City Council Jimmy Posted October 14, 2020 City Council Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hello all, Unfortunately one of our own, @GM Cyclone, also known as @Robotech_Master, was the victim of a tragic hit-and-run accident late last week. He had been receiving treatment over the past few days, but unfortunately he passed away this morning. Cyclone was a tireless contributor to the community, both through his time spent as a Game Master and the countless guides he'd written. He will be sorely missed. A memorial has been set up in Ouroboros on Torchbearer, his home server, for those who wish to pay their respects. 1 54 Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive?

Retired Lead Game Master GM Kal Posted October 14, 2020 Retired Lead Game Master Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) 2020 is terrible. Cyclone started as a GM just after me. So so many times I posted his helpful guides to players. He really loved this game. I can only hope he didn't suffer after the accident. From the sound of the accident he just... was not there from the moment of impact. I'm at least thankful for that. He originally wanted to be GM Mospeada, but I totally busted him to Cipher for copyright before he started I was really looking forward to him watching the new Mospeada anime that hasn't come out yet, but I guess he won't be able to see it now. Damn his obsession with bikes. I just wish they were as armored as the "Cyclone" ones in the show he loved. He did so much both as a player and a GM. He will be greatly missed by me and all of the community. I'm glad his writings and guides are still helping people. Please check out his works and guides. It made him happy every time they helped someone.https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/11218-r_ms-guide-to-r_ms-guides/ Edited December 7, 2020 by GM Kal 10 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbiter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My condolences to his friends and family. As someone who lost someone close to them to a drunk driver I know this kind of loss to be sudden and painful.

City Council Conviction Posted October 14, 2020 City Council Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) We, both the community and the GM team, have lost a valuable member. I don’t really have the words to express why but, we all know it by the work he put in to help members both as a player and as a GM. RIP Cyclone.

Nerio72 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) So sorry to hear this. He will be missed deeply. I wish I knew him more, he will love (live on is what I meant, but that works also) through his guides and people's memories of him. And maybe a memorial in game?

Ulysses Dare Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I never played with R_M, only chatted with him here on the forums once or twice. But his guides were, and still are, an invaluable resource. The quality of care—and love of the game—that he put into each of them was outstanding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic_Flea Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Damn. I had read of his tragic accident and was hoping and praying that he would see it through. Rest well, my friend. Edited January 17 by Bionic_Flea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, too soon, but your mind races around when you hear these things. Edit. Was writing and posting when the above appeared. Crossed over there.

Nifty Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Upon finding homecoming and coming back to CoH, Robo was one of the first new friends I'd made. I'm so glad now that I had the pleasure of playing with him. He was without a doubt one of the most helpful and generous players. I'll never forget him supplying everyone on the team with money for a Team Transport Power who didn't already have one, so we could complete our Dr. Q TF with speed and ease. Rest in Peace Robo... you will live on in our memories and hearts. 3 Excelsior: 🎯 Nifty - Elec/Shield Stalker | ✨ Corporeal - Time/Fire Defender |💪 Sturdy - SS/Inv Tanker 💫 Humiliation - Fire/Fire Blaster |💚 Cinema - Fire/Kin Corruptor |💀 Heat Loss - Ice/Cold Corruptor Torchbearer: 👊Nifty - MA/SR Scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishamon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'd known him for years and years going back to the old City_of_Heroes Livejournal community days, he was always as helpful as he'd been here on Homecoming.
