Please accept my best wishes for a speedy recovery Vel. I've appreciated your posts in the SMAC forum as well as your EU2 AARs for a long time now. I have your SMAC guide on my pc even today. I appreciate your efforts to raise the level of discourse about some of my favorite subjects both intellectually and in terms of tone, and I hope you will be back in the saddle as soon as possible.He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

Good grief! I’m away for a few day, and this. Vel first gave me the courage to actually participate the SMAC, and his leadership here at Apolyton and personal touch helped bring the game alive. I’ve seen his effect on people and I only wish I had a tiny fraction of that charisma, and raw intelligence – a powerful combination. All I can say is that he inspires others to be their best, and that is a very rare gift.
A card with my heartfelt good wishes goes into the mail today.
GET BETTER CHRIS!

Glad I saw Locutus's post about Vel in the CtP2 forum. I do keep track of the other projects and see how they are doing. I had noticed that Candle Bre had been a bit slow for a while but I wasn't aware he had become so ill.
I hope he quickly recovers.

Yes that is true. I don't know. I just thought that it would be more special for him if he gets one card with multiple people's name on it. I guess not many people would want to do it, so for the people who would do it, it won't be lasting forever. Even if he's already well recovered when he receives it, it is still special, isn't it?
Here's an idea. Collect everyone's avatar from this thread. Print them out together on a single sheet and put in on a large "get well card".Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Dear Vel,
Sorry you haven't been well. I have really enjoyed your strategy guide for SMAX and have re-read it several times. It always inspires me to play the game again, which I always find inspiring because it paints a picture of humanity's future which offers hope. So I thank you for drawing me back to that game, and for the mental excercise your writing gives me.
Get well soon.

Get Well Vel...
I didn't know mods had such powerful magic. I abase myself before the mods, in great fear and trepidation.

I can't begin to express my gratitude for your thoughts on Civ 3 when it was first released. Truly golden stuff.
May you recover speedily to good health
