RIP Vile-Rat never had the chance to bump into you in game and would have liked to have meet you. Then again you made some very big decisions that interfered with me early in my eve career, including leading to the event that ruined my spying career indirectly. Well Vile-Rat fly safe wherever you are.

In Tribute eve online players have begun renaming their starbases today.
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/live/Outpost/Rename you can scroll down the changes and see how many bases names are paying their respects from today alone. You can continue to scroll down and see that already hundreds of star bases have been renamed and this stands as a testament to Vile-rat's contribution to eve online diplomacy.
Why is it always the best of our community?
In reflection of the threads today it seems Vile-Rat has done one more thing for us before departing. I am seeing more of the non-eve players here starting to feel that there is more of a community that can be felt in dust 514 than previously before. I wished it didn't take such a tragedey to do so but if Dust 514 and Eve Online begins forming more into a New Eden community becuase of it I am certainly going to blame Vile-Rat for it. |

This is beyond sad. I enjoy watching the politics of EVE and remember Vile Rat and the various banter on the Eve-O forums and whatnot. From what I hear he's had a huge impact on many things in Eve over the years, and he will be missed.
I don't want to get too political here, but I was really insulted by the State Department's "scolding" and that these savages would become so violent for no sane reason. |

Those morrons were mad about a movie saying that Islam is a religion of hatred. And their response ? Storm an ambassy with guns and kill people....
Can people get more stupid than this ?
Anyway, condoleances to all people who knew him. That's just plain sad.  |

They are religious fanatics and bigots. Reason and rationality is a foreign concept to them. It's like calling a South African **** gang homos, they'll **** you to prove you wrong. (I've been told)
This is beyond sad, not just because of the loss of Vile Rat, but because they show just how far beyond reason this conflict is becoming. |

Not an Eve player so haven't heard about him, but may he rest in peace.
It really disgusts me how some people are ready to kill just because of something that insults their religion, prophet, fairy-tale or whatever. Those people should just jump off a cliff or something and go to their "god" or "paradise", world would be a better place.

I tend to put it this way: If the deity or prophet is offended, let them handle it themselves, they are omnipotent after all, right?. |

Eve might be full of psycos but deep down they are a good bunch.

It may be too soon, but I wouldn't hate it if CCP would create a rare, "diplomats" suit/dress in his name. I have no idea what its stats would be. Perhaps -90% damage to all weapons in the area. friend and foes alike? :P |

I was just logging on to actually post this up. Yeah the man in question was a United States official stationed in Libya, but also one of the longest and most influencial EVE players the Eden universe knew.
Here is my link -- US Official Killed in Libya -- My article is from Kotaku. So everyone is getting the word by now. Not sure how to feel about the guy though. Being killed is always something to be sad over, but I just found it funny that a "United States" official not only played EVE, but was also a shady influential character in EVE whom had strong ties to GOONSWARM. I'm just... Saiyan. No, but seriously I find that speaks volumes. |

Thanks for posting this Iron Wolf, i was just going to this myself.
I knew Vile quite well and spoke to him a lot over the last few months and i was on jabber on him when this started to go down last night.
I went to bed after awhile because he didn't come back as quick as he normally does and even as a goon myself i thought it was a troll to start with.  |

There's a good number of Goons who work at CCP, i know one of them posted in VR's thread on SA saying he's going to see if CCP can do something in game in memorial for him and that would really be amazing if they could.
I feel so sorry for his wife and kids and i only know him in passing online, I can't imagine how bad his family feels right now. |
