DIE has always been a guild of friends. Each game we play adds to this list of folks come on board and add to the atmosphere of camaraderie we share. In World of Warcraft we were blessed with the addition of Olecootie (IRL: John Phillipe Deslongchamps Sr.) who has the double identity of being Berdoff's Pop.

Olecootie came to us about as green a player as possible. His enthusiasm, however, overreached any newness to gaming as he dove in head first and ultimately took the position as the BEST farmer on the Illidan Server! Moreso then his knack for obtaining items and cash in the game, Olecootie, was an incredible team player who was always willing to step up for the guild and his friends and help in anyway he could.

A friend to all, a gamer to the core and a guildmate in DIE forever, we say farewell to Olecootie who has passed away leaving us fond memories and making us all better gamers for his time with us. We all share in hoping you can see this post (and the many others on the forums) and know how much you meant to everyone in the Online Gaming World!
