* I'm cross posting this from schnoog's topic/post over at spladderladder. Hope you don't mind schnoog * It is with sadness that I have to inform you today that macbeth (also known as ETS-Kate or Marianne ) has passed away. She put her heart and soul into helping us hour after hour and became not only the administrator but also the soul of Splatterladder. I will always remember her as a friendly, dedicated and kind-hearted grande dame of the Enemy Territory community. My thoughts are with her family. Volker

I really don't know what to type here. I also have a very special story that showed me how special Kate was. Like Half said "This really broke my heart" Descanse en paz Mav

As 2mh mentioned the info has been posted. But just so everyone knows.... Website fees are $30 a month. Napoleon covered February's website cost. Server fees were $110 for the reliablesite.net server/machine that kate was paying for. Napoleon also covered $50 of this balance. ** So a balance of $60 is still owed, out of the total of $140. ** Paypal id: [email protected] ( if you donate to cover our current balance, please put a note in with the payment for what it's for please like Ets| Server or something. (PM me or post here if you donate so we can keep track of it please) After the remainder server balance of $60 is settled the only cost would be the forums/website a month. PLEASE NOTE: Paypal id: [email protected] is just being used to cover what fees were covered by Alex aka hellreturn for us. Which was forum costs for February at $30 and January 19th - February 19th server cost at $110. So a big thanks to him for doing so. Second Note: Game Server will be moved to my dedicated server to cut down on costs as $110 a month for a machine where we will be running one server off of wont be needed. Hopefully this helps clarify our remainder balance of the fronted services provided by Alex/Hellreturn

Silky posted this info earlier in the thread Hellreturn has been helping us out greatly with helping figure a way to get the domain transferred and tracking down info. February site/forum costs are due. If anyone would like to help donate for February costs here's his info: Paypal id: [email protected] (for feb month - 30$ pls.) And he also covered January 19th- February 19th server costs. If anyone would like to help repay him , same PayPal info as above. ( which would be January 9th- February 9th with how reliablesite.net payment system is. I think it was also mentioned that if you donate to Paypal id: [email protected] that you make a note that the money is for ETS/Kate. -2MH

I'd like to know where to send in money...just don't want it stuck somewhere else. send me a link or a message on how to donate.

She never liked it when i put in ,but i got it top if you need it , I'll pay it all if i have too for Her.. i don't know how to do the serv. part but i can pay for it all just to keep the serv up and running for Bethy.....

Damn Damn Damn - Only knew Kate since 2021. God rest her soul and may peace be with her family and friends. I agree she worked tirelessly in support of the Ets clan and the community surrounding it. You will be missed every map......... Doink

For all who new and loved her, my deepest condolences. La vie est si fragile! Rest in peace Kate.

A Great Person Has Gone I will not forget the one who left us on this sad day. You can be proud of Kate His death is only a final journey towards another existence: beautiful and peaceful. Receive the testimony of my sincere affection. My sincere and fraternal condolences.

It is with saddened heart that I must tell that on January 19 following breast and lung cancer, Kate passed away. I got the message from her husband today. I dunno what to say, im so sad, I been here since around 2004-2005 and talked with Kate for god knows how many hours, through all the years through the ups and down, the good times and the bad times. I knew she had back pain problems but it came as a shock to all of us when she told us she had breast cancer and was going through chemo. We all hoped she would get through it but as time went on without any news I think I can say for all that we all got more and more worried. I really don't know what to say, i'm still in schock and very sad. Kate my friend we will all miss you, thank you for all you did for us and for the server throughout the years, I will miss our daily chats and having you around. May you rest in peace. My deepest condolosence goes out to her husband, kid, and to her family. As for the server and forum I dont know what will happen, if someone wants to help and pay to keep it running, in memory of Kate. I dont know what Kate would have wanted but she often expressed that she would like to close the server so if that is her wish I will respect that. I will talk to our server hoster and see what we will do and then I wait for her husband to reply. Everyone please leave a kind message for Kate and her family.

Got Return To Castle Wolfenstein from my wife for Christmas in 2002. First video game I ever owned. It must have taken me two months to beat it as I crept around every corner so I wouldn’t get shot. Had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Like many here, I’ve been playing this game since it first came online in 2003. Originally Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory; now just Enemy Territory. Only ever joined one clan; Xodus. Still carry the “X” from it in my game name. I decided back then that I was not “a clan guy.” Have only ever played under the one game name, too; anotherwhiner. Never changed it. I don’t know how many servers I’ve played on in twenty years. A lot. Enough to know the good ones are few. When I finally found the ETS server many years ago, I remember frequently getting in-game private messages from Kate asking if all was good. I often told her I kept returning because it was the best-administered server I’d encountered. In the beginning, she asked if I’d join the clan. When I declined, she asked that I at least join the forum. I did, but she soon discovered I wasn’t into posting on it. I always liked that she didn’t keep bugging me to join but settled into being happy just seeing me playing on the server. It surprised me at first, but I came to like, too, that I couldn’t go two days without playing before I’d get an email from her asking if everything was okay. At first, thinking I was special enough for her to be reaching out to, I soon realized I was not unique. It was she who was the special one. She often asked if I thought the game was “going away.” I reassured her it would be here forever. Over the past two years, her playing time on the server diminished. She complained often of “back problems.” Said she couldn’t sit long and would have to go lie down. On the 11th of January, I emailed her because it was the first time I’d ever not seen “Kate” listed as present on the server. This time, it was me asking if everything was okay. She replied the next day, “Hi yes prolly my et crashed. I am at a private clinic at PARIS cuz healthies problems. Thanks to send me an email.” She included a link to the forum about her health problems, but I couldn’t access it because, apparently, it’s been years since I created the account, and my sign-in doesn’t work any longer. So, I thought she was finally getting her “back problems” fixed. Seven days later… she was gone. I didn’t know Marianne beyond the scant details above. I know she had a caring heart. …Caring enough to take to the streets in protest. …Caring enough to fret about the fate of this game we play. …Caring enough to check in on a too-long absent player. I can’t imagine the depth of the loss her family must feel. We’ve lost a mate. A mate in cyberspace who embraced everyone who loved this game, stuck around, and played by the rules. Prolly my et will crash one day too. Until then, I will think of KATE whenever …wherever I play. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope the server continues. Willing to help.

So I just spent over a hour looking through our conversations on discord my friend 😢. I'm soooo sorry I didn't get a chance to answer your call on discord Jan 17th. This was my last message to you kate on discord Jan 18th: Hope you're doing alright. We're all thinking of you and sending you good vibes ✨️

This is..... very heartbreaking... I'm deeply sorry to hear about her passing, please pass along my sincerest condolences to her husband and family. And @kate if you can read this in heaven, this is from me to you:

I'm at a total loss of words at the moment. 😭 Don't weep at my grave, For I am not there, I have a date with a butterfly To dance in the air. I'll be singing in the sunshine, Wild and free, Playing tag with the wind, While I'm waiting for thee. The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace After the clouds, the sunshine, after the winter, the spring, after the shower, the rainbow, for life is a changeable thing. After the night, the morning, bidding all darkness cease, after life's cares and sorrows, the comfort and sweetness of peace. You'll always be with us kate ❤️ Much love: -Silky.
