Thank you.

I'll bash some things in your name, then say "oops" when you come back and people notice the bashing was for nothing.

Hail!.

Thank you for the fire sword and magic armor! And the better balance in 1.1.x and most especially for having the Orcs arrive at dawn instead of dusk in Isle of Aduin!:-)

Good fortune follow you where ever you go!

Since Scott is gone now, who will take over his 'job' in wesnoth. Has this already been fulfilled, like a PM to the key people 2 weeks before he left. I am just interested in who will fill Scott's role. For I know he wasn't just your average Dev.

Wow. You're like the Wesnoth voice of reason - you'll be very much missed.

No kidding. That, I think, is a particularly apt epitaph, if you can call it such.

I'll miss those islands of both sense and humour that your posts were in heated discussions.

I'll also miss seeing the WML-RPG come to life!

I was just reading through the WML-RPG thread the other day, maybe we can carry that on as a MP project, with eternal credits to you, scott!

EDIT: I'm already getting my apostrophe's all messed up!?!!

That's right, and it is sad, that not many people helped with the RPG. I did my bit, at making some of the "location" maps.

This thread feels like an obituary.

I've got this feeling to, and for me it really is unpleasant. Don't understand why many people have written here many strange things, that at least i wouldn't be happy to hear if i was leaving.

That's because this is the Wesnoth community.

Not an obituary. A Eulogy. This is an obituary....

scott the Dev passed on today, leaving behind a grieving community of gamers, flamers, artists, and coders. He is survived by Cuyo Quiz, Dave, and turin, his sparring partner of several years. The community asks that, instead of flowers, donations of art be made to the Faction and Era Development forum.

See the difference?

Hm, its aint a good idea to discuss it all in this thread, i propose that someone makes a split and moves away several posts above as well as this one.

I would have thought he would have wanted donations made to the Art Contrib forum, since that's where art for the main game goes.

It's looking like there's going to be a fight over his will.
