Just wanted to add.. in the original Tutorial the character of "coyote" was added by the Devs as a tribute to a player who was in Beta and passed away. He shouldn't be forgotten. One of devs may remember who that was.

That's Matthew "Kiyotee" Bregg. He's on the list.

Angelica Mystic, or DJ Angelica, real name Tracie, was a Dj on Justice Radio way back in 2005, she was a really friendly, helpful and generally great person. She passed away a few months after the game released, she was beloved by many.

Exx, I still need your friend's name.

Ashen, potentially stupid question - server for DJ Angelica was Justice?

Staci was in our SG and Malibu Sally still remains a member.
I have screenshots of her somewhere and 1 or 2 real life pics of Staci.

Her name was @Si and later @Sigh
She was a stalwart of the Pillars of Might on Champion, downed by a disease she couldn't win against. I don't have her real name, Dinah Might would have that info.

When it comes to @Blue Sigma, aka Kid Kinetix, his real name was Konji Harrison. He was only 37 and we in the Paragon University Archaeology Department SG on Infinity server were familiar with him (I see he also played on other servers as well). He was a good man and is still missed to this day.

@Chowder, who also played with his main roon Chowder was Matthew Sowder. I also knew him on Infinity, though I also know he played on Liberty server. He passed away only recently in late July of this year. He was such a good, outgoing person to all and his loss is still felt by all of us who knew him.

I miss both of these guys a great deal and thank you for putting this memorial together.

I wish I has the ability to post this on Champion's forums.

*I* can, though. Post what you wanted posted in Champion here - I'll create a thread there.

Michelle, thank you again SO much for doing this. The fact that you're willing to put your time and effort into doing something like this lifts my spirit immensely. Nothing can ever bring back the loved ones we've lost, but as long as we remember them, they're never entirely gone. Thank you.

Rapido (@Rapido) passed away last year on august 7th 2011.

We met ingame on Vigilance (FR) server some years ago.

He was my friend and I miss him

Sickle cell anemia I wonder if anybody remembers him? Primarily Virtue player.

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

The rough draft of this video is breaking my heart.

I'm kind of afraid of it, to be honest. I used to make videos for my local animal shelter and people would pass around tissues beforehand and some would leave the room. I've never been on the receiving end of that.

What you are doing requires herculean compassion. My prayers that your heart will be able to feel the love and appreciation of those you honor.

This. Thank you.

I couldn't agree more.

An update:

No, I have not forgotten about this. The problem is that I keep changing my mind on the best way to do it, and the music I want to use. (No joke - I've got like eight choices now.)

I have all the names, and I will be filming right up until they shut down the servers. So for those who are interested in seeing the finished result (since I honestly don't know if I'll be able to finish it before Fri midnight - unemployment sucks), please subscribe to me on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/samuraiko) and on Twitter (I'm there as @Samuraiko).

I'll also be posting it on the Titan forums when it's done.

I am so sorry that it's taking this long - it has been painfully hard for me to log in to try and film when the overwhelming weight of "why bother" is just stifling me. But damn it all, I want to finish this.

If anyone complains about how long this is taking, they deserve a swift kick in their priorities.

Thank you for your labor of love, D_R. Can't imagine how hard this particular one is to make. I'm sure you're doing each player justice.

Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
