Shadow

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...

Just heard about this  Knew Zunnie since the FM Server days when I was still a kid, I remember him gifting me a few games on steam when I couldn't afford them back when he barely knew me which I really appreciated. He was always up for a chat and treated you like a friend immediately, the countless hours helping him test his various mods for renegade and him telling me how the coding behind it works I found so interesting...  RIP zunnie you'll be missed.

Dudley: Checking logs lastnight, I'm pretty sure it was TurboAOW > OmegaAOW > UltraAOW
Was going to add you into the PM conversation, I can't now. 
 
 
Was trying to get people from Yahoo days like FmCee. If you guys used Yahoo Messenger back then, you might want to send any messages/email requests in it now. They're closing it down July 17th. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/messenger/SLN28776.html?impressions=true
 
In case he doesn't make it to these topics, vsutp replied:
 
If you guys have emails of people, use them. Here's some of the oldy nicks:

I'll see what I can find, but I don't think there's anything left that predates OmegaAOW. I used to have the old CTF and AOW maps and I really wish I could find them, but they're just too old. UltraAOW, CrazyCTF, ...that were good times with zunnie ❤️

We do have one old server up right now if anyone wants to bop around in it. This one I think is where zunnie and crew started using purchasable buildings and poke scripts.

I met zunnie over at mp-gaming about 7 years ago he was such a nice guy to talk to and so passionate for this game and his projects.
I continued following him over at mpf and played tcw with him.
 
I was looking through some logs from 2011... and found this
 
(14:02:31) <zunnie> you want me to gift you CS:Source?
(14:02:38) <zunnie> i can buy it and then you can play with us
 
what a guy ❤️
zunnie you'll be missed so much. RIP buddy 

When I woke up to all the notifications about this, I wasn't quite sure how to to take it.  It just didn't seem real, I even checked to see if its april fools day or something.
 
He was one of the greatest guys i've met,  never witnessed him mad much.  always helping, always doing anything he can, without thinking of himself.  
 
Truly was a great man. He'll be missed.  I hope his family is ok,  he always talked to me about his nieces he loved so much.   May he rest in peace.

Do any of you have the old servers we used to run back in FM days? Like the ones that preceeded OmegaAOW, the oldies that pretty much made z famous. I know one was the FM CrazyCTF by Jessica, but I can't even remember the name of the one that had the agt/obi guns when we merged with DT. 
 
It'd be nice to be able to do the oldy servers in tribute as well, I have a copy of that omega one.

zunnie is the man who brought me on board back in the FanMaps site days and the first MP sites. we use to stay up all night and day on TeamSpeak drinking coffee and modding & Mapping Renegade, counter strike unreal and so on. Zunnie you have changed a lot of life's and made some dam good friends. and will be Missed by all. 
My condolences to his family and friends.
