The Wake

Main Page • Brad's Passing • Brad Glore • Athair Bas • Spacer one • The Log On Friday 11th September 2009, the well-loved Urban Dead player Brad Glore passed away after suffering a heart attack. During his time with the game, Brad, a genuinely nice, easy-going and friendly man, made many friends, especially in the groups Legends of Darkness and the Spartans. To commemorate his life and passing, and to honour his Irish-American roots, a traditional Irish wake was organised in-game. By bringing his friends and admirers, and those who just wished to say a few kind words, together in an Irish-named pub, players from all sides of the game were able to lay aside their differences for a few days and pay tribute to Brad's life. This page was created afterwards in order to preserve the wake for those who missed it, or for those who wish to look back upon it and reflect. Brad's Passing The Wake In order to respect Brad's roots as an Irish-American (especially given his own love of his heritage), a list of suitably Irish-sounding venues was compiled, and eventually The Doran Arms was chosen for its location and its fitting name. Players from all sides of the game, be they player-killers, bounty hunters, zombies or death cultists, all dropped their grudges and conflicts to co-exist peacefully during the wake, declaring complete neutrality and peace during the official duration of the wake. The agreed start time was midnight (British Summer Time) of Friday 18th - Saturday 19th, continuing for three days over the weekend until midnight of Monday 21st - Tuesday 22nd September. A full log of all that happened at the wake can be found here. Personal Comments Please add your comment to the list below by preceding it with an asterisk (*) and sign with it four tildes (~~~~).
