Thank you as well for the kind words(both here and in PM).

That said: I am guessing our great and benevolent OP likely doesn't mind the small bit of "derailing", given the situation and the words expressed by all. :)

=============

To everyone else:

With J's blessing having been given, there may still be a contest of sorts for this year's "talk like a pirate day"....either me and a few others(if they agree to and want to do it that way), or me on my own(albeit a smaller one if I go that route).

So a'fear ye not, Mateys. Raise and Hoist the Mainsail and prepare to set sail....for treasure will likely soon await ye!

(Pirate talk aside, I received J's ok to go ahead & am in contact with a few others, and will see which way the contest will go.....but whether by combining forces or on my own, there will be a contest for Sep 19th...that I promise :))

My deepest condolences to J on the passing of B. My the passage of time assuage your grief and preserve his memory

“Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.”

― William Penn, Some Fruits Of Solitude

I'm truly sorry to hear about his passing, I didn't talk to him much but like a lot of others, I enjoyed his Talk Like a Pirate Day giveaways. For what it's worth, you have my condolences, J

I'm sorry for your loss, i saw some of his giveaway and even his participation on the forum in general and he seems a good guy.

OMG I don't know how I did not see this.... I am so very sorry for your loss Bjgamer

I am sorry for your loss madam, my condolences. We will remember him well.

I am very sorry for your loss. That is a truly awful disease. My condolences. :-(

My condolences, that is really rough. I hope that you can feel encouraged and strengthened soon. May grace, mercy, and peace be given to you.

Head's up to all who might want to know:
(sorry for the offtopic)

My own smaller contest for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" will hopefully start tonight at around midnight EST, on the change from the 17th to the 18th.

Also another contest will also likely be started by another user(s) at some point as well...might be around when mine starts or after(still working out the details with those users)....and will (afaik) be more focused on B and J themselves.

Both contests will likely be linked via a URL link in their OP posts if they fall around the same time or close to it.

I know it's kinda... well... not polite but I would like to nominate OHMYGODJCABOMB for Revenant.

Thank you, but I have to reject the nomination because I already own this game. (:

there goes my whim to look nice and all that jazz...

It's the thought that counts. :)

May I request Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition?

Granted.
