Hang in there vel.
We're all hoping for that high saving roll.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I think it would be a good idea to either print this thread out for him. Or create another card thread, or maybe both.
Knowing that people are pulling for you in this kind of time helps I think. It can't hurt anyway, and I'm sure it will ease his pain a bit.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

My thoughts are with you, Vel.
Come back to us safe and strong.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I like the idea of sending a card, but that idea could get quite time cumbersome and time consuming. If 20 people wanted to participate and we assume it takes 2 days per person to send the card around (which is quite fast, especially if the card would have to go around the entire world), it would take some 40 days for Vel to get the card. And of course, the more people participate, the longer it takes. It would be much easier and faster (and probably make an even bigger impression on Vel) if everyone sent their own card. I don't know if it's possible to send the card directly to the hostipal where Vel is, then noone's privacy would be jeopardised either...Originally posted by Snowflake
I also just leant this two days ago. I have an idea, that if we could get a card to him, signed by many Poly members, that might be a nice surprised to him, and may lift his spirit a bit. I have PMed Gil to see if there is an address we could send the card to if we could pull through something like that.
The idea is one member would PM another member he/she trusted his mailing address and the card will be forwarded to him/her, and so on. I know some of us already have RL contact of each other. Val is a great member that has contributed so much to many forums of this site. I would really hope that we could do something for him.Comment

Good point. And I'd assume that with Candle'Bre persons, SMACers and people elsewhere, it could easily be 40 and more people who would like to send the card.
Maybe Hex himself could ask for the mailing address of Vel's hospital (assuming they accept mailings). It would be great.

I'll post a question in 'Candle'Bre Private' for Gil to post it when he reports back. It'll be a wait-and-see because I do not know anyone who knows Chris personally to contact for that info.Originally posted by Solver

I also believe that I have Chris' home address somewhere, but I will have to track it down. I'm a little leery of posting private addresses though.

We could all just PM someone like you to ask for the address, or say "me" in a thread, and that someone could PM it to us. No need to post it anywhere public.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment
