Title: Sad news...
Post by: teaflower on May 10, 2009, 05:58:31 pm
Thank you, IRC, for bringing us this lovely information.

It would appear as though our dear Compendiumite, Laith, was in a car wreck. According to his brother, he was going 60 MPH and hit a guard rail. And he's not doing too good. His right knee and wrist have shattered, his pelvis is cracked, and he has suffered serious brain injuries.

Laith is currently in a coma.

Right now, his family is hoping for the best. Let us keep him in our thoughts for now, shall we? Let's hope he either comes out of it and gets better, or that it doesn't last too long.

Oh my god.  I instantly started crying right when I saw "Car wreck".  Too familiar.  Oh man..I hope he'll be okay..

That is so sad. I didn't know him very well, but I hope he recovers.

We're making an E card for Laith. Tea or someone will fill in on how to do this. Here is my lil doing for it.
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: teaflower on May 10, 2009, 06:24:28 pm
Again, thanks to the IRC for this idea.

We're going to be making a 'card', if you will. The final product will be a 1024x768 image, but it will be a collage. Make your image and attach it to your posts (as Shinrin seems to have done before I got it in), so that when we get enough images Zephira will shop them all together for a collage.

Thank you for all your kind words.

Here's my submission. Here's hoping Laith makes a speedy recovery.

hmm...a I know him as is a good artist and a guy posting lots of dicks :?
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: FaustWolf on May 10, 2009, 07:01:54 pm
Oh snap, this is such a great idea! So we'll put a bunch of squares/rectangles together with our avatars or something else? Priceless. Thanks to everyone for this idea, and to Shinrin for providing a great template.

We can make a great big collage of these. The more wacky you can make it, the better, so it's not a strict template or anything. What SGR posted is great too. Make it your own thing I guess.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, nobody post a picture of a dick or anything. Laith's family will probably end up seeing it.

Faust, they don't have to be squares, they can be a drawing or a scribble or whatever. I'm collecting them as they're posted and putting them into one big PSD.
Also, for anyone making something that isn't a square, make sure your background is either transparent, or a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT colour than what's in your picture. It makes it a lot easier to piece together. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for taking leadership of this Zephira. I'm not sure what was agreed to in the IRC after I left, so that's cool. Great job everyone.

Here's my thing. I just realized the text is itsy bitsy, but it says 'rise from the ashes and get better, Laith/from teaflower'

The Compendium is so fucking awesome. Thanks for doing this everyone. I know Laith was kind of new (I think he joined in December or thereabouts) but I think he truly has some serious budding talent.
Title: Re: Sad news...

Wasn't here here a long time ago but got banned? I thought he mentioned that at some point.

I know I'm a newb, but still... here's my two cents


Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: FaustWolf on May 10, 2009, 08:52:51 pm
Yeah keb, that was back when he was a youngin' and didn't know any better. Laith's still a bit on the wild side, but he matured a lot since we last saw him. That's why ZeaLitY's get-well-soon will especially mean a frickload to him.
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: justin3009 on May 10, 2009, 09:01:14 pm
Laith is a really neat guy to talk to when it's a 1 on 1 conversation..I really really hope he'll be okay.
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: utunnels on May 10, 2009, 09:13:57 pm
It sucks to hear such a thing in a rainy Monday morning.
Hope he can get over all of these soon.

It's just one thing after another, isn't it...

Well, he's in my prayers...
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: FaustWolf on May 10, 2009, 10:08:39 pm
Laith's bro, is there a certain email address we should send it to? Or just Laith's? If a different email addy, you could probably PM Zephira or myself if you don't want to post it publicly.

Welcome to the Compendium, though I'm really sorry it had to be under these circumstances.

According to Laith's brother, he just made two attempts to wake up and his brain activity spiked. His reflexes are back, so he might wake up tonight.

Let's keep hoping, folks! We aren't out of the woods yet!
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: FaustWolf on May 10, 2009, 11:17:18 pm
So is he still in extreme danger? Or is he getting better?
Title: Re: Sad news...

Post by: Uboa on May 10, 2009, 11:23:16 pm
This is just terrible news...

To say you'll both be in my thoughts tonight is an understatement.
Thank you for keeping communication lines open.  I'll be checking back.  Hope to hear good news.

Here's a contribution to the get well card.  I hope this isn't too small.

Post by: ZeaLitY on May 11, 2009, 12:15:54 am
Faf and I figured out it was BS early on, so topic locked.

Laith is on probation until he produces a picture of his brother with bruises from a beatdown.
Title: Re: Sad news...
Post by: FaustWolf on May 11, 2009, 12:39:42 am
Just so this doesn't seem otherworldly cold to anybody, for anyone who wasn't on the IRC, either Laith or his bro really did pull a stunt here, and admitted to it. Faf and ZeaLitY were tipped off by the user's blow-by-blow descriptions from Laith's hospital bedside over IRC. The conversation there was literally like:

FaustWolf: Man, I hope he's okay. I have a lot of respect for him.
Laith: OMFG! He's waking up! brb
FaustWolf: *crosses fingers*
Laith: OMG! He blinked twice! Doctors are making sure he remembers where he was born!
ZeaLitY: Okay, I call BS.
Faf: Yeah I call BS. How the hell are you updating us every five seconds and be on IRC at the same time?
Laith: Wat did you say!? How could you be so heartless! You'll make Laith cry!  :cry:
FaustWolf: Now, now, Laith's bro, don't worry, I believe you.
Laith: Haha, I kid.
FaustWolf: Oh snap, I got pwned.

That's the abridged version. Ah well, even if Laith gets banned or something, I'm truly glad he's okay, at the risk of sounding like I got pwned (which I did). Sorry to tea, Zephira, and everyone else who put work into this.

I'm just happy to hear that this was fake and that everyone involved is alive and well.
