Default Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities

Hello, My name is Raymond and I am the brother of William Christopher, a.k.a. Atrocities, PCP Atrocities.

Since this is William's PC, it would only recognize him. Unfortunately, I do not have a PC of my own as I gave it to our younger brother some time ago.

As many of you may or may not have known, Will has been has been fighting an illness for sometime now, and yesterday, that illness overwhelmed him. It is with an utter tragic heart that today I have to inform people of this tragedy. It is very unlikely that William will ever post here, or elsewhere ever again.


It was in the event that something like this should happen that he had asked me to notify people, namely people on his forum lists that something had happened.


I know this may be viewed without concern, especially following today’s horrible events, however, William was a part of this community for over a year, and looked upon many of you as friends.


If you have question, email me at cncraymond@dopplegangers.com and I will try and answer them with respect to Will's privacy. Thank you.

I dont think that the events of the day will lessen anyones thoughts for Atrocities. He always had thoughfull things to say, and offered intelligent, measured, advice. New Age Shipyards is one of the best SE4 fan sites on the net, and Atrocities has done a lot to bring the community here together.

I am sure that everyone's best wishes go out to all those involved.

Indeed; my best wishes to Atrocities/William, as well as to you and the rest of his family. The events of the day do not lessen the personal tragedy.

I can't find better words then LazarusLong42. Let his words stand for me, too.

My best hopes and wishes go out to Will and to his family.

I don't suppose it's much consolation but you and he can be proud that he earned so much respect in this community.

His contribution will be sorely missed.

I don't know what may be wrong with him, nor do I need to. He is a valued member of this community, with an excellent grasp of many aspects of this game. He has the respect of everyone on this forum, and hopefully we _will_ here from him again. Until then, he has all of our best wishes.

As a frequent lurker in this forum, I've been struck by how much Will really liked being here- he clearly understood the game and wanted to share his passion with others. Not only that, but he was nice At any rate, I can only hope that his illness is not as severe as you suspect- he will be missed by all.
