The hardest post I've ever had to write...

This is so hard to do right now. I remember the first time I logged on to JK2, my buddy Jove told me to get the game and come find him in alehouse. He taught me some basics, then these 2 guys came in FoU Step, FoU Tiberious.I some how managed to piss off Step and he began to hunt me, so Jove started dealing with him and whispers "see that Tiberious guy, hes cool, go kill him, he sucks". Sure enough, Tibs at the other end of the map in a huge ffa that wasn't there when he came in. It didn't matter if I killed him or he killed me, there was always the "Tiberious: noob" that followed. And to this day, it still makes me smile every time. I'm going to miss standing there whispering to a fellow MotF, only to get blasted from a randomly spawned Tib. And playing the "Tibby Game" with Jove and Vash. You know I think he planed this, so that when its our time and we are standing at the gates and start to walk in, he'll get to be the first one to dfa us from the other side. We've all teased him about being old. I've jokingly said Tibby would be the last person to log off of jk2 when it was dead. I never thought this day would come, and i'm really sad to see that it has.We'll all miss you Pops, more than any of us realize we will.~Omega

I heard about this last night from Ardy. I could hardly believe what he told me. I was shocked to hear that Tibby had died. I can still remember the first time I played with Tibby, back in '03 when I first started playing JK2, he was the first person to give me some tips on how to play. I gamed with him on an off for a while, but really didn't get to know him until he joined FoU. Tibby was someone who I always enjoyed being around, somone who I really looked forward to seeing. I hadn't gamed with him in quite a while when I heard about this, but Tibby was one of the people that I've gamed with who I will never forget.Rest in peace Tibby, you'll be remembered.

Reading the news of Tibby's loss, all I can think of is that we believe we have felt the greatest of losses, and then we are here to witness the news of today. To me, Tibby was JKII. He was there through everything, resolute to keep going to the end. I miss him dearly and I can't think of a better man that I met in the entire time of playing. Tib had humor, respect, integrity, and guidance to offer at any time. He offered himself and it meant the world to me to play with him. Tibby saw the twilight years of JKII and never had to unfortunately witness the death of the game...I called him the old man and teased him about dying but god I would only want to play/talk to him one more time. He created (in my mind) the Spike in JKII and I will always call it being, "tibbed." I miss you all ready old man and I feel JKII/the world has lost a great player. R.I.P. Tibby/Richard, I will miss you greatly. -Derek L/JotR FireMedic-

Reality just cannot sink in right now. Tibby is one of the main reasons why i joined FoU. This is a perfect example on how we cannot take the people we love for granted. I dont think he will ever be forgotten.R.I.P. to a very good friend to us all. We love you Tibby..
