    Unhappy RIP Thalius



    To all my old Utopians,

    I have some sad news to deliver to you all.

    A month ago today, my good friend (and Dutch Uncle) of nearly 2 decades and our founder/leader of Taure en'Arvandor alliance passed away. Here's the Thalius banner that Thunder requested. If you're still playing like that masochist Thunder, feel free to fly it on your kingdom too in Bud's memory. Thalius impacted thousands of players during his tenure in Utopia. May Bud "Thalius" Davis rest in peace.

    Bud had moved to Portugal toward the end of 2018 for a change of venue and try out life as an expat (expatriate), but unfortunately that dream was cut short when he had to return to the States when bladder cancer was discovered. He began chemotherapy treatment toward the middle of summer. Unfortunately, he passed away on October 19, 2019.

    He was 70 years old, 39 years clean & sober, and was an embodiment of kindness toward others.

    Respectfully,

    Mercyful Fate aka Alex

    RIP Thalius
    Due to extensive kingdom-wide rules violations, this kingdom will not have the option to remain together for the next Age of Utopia.

    Spotted this banner kicking around on Facebook under a UA group today.

    I... wow. That's one that hits out of left field.
    I regret not calling him when I should've; thought about him a lot last year. Still have an entry in my phone for him. Talked about all manner of topics... some utopia, some life. Talked for hours about leadership, compassion, maturity...basically, being a better me. Incredible person with wisdom for days.

    I still remember TA, that we could agree to disagree, and attacking one another directly was forbidden. And "as long as the ties that bind us are stronger than those that seek to tear us apart, all will be well".

    For everyone still kicking around, all the love from Canada.

    I rarely check these forums anymore. This really caught me off guard. He always seemed to be one of those people that would be around forever. I've had some really amazing conversations with him, especially through many of my rough patches. Many times I didn't deserve his kindness or compassion but he was always there. He will be missed.
