This is indeed sad news and a loss for the community. I didn't have any one on one interactions with Durc but loved the light hearted role-play in GC and was always cheered by a Durc sighting. It's a beautiful thing to read so many stories and memories about the person and character(s) she played...

Yuh huh. I will miss that leering orc grin in AC, too.  Also: * Someone hugs Durc.Durc: ACKKK! Durc was an extremely cool player, up there with the greats in all the RPGs I've played over the years. It took me almost five weeks to pick an alliance. In the end, it was Durc's very chill attitude that finally won me over to Cave. Best Illy decision I could've made. I, too, will miss the funny stories of her grandma, and shootin' squirrels, and how her pug curls up and snores on her pit bull. Durc was really proud of Eagle's First Flight, and like Sliveen said, often mentioned how she "turned some of those eggs". It was our great fortune that she turned her nurturing wisdom to Cave as well. Durc was a kind person who took joy from the simple pleasures of hanging out with her dogs, trying to recruit stray kittens, and cooking good food. Her absence is a great loss to her many friends, to [CAVE] and to all of Illyriad. For myself, I'll remember her by her favorite lyrics from "The Cave" by Mumford and Sons: So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside downThrom ka, Durc orc. Know that wherever you are, you will be missed.

Pug/Durc was truly one of Illy's greatest. I am terribly saddened by our (and the world's) lose of her, but I am thankful for the time we had together. She has been a great blessing to me, and all of the memories are something to be cherished.
Goodbye Pug/Durc, you are loved and missed.

Durc changed my play. She reminded me that giving and mentoring; guiding and fellowship made this game a place I could come to every day and love. I will always cherish the window she shared with me, telling me of her grandmother teaching her to cook on a wood stove. How much she loved her dogs. Her hopes and aspirations for the future. She enjoyed mentoring, and she mothered all her Cavelings, but especially the RL youths. She loved all of the alliances she had been in. She spoke warmly of them all. One of her favorite things she would say; is she would see a player doing well, and then she would say"I helped turn her/his egg"
She started a crafter alliance and nothing made her happier, than seeing her Cavelings trading with each other, and happily shouting in AC that they were researching another craft.
And when she changed to Pug: the lighter funnier side came out. Her quick wit and gentle soul were such a refreshing and nourishing presence.
On the tail of war and opposition; a warm blush of good spread unto Illy. And her name was Pug. And what came from Pug created Durc. And her splendor in her transparency was unique in all things right and good.
I will miss you, my lizard entrails snax eating friend. How I wish, one more time you would pop into gc with"peeking outta cave" and reply to greetings with "okees, and you?". |

She was great. I thought it was the so fun how she would switch her way of talking to suit either Pug or Durc. I will miss her.

Illy -- and the world -- have lost a great person, player and presence. I had the pleasure of recruiting Puginator to HugCr in her first couple of weeks in Illy; I remember the first mail I sent her: "I like your style." Truer words were never spoken..
Pug came to Illy from years of agressive, cutthroat play in some of those "other" RTS's. In that sense, Illyriad was a place where she intended to turn over a new, kinder and gentler leaf. She not only admirably accomplished that; as she created Durc and then moved Pug onto other alliances, she became one of the most charming, endearing, welcoming players in the game.
Beyond my sadness and compassion for all of her family and loved ones who are experiencing such great loss (including her Cavelings), I'm grateful that she shared this time with all of us. I'm humbled that I was able to be a part of her experience in Illyriad. I look forward to honoring her memory, both within Illy and without.
