Nice thought Philippe, and a very nice collection.

A late note of condolence as I haven't been frequenting ACS and other civ sites for a while.

I was most impressed with LF's results in civfanatics' GOTM and his enthusiasm and grasp of Civ II.

He will be sorely missed.

I didnt see this thread before very sad to hear another great player has left us

My condolences to his family and friends.

[Xin Yu]

Something drew me back to this forum after a long period of absence and I am utterly shocked by this sad news.

Rest in Peace, my friend.

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

[Jay Bee]

Same as Xin Yu, I have been absent for so long that I was not aware of this terrible news. Rest in peace, dear friend, and don't stop playing Civ2 wherever you are!

[Albert B]

I echo the same thoughts as those before me. I was a regular reader for a long time and a somewhat regular poster for a short one. I recall reading many posts by La Fayette and recall the tremendous effort he put into understanding the game. I was shocked to see this post and taken a bit off guard. I wish the best to all his family and hope things are going as well as can be.

I missed anniversary of La Fayette's last post. I didn't want to miss it and only Duke of Civfanatics reminded it...

I must admit I don't miss La Fayette himself, the reason is probably similar like why I don't miss I can't live on Saturn - I don't miss things that can't be ...
Maybe another reason is I meet LF again and again when going through old threads.

Pssst: We have one more day before the anniversary of the last LF post.

[SlowThinker]

My fault. I didn't realize last post here and at Civfanatics are different.

That is fun. The wit and the humanity never fail to shine through! God bless old friend, wherever you are.

Xin - I believe that you have said it all ...

My hope that Michel and Ivor are having one hell of a great PBEM in a better place than this...

A moment ago I was thinking of La Fayette with a light smile, but I went through the thread and at this point of time my mood is turned down a bit
But I don't want to impose you my emotions, you have ones of yours own...

Yes, after several hours it will be one year from La Fayette's end/start.

[Bloody Monk]

I miss him too, ST. He was a very special man, an extraordinary Civer, and a wonderful friend. There is a big empty hole that Michel left that is made all the more poignant by the decrease in particpation and activity in Civ2-land. Someday we will all be reunited and I feel sure he will treat us newcomers to some new scenarios. Now that's something to cheer one up!!

A thought goes to La Fayette and his family...

I remember how surprised I was when he addressed me in norwegian... My (swedish) mother did the reverse; she married a french man and moved to France...

Here's to La Fayette!

A toast in memoriam.

I want to add a thanks to Phillippe for putting the picture in his profile. I suppose that was back in March, or that's when I noticed it anyway.
