Fellow City of Heroes Players:

 

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of Repeat Offenders' beloved leader, @Alty, Stacie Pinkett.

RIP Stacie Pinkett (1970 December 22 Tuesday -- 2025 January 27 Monday)

Alty was pivatol in the first generation of Repeat Offenders.  In August 2005, she and others brought together their Supergroups to create this beautiful coalition to enjoy City of Heroes even more.  To have friends to share play and thoughts and dreams and laughter.

 

I've know Alty since I joined RO in 2006.  So much life.  She loved City of Heroes, loved the great and small details of this other life that is a vital part of our experience.  She helped make RO a wonderful community within our greater and marvelous City.

 

After Shutdown, Alty was critical in keep RO going.  She assisted many to connect to Homecoming in a City of Heroes Renaissance.  She worked to make this renewed City a new home for us all.

 

Gone now, we remember.  Alty was a part of all RO is.  She loved this game.  It gave her a place to make her mark, to help in little ways and grand ones.

 

Life always ends too soon.  As we feel the sorrow of her absence, we should remember the love and joy Alty shared with us all.

On Saturday, April 26th, 2025, Repeat Offenders will hold a wake for Alty, celebrating her life with RO.

This post is a copy of one on the RO forums that can be read without an RO forums login.
https://www.repeat-offenders.net/forum/topic/20488-wake-for-alty-2025-april-26-saturday-everlasting-echo-galaxy-city-check-1st-post-for-timings/

Pass on this message to as many Repeat Offenders and long time City Players as you can reach.

The wake will be on the Everlasting Shard, where Alty spent most of her time on Homecoming.

The wake will be in Echo: Galaxy City, in the courtyard in front of the Freedom Corp HQ, where Back Alley Brawler used to stand.

The date is the week after Easter.  This puts it well clear of any Time Zone changes to/from Daylight Saving / Summer Time in all Time Zones.

Timing is challenging, as there are RO members at least across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The wake will start between 22h00 UTC and 22h15 UTC.  Around the world, that'll be:

    North America PDT 15h00
    North America EDT 18h00
    Europe UK BST 23h00

The following Time Zones will be early on Sunday, April 27th, 2005.

    Europe CEST 00h00
    Australia Perth AWST 06h00
    Australia Melbourne AEST 08h00
    New Zealand NZST 10h00

Please join Repeat Offenders as we celebrate our beloved leader.

I don't think I ever ran into Alty on Homecoming.

I was a member of the RO back before the Sunset (ran with multiple RO supergroup teams), and I recall her going by the name of @AltoholicMonkey or some such.

It was great group of people, and I had fun gaming with them. I'm unsure how many of the teams/groups that I played with that Alty was actually playing in.

 

We did used an in-game global channel to recruit/get teams together across the servers. And, when one of the Repeat Offenders teams wasn't running, others would often recruit for a team on whatever server we were on using the channel. People in the RO tended to have a bunch of characters across multiple servers.

I can't say that I knew Alty well, but I know she will be missed by those that were still able to game with her.

 

I'm sorry to hear of her passing. She seemed to me to be very good person in general.

There was no SG politics or drama. It was just getting together to play on themed teams with people that wanted to have a good time adventuring in the City.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
