Times have Really Changed with the Lost of Great players

[Molsman]

Guys/ Gals

Is it me or have I realized in the past few months we have lost alot of Great players who gave their time to the game, some of them so soon and some that been battling long time battles with either Cancer or Heart Problems or accidents. Seems like every other week now I am reading about some longtime Vet's of the Game who has Passed onto higher fighter/bomber/gv grounds. and moved on to better pastures.


So As a Great Community of Aces High I would like to Reserve the AvA Arena for a Mass Memorial Flight for Our fallen Comrades I am looking at the Date of December 30th the night before New years Eve so Can we make this happen for Our Fallen Comrades and I would Also like to see some HTC Staff at this event also least we can all do for Fallen Players of the Game they loved

Okay 32 Views and Vet Players do not even have a thought about this Tributes to all the fallen AH players from the pat year???????

Just play in the main areana and have fun is the best tribute to the players who have passed.

I think that's a great idea.  Very often I have missed memorial flights due to them being during the middle of the night for me when I had to be up for work the following morning.  Now that I am retired it's not such a problem to stay up, so I would welcome the opportunity to make up for all the flights I have missed, or in some cases have never happened, in the past.

Molsman,

I think that you ALL are on to something.  I went silent on the responses to the all of the notifications of the losses of some very dear community members. Pretty much having that same feeling that this is all to soon and frequent,  I was beginning to feel speechless.

Zack's sentiment, is sort of like the ritual pouring of a capful of booze to be shared by buddies in remembrance of a missing member of the group, to carry on in the spirit that they would surely have us enjoy life as they did. 

Flossy certainly shares the experience of a number of those (myself included) that often are not available for scheduled memorials due to time zones and commitments.

Together with Molsman's idea of celebrating the joy all of these good people have brought to the community, I would prefer an EVENT.  Possibly even something new, like an event Olympics combining King of The Hill, Red Bull Race, Furball Lake, and TankTown Mega Battle all held  simultaneously on a modified Dueling Arena map or some other facsimile of gathering to memorialize veterans of the game no longer with us.

Could go like this:  King of the Hill begins 1st round as folks are being picked off one by one they have options to join the mega TankTown battle while waiting for the results of the round to conclude.  The same with Red Bull Race event.  There could be several events that could be dedicated to past members or not. 

You know, anything that could give it a carnival atmosphere, while saluting our buds who will forever be inbedded in our hearts.  "Announcement:  10 minutes until the 'Heeler Memorial M3 City Rally Race,' participants meet at North spawn of A24"

Just because people don't respond doesn't mean they haven't felt the passing of community members. For me, brody comes to mind most readily.

Molsman, you know very well the AvA staff has always been available to serve this community! It only takes a simple PM and your follow through to organize the dedication event. Such a thing doesn't happen on it's own.

Really sad to see these guys go......

Seeing the people go reminds me of my own mortality, and how short life really is. Once you hit a certain age and  you realize that you have less in front of you than behind you, every loss of someone that you see and compete with or against every day makes it sting just a little bit more. I've only been in AH since 2011, but in that short time have witnessed the loss of many people that I spoke with almost every day, or was killed by or killed. Every one of them was a real person, with real lives, loves and feelings. It's really easy to relegate them to being cartoon people, without even thinking about it. When they pass, reality sets in. I miss many of those gone, for the smiles that they gave me, the white knuckled moments when we'd fight and for the countless hours that I have had the incredible pleasure of playing this game. I think a mass memorial is a fitting idea and hope that I'm able to participate.

Mols,  I saw that you called me last night,  let me know how I can help here.

[JimmyD3]

I think its a good idea, I'll try to be there.

[SlipKnt]

I am in. 

Should be able to get good turnout from G3-MF.

Mols,
 I would happy and proud to set up the AvA in any planeset or map we have for this. Just pm me and we can get together. The staff is always willing to help our fallen comrades.

[Zoney]

Mols........good on ya mate.

I think there are several really good ideas here and I think maybe we can do a yearly tradition in remembrance of all that have been here past and present.  My preference would be an AvA event where we have a bit of a fight along with some fun while we pay tribute to all things Aces High.
