RIP Murph 1984 -2005

[Mr-Furious]

I've known Murph for years and this comes as a devestating shock. I first met him while playing NWN and we became fast friends. Lately Murph had been a key member in a modding team for nwn and will be irreplaceable.

Rest in peace, man.. without you I would never have learned how to say shit head in sign language. =\

[Thaum]

Remember seeing him around a lot and he seemed like a nice fellow. My condolences to his family and friends.

All the best Murph

[NovaBurn]

not only am i shocked at this, but deeply saddened. murph was a good friend on irc and someone whom i got along with well, like most of you here. murph wil definitely one to be missed. talk about shittinn on my day (13 hour shift at best buy then coming home to this)

FAREWELL BALANCER OF THE PIE.

also can we get some sort of contact information to send our condolences on behalf of of the community and or personal notes?

[Captain Pierce]

I've been in this thread like six times now, and I still can't come up with anything to say.

I only "knew" Murph through the forums, and not well at that, but he definitely made an impression. The boards won't be the same without him dropping into a thread, making a post that was either completely random, completely brilliant, or most often both, and then disappearing again.

Here's to ya, man: :Pint: :Pint:

[Chrysophylax]

Didn't know him besides from what he posted here. After it dawned on me that he was deaf, I remember thinking 'damn, he won't be able to hear the lovely sounds that an assault frigate makes when attacking'.

No one deserves to die that young. I hope you lead a fulfilling life, nice to see you will be missed. Condolences to the family.

[Trizzdog]

I knew Murph only by the forum posts he made, a couple of DoW games, and a couple of chats we had when he would log onto the FPL irc channel. Even tho we only had a few chats, every conversation would end with me laughing. He was witty and had a great personality.

:rip: Murph, and wish I could have known you better.

GOD speed murph rest in peace.

[Noname_MiB]

Haven't been on IRC in a long while, but back in the day he definitely made the place lively. RIP Murph =(

[Atreides]

I tried to play HW but was unable, so I played the credits and the final image compelled me to make this as a humble tribute:

[ceejayoz]

[IcecreamLtDan]

R.I.P. Murph, you will be missed.

[WhiteGulls]

Wow...

RIP, Murph. We'll miss you.

[Mr.Popo]

Just did a search of his posts, and I found his last one:

One of the things you gotta realize is that these DPS models and such do not substitute for understanding how things really work in-game.

In other words, what appears to be so on paper isn't how it's actually done.


I, for one, wish Relic never released the information on these games as far as armor, penetration, DPS, etc because it just fuels the fire for the people crying about nerfing or buffing units.

Reading that stuff is just so... weird. I'm getting on Homeworld right now, hope to see you guys there.

[MaD_hAmiSh]

RIP Murph, I never knew you, saw you around a couple of times though.

[Question]

Wow this....this is shitty.I was wondering where he went as i hadnt seen him for quite a while.Then BAM this pops up.

It makes you wonder how many people who "dissapear" do so involuntarily.

If i die,no one on the internet will probably know.

He didnt really get to do much as a dow mod........this didnt take place that long after he got the appointment.How sad.......

[Elkabeth]

I just heard the sad news today.
R.I.P mate, you will be missed.

[WedgeHG]

I didn't know Murph very well at all. The last time I remember seeing him was in a HW tourney where he and n00b formed team PRONOPRAWNS and murph smurfed as OneEyedMonster. They played an awesome game. One of the best I have ever been privlidged enough to be in. Too bad I did not get to know you better. Rest in peace man.

[Prophaniti]

Rest in Peace Murph.

Great guy, we'll miss you.

[ceejayoz]

From frst, via IRC:

<lilpunkie420> so murph do u change ur dresses everyday or do u like that green one so much u just wear it everywhere
<lilpunkie420> like in cartoons where they dont change their clothes
<murph> I wear my dress every day
<murph> but I change my underwear
<lilpunkie420> and can u tell me if there was a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow, b/c i think that there was

[Firelance]

Murph... knew him off and on since the original HW came out, really lost touch with him and most of the community a year or two ago.

RIP Murph. Enjoy the great LAN party in the sky.

[atmawpn]

RIP Murph...

[TheDeadlyShoe]

fuck.

godspeed.

[bloodthirster2]

this really brings everyone together, dang
i barely knew him but still having someone in this commuity die, it just gets you, especially a guy around for as long as him. i wish there was someway of me pay respect, all i can say is well.........RIP

I don't know if these count as practical jokes, but hey.



Another simple thing I've done was slip a condom over the tailpipe of a buddy's truck.

Those things get HUGE.

his last post tear

[Methuselath]

Murph... died.... Wow, this was unexpected.

To Murph, a good and sporting DoW player, and an excellent moderator, may the Emperor guide you soul.

[deadguy]

I'll miss you Murph. <3

[The fizu]

oh shit...bad news...

Riposa In Pace

[Moe]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a list of the tributes to Murph, including the auction. Please check it out.

[ChunkyMrEvil]

I never really spoke to Murph, but he was a forum legend. Maybe make a thread full of his best and funniest quotes along with the pictures?

[LynX]

Sad to see a member of the forum go.

[Dimension]

I am hardly able to describe my feelings of loss.

We talked for hours. I don't think my life will ever be the same without him.

I'll remember him as one who was more than a part of the community, more than someone who played games and haunted IRC. He was a funny, easy-going and profound person.

I love you man, my life won't be the same without you. Maybe I'll see you some day.

[noise_pollution]

Rest in Peace.

[The Collector]

I never knew Murph, beyond the deaf jokes and the anecdote relating to how lame it is to have a communal bathroom. Not an IRC guy, and thus it seems I have little comprehension of who Murph really was. Oh well.

GG, you're in the best hands at this point. Rest In Peace, until the end of the world.

[guardsman lover]

Even though I did not know Murph existed, Rest In Peace. May you have good times playing Dow and WA with God and His Angels and Jesus and Mary.

I cried loudly after reading the thread becuz of the loss of this great person. Man this makes life so fragile that i want to cherish it more. Reminds me of the religion teacher talking about sudden deaths and stuff.

[TheEmperor]

Never had the pleasure of knowing you mate.

Hope you're having fun, where ever you are.

[RuthlessOne]

Wow,

I've been out of town the past few days and just came home and read this.

I hope I can speak for the rest of the Space Lords Syndicate in saying, we'll miss him. He was a friend and comrade in arms. Enjoyed playing with and against him. I really don't know what to say.

I remember seeing him come on Battlecomm and wondering why he wasn't talking back to me....then having to clean some egg off my face after another SLS member told me why in a Won game chat.

Murph had a good laugh at me....then he kicked my arse in Homeworld.

Rest in Peace, Brother.

Ahhahahahaha!

[Siguld_001]

Murph was great, he was really funny.

Rest in peace mate

[reki]

Can someone (eg ion/molo or other tasteful sig makers) possibly come up with a little sig tribute?

[Kelvin]

:rip: Murph

You'll be missed.

[Artoo]

I second reki... might take a shot at that myself, but I kinda suck at tasteful sigs.

[Zatch]

Although I'd only known him for a short time, I came to appreciate his humour and am greatly saddened to see him go .

:rip: Murph, we miss you.

[IgnusDei]

Murph and I often insulted one another in IRC, often making fun of each other's weight and sexual orientation, but one of the last things he told me was that i got better at playing dow multiplayer. Saying that told me that he wasn't a complete jackass, and i'm glad he didn't go leaving me disliking him.
/me raises his glass

Here's to ya, mate.
here's to ya.

[General Nuke Em]

I have an idea for a sig - does anybody know what race and color scheme Murph liked to use in Homeworld?

[Ammon Ra]

Rip murph.

Murph was a great person, and although i knew him not as well as others here do, he shall be missed. Oh dear, i was never good at keeping them wet things out of my eyes...
