♫...The legend lives on from the veterans all know as the great staff member named Keith...♫

Andreas: Keith, I always knew you could get beyond the rats in A1 =)

SuperSock: Keith is as close as you'll get to a person that gives 110%, his selfless acts of kindness are a mainstay in many of the stories and anecdotes about Keith in this and the previous games he played. From always having an abundance of time to help out new players, to maintaining the wiki, Keith has always had the harmony of the community in mind. I met Keith ~15 years ago now on Ultimate Dominion (another deceased game) when I was young and impressionable. He has had a significant impact on how I see the world and some of the choices I've made. There's no one that deserved more honour than Keith and his legacy and lasting contributions to this community will never be forgotten. I sympathise deeply with the recent loss of Jo. However, Abba still sucks!

DeathToRain: Keith was one of the first people to welcome me to the game back in 2015, he was always around for pleasant conversations. I remember trading cookies with him quite often and hugs when we caught each other online, albeit fleetingly. I'll miss him greatly and he'll live on as one of the players that I will remember for as long as I live. I wish him the best going into the future. <3 -Tim

Lucki: I met Keith November 27,2012, when I joined MRN... And only left the guild to get a tank change. His selflessness and generosity to all, and devotion to MRN became the spirit of the guild he founded. His knowledge of the game, astounded me, and his willingness to take the time to help others humbled me. I learned a great deal from my cookie living friend.. And just as he will be missed by all, his absence creates a void we will not be able to fill. Love ya Keith. Hugs

Tedium: I've know Keith for over 15 years, having originally met him play Ultimate Dominion way back in the day. He was simultaneously the kindest and grumpiest person you'd ever have the pleasure of meeting. He was always a bit of a stickler for the rules, but that's because he cared so much for the games he played. Despite not speaking with him too frequently anymore, I would still consider him a friend, and wish him all the best going forwards.

sillyrob: I'm fortunate enough to have played this game long enough to know Keith from his community days. His giant daily 300k jade rain if we hit 300 players online was so much fun to be a part of. He was such an integral part of the new (and hell, old) player experience that I really feel like many players stuck around because of him. Even after the rebellion of Keith, he never stopped being there for the players of Lyr. He will forever be remembered for his never ending kindness. Make sure you have a cookie for him.

samfireballkat: Both Keith and Jo were such absolute sweeties that took great care of all players and always did the best they could both do at settling any issues or comforting anyone that felt emotionally torn. While my mother was still here, she always told me how wonderful those two were and always managed to bring smiles to her when she needed someone to talk to. I personally had more time to hang out with Keith, but even my times with Jo always ended on a positive note. When I was a new player, Keith was so welcoming, helpful, and eager to make sure I never left the game. He helped make it even more fun to be around here, he helped so many new players grow to love and enjoy the game and the community as well. I always loved spending time with talking to them both, as I am sure everyone else would agree to. I just wish the best for whatever else lays ahead... such spectacular loving souls they both have always been.

BarryMcCockener/carnival: Will miss you in game Keith! Always helpful to the new players, including myself when i discovered lyr. Always had a good time talking/shooting the shit with ya. Hopefully you get to read all of these. Be easy bro!

DeathClawSlayer: I will miss you Keith, I hope things get better for you, I remember chatting with you randomly throughout the years, I've always cherished this moment:(change visibility) 17:58, 27 January 2020 Keith talk contribs block changed group membership for DeathClawSlayer from (none) to administrator and bureaucrat (Deserves it) When you changed my membership/permissions on the wiki, and I promise to never let the wiki falter, and will keep it alive with every piece of my being. You've always been an amazing friend to me, and I hope if you do revisit the wiki in the future, you'll know it is in good hands.

Suisun: Keith was my first and longest friend I've had on Lyrania. Gave me :j629488: (The First Crown) the first week I started playing and I've kept it ever since lol. I joined them in MRN when it was named something else and Jo would always try to get me in their guild group calls which I always found weird but I made sure I joined one to make them happy. Even if I don't interact with them as much anymore, they aren't people I'd ever forget ♥

Testerz - Although I haven't really gotten to know Keith since I only recently began playing Lyrania, I was fortunate enough to have received his generosity "- From: Keith (09:02 11th Apr 2020) - Free. (Contained 100000000 lumber)" when I needed resources for building my house. Bless you Keith for your kindness in helping new players!

Carlosyaz: When I first started playing the game in 2012 Keith was one of the first to speak to me. Eventually I joined MRN and our friendship began to grow. We spent many days on skype together talking for hours covering nearly every subject one could come up with. I learned not only about the game from him but much about life. He is my mentor here and I love him. I hope you get a chance to read these messages, Keith. Even though you may be leaving Lyrania you're not leaving our hearts. I will do my best to contact you my friend. Speedy recovery ♥

Riddick aka Convict aka Riddy: I first met Keith in an now long gone game called Ultimate Dominion around 18-19 years ago, my first time seeing Keith in chat was when he was muted by a Mod for being overly sarcastic and breaking chat rules but little did I know then having a laugh at his misfortune at being muted would lead to me to sitting struggling to put into words quite how big an impact on my life Keith has had, some of my fondest memories are of staying up all night playing his quizzes on MIRC, or laughing so hard when he uploaded a picture of himself wearing a cardboard Burger King crown. I've witnessed Keith's generosity through a couple of games over the years and his genuine fondness of helping others always stood out, the game won't quite feel the same without him.

Hoya: I have known Keith a really long time through online games so I don't remember how long ago at this point, but he has always been a very friendly and nice guy, always willing to help someone out when he could. I have had several memorable conversations with him over the years and he let me join MRN after I was kicked out of High Times as soon as I asked if I could and I've been there ever since. He's done so much to help people out over the years that I doubt you could ever find a nicer guy. Keith, I really do hope you have a full recovery and are able to read all these messages of love and respect people have for you and the game won't ever be the same without you.

Loripat: Keith made a big impression on me when I first started here, March 2015. I was a bit intimidated by someone who was so advanced in the game but he always had some help to offer and wasn't upset when people asked dumb questions that they still didn't understand. He patrolled chat and for the most part kept a calm demeanor even when people tried to get a reaction out of him. He shared the good in his life and kept things light. We all knew he loved cookies and didn't really sleep much. I remember when we would start jade rains that people would set alarms for and made sure it was in all time zones. He was always helping people and figuring out things for the wiki. I have so many fond memories of him. May he get all the white chocolate macadamia cookies he wants!
