at least vilerat died doing what he loved, whitewashing the crimes of the u.s. government in the last moments of life while moving spaceship pixels around

I don't think so, in fyad they were speculating it was either an aneurism, which apparently his family was predisposed to, or an opiate overdose, to which he was apparently addicted.
On topic I feel bad someone died violently and pointlessly, but am also glad I don't have to read his posts. Would have preferred to not have to read evilweasel posts, tbh. What was the context of his Nelson Mandela hate, btw?

Well, he's white.

it was because mandela opposed the iraq war, iirc. apparently he was stationed in south africa at one point, which makes it even better.

He, me, and Solo Drakban are among... were among - the last of the old guard still playing. We first hung out in person back in 06, when he came by the DC area for some training; he’d been in Johannesburg for a while but I was living in Northern Virginia. The first time we hung out we went out to dinner, chilled, then realized that we didn’t have any mixers for drinks so we just began pounding vodka shots while playing EVE, killed a Caracal while we were in frigates, went to 1V- in Scalding Pass and trolled Lotka Volterra for being bad. The system had just fallen. 06. I’ve known him for more than six years.

BALLIN_LIKE_STALIN posted:vilerat, aka Sean Smith, was an IT guy for the US State Department. He was assigned to work at a consulate in Benghazi. That office was attacked by far-right Islamic militants during a protest over a low-budget film that portrays Mohammed as a pedophile (it's looking more and more like the attack was premeditated and just used what would otherwise have likely been a non-violent protest as cover). While most of the consular staff evacuated, vilerat stayed behind to
wipe classified datalog off of EVE Online, and was killed in the attack. In the mean time, Chris Stevens, the US ambassador, and his bodyguards evacuated to a safe house. The attackers followed, and killed the ambassador and two other State Department employees.
I am in the military and heard about the attacks before most of the world. At first it was just another attack. Then I came home and saw the news on reddit that a fellow EVE player had died. It wasn't until I read what might have been his last communication that I really started feeling it.

HOW DARE THEY EQUIVOCATE
Heard your name mentioned again when a bunch of goony babies started crying about some dumb pith helmet-wearing network jockey that got obliterated "just doing his job" making sure that the red-white-and-blue is balls deep in whatever government emerges from the muck over there. The outrage and faux empathy left me scratching my head.
Just wanted to say it's great seeing you. You look good.
