I flew with and talked with Vile Rat almost daily. He helped create what EvE is today. It may seem strange that people are making a big deal out of his gaming career but he helped lead a coalition of over 25,000 EvE players. His diplomatic skills created something unprecidented in the gaming community. He did all this while serving with our embassies all over the world. The gaming community was reporting on the event even before the news outlets did because we were talking to him on Jabber as it happened. RIP

A fundraiser is underway to help collect some money for his family and for the children's future college expenses. I am sure any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=9332&url=benefitforseansmithsfamily |

Very nice tribute. I haven't played Eve in a couple years, but I still recall the name Vile Rat...if I go through old logs, I'm sure I'll see his name a time or two! As a retired Air Force member, I understand what serving it "hotspots" means. He, along with every other member of the various services which serve in such overseas spots, are heroes. They put their lives at risk daily, for the sole purpose of trying to bring another day of peace to this world. My prayers to his family, friends, coworkers, and other loved ones who must now deal with his loss.
RIP Mr. Sean Smith. |

I've never played EVE, I'm not part of that community, but I am a fellow former service member, and my heart-felt condolences go out to Sean's family for the amazing level of BS he had to endure in the final minutes of his life. God bless the warrior's.

Eve is one of those great games I haven't played since trying it out because I have too much gaming on my plate already, but despite not being part of that community, much less knowing Sean, this brings the tragedy home to me. Very sorry for the loss to those who knew him, his family, and for us all; he was clearly one of the good guys. The people that killed him and everyone else at the embassy must not understand the damage they do to our respect for their beliefs, nationality, and culture. It is almost impossible to avoid believing people like that are insane, and so form the opinion that we need to take drastic measures to protect oursleves. Hopefully we will be able to keep a clear head without letting this incident go unpunished.

Can't believe ppl took the time to use this as a platform to troll or be negative about others being sad about a person loosing their life, even harder to believe same said folks came back for a second shot to justify/sell what they do with their time. Takes all types I guess but I also guess those being negative are not so 'tolerant' of other's opinons, beliefs or the fact that it takes all types. This is a tribute go wipe your dirty feet elsewhere. To VR, never knew you m8 but I hope your family adjust and move on eventually and to you 'vaya con Dios'. o7 |
