It just amazes me how much you come to know and appreciate a user name as a personality, even though you never know, or really even wonder about, who they really are and what their real name is. And somehow when the news comes like this, it really strikes you that there was a person with loved ones and a real life behind the avatar.

Godspeed Jon Wilson.

That's a damn shame. In all of Games Workshop rumordom, I can't think of a better-known poster.

There is something romantic about taking the identities of his sources to the grave, albeit unintentionally.

Damn shame.

"The last known instance of common sense happened at a GT. A player tried to use the 'common sense' argument vs. Mauleed to justify his turbo-boosted bikes getting a saving throw vs. Psycannons. The player's resulting psychic death scream erased common sense from the minds of 40k players everywhere. " - Ozymandias

Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers,
wherein we humbly pray Thee
to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Jon, whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world,
that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light,
and bid him be partaker with Thy Saints.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.
