    Acratapotes from 1tr passed away today from a short battle with cancer.

    1tr was one of our allies in the grand scheme of things and they always were there to hang out and have a good time. Potatoes, as we know him better as was one of the pillars of that community.

    He did a lot of work for them, we were planning on working together in future games since our presence in planetside is diminished. He and I worked together on a lot of server smash stuff and he was one of the last people to deserve this.

    While I type this up at work on my phone with tears in my eyes locked up in a room no one can bother me in, I'll remember all the good he represented. And will remember every one of you who I played with in NNG and out. You all mean the world to me and I hope you realize that as I wish I could say that to everyone I know deserve it.

    They are currently planning a memorial service in game and have posthumously given him br100. Please pay attention to the time and date, I want to bring every single one of you fuckers to this thing. Even if you haven't played in months or years. Let's blow them out of the water with our NNG color guard.

    May he rest in peace and I hope that his family makes it through this difficult time.

    I personally would advise againt paying respects in an MMO setting type of a game. There is a lot of history about how these things can backfire.



    Ironically it happened on Illidan server where I've been playing WOW for few years.
    All I can say is that the forums got pretty active during that time.

    I hope to be there. I only know of a few times that I wouldn't be able to make it, and I'm off school next week, so 99.999% chance I'll be there.

    Never actually knew Potatoes, but I want to pay respects to a friend of the Emerald community.

    I don't have a time or date yet, I've been trying to get in touch with the guys at 1TR but I can't seem to get on their schedule. I'll keep you guys posted, thanks for the response
