	OMG!!!! Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Just back from a business trip (ironically, to the UK) and opened this thread...

I can't begin to express my shock and sadness. Ivor (with Stu) welcomed me to succession gaming. He counselled me with practical knowledge, strategic wisdom, and his trademark wry, clever humor. My life, both online and off, was enriched for having (virtually) known him, and will be the poorer for his tragic death.

To Stu and (3), I offer my sincere condolences. Would that I could offer more.

To (2), I wish godspeed and a peaceful eternal rest.

I never knew SG(2), but whenever I saw a post from him it was clear he was well respected and a friend to many here, many who I would consider friends as well.

Forgive me, words just seem inadequate

When i first stumbled upon the apolyton forum I had previously been a member of the civ fanatics forum, and what drew me here is the energy and passion for the game that I found in many of the posts. SG[2] was among the most fervent Civ 2 players and masterfully played, or rather dominated, every area of the game. i would login just to read some of the SG's posts and learn from thier posts, SG[2] was the first person i emailed my questions too and he encouraged me to make an effort to learn more about the game and become a better player, which has now played into my RL, bringing to light a knowledge hungry part of my mind I had never given any thought to.

I was joyed to hear of the addition of SG[3], and saddened by the loss of SG[2], he was a central part of what has become an online "family" and will be deeply missed.

Very sad news for all of us, as these forums were enlivened by his enthusiasm and wit.

My condolences to SG[1] and {3}.

I believe that souls never perish and that the place where they reside has become enriched by his presence.

What a sad shock! I have enjoyed SG(2)'s posts since the early days of the OCC fortnightly challenges. It was never just the analytical perspective - the imagined image of the pair of SGs deep in their cups merrily enjoying their CivII evenings has been a wonderful characteristic of these forums. I will think of him every time I build an Ironclad.

We have all lost a good companion.

I am so saddened to hear this

Although I haven't really seen SG(2) around poly much lately, perhaps because of my absence, I remember him very strongly as one of the characters on this board, and a sad loss for this community indeed. I don't think there is much else I can say, just that my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Rich.

It seems my restriction is lifted in a fitting moment, so I can express my condolences.

Like Provost, I can't say I remember too much of him, since I haven't been posting on-topic too much recently, but I do know he was one of the big ones here; I also remember him from several Other Games discussions, and will always remember him as one of the coolest posters, despite the different generations.

Forgive me for intruding into a forum I've only just discovered, and to which I don't belong, but I wanted to express my gratitude to you all for your very moving expressions of condolence. Ivor was my cousin, an extraordinary man with an enormous sense of humanity - a man who bore private tragedies with great strength and grace.

He had a very wide range of friends in the real world - a huge gathering attended his funeral - and it's now obvious to me that he generated a huge affection in the virtual world as well.

Ivor came from a background of intellectual rigor - his father, Jim, taught himself Russian and - despite the fact he never went to Russia - was a published translator of Russian books. His uncle Peter, who died earlier this year, was a renowned psychologist (google on the Wason Selection Task) and a leading international chess player and author.

But your tributes to Ivor say more about him than I can, so thank you again, and - rest in peace, cousin Ivor.

i haven't played Civ2 in a while, and haven't posted on these forums much more than a few times in the past year...but it is so sad to hear about the passing of a member. I'm not sure if there's been many times we've had the ability to be informed of a poster's death...but it is good to know that there was in this case, that way we can recognize the reasons for his absence and not spend time wondering why.

Sounds like he was a good guy Rest in Peace, SG2, and my condolences to those who knew him either on the boards or in person.
