No.

The intent for this is to create a single memorial commemorating the death of a man who fought not only for his beloved internet spaceships, but also attempted to foster friendship through diplomacy in real life. Sure, people die all the time. But what makes this man any different and more important than other players?

He died in a senseless attack, while trying to make the world a better place.

Maybe I'm being insensitive, but I see no reason to erect a memorial for random people who have done nothing more than play this game and then passed on. Sean Smith is a huge exception, because of the way he lived, and the way he died.

Leadership is something you learn. Maybe one day, you'll learn that.

it isnt just to say one person is more important than another. just like Sean, an average player who died is just as important to to a family , friends, or a group just as Sean was to his.

the statue itsself can be a statue of Sean's in game character followed with a short yet memorable description of him followed by a saying something like "here lies those who have passed on " then ensue a list of names

creating a statue for one person only incites jealousy and envy , then youll get people petitiong ccp to create a statue for everyone individually

If a memorial is being considered, it has to be a titan wreck model

(6:25:55 PM) vile_rat: I was elected to murder titans
(6:26:04 PM) vile_rat: Death to all titans.

I like the idea of a general monument in trade hubs for those of us that have passed on but I do feel that Sean should get his own one as he was stolen away from his family and friends in a act of pure undeserved violence. He did alot for this game and as such I feel he does deserve his own monument in VFK, somewhere his friend's can keep his memory alive and he will live on through them.

Also CCP how about starting a plex for Seans family collection I for one would like to know his family received something back from the community he dedicated so much of his free time too.

Failing a monument, a moments silence at fanfest seems appropriate.

Then that should show that you should go out and do something with your life. Sean lived a life full of self-sacrifice. He was an Air Force veteran. He was a veteran in the state department. In both capacities that lasted over ten years of his life, he worked to improve life for people all over the globe.

He is more important than the thirty-year-old living in mommy's basement. He is more important than the person who is living his life thinking of only of himself.

If you want to set up a memorial to all he people who play this game and have passed away, then fine. BUT THIS IS NOT FOR THEM. This is a petition to set up a memorial specifically for someone who served a life as a public servant, who put the needs of others before himself. This is for someone who wanted to make the world a better place, and in so doing was killed by extremists who want to do the exact opposite.

You're damn right he's more important than 99% of the people who play this game. He did something with his life. He came home and did all of that in-game. But yet you'll pull this BS of "it'll cause envy amongst the players!" Good. Get off your lazy ass and do something meaningful.

Stop it, now, with all these, "We need to have a memorial to commemorate all the people who have died who play this game!" You are not noteworthy. This man was, and should have our respect.

Leadership is something you learn. Maybe one day, you'll learn that.

I will continue to support a memorial to Sean "Vile Rat" Smith.

A null system named VR-RIP would be perfect.
