Remembering the late, great, RoboTechMaster

Recommended Posts

EDIT: The Devs beat me to it!

Thanks, Darmian, for setting me straight!

So maybe we can just share some stories about him?

 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

 

Yeah, this should probably go under Suggestions, but more eyes look here. (I may have committed advertising in my mis-spent youth.)

 

RoboTechMaster was one of those players that made both worlds better by his presence. He wrote many excellent guides, with a breezy style of which I am envious. (He was a writer of documentation IRL, and surely amazing at it!)

 

In-game, he was a persistent purrveyor of punny feline characters, a terrific mentor, and a hell of a lot of fun to team with.

 

This is the guy that could turn the infamous Doctor Q TF from a 10-hour slog into 2 hours of frantic fun. (His secret: he generously bought Team Teleport for anyone lacking it, and coordinated its use.)

 

He died tragically and suddenly from a hit-and-run driver, which is ironic considering how vehicles and PCs work in the game.

 

It's been over a year since he died, so I hope it won't seem ghoulish to suggest he be memorialized in Paragon City.

 

Something in the Shadow Shard, perhaps?

But games? He used to pay his bills with games. (He's recovering well, thanks for asking!)

So true!

He's the only reason I comprehend anything about the Incarnate System!

Have you visited the University in Steel Canyon?  Or right now in the Winter Forest?  AFAIK Infurno is one of his characters and they're there.

Great Idea, one of the few forum posters from the original game boards who I never remember leaving the community. He was a presence on Titan Network/Paragon Chat long after the game shut down and was always helpful. I believe a memorial of some kind has been well earned, maybe a conspicuous spot somewhere in Echo Plaza would be appropriate.

or there are Sappers, Man I hate those Guys...)

Wow! No I hadn't!

In the stacks of the University and the clump of NPCs near the Gazebo!

It would be great if clicking on Infurno conveyed some useful information (as he was wont to do), but that's very nice!

 

Request fulfilled!

 

(FYI: Null the Gull will not send you to the Winter Forest during the event, but you can get there via the TUNNEL system.)

 

Thanks, Devs! As usual, you guys are on the ball before I realize there IS a ball!

You can also get to the Winter Forest through an entry UNDER the main Ski Chalet. [795.0 109.0 -904.2]
