Fare Thee Well MechWarrior

I remember Brian "Neuromancer" Bisson, founder of MechWarriorLeagues, 1968 - 2007.......This is about the death of a MechWarrior in the BattleTech universe. I wrote this in remembrance of, and to say good-bye to, all those MechWarriors that have passed-on while playing the MechWarrior PC game. I also wrote it to express my hope that they find their eternal rest. Please feel free to use the comments section of this page to record the names of those MechWarriors you know of who are no longer with us.

@1sidsquid Why would you pirate a game that is free? Pahaha!

Every time i fire up my old pirated copy of mw4 mercs, i thank god and almost cry. It was my idiot friend who introduced me to the console game, and then opened my eyes to this beautiful world.

@antichad109 This is not a eulogy for the *game*, but for a great, great man who organized a community around it; requiescat in pace, Neuro - your MWL was an epic feat that will always be remembered, long after you are gone, friend.

@mech007Ag1 Just found this thread out of the blue by googling my old handle (DarkDemon Kryla). I'm actually installing Mech2: Mercs (can't find my Netmech CD) on my system right now. I was digging through some old CDs and wanted to listen to the soundtrack.

Just wanted to chime in and say hello and see if you could maybe pass on a hello from me to anyone you might still have some contact with from CJF. Thanks!
