I never post. I check in from time to time, as the last several years had not been kind to my health post SG, and I can do nothing but salute you for your dedication and service. You put up with far more bullshit than anyone should ever have to, you've done far more than you ever needed to, and you have earned that long rest that those of us only dream of. We may not have always seen eye to eye, but there was always a pure level of respect. Not speaking i'll of Haggard or Garfield, Amit or whover else owned the community, but it was guys like You, Spartan, Polka, Litkey, Paul, and the many more who served on the board at various times who kept this community together, even when it was fracturing. From someone who knows how thankless this all truly is, Thank you. You are appreciated, You are loved, and if this is truly the end? At least ban Afamad for 5 more minutes.....

My turn to change the lightbulb.....

I always appreciated the many laughs and smiles i got from roux's posts. I am quite shocked and saddened to hear about his passing. He was always courteous, professional , and everything that seemed to define what many of us at SG strive to be : Good people. My deepest condolences to those who knew him. Rest in Peace and Be Well sir.

There aint enough money in the world to be paid to do this job. And i say it as a former board member.

Sometimes these projects get backburnered a little bit during the holidays, they are probably still discussing this off and on in other channels. (Former member of the board of directors)

Due to some still legal issues and some bullshit with my former employers, I tend to avoid doing anything to draw attention to myself . They dragged it out for a few years and more false endings than return of the king. So no photos. I do most of my work left handed and use a lot of keyboard and actually use mmo mouse's for stuff on computers, and typing has gotten easier over the years. As for gaming, not as easy as it sounds. I've tried coming back several times, but I can't play games that are past s certain speed. World of Warcraft has been a sanctuary and a lot of rpg's. I mean I'm working through Ace attorney trilogy right now. Games like shellshock. Could not pull off a tell-tale game. I use a remapped Xbox elite controller as well

Industrial accident , eventually cost me my right hand and part of the arm. Full story is in my posting history, can't believe it's been almost 5 years since the accident.

Ain't You fucks ever heard of LED's?

I'm surprised I got 4. The newbies have never seen nor feared the banhammer.

Always found that an LED that runs 24/7 usually has to change 2-3 times a year. Holy fuck this threads been running 9 goddamn years????

This is one of the very few times name and shame is not only justified, but encouraged. Fuck em

I have someone else typing this post for me, at least to make things easier to answer. Phantom limb? its real, and i've been feeling it since the accident. A lot of the idea behind it is nerve damage, or at least thats how its been explained to me. The nerves still assume they are connected, and yet aren't. You know something is touching you, yet you can't feel it. if thats the best way to describe it. As for insurance/legal, there are certain things i am not allowed to talk about, as we are still in the process and will be for sometime, but my company will take care of me. As will the US government. and OSHA. Thing is, I'm not all that bitter. I've had a few months to prepare for this possibility. Am i happy about it, Fuck no. But I'm just taking it one day at a time. It'll still be weeks/months before i'm able to do a prosthesis, just so my arm can heal.

Its done. My right hand is gone. Prosthesis is soonish. typing is a pain.

Unfortunately, its looking more and more likely as time goes on that the damage is falling into bad or worse case. I'm set for a surgery on the 6th, and the results of that may determine if i keep my hand. Blood flow, nerve damage and issues with the bones and muscles have to be looked at. I've had several issues in recovery and not many positive milestones. At least the legal/insurance side is moving well considering the circumstances. I never thought i'd be (near) permanently disabled at 31 years old.

It's been a bit since I've been around or active anywhere in SG, and it would come a time where i probably would've had to say something about it to either the players or my fellow admins. The main reason i haven't been around is a lot of the same reason a lot of former staff, players, and members drifted away, sometimes we disagree with how the community should be run, or have just drifted away from everything, be it gaming, work, life or other interests. Hey it happens, and we always come back in some way, shape or form, even to lurk. I intended to take 2-3 weeks away without looking at the forum at all, around memorial day, to just get some space away from a lot of things. But then something happened to me. In mid-june, I got hurt at work, badly. I was involved in a heavy equipment collision where another employee hit my machine and pinned my right arm between my vehicle and a wall of product. I suffered several broken bones in my hand and arm and have no function in some of my fingers due to nerve damage. I'm currently out of work doing workman's comp and disability, and therapy to regain function, with some additional surgery soon. As i said, i lurk, but i really can't do much. You try doing this shit left handed only. But I'm alive, I'm (somewhat) okay, and I'm happy to finally see the forum redesign live. So RDM some fuckers on TTT for me, and maybe someday i'll be back fulltime. High.

Not going to happen.

Respectfully disagree about tower of terror. Keep it.

does anyone who said broncos want to apologize?

Cmon guys dont let these 2 servers die that quickly, forums shouldve been up days ago....

never had that, even when i was forum mod.

so you gonna make this and rust live servers at any point?

pretty much on the mark. if someone does anything major you can just go into the files themselves and reset a planet. Edit: I think there are server mod tools on chucklefish's forums, but they are overloaded at the moment.

Only had 1 character reset from the first week. Still have my three characters after all the updates....

Every video i've seen works with a 10-12 person server max, so it doesn't look like resource hog.

Simple Premise for a smaller server. one person is a murderer, everyone else except one person is unarmed. But the SeaNanners video should give you a better idea [YOUTUBE]XN9U8tzDoww[/YOUTUBE]
