Unfortunately, we have to add Khyberbill (Bill Greenman) to this list. He was my first and only PBEM opponent so far. He passed away on August 6th from cancer.
I feel weird opening up the saved game menu and seeing that file there in slot "018". Even weirder when I open it up and scan the map a bit.
It's kind of funny how you can feel so sad about someone you never actually met in person - just someone who would drop emails with that nice little paper clip indicating an attached turn. A little bit of trash talking about events in the game, a few questions here and there about random life topics - and then you feel really sad reading the on-line obituary.
It's probably because Bill seemed like a really good guy. Good sense of humor, polite and courteous about turns and very understanding about all my "newbie" questions.
RIP Bill. You'll be missed. [:(]
really sorry to hear that. How old was he?
RIP mate
