who, the locker room was dead silent. No one could even look me in the eye. Needless to say, I didn't play that game, and I couldn't drive myself home. May God rest his soul.

You might recognize the name, from the recent Bonus story from ISN, that was a homage that Garth made for me to honor him. He was a damn good pilot, and the best friend anybody could ask for.

Some things should never be forgotten. This thread is one of them. It was a great inspiration and place to show just how tight the Battletech players are.

Husband of a friend of mine was killed by an IED today. Ironically.... it was one he was rigging to use against who ever was assaulting his unit. May his mechwarrior prowess live forever.
I only knew him simply by the callsign birdy.

Though I am unfortunately far too new to this community to know any of the named I still find it wonderful that they are being remembered by their friends, comrades and enemies.

S!

Why was the sticky removed and not readded? The community WANTS this stickied. Is this how we can expected to be treated as customers here with something so solemn as this request to have this stickied?

Some mod will probably do it.

Also, I feel sorry for Deathwalker. Always a bad way to know your friend passed off...

[Omdra]

In silent sorrow and remembrance of our families and friends that passed away.

May we meet again one day!

We spent many upon many late nights fighting on the Zone (Me, FM Honest, FM Hardcase, FM Yeolis, FM Reaver, FM VividDrifter) I was Eastern Time, Yeolis & Vivid live in Minnesota so they were like 2 hours behind me, Reaver was European, and Honest and Hardcase were both from New Zealand (roommates) I worked late at the time and so when I would get off work these guys were just getting on or had only been online for a little bit so naturally we winged each other for many upon many battles.

Honest was light hearted and a very funny guy he'd said "Ello Onnie how's ye bum fo wots?" and I'd just laugh not knowing what the hell he was saying. He'd also let me take over the pre-game chatting and he'd be like "Git em Onnie ye lil ******" cause I was only 18-20 years old at the time.

Man when I learned of his suicide (he had apparently broke his back and was in lots of pain) and suddenly out of no where he started needing to get off the computer sooner than normal. He would complain of back pain but never told us he actually broke his back. Then one day he stopped coming online. His family was given his computer (him and his wife were separated) and they logged on and told us that he had hung himself unable to bare the pain any longer.

Man I was tore up for quite some time after that. Until that point I always thought of online friends as just some side effect to gaming and that any day I could just turn that switch off. After that I realized that online friends are just as important and influential as real world friends, and that emotions are just as justified.

I miss ya Honest!

Here is a local video for ya

Quoted for truth.

I could not think of a better way of stating that.

What are some of the feelings that one might feel when a friend passes away. When someone that is special to us is gone it can be difficult to continue living life. Things that were special to you may begin to seem pointless when you don't have that special person to share it with. All of the things that you did together are reminders of the loss that you have suffered. Do yourself a favor and take the time to mourn your loss.
