Very cool of you guys! Thumbs up to Josh for that.

Thumps up.

 

Sadly, I never really experienced him myself. Though, I remember one of the first things I read in the Obsidian forums was about his death.

 

Great news.

Guys, Visceris goes back to some of my earliest days as the webmaster for Black Isle. No donation is required for a tribute in the game.

 

And don't worry. I won't spare the rod in his representation.

 

Haha, awesome.

I remember fighting with Vis all the time as a mod. God rest his soul. I imagine I'll be gifting one of the $35-65 teirs to a couple of friends. I don't think they'll make us pledge for it, but I'd be willing to have that pledge go to a Vis rememberance character, although I have to admit that I miss Phosphor much more and we never found out what happened to him.

 

EDIT: okay, I guess things just happened too quickly. Kudos to Sawyer, but also to Hurlie who's always been kind of the conscience of this joint.

I just want to point out, he's still the third most prolific poster here. Behind Metadigital and Volo

That doesn't even factor in his alts

...nicely done, Josh; Visc'd want ya ta capture 'im in all his glory...

 

...one thing, though, lad; I knows tarna wasna a heavy-duty poster & sometimes "problem child" like some o' us was, but he was a long-time member o' the Isle an' a helluva good lad...mayhaps a couple o' tributes wouldna hurt...

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

Hades? Judges?

 

why did this image pop into my mind immediately?

Well, I'm sort of hoping tarna sitll is, not was. But I'm not privy to updates.

Didn't Kelverin also pass from cancer? I don't know how long he was with the community but he was around when I got here 7 years ago

...sorry, didna mean ta come 'cross that way; I's hopin' wit' all me heart that tarna still be wit' us as well...the "was" part jus' be sayin' that he was a long-time member o' the Isle, as was Visc, an' he be deservin' o' a tribute, as is Visc...

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

I'm glad to see this is going to happen.

...ya know what'd be funny; runnin' inta a group o' (insert race 'ere) bickerin' 'bout (insert damn fool arguement 'ere): Briareus, Puuk, Maldonado, Bloodlust & Visceris, wit' Tarna actin' the voice o' reason...

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

VERY Awesome of you to add this Josh/Obsidian. :salute:

Didn't Kelverin also pass from cancer?

 

Yeah, last year.

Greetings:

 

This is the late Hades/Visceris' roommate. I was the one who posted via his account regarding his death not quite three years ago. I was contacted last night IRL regarding this tribute and I can't describe how choked up I am, especially with it getting the Strong Official Nod.

 

Yes, he was a stuborn, opinionated pain in the rear. He loved to argue; he and I would argue various topics for hours on end, with each of us swapping views regularly and even acting as our own straw-man on occasion. He had his share of merely bad traits and one or two truly horrible ones, the worst of which was he constantly refused to try and take care of himself both mentally and physically.

 

But he was also one of the single most humane, patient, and caring people I have ever met in my life. I would quite literally not be alive today if he had decided to turn me away as a roommate when I was penniless instead of allowing me the time I needed to get back on my feet. So instead of becoming homeless (again) with no way to survive winter, he gave allowances to someone he barely knew. When he barely had enough to do more than cover his own bills, he was willing to stretch what he did have to help. And I wasn't the only one he did this for, either.

 

He was my roommate for 13 years. He was my best friend. He was my brother. He is still one of only three people in my life whose death still causes me to cry openly whenever I'm reminded of him.

 

From myself and all of his friends, thank you all for this.

Calax said he ran into you, funny how small a world it can be. You will be posting some pics of Hades?

Once I locate them on my drive, I can post the ones that were, as Calax put it, 'Ha! Camera!'. I'm trying to get hold of our friend who took what were really the best photos of him ever at another friend's wedding to find out if he still has the digitals or if we'll have to scan in the print.

If its not too painful to relive, what was it that laid Hades low? Kidney failure?

Heart attack. The very thing he was trying to avoid by working to get himself back in order.

I never new the guy as I joined late, but he sounds like an interesting guy.

 

It's nice to see a developer that cares.

It's even nicer to see a community on the internet that actually cares and is willing to go the extra mile.

 

 

Heh.

Maybe one day when I leave, people will remember me too (fondly...but I suspect it will probably be the opposite )
