Some of you may or may not know an FFR player by the name of "Monoc". He was an avid FFR fan that played the game over 1000 times and ranked #412 out of 283,000. He had apparently been battling depression for a long time and a family member contacted me today and informed me that he took his own life on April 21st. I just wanted to leave a news story to remember him by and pay a little respect for such a great fan of the game.

Best wishes and prayers go out to his family. We are very sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Synthlight
oh my god...

It's so sad.

So many emotions are running though my head, and i dont even know the person very well.

Man, it really makes you think.

RIP Monoc.

what's even scarier:

In the Haiku thread (written on the eve of his suicide)

Subliminal messages can be scary.

Lesson learned: DON'T take people contemplating suicide lightly. That is the last time i laugh at a suicide thread.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I know what he was going through...well, to a certain extent, anyway. I've thought about it but never been pushed far enough to actually do it. It really is sad when somebody hates life that much, they actually choose to refuse it.

Poor guy.

I would pm synth if you wanted to know details. His parents contacted Synthlight saying that their son, Monoc, had passed away.

yep, it most definitely is crossing it, there was someone who posted something like that in the news post, but it seemed to have gotten deleted.

because he's vxdx, and it would take a suicide or death for him to move up... its like in nascar when a car gets lapped 50 times, and then someone wrecks and gets put out the race... that guy who was lapped is no longer in last.. but second to last to the guy who got put out..

VxDx is an ass, and that is all he will ever be.

You will get nowhere in life because you waste your time making fun of other people, and putting them down.

Get a fucking life, and act civil here, or go home!
