I would like to pass on my condolences to Jim's family. I only knew Nematode briefly as gamer who upheld the Polite and Friendly way.
Rest In Peace.

RIP my friend, you will be missed.

speechless

I'm at a loss for words...

Nematode, you were the clever wordsmith, the one whos writing always challenged and taught me, even when you were cajoling me about my repeated absence from the top gun games.  I fear that my prose is not enough to do you, my brother, justice.  

You were a great man and a great wit.  Your every word was a challenge, to better oneself, in game and in reality. You saw the humor in every situation, and knew just when to unload with a witty remark to defuse potentially ugly arguments.  In the matches, you had a preternatural grasp of the strategies of our enemies, as soon as contact was made.  

Nematode, Jim,  you are sorely missed. Your sense of humor, your level head, and your brotherhood are memories I, and all of us shall treasure forever.

Sad news.  Might I suggest we alter our tags in tribute for the remainder of the month?

^ seconded, [*BK* Nema]?  or is that too long?

I was saddened deeply to hear of Nematode' passing from a heart attack. I heard several people say Nematode had taught them how to play the game or how to shoot a bolt. I believe he can teach every one something more from his passing. As a heart attack survivor myself, I can assure you that heart attacks are no respector of anyone- it can happen to all of us no mater how healthy we may feel that we are. In my case, I had never really been sick and was not overweight, and I have always been active. None the less, I had my own attack after putting up with  warning signs [pain] for about a year.   I have heard some people in the last few days on T/S complaining of arm or chest pain. DO NOT IGNORE THE WARNING SIGNS. I  don't know if Nematode had any warning, but if he did, I'm sure he would tell us to heed them.  Rest easy Nematode, and may GOD bless your family and give them comfort.

In world at war we are wearing NEM for clan tags, I'll donate my tags to *BK NEMA* for BC2

RIP, Nematode. You will be missed.
