i hadn't seen anything saying he did....'cept the post above, which drew a heavy laugh, so i figured it to be not true.

 last i read, was him leaving, because he was mad about something..........

 if he did, i apologize.........

On 200 this past Saturday the player known as Ferb told everyone that his twin brother Jason, known as Pieper, had passed away from cancer on July 19th.  Ferb told everyone that Pieper had known he was terminal from cancer for two years but not said anything.  When asked by someone on 200 for Pieper's real name and location of death for condolence purposes, Ferb stated it was "private".

I for one would be happy to particpate in a memorial flight.  Should Ferb be Pieper as most people appear to believe......that poor man.  He has more problems in real life than we thought he had just from his in-game persona.  If true, I will pray for him.

He did pass away or did he just quit? Hopefully the latter of the two

"Ferb", Pieper's twin brother had never played untill after his brother died, gosh, if my twin brother had played this game I'm pretty sure I would have played also.

"Ferb", Piepers twin brother sounds just like Pieper on vox, of course, they are twins.

"Ferb", Piepers twin brother will probably have similar styles of flying and fighting because of the genetic coding of course.

And simplified:

"If you have two theories which both explain the observed facts then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"

"The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."

"If you have two equally likely solutions to a problem, pick the simplest."

"The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct."

I don't understand why the community can't take things seriously.

I'm sure Ferb is a little bit distraught at this time.  While I don't know what it's like to lose a twin, I do know what it is to lose a friend.
 
I had a hermit crab when I was young.  He liked his little sponge in his water, and he preferred his food pellets crushed.  I only fed him once or twice a week, but we also saw each other throughout the day. I know it's not the same, but I was pretty sad when his shell was on it's side and his big claw was pinned under it.  I don't know if it was disease or not.  He kept to himself and didn't really burden me with his troubles.

Anyways, we should prolly wait until Ferb can attend, or give input.  I assumed he was on the forums.

I'm sorry if you don't find the motives of myself and Assi to be nothing but genuine in honoring a fallen player.  Sure, Pieper may not have been liked by a large portion of the community but some of us have known him for years.  When his twin brother logged on teh other night and told us between flaming people on Channel 200 and talking politics that Pieper had passed a way a couple of days ago, Assi and I felt that it would be nice to honor Pieper with a fallen man formation with his twin brother Ferb leading the formation.

We do it for other players, why not for Pieper?

Post by: Yeager on July 25, 2011, 08:38:03 PM
Fascinating.  

Here is my take on this pieper/ferb thing:  a lot of people are kind of "off kilter" a bit, and we get to see it from time to time in MMOs.  Truth is even well adjusted people say and do some pretty stupid things from time to time in MMOs.  Its really low quality entertainment to me, but entertainment nonetheless.  I do feel somewhat sorry for this pieper guy but we really do reap what we sow.  Let it be a lesson learned.

Press on.

Selective sensitivity can make you a moral giant.  If all your posts showed it, then I might take you seriously.

I shot down someone's P-51 with the name of Peiper just this weekend.  Is this the same guy, someone with a similar name, Peiper's ghost or are there actually three of them.  :headscratch:

That pretty much seals it.    I have long known Pieper's first name, as we have emailed stuff in prior years.     Wow.    I haven't had the urge to play AH much lately, as I'm helping Bodhi with a World of Tanks Clan.    But if Jay passed..... :salute.    

If a Memorial Flight is planned I will participate.

On the 17th he last posted in his whining ranting "quit post" about how there's a big conspiracy out to get him and he's quitting. He said don't ask, because "you don't want to know how far down the rabbit hole it goes" (so that's a clue right there as to his mental state).

In the same thread, another forum-goer says: That's not how you do it. Don't quit, just change your name and start new again.

On the 19th all of a sudden somebody announces he died and his identical twin brother is taking over acting like him...


I leave you all to judge for yourselves. Adding in a day's delay for him to think up the whole twin story it makes perfect sense. At least, perfect sense in the virtual community that fostered Voss and other malcontents.
