Garin had some major things in life come up. I'm not sure if he will be coming back anytime soon but if I speak to him again, which may be soon I'll let him know he is missed.

I miss Perky, too. Last I recall, he was having a delimma over picking his PT. He's got one now, I see, but he's not been around much since then.

AndGarin, I've also missed. I hope he can come back soon, maybe join in a WW game again.

This may be a surprise to most of you, but I'd like to see Loki back. I know that was a rather bad situation around him, but he brought a certain... initiative that I sort of liked. And he certainly made things interesting.

I fully agree I saw a lot of potential in him and thought he would been a good opponent/ally.

I should have done this a long time ago, but for those who knew him, Garin or Craig, lost his battle with alcoholism a few months ago and died. The last 2 years were very difficult for him and he had pushed his body to the point of no return. For those interested his friend wrote this memorial. I'm sure it would make Garin extra happy if next time you play WW you were extra brash and abrasive.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I didn't know him well, but I played a few ww games with him and I remember the wit and the temper that clearly come through the memorial. Thanks for posting it, morm.

That is so sad. Addiction is a terrible affliction and so hard to deal with both for the sufferers and the people around them. I didn't know him beyond the WW games but I certainly remember him from them - it was nice not to be the only volatile player!!!

I'm very sorry to hear that. I remember Garin as an exceptionally entertaining character.

*A great rumbling within the earth is heard and felt. It grows more intense until a giant chasm opens.*

*A black-cloaked figure rises out of the rift, which promptly closes.*

*the figure lifts its hood*

I have returned. How are things going in my absence?

Oh, and my thoughts go out to Garin. He was quite the werewolf, as I recall. Lasted quite a while in a game of mine, too, until he finally decided to surrender.
