Pray for Vel... Plus update from Chris

[Capt Dizle]

most sincere thoughts

to you buddy. I remember when...with delight...you would disagree with my early game high mineral SMAC strats and do so in a way as to make me smile.

So seldom have I better enjoyed being called an idiot but that just goes to highlight your irrepressibly postive attitude. And your energy is just amazing.

I fondly remember the SMAC game we played as partners as one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences, heck, just one of the most enjoyable collaborative experiences I have ever had. I regret we were unable to finish it...we would have surely won. More importantly, it would have been fun.

You have blessed us all with enjoyment Vel. Get well, and when you do, I'd like to drag my tired old butt down for a visit to finally meet a good friend, a visit long overdue and at this point, much anticipated.

You've one backwoods Baptist praying for you Vel, don't know how much good it'll do, but rest assured any lack of results will not reflect a lack of effort, hope or faith.

See you later pal,

I will add it to the list. But at the moment it is getting late. So here's my plan:


[list=1][*]Time is an issue. Vel's condition seems to be serious so it is important we do this right now![*]We still need to send the collage to Vel. Anyone who hasn't posted yet, please do. I'll include your avatars tomorrow morning.[*]The collage needs to be printed.[*]Mailing it from Europe would take too long. Someone in the US has to mail it to Vel.[/list=1]

Actually, while I don't have access to a good printer I might be about to figure something out. If someone with close access to Vel will get me the appropriate info I'll just drive down there (assuming he is in a hospital near Columbia) and visit him. I don't have anything I have to do in the morning and I can make that drive in about 3 hours. If anyone thinks this is a good idea and can give me the info as to where and when to visit please PM me. I'll check tonight when I get back.

Here, it might be better if you use my Iwo Jima one. I had changed it to a purple Candle'Bre to show support for Vel.

PS- It would replace the CB Shield in the upper left corner.

While I haven't settled on an avatar for a while, this one got noticed the most...

irritated -JRabbit, anyway.

I'm not ashamed to say I shed a few tears reading that first post. It seems weird to have those emotions about a guy I've never met, but that's the kind of guy Chris is.

You aren't the only one.

Awsome work on the collage CapTVK. I hope it helps Chris realise he has many people who have him in their prayers.

I realise it is late, but could you please add mine. He's bound to know whose it is.

Hope he gets well soon.

Didn't see mine in the first go-around and for some reason, I can't get the second image onscreen.

You're in both the black and white versions, Hex. Near the top

[Whaleboy]

Oh yeh you can add mine if you wish

The scary part is that I associate most of the avatars with the respective posters, quickly. Avatars such as Skanky's aren't easy to forget .

My first impression was exactly this, too.


But it's kinda scary to see my raccoon right underneath the lion . . . . .

Wow, that's an awesome collage there!

It's in, everyone is in right now but I am running out of space. Some of you might have to search a bit to find it.

Don't worry, you're on seperate layers. Your avatar is quite safe for now (until I merge them of course).

This still is Apolyton, so here's a counter-collage with a more 'civilized' look...

Great work.
