Static
Lenshu innovator, single player rockstar, staff machine and overall bundle of sunshine.
He knew every inch of this game like the back of his hand, but more importantly he was a wonderful human being that the community will miss deeply.
RIP, a real legend.
Static was vastly talented within the world of Toribash. He was a Lenshu innovator, helping train the current best of the best, and set the bar for the modern competitive scene in the mod. He was able to translate this knowledge and skill to other areas flawlessly, particularly ABD and single player replay making. He was an educator, and selflessly strived to elevate those around him. His tenure as staff speaks volumes about his commitment to helping others. He worked as Event Squad, and Clan Squad; bringing positive change in the game and also to the staff that worked with him. His ability to lighten every situation made even the herculean tasks seem manageable, and through his work touched many lives here. This community will feel a thousand times smaller without his huge presence, and it is with great humility that we, as a community, honour his passing by inundating him into the hall of legends, where he belongs. On behalf of all of us, thank you.
I remember back when I was active on toribash almost every day I used to always challenge him to fight me and that I promised him I would beat him this time or the next or the next after that this was never the case though, if I ever had beaten him it was purely luck or me doing a move that was so strange that both of us would never have guessed the outcome, I wanted to beat him so bad because I looked up to him just for the statue that he made of himself I never really knew him that well nor did he know me that well.
We just came across each other, well I went looking for him in rooms but the way he carried himself and how he was to all of the people in our community, the amount of times I joined duels he had just to watch how he plays and to learn how to better my own moves I wanted to insert myself into his friend group, I know that this legend we called static has his spot in heaven, I just wish I was around more these past 2 years just to have had 1 more encounter or banter or duel with him.
seeing the threads about it really made me shed some tears, [Saint]Inuyasha had told me about it and I was in disbelief and shock I think I still need to process it but having said all that I wish homie to rest in peace and may he always be reminded as the legend he was.
Love you static always ~Softdubs
