This is an 'FYI' for anyone who has known a Trade Wars player and icon that, for the past few years, goes by the name of bob. bob passed away at the young age of 51 on April 1, 2008 of yet unknown causes. wow... hard to fathom... I just talked to him a few days ago... bob will be missed. He was not only my regular corpie, he was my friend. Much of what I learned in Trade Wars is because of his efforts to make me a better player. Yes, he pushed the limits of the game. If there was a loophole in the rules, he'd find it and use it. And although many of you may not agree with me, he never cheated. I've been his corpie for well over two years on a very regular basis... This game and the entire TW community is a better place for having him around as long as we did. Most of the time he'd use an alias, but we all knew who he was, as his game play was unmistakable. I can only hope to be half the TW player he was.

I now give a farwell salute to one my most trusted corpies, dear friend, and one of the most knowlegable players this game will ever know. He SD'd many of the "elite", taught many a newbie, and should forever be remembered as one of the most colorful players to grace the TW world...

Bye bob, you will be sorely missed...

Anyone find out what happened??

Would like to know if possible..

Its hard to believe.. like filth said.. it hasnt been long since ive talked to him. My last icq message did go unanswered on 3-27.
