On May 9th, 2026, our friend, pig-in-arms, and fellow Buttgrass faction member, Piglet [2772854], passed away.
For the past three years, Piglet fought a battle against a brain tumour that subjected him to multiple high-risk surgeries, endless medication, and pain most of us can't even begin to imagine. Yet through all of it, he never complained. Not once. Somehow, even in the middle of that fight, he still found joy in logging into this ridiculous game and spending time with us.
That was Piglet.
Every recovery gave us hope that somehow he would beat the odds. We wanted so badly for the miracle to come. But life can be unbearably cruel, and here we are, mourning the loss of a dear friend.
We sincerely hope Torn staff will one day grant him Fallen Angel status, but we also want his closed ones to mourn in peace. So, until then, he remains with us. He will stay under our protection for as long as this faction stands. I would sooner quit this game myself than remove him from the family he helped build in Torn.
And let this be understood clearly:
Piglet is off limits.
This should not need to be said. Common decency alone should be enough. Anyone who understands what he endured, and what those inactive days now mean to the people mourning him, would leave him in peace.
But if anyone chooses otherwise, whether during wars or for personal gain, understand this: I will remember it. And I will answer it in every event from this day forward. It is the last thing I can still do for my friend, and I will do it without hesitation.
It is finally time for you to rest now, Lewis.
You fought harder than anyone should ever have to, and faced it all with more courage and grace than I ever could.
You made us all proud, and you will always be one of us.
With all my love,
Knuff
