Pray for Vel... Plus update from Chris

[Impaler[WrG]]

I have never had the oportunity to meet Vel online but I did read much of this SMAC guide and found it a wonderfully insightfull piece of work.

Unfortunatly it seems I am likly too late to get include in the Letter as it would result in an unacceptable delay to get added at this point. Let him know that what he gets is just the tip of the IceBerg.

My best wishes to Vel

oh no

send him my best wishes as well.

Velociryx has been a great contribuitor to the forums, and indeed, I still dreem of meeting him someday- he seems like such a great guy in everything he writes, programs, posts, and does.

some might think that ending with my usual smiley here would be disrespectful, however- I like to think that people who are sick generally do better when they're happy... so I'll end with a '; ) ' smiley in a minute... after a short poem.

For these three and many more forgotten by me
For your book
And your guide

Best wishes sent from deep inside.

For your games
And your skills
all the winnings, all the thrills.

And for life,
without strife.
Vel, my friend- it's all right.

You deserve the praise.

good to know that Vel is getting better.

I really think that Civ IV could have a city named Velociryx... If the game is any good, of course.

CapTVK: great idea about the collage and excellent result too.

I do not know when, but sometime this weekend, he is supposed to be moved to a small private hospital that will be closer to us. His condition has been improving, and he was smiling from ear to ear when I printed and read all of this to him.

Thanks be. Hang in there buddy.

Get well soon, Vel! When I noticed this, a flood of memories came back from when I was playing SMAC night and day and discovered your SMAX Guide, version 4.0 which drastically improved my play. Your presence here has always been level headed and directed toward helping people be better. Thank you. Looking forward to that EU2 guide!

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Vel.

Never doubted it for a second.

[Tiamat]

Good to hear.....see good thoughts really do work

[ixnay]

Boy did I miss this thread.

Good to hear you're getting better.

My prayers are with you.

[bondetamp]

Good to hear he's feeling better indeed.

Get well soon!
