http://z14.invisionfree.com/Ocarina_Of_Time_2D/index.php?showtopic=1156 I'm here to inform everyone of a terrible loss. Yesterday, around 4:00pm, I received a phone call telling me that Richard (Dampe) has been in a fatal car accident. I'm not feeling up to explaining detail of the accident, and how it happened, I'm just here to notify everyone since his family would be devastated, and his brother probably wouldn't want to explain the loss to a bunch of guys on the net. Maybe if you wanted to show respect, and make him proud, leave a R.I.P Dampe or something in your sigs/msn/aim/whatever. Just an idea. Sorry everyone. (As to what going to happen with the forum/community, not too sure, I don't want to think of it right now.) Nintendo is behind this. --- Join in on One of GameFAQs' Most Historic Boards: ZSB http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=548 {��} |

lmao, he did not. 1. He's 15. 2. Normal parents would not immediately contact online friends to inform them of the loss (how did they even know who they were?) 3. Why did he need donations? 4. For that matter, he made little progress on the game and the site wasn't up long. Yeah, I'm calling bull. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but really, I don't believe things like this on the internet. --- MOTHER 3 TC is a Mormon..... Which is cool, it's like Christian fan-fiction. -Teh Nowhere Man |

I also find it odd how they won't release any details on the crash. --- MOTHER 3 TC is a Mormon..... Which is cool, it's like Christian fan-fiction. -Teh Nowhere Man |

Dampe could of just broken his leg, but thanks to the driver who obvoiusly would never drop 5km to save a life he has died, of course the driver will drop 5km now but its to late...to late. I like how this guy indiscriminately passes judgment regardless of knowing nothing about the situation. --- Jump. Airdodge down-right/down-left before you visibly leave the ground.

I thank all of you for your support and your respect. Unfortunatley, On March 21st, We lost our great man, Richard (Dampe) The official police record has read that Richard was hit by a car that had swurved on the wet road, the car WAS NOT speeding. Richard was knocked unconcious and shortly after passed away. His last words to be known were to his trusting girlfriend when he was walking home from her house "I love you" with a great smile on his face. Richard's family are having a tough time, as well as his friends, but we've all come to realise that there is a time in everyone's lives where you must move on. I'm sure all of his close friends from the net (Christo, Monkeydog, Tani) and whoever else, also need to move on. Everyone has there time to live, And everyone dies one day. The worst thing you can do is to not move on. I thank all of you for your support and caring. I will be locking this topic after this post, And this will be the end of Dampe's "Oot2D." I suggest anyone wanting to stay in a community, move to http://www.monkeypro.net, Monkeydog has a great community, and he was also hosting Dampe's site. Thankyou all again, And forever, R.I.P Richard Denton June 16th 1991 - March 21st 2007. --- Jump. Airdodge down-right/down-left before you visibly leave the ground.

1. He's 15. Just because it was a car accident doesn't mean he was the one driving...he could have been a passenger. 2. Normal parents would not immediately contact online friends to inform them of the loss (how did they even know who they were?) Maybe the person was a friend in real life. 3. Why did he need donations? What does that have to do with anything? 4. For that matter, he made little progress on the game and the site wasn't up long. What does that have to do with anything, also? --- Saturn Valley Online. An Earthbound MMORPG in the works... http://www.svgames.net |

3. Why did he need donations? What does that have to do with anything? 4. For that matter, he made little progress on the game and the site wasn't up long. What does that have to do with anything, also? These are both signs that this was just a scam, honestly. The fact that he was 15 is another sign, since this seems like something a 15 year old would do. I'm sure all of his close friends from the net (Christo, Monkeydog, Tani) and whoever else, also need to move on. Everyone has there time to live, And everyone dies one day. The worst thing you can do is to not move on. What the hell? He "dies" less than a day ago, and they're telling people to "move on" (read: forget about him) already? This is just screaming fake. Just watch; in a few weeks, we'll find out that he is really alive, and that this was just a prank by his little brother or some other stupid excuse, and then this, like all of the OoT2D projects, will fade away and people will forget about it. --- MOTHER 3 TC is a Mormon.....

I'm going to try to not be harsh here, because if this is all true then it's rather tragic, but I also don't quite buy this story. It just seems like something a kid would do to get attention... --- XBL Gamertag: XCTarantula | Games: Test Drive Unlimited, Saints Row, Table Tennis, Gears of War Currently Playing - Call of Duty 2 |

I didn't realise he lived in Melbourne. I could have probably told you it was fake if I'd known that. >_< --- 'All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.' - Douglas Adams |
