Tar-Ancalime hasn't been here for months... I wonder what's happened to her.

Also, some really active members have been alarmingly silent these days (take Ang for an example), but I guess it's the summer holiday that should be blamed here...

Garin had some major things in life come up. I'm not sure if he will be coming back anytime soon but if I speak to him again, which may be soon I'll let him know he is missed.

I should have done this a long time ago, but for those who knew him, Garin or Craig, lost his battle with alcoholism a few months ago and died. The last 2 years were very difficult for him and he had pushed his body to the point of no return. For those interested his friend wrote this memorial. I'm sure it would make Garin extra happy if next time you play WW you were extra brash and abrasive.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I didn't know him well, but I played a few ww games with him and I remember the wit and the temper that clearly come through the memorial. Thanks for posting it, morm.

That is so sad. Addiction is a terrible affliction and so hard to deal with both for the sufferers and the people around them. I didn't know him beyond the WW games but I certainly remember him from them - it was nice not to be the only volatile player!!!
