Renegade's 22nd anniversary is approaching fast. During this time we will be limiting or even turning off our regular servers to get as many people in the event server as possible. Lets try to beat the record of 80 players from the previous anniversary!!
 

Im so sorry to hear this Deth was such a nice person with a gentle sole.
 
I mad him a Mod here like 15 or so years ago. Not a bad bone in his body
 
I hope you are in a better place my old friend
 
Say hello to Wyld and the Zman for me!!!

Rip Dethice. We played a lot of matches together over the years. You were a good dude. Has anyone tried finding other “Deth” members “aka
moonlight shakers”? 
 
you will be missed ice!

Dethice what a great guy and plyer he was. RIP my friend, I have great memories with him.
 

@Dethice had been inactive since around February. We knew he had been fighting illness for a while. I started searching ways to contact him or his family last week and found out he unfortunately passed away back in 16th of March. We don't have any more details than that as I tried contacting his family, but nobody responded.
 
We lost another community member, Dethice may you rest in peace...

My wife battled Cervical Cancer for 2 years end result all female productive parts removed and then after 2 years find out it destroyed her left Kidney as well and that as well was removed and now we may be battling incoming affect with her liver being affected as well sigh I know how this works and I hate to hear about anyone being taken down by this visions and sometimes relentless disease. You and your friends family have our deepest condolences.

Thats realy sad news 😢 rest in peace mate

Life is short enough as it is, but Losing a good friend is never easy, especially when you don’t understand why you lost them in the first place!
Thanks for great memories and the cookies.
 
Going to miss ya my Friend!!
 
RIP Wyld

Shocking and very sad news.
 
I met Wyld many years ago back in the UN days. He taught me a lot on how to find a cheat back then. He is a tuff guy, but always joked about cookies.
 
RIP Wyld

rip you will be missed but not forgoten

Wassabiiiiii!
 
Going to miss our chats old friend may you RIP. You are in a better place and my heart goes out to your wife and kids
 
Love you Cookie Monster

So sad. Wyld was a good one. I always enjoyed chatting with him.
 
Prayers for his family.

I have been trying to contact Wyld over the last few months in various ways with no luck.  He was a private person and let me know a few years ago his name and we met and hung out a few years ago.
 
Since I have had no contact, i've been searching for news,  Unfortunately im saddened to say I found he has passed away back in February.
 
Many did not know but he had been fighting cancer for a few years.  It seems the cancer was just too much.

Out of respect I will not put any personal details out there, I did contact his wife and confirmed, and she would rather it be kept private.
 
We've lost another hell of a friend. R.I.P Wyld you crazy old fucker...

Harvester walking

i forgot i made the club 
 

Loved talking to Zunnie. He always asking me to join TS or or test something for him.
 
Zunnie, thanks for all the good times on Renegade. You helped the game, kept it going for so long and provided a place for us to have fun and get away from the troubles of life for a short time. May you rest in peace. You will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family.
 

I saw this announcement via the Facebook page and I must say it upsets me greatly that Zunnie is no longer with us. 
 
He was the first person I ever became friends with on Renegade way back in 2002-2003. He took me under his wing and taught me a lot of stuff even though I was a hot headed teenager he took time to show me the ropes, even when I made mistakes or lashed out at other clan members Zunnie had my back. 
 
I regret not talking to him for the last year or so due to family/work commitments, just goes to show you never know when your time is up. 
 
I am just glad he made a legacy here and in other gaming communities so his name will live on for many years to come! 
 
Ren In Paradise old friend, condolences to his brother and the rest of the family. 
 
Hunty. 
 
P.S - the best quote by Zunnie on Teamspeak will forever be
”omg guys my dog just farted”. 
 

Zunnie invited me into his community as either a representative of Chaos or the old UT world (I have no idea).
At times like this, the word "Community" seems like an understatement.
The love and respect Zunnie showed for his community is mirrored and amplified here from the shining light that he was.
Though I only had a few conversations with him, mostly about UT and game design, they were always fun and and focused of team play.

I regret not picking his mind more often, as now his thoughts will remain his alone.
I had hoped he would get the opportunity to join the Chaos team for some beta testing fun, and help us with the team play balancing it will need.
 
The general feedback seen in this thread shows that it was not just a matter of being a nice guy, he was valuable.
Valuable as a community leader
Valuable as a modder
Valuable as a technical resource
Valuable as a friend
Valuable as an inspiration
but most of all, he was valuable as a Human being

In the older parts of the gaming world we have given a final salute to many that had their last respawn.
When it is a a Clan or Community leader it hurts in a different way. It often leads to feelings of confusion of what to do next.
That is easy, you continue to enjoy what you have, and tell the stories of all those fun times.
You can't bring him back but you can weave him into your maps and mods, and continue making him be part of gaming history.
 
You can find Clans over 20 years old that still keep the memory of their fallen comrades alive every day.
At the NewbiesPlayground for the old Unreal game, the DOG clan have a tough house bot with the name of their original leader "Old Sparky"
They have one of the servers always show his name, and on the clan site his wise old face still welcomes you every time you arrive.
Importantly, every year on the anniversary of his last respawn, the server is setup for a more  fun gathering of old friends. The event is posted in the most prominent places for the various Unreal communities to see.
Often this is a time when some of his family join to share in what he created with his friends.
Perhaps  this helps give a sense of "even though he is gone, it is not over yet".
 
Not many of us leave a genuine legacy behind us, but Zunnie is one of the few (even less gain status as an Ambassador).
To Lien Rolvink, I know it is the worst possible thing to outlive your children, but your little boy has created a legacy you can be proud of.
You gave the world something very special in your son. He was a true leader, and people don't forget that.
On behalf of the  Unreal Tournament world, thank you for lending your son to us, even for such a short time.
 
To Zunnies close friends and family;
On my weekly radio show I tend to start with a tribute to someone that just left us. This Friday I would like to dedicate the show to Zunnie and play his favourite tracks. If you could select his top 5 (or as close as you can guess) I would be very grateful.
You can use any of the contact methods in my profile you prefer.

Loved talking to Zunnie. He always asking me to join TS or or test something for him.
 
Zunnie, thanks for all the good times on Renegade. You helped the game, kept it going for so long and provided a place for us to have fun and get away from the troubles of life for a short time. May you rest in peace. You will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family.
 

I have also spoken with his brother and such a tragic end to a beautiful soul.
 
may his soul RIP and live on forever in Renegade.
 
i know I have not Been on best terms with MPF but if you could please organise a weekend of his maps in his honour I will he happy to pay for it. Just PM
 
Miss you Zman!!!!!!

I have spoken with his sister in law who has confirmed his passing.
 
i have provided her with the website upon her request
 
RIP old friend.

I've been watching this thread for a while trying to formulate my thoughts and struggling to accept this is real. This is so unexpected. This is a great loss to the community. Zunnie was always trying to help everyone and striving to help people enjoy all the games he worked on. He was the reason I became involved with MP-Gaming and eventually MPF. Throughout the years I've learned so much from and will truly miss him. He's had such an amazing effect on so many people. He was a great friend and an overall great guy.
 
RIP Jan.
