No problem Wolf, and I'm sorry again for your loss. This is one of the nicest things I've seen a dev do for someone in the community. PGI won a lot of credit with me for doing something like this.

[guardian wolf]

Ehh... it's alright, not like I can expect everyone to know about it, though, you guys were great, and thanks for your support in that thread.

And yes, many kudos to PGI, I really appreciated Garth's idea, and work, it speaks volumes to me in how much they actually care, not to mention you guys when you got all those posts together, it was a bad day, and thanks to you, it didn't have to be as bad as it probably could have been. May he rest in peace, and I once again, renew my dedication to him, my first year on MWO, is for him, and my first year as a clansmen, is also for him. My Atlas will also be taking his old callsign, as it was one of his favorite mechs.

[Threat Doc]

That sucks. Guardian Wolf, I'm sorry for your loss.

Really cool to write a story about him, though.

Do I see a typo?

And I can now add to the easter egg theories. The Atlas used melee.

Belay = stop

I just further want to commend Garth on taking this on, on his own accord. It shows that he is very much a part of the community heartbeat that pounds so strongly on these forums, whether positive or negative, it's a living entity on its own. We at PGI share in your grief Guardian Wolf to the loss of your friend and one who would probably have fit in here with our community.

To all MechWarriors out there, a communal raising of your glasses would be highly encouraged in hopes to bringing awareness to the issues that befall all in the world in both the virtual and real sense.

Salute Blake Cripe, may you rest in peace.

Well, I should really start reading that Villiam Tell I have to finish by the end of the week, which I found only English version with words like: thee, etc.

*cough* it's a Navy term. *cough*

And yes, to the mighty Hell Fist. *raises glass*

Pshhh. He can survive a hail of LRM's... Hope he has his emergency kit stocked, which seems to be a hula girl and JD whiskey at the moment.

Long live Commander Blake ‘Hell Fist’ Cripes!

[Larry Headrick]

"Heres to you Blake 'Hell Fist' Cripes."

[Czarocz]

This is all well and good, but I want to see game play footage, Load outs and **** blowing up.

[guardian wolf]

I'll join in on this toast, "K'oyayci ner vod, Blake Cripe, you were the best friend a guy could have ever asked for, and may god keep you in heaven, so that you will never suffer again, I do, and will always miss you, Re'turcye mhi, Blake,"

*Raises glass, and downs liquid, as a tears begin to form*

[TimberJon]

Heh. May he be carried to 'Mech heaven where his game client is loaded with all the chassis ever produced or dreamed of. *S*

Welcome to the forums. This post was made to give us some hints at aspects of the game and to pay tribute to a friend who committed suicide. I just ask that you be respectful.

Once again welcome to the forums.

[Burned_Follower]

Cool Story! This story is a perfect example on why melee combat and charging should be part of MWO if possible...because it's awesome! Just once i would love to crush an enemy's cockpit with an Atlas' fist. *evil grin*

And i do agree that this does have a Stackpole feel to it. Very nice!

[EDMW CSN]

So yes, we gonna punch someone ? Excellent.

[acheronlv426]

Well played good sirs, well played.
