I was just sitting here for some time... not even sure what to say...

I did not know him personally, but from the forums and several in-game characters. It is a truly sad day and all we can hope for is that he rests in peace.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad news to hear. Kemilla was always trying to play with Vilmai, and when we did it was always interesting.

Ten days ago the closest person in the world to me killed herself. Part of why Andach and Vilmai haven't been seen lately. The last time I saw Kemilla on, I had even typed out a tell to send to him to ask him to change his title because of what had happened in my life, but I never sent it.

Suicide doesn't just end one life, it destroys the lives of all those near and dear.

My condolences to those near to him, and his family. It is difficult to pick up the pieces but you are not alone.

Uh yea, my condolences, this sucks. I wish he had talked to someone rather then do this, friends, family, us, whatever. Anyone.

How very bizarre.
My wishes that he did not leave too large a void behind in those he was close to. May you recover well.

Holy hell! I feel like someone just punched me in the solar plexis. I'm winded

.......

OVT has always been around. He always there to hate, to [REDACTED] at, to mock, but he was always ovt. He was another player. He was one of the SK community. The very idea that he killed himself frightens me because if it was at all SK related I will feel terrible.

I have said this many times to many people. OVT was luny. He was crazy and he was "[REDACTED]" to quote myself. I didn't want to be this right. I always said how messed up he was. I just hope hope hope to God that I never got into his head with insults or anything. I really felt I got a read on this guy and I really hope it's just my ego, but I just knew this guy was screwed. I should have cut him slack.

I feel terrible, I'll never get that chance to make it up to him all the times I cursed him out or called him a [REDACTED] nutcase. Or told people I thought he was crazy. Wasn't his avatar on one of the old sk sites for logs him with an AK-47?

Please let us know how he died. I hope it's an accident of some sort and not a suicide. There were so many signs that he was troubled, it never even occured to me to try to help him out. I just tried to run him off and keep him away from me.

:( :( :( :( :(

I am really and genuinely hurt by this after life post.

Edit: I was at my worst with him when he was Rennidius Lavenport and I was Dwallstrom. I just tortured him. I tried to ruin everything he did. Made him flee, I killed him, I mocked him. I crossed the line from fun and games as harlequin to mean and spiteful as a player so much that I just think I'm going to puke.

I never talked to the player outside the game and our interactions were generally very limited, but it hurts me to the core to know that a person who was part of this community is no longer amongst us. In one way or another, we can all relate to this internet ID and whatever our experiences were, positive or negative, they seem quite insignificant now.

If he commited suicide, I have to wonder how miserable and lonely he must've felt and I ask myself if I could've done anything at all to help him. It's probably not easy to talk about the details, but do you know why he decided to end his life? What weighed so heavily upon his soul that he found no other way out than death?

My sympathies to his friends and family and may he rest in peace. I for one, will remember him.



Oh God loth. You are just like me. If you were here I'd hug you. I spent so much time playing with him, against, around him, away from him. But he's been kicking around for years. He's just part of it all. SK has only been around since '96 and he has been around since at least '99-00.

I never knew him oocly. I never wanted to. That's why I feel so guilty. Maybe if I'd have hit him with a yim and we got to be friends he'd have had some kind of escape from his problems. I almost feel guilty because I have spent so much time around him so to speak as a fellow player, and a long term player.

I think I'm going to be a little sick.

I have nothing but indifference bordering on contempt for suiciders. Don't pity them or think you could have saved them; it was their [REDACTED] choice, and it was with their terrible deliberateness that you people feel hurt. Orac, grow a pair and blame him. This is only a tragedy for the people affected.

And to those people: my utmost condolences.

While I think the same, I could not bring myself to say it at this point in time. And if I was going to say it, I would not have done it quite the same way. However - I do agree whole-heartedly with Antaeos.
