I've never played EVE online, but played one battle on here with Vile Rat ( he promptly handed my arse to me on a platter with a beautiful head shot from a jenner). R.I.P mate and condolences to his family and friends. The gaming community as a whole has lost one of it's best members.

[Telecleez]

RIP Vile rat (Sean) . I didn't have the pleasure of going against you in EVE or MWO, but you will be sorely missed.

[Syric Malvayis]

Ugh...after reading those links .....I'm just ....ughh...

I am terribly sorry for your loss. *heavy sigh* My regrets and regards to all his family and friends.

UGH!

[Monsoon]

My condolences to everyone who knew and loved him.

[Vactus]

I know for a fact I played against him once here on MWO. However, that was quite some time ago and I don't remember the specifics. So I'll just say Farewell fellow gamer. Farewell to a fellow human trying to do something good for the world in real life.

[Nova]

rest in peace, Sean.

[DNI Sniper]

Sean you will be missed, I will miss the goon squad swarms you helped plan, I will miss your time in EVE.
I'll miss you pal.

Goon Squad forever.

RIP Sean Smith.

There are lots of Sean's friends that might read this post and get a better understanding of what he was up against in his station in Benghazi.

Hopefully this answers some questions some people have about how things went down.

[ChaosGrinder]

As an eve-player myself, i shall salute to him and what he did.

[PaintedWolf]

Somehow, it feels like he has been brought back to life in a way.

"When Sean 'Vile Rat' Smith was killed in the attack on U.S. Consulate in Libya, the EVE Online MMO and Something Awful communities banded together to help the family of a fellow gamer. A fundraiser for Sean Smith's family has now passed $100,000."

Only knew the name in Eve, RIP fellow gamer.

[Gremlich Johns]

According to my son who plays EVE, the EVE community has donated more than 200K for Sean's family. That on top of the other charities is a really nice Honor for him.
