Re: Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities
 

It may be because I’m in Argentina, far away from the USA and far away from Near East, but this affects me much more than 10,000 dead people in the WTC.

A few days ago, when I made the race directory I realized that he had almost caught up with me in number of shipsets made, leaving John Beech far in third place.
He’s been working in something similar to what I’ve been. I was glad to finally found someone working on Star Trek shipsets as hard as I’ve been working in Star Wars.

I had modded his mods, adding some pictures and reordering others, and was about to email them to him. I guess there’s no need to do that now. Posting them on my site or on this forum now will look as disrespect, like if I wanted to take advantage of this tragedy, so I’ll wait some time.

He used to be a very valuable member of the SE4 community, and I was beginning to regard him as a friend. I wasn’t aware that he was ill. My best wishes go for you and your family.

Andres,

I do not know Will beyond the forum here, but from his comments I think he would want us to move forward.

Perhaps you could post them along with a nice note honoring all his many contributions to the community.

I've been absent from the forums for a little while, and I know that I don't post all that often, but I've watched much of the forums from lurking.

Will, (Atrocities) I hope that you will pull through.

Andres, I can understand what you mean. It's rather sad, but true. I think Stalin said it best. One death is a tragedy. A (ten?) thousand deaths is a statistic. It's easier to deal and cope with one thing close to you than to deal with something that is so far away and seemingly impersonal and inconcievable.

Re: Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities
 

Damn, this has not been a good week. I will miss his thoughts and insights.

God bless you William.

My heart goes out to you and all those who's lives touched yours and your brother.

I wish Atrocities and his immediate family the best of luck and my prayers.

Re: Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities
 

Thank you all for your comments.

Regarding Will, he is doing better, this is great news, and we are very happy. I am using his PC to type this post, and given that all of his passwords and security precautions have greatly complicating things, I have successfully notified most of the people he knows.

I am glad to hear Will is doing better. First bit of good news this week.
I have alway enjoyed his presence.
I hope for his speedy recovery.

Re: Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities
 

I apologize for responding so late in this thead, but things have been busy over the Last few days.

I too hope that Atrocities recovers quickly and completely. And I'm very happy and relieved to hear that he's doing better.

This guy is one of the many, outstanding individuals that helps to make the Shrapnel Games Forums, and SE IV in particular, a friendly, helpful, and oh-so-knowlegeable community.

My prayers are with him as well.

I´m also from a country far away south, Argentina, and not very old in the group, but enough to know that Atrocities is one of the most respected and frequent posters of the forum.
Lets make the support from all of us, ´his´forum... reach Will
