Hi Walrus I know this is a long shoot well acually a really long shot
but i figured i give it a shot my name is Shermi from The SIrens.

Way
back in beta we had a party to raise cancer aware ness i am not sure if
you remember you came to the party and also send an let as flood. We
were really touched by that gesture.

It was for one of our own Scorpia
she had an brain cancer and that is why we did the party ok well this
is my idea i am not sure if it is possible cause i know you all don't
like doing special favor wich show favoratisim lol sorry for the
spelling

Scorpia condition was terminal and as far as we heard I belive she passed on.

The
request that i have is this there is an npc a mission contact that was
in the club duality in appolon named raini she has the same look,
outfit and body shape as Scorpia's Ris i belive that she must have allways got a kick out of that.

I was going to put in a petition to see if it could be renamed from Rainie to Scorpia and ofcourse not put Sirens tag on it cause i don't want the hole community to say you all are playing favorites.

Like
i said i don't know if this is possible if it will even matter to send
in a petition to soe i know you all are very bussy and maybe i should
wait until later to ask or to even ask.

Just a question to honor
a player that help out in beta, the sirens and the hole mxo community
after all she won the first ever best dressed rsi in a community run
event .

Well that is all if you have time to read this and let
me know if this is at all possible in even 1% chance of getting this
looked at i will submite a petition.

Thanks for your time and your hard work on the game.

thanks

Scorpia was an angel.

A friend of mine from the Halo community was immortalized by having his voice in a cutscene in every Bungie title since Halo (yeah, I know that's only 2 so far, but they swore they would keep doing it).

He lost his battle with Ewing's Sarcoma the morning after Valentine's Day. We all knew him as the defender of <3. Read more about his and his family's battle here.

I think it would be a great show of kindness on the MxO Team's and SOE's part to honor Scorpia's memory in a mannor similar to the one requested. I realize that the name "Raini" is part of the original brother's Matrix bible and is printed in numerous story and game guides, making it unlikely to be changed. However, purhapse we might see Scorpia appear in the new and improved Richland as some form of information guide?

I am assuming that she is no longer with us. I never met her but if she really did touch that many peoples lives than a minor change to the game as a form of honoring her wouldnt be to much to ask for.

Scorpia was a great friend to me, and all of the Sirens. It amazed me
how positive she was, even in the face of her health. She was never
negative, bitter, or any of that. As of this point, we don't know if
she is still with us, and we can't get in contact with her or her
family, but either way - Shermi's idea sounds wonderful, and it makes
me happy to think that she couldbe honored, and leave her mark on a
game that she loved.

Thank you to all who have signed so far.

Its always bad to hear things like this, and you know, just wish well for her friends and family, i dont know the person, but this sounds like a real cool thing to request and shows that you guys cared for her, dont know if the devs will do this, since it could start a trend of ppl making requests, but ill sign for this too.....

it would really show the community player-dev relationship if it was
somehow done. maybe a hardline named after her? or a monument?

Definetely....everyone send this post in a CCR

**Kaspanova**

make that.. feedback & suggestions..

petitioning this, although such a good idea, would be like forcing them to do it, juat asking is the nicest way.

feedback & suggestions folks. :smileyhappy:

I really think this would be a good thing...

But in order for this to happen someone of importance will have to read
this of course, and since walrus left for vacation we can all easily
see how much interaction we can expect from dev's and other influencial
people here...

and I also think the "Dev Tracker" function should be renamed, something like "Odobenus rosmarus Tracker" cause thats what it really seems to be...

Even though I never knew Scropia. I am amazed at this story because a lot of people these daays are extremely negative and to be positive in the face of such an illness requires the greatest of hearts.

Scorpia and I were very close in the last few weeks before she left us,
she and I had a complex relationship but one I cherish and hold dear. I
miss her terribly since she decided to take a break from MxO and was
not heard from again. Repeated requests for information from her
husband have gone unasnwered, leading me to believe that she has passed
away and he is busy grieving for his wife.

Even thinking about her after these past few months makes me start to
tear up. The pain of losing her is still fresh and the uncertainty of
her fate makes it worse.

This is no an unprecedented request in the MMO community. Sony has
honored several of their fallen guides with persistant NPCs in CSHome,
the Guide zone on EQ, each tells the story of the guide and of their
passing, it is a very touching tribute that brought tears to my eyes, a
total stranger to the fallen ones.

Cryptic Studios honored a veteran beta tester of City of Heroes
who was killed shortly after release when , if a I recall correctly, he
was hit by a drunk driver.

I was part of the effort to place at the very least a memorial statue
of him in Paragon City, no matter how small and insignificant. They
upped the bar and placed his avatar in the tutorial zone as the
final contact before you enter the city. Every new player who joins
that game meets Coyote before he sends them off to protect the city.

Scorpia was a dedicated player, she played daily, even on some days
when she was too sick to get out of bed. Yet in speaking to her and
spending time with her you would never know she was sick. She was
always willing to listen to your problems and be a shoulder to lean on
when you needed it. She never told you that she was too tired or
too sick to talk, she would even appologize for needing to take a nap
to get her strength back.

In short Scorpia was the epitome of the Sirens, class, grace and a
caring nature. And she was a fantastic member of this community, always
willing to lend a hand, even to complete strangers.
