 [48][OOG/IG] R.I.P. Trailmaster.
The death of a loved guide.

I received an e-mail this morning from the same toolground.com anonymous host; this could be fake but I highly doubt it. I don't know whether it's in-game, out of game or both. I may be breaking a ToS rule here, but it's the only thing I can say: This is a fucking shame.

`` At 6:30 this morning (February 9, 2008), Marika Sales (Trailmaster) passed away in her sleep after a short and difficult illness. Please let the others know and someone will be along to help you all soon. ``

I know I havne't posted in awhile, let alone been around but this definitely was somethign that caught my attention. I am completely speechless. Trailmaster was a huge part of this game. Trailmaster was also one of the reasons I kept coming back. I don't really know what else to say, but if this is real, that I am deeply saddened. Death/mortality are things that deeply affect me, regardless of who it is. You can only hope that since it was due to an illness that TM is not in pain.

I will say this, since her name was given I can't get the thought out of my head that it might be real. So, this is my proclamation to the PMs:

If she died out of game, the actress behind her, and this game continues, you are all heartless bastards.

To the family and loved ones of Marika go my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most sad time.

*sending hugs around the room*

I did, no dice. If it happened this morning, there wouldn't be anything on the net yet.

I'm feeling so gutted by the thought that she is gone,remembering her quick wit and graciousness in every encounter. Her family and close friends must be devastated. Such sad news.

I, along with Hawk, just spoke to her at 3am. She was fine. No mention of any illness.

I dunno Ic. I think we owe it to her to finish this. How much time did she spend here? How much invested in us? Our duty now is to see this thing through...

If it's in-game, I have no problems finishing.

If it's out of game, you can bet your ass I'm closing this window and never returning.
