+1. solid guy, lovely to talk to and I think he’d make a great addition. 🥰

I haven't posted on these forums or played the game in years. I used to play for years on the WF / ETS servers and was a member of the clan mostly because I loved the community. The gameplay was almost secondary. And McBeth/Bethy/kate/Marianne was integral to keeping the servers fun and engaging, keeping things running smoothly. We had tons of fun and ideas for making things interesting. Less hard-core and more about the fun! A Way for Fun, if you will (lol). Goddamn was she passionate about the game and keeping it lively but fair for everyone! And she herself was a lot of fun! I have much respect for who she was. A lot of my detailed memories of those times have faded but a lot of good ones remain with me and I at times have strong nostalgia for those days. And Kate was a huge part of that. Without her, I wouldn't have had my little safe social space in ET. I met a lot of great people on the servers because of her. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to everyone in the clan, servers, and her family.

Welcome Napo

I know it's not my business replying to this but, I think Nap will be a great asset for ETS. Congrats!

you know the news hasn't been good it's been recently but now it's excellent news... always a pleasure to play and see you in the game. welcome napoleon.

About time this application is submitted @Napoleon I don't think there's any other answer than a yes.

This is truly heartbreaking news to discover just now! Kate was an extremely respected member of the ET community and an even stronger human. May she be at rest and in the best of places now. Nothing I can say to ease the pain you all are feeling at the moment, but I do wish you all to find great strength in this time of sorrow. May we all find peace in the fond memories shared with Kate.

Hello everyone, I haven't been able to connect to the game in a while. Many things have happened to me recently, I had a daughter, and that completely changed my world and my obligations. As soon as I heard this sad news through the email, I was very surprised, since I did not know Kate's situation. I write today to say goodbye to an extraordinary being, someone who illuminated our lives in unique and memorable ways. I will always fondly remember the moment she invited me to be part of this clan, a gesture that not only defined our virtual friendship, but also created memories. It was evident that her passion for the game went beyond the games, as she built and maintained a clan that transcended virtual borders to become a true family for some. Every laugh shared, every game played and every victory obtained became moments of happiness for me and I would like to think that for the rest as well. Although today we are overcome by the sadness of her departure, we also celebrate the joy of having shared happy moments in her company. Rest in peace Kate. I will always remember you with gratitude and affection.

Hi there Wow I don’t know what to say about this. My condolences 💐 to everybody. Honest, Kindfull, Loyal, Caring and many more things … . Kate will be always in our hearts when we play! Veloc!ty

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.

Dear Kate and family, I am shocked and saddened to read that you passed. We've known eachother for the better part of half my life, going back to late 2006. You embraced me as a teenager and gave me a place to feel at home. Years ago I read back some of our conversations we had. Apparently I would say the stupidest shit and you were always nice. While reading those conversations I felt deeply embarrassed about my behavior and it gave me even more respect to you. From the start, you have shown me a lot of kindness and it was always nice talking to you. I've seen you show that same kindness to others, for not only small things, but also the bigger things. Where I would have held a lifelong grudge, you were forgiving to people throughout the years. There is a lot of stuff I can only say I have the utmost respect for how you handled things. You've upheld the clan in it's various names and forms for longer than I ever thought possible. It's always been a pleasure to find the clan time and again still existing after not playing for a couple of years. I know you had many doubts throughout the years about the clan's future. I've always been reluctant to help you make a decision and I always said it was yours to make and I would support it no matter what. In the end you have always kept the clan alive and for that I will forever be grateful. You managed to keep the clan alive for your entire life, Kate. That is a great achievement, in doing so you brought together countless nationalities through the years and and gave them a seoond home. I am sorry I haven't been more vocal about my gratitude towards you. I hope despite that, that you've known this to be the case. My sincerest and deepest thanks to you for providing a place of refuge and a second family through through close to 2 decades. Bye Kate, I will miss you and remember you fondly. My sincere condolences to your husband, son and other family. Thank you for sharing her with us. With sad regards, Nick, aka Napoleon.

Dear Kate and Family, Shocked I am... Looking for words... I almost can not believe this.. My heart and my deepest condolences to her family, having to deal with this loss. Her love for the game and the clan will never be forgotten, and you will always have a place in my heart! With great sadness, Bier.

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.
