![]() This park was named in memory of Rucket, a respected and well known member of the AWP community in May 2008. This thread has been put together with the help of many other members of this community; showing their respect for this Icon. A Short Biography: Rucket was recruited in one of the three or four recruiting runs done by the nation "Jess0rz" in early July 2007. She never got credit for recruiting him... During this time he also contributed to the building of the AWP RDF. Together with Neasmyrna and Death or Life they were a small addition to the massive armies of the FRA and TITO, but he planted the seeds for our modern RDF which is now right up with the top defenders in the game. Although Rucket went on less than ten successful missions together with Neasmyrna he brought the RDF into the "updater age" going on precise liberation missions entering a dozen nations into a region within a minute or two. He was made an administrator of the forum and helped make the forum what it is today. He had 3,000+ REAL posts within a two month time span and it looked like he would never stop. But he did. While on an RDF mission in the defense of The Rejected Realms, he disappeared. He last logged onto the forum October 28th 2007. His nation stayed alive well into November as it was logged into twice while in The Rejected Realms, both after reaching 7-10 days inactive. But after a second log into his nation... Nothing ever happened again. He has not responded to multiple e-mails sent to his account and has never been seen to log onto his MSN or AIM. he left without saying good-bye. We all hope he is ok, and even hold onto the hope he may show up again some day... Comments made by fellow members:
Forum Stats Joined 29-August 07 Total Cumulative Posts 3,115 ( 8.39% of total forum posts ) Posts per day 12 Money 32,090 Positions held: RDF MEMBER MINISTER OF EDUCATION MEMBER OF SENATE OFFICIAL CARTOGROPHER RECRUITER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AWP INQUIRER REGIONAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN ADMINISTRATOR This thread was drafted so as to get "facts, thoughts and opinions" together so as to sum up of our memories at the moment we name something after him.
The names are the names of the nation she sent messages to and the smiley marked the one who arrived in the region. He was recruited on July 7th and joined our old forum on July 9th at 12:38pm PDT. This was perhaps the lowest period of activity in the regions history. Neasmyrna was active in 10,000 Islands and was just keeping AWP alive. Rucket was the only real active member on the forum at that time. He continued to be active on the forum even when no one else really was. At the end of August Neasmyrna made the decision after much debate to return 100% to AWP. This done, it soon became apparent we needed a new forum. So at the end of August, we moved here. Here is the message that was sent (by rucket) at about this time:
After this, with the recruiting of both Neasmyrna and Rucket the region quickly rose from about 130 nations to 200+ within a 2 months. Rucket recruited, most notably: Ranholn Torchevon & Numero Capitan Three of our current six senate members! Here is his entire recruiting profile:

A lot of what can be said has been said apart from personal feelings. I always saw Rucket as someone who had a geniune care for AWP from day one. He is one of the members I most respected while he was here and I miss him and his input in importnat matters now he is gone. Hopefully he will return one day and is alive and well in the RW. |

He was exactly what A World Power was all about, he saw his and our vision and worked tirelessly towards it. He had ambitions of one day becoming our delegate too. If he were still here I have no doubt that we would be at around 500-600 nations, not just from his recruiting but from the energy and activity he created too. |

Some people will be as involved as possible and still get bored with something, and need a change. I'm sure he's doing fine, but I do hope that he is living a life he enjoys. He is sorely missed and always shall be. |

Recruiter, newspaper founder, active spammer.... he was involved with everything here and has left his mark on every aspect of the region and the forum. Even though I joined after he cte'd, I almost feel like I know him. |

No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein | |

Maybe Rucket was in the military and was called to duty. It seems unlikely, but possible. |

he still would have been able to let us know he was leaving unless they ran into his house and dragged him off
