R.I.P. Frank "Seifer" Neumann

[Meiun]

I wish with all my heart that what I am about to inform you all were not true, but it appears that in a very tragic turn of events, our fellow GM, Seifer (Frank Neumann) has recently passed away. Seifer was one of the first people to ever to become a moderator for Stick Online, back when I was just a young teenager still figuring things out for the first time with the game. He has been a valued member of the community and team for close to a decade and a dear friend to countless of us.

I know much of the SO team hasn?t been quite as close-knit over the last few years as it used to be back in the day, but Seifer?s long term commitment to the game really meant a lot to me. He was a good and honest guy, and I know he will be truly missed. I will forever remember him as one of the people who helped lead the game from it's infancy up into its golden era, and beyond. He was there through it all.

In an attempt to help honor his memory, I am hoping to add some sort of small tribute to him in the new game. I am currently thinking of a statue of his V2 character, wielding his GM weapon ?Hyperion,? likely with a small plaque with his name (or something of that nature). It still seems a bit uncertain about some of the finer details to his passing, but if any of you are seeking more information, or have anything more to say related to this tragic news, there is a topic in the off topic section about the ordeal: http://www.stick-online.com/boards/index.php?topic=2628.0

Farewell my friend.
