What?? Really?? wait is this joke?? Tabris dead?? Oh man, this is really sad for the community he was a good guy very good guy, hope your soul will rest in peace brother!!! You will be always part of this community
I have many fond memories of him, from banter between our BDM| and [LN] characters way back when, to making moderating fun together, plus working side by side as story developers. He always provided great insight, steady reasoning, and apt humor as we sorted through things. I would like to have seen him succeed me as head story developer, and perhaps awaiting his return from that vacation gave me pause for my considerations of retirement.
While I missed the vigil in 52, I had a shot of my best vodka in his honor.
I appreciate @Durandal for letting me know, and I have reached out to a couple of other former development members as well. But alas, I do not have @jammi's current contact information (nor most people's, since the Skype exodus). Can someone do me a favor by reaching out to him?
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
