Now his Family is without him, who is to say how they will get by without him? Don't we owe his family a debt?


No. We owe them nothing. We owe him nothing. May be perceived as harsh, but it's true. If people want to donate to make themselves feel better then that's an individual choice, but don't play the debt/guilt card.


I apologize for the wording, did not intend to play a debt/guilt card. As you can see before today I hardly posted about anything at all. I never had a thing that I cared enough to post much about. But the key word is "care" That is just how I feel, I feel a personal responsibility to do something. I am just asking for others that feel that way to let CCP know we want their help to do something for this family. We have no hard feelings towards those that do not feel that way, please do not have hard feelings towards us I don't intend to make anyone feel "guilty" =(

A human being, a father, a husband, was just murdered. Taken from his family and friends by religious loons.

All you can think of is how he acted in a game about internet spaceships. You are a sad, small minded, bitter little person. I pity you.



But since he has passed, how many other fathers, daughters, sons etc passed.

Like the OP thread starter if you support this idea.

If you lost a team mate on a sports team you would ban together to show your support for that individual.

I feel a plex drive for VR's family would be no different.

Were merely showing support for a person who shared in an activity we all love.

Noir. and Noir Academy are recruiting apply at www.noirmercs.com I Noir Academy: 60 days old must be able to fly at least one tech II frigate. I Noir. Recruits: 4:1 k/d ratio and can fly tech II cruisers.

This is the first and only warning I will issue. Do NOT bring petty personal arguments in here. If you disagree with the OP do so politely and then leave. Vitriol, petty insults and mud slinging will not be tolerated on these forums and anyone found to be doing so repeatedly is at risk of a warning or forum ban.

I know that subjects like this can be difficult to deal with, everyone has differing views and thoughts. This is something that can work two ways, it can either benefit the community or it can divide it terribly. Please bear in mind that friends of Vile Rats will be reading these pages, perhaps even his family, we do not know. So I will ask all of you, once and once only, show some respect.

So please, think before you post, and post sensibly - ISD Type40.

I fully support this. I have a wife and two young children myself.

The thought of not being there for my kids while they grow up is bone chilling.

There is nothing harder on a family than losing a loved one.

A little financial support does nothing to ease the pain, but can help ease the burden that comes along with such a loss.

RIP Vile Rat,

To be honest, I suspect whatever life insurance he had would far surpass anything we might give.

I think a better application of money from the community would be to donate to a scholarship fund or some charity that meant something to the man. Honor his memory by making a difference in his name, rather than simply handing his family a check that they (hopefully) don't need.

edit: Perhaps someone who knows the family could determine whether they were in need of the small bit of financial assistance we could provide.

All US diplomats are heavily insured, especially those in high-risk locations such as Libya. His family will not want for anything financially. That is not to say he won't be missed, but any piddly amount raised for him through EVE Online serves only to succor the hearts and minds of those who knew him.

That is quite possible, maybe even probable that w/e we do pales in comparison financially. But to beat on the phrase "It's the thought that counts" a system generated check holds far less intrinsic value than anything we might do as a group of people doing something from the heart.

A college fund for his children, a donation to a charity in his honor... anything, any gesture, we can make as a group. Even the show of willingness in this thread, shows we feel for his family and care about them. And that's what it's about.

But whatever we do it can't start (at least not with PLEX) without CCP's backing. If they cannot back it, we'll find another way to help, but in the end, I feel it's the meaning behind the action that matters more than the action in this case.
