So, I'm not sure how many people here on the forums knew or spoke to Luke, his username was "nobodyreally" and he was our amazing game server programmer, as well as organizing the wiki, administrating and developing the website, and organizing the databases. He was one of the greatest contributors to the progress of POL, and one of the greatest minds (probably the greatest) behind it's overall technical design and the way the game functions on a technical level.

About a year into the development of POL, Luke was diagnosed with leukemia and became extremely sick. He still contributed as much to the project as he could, and much more than anybody could have expected or asked of him.

On the 5th of June at around 4am, Luke passed away in his sleep.

I'm posting this so that the POL community can talk about him and express their feelings, and so that anybody that didn't know Luke can discover how amazing he was and how important he was to the project.

This is terrible... It makes me really sad to hear this. I never got to meet him personally, but I heard from a lot of others how amazing he was. I heard of his leukemia but I never knew that it was this severe. My condolences to everyone who knew him and is missing him right now.

He was amazing..he did so much for POL. I played with him on Brawl and he was pretty good. I enjoyed talking to him on Skype...he was very nice and respectful. Atleast it was in his sleep so he went peacefully.

Great POL member...Great Guy

You will be missed Luke

Bye Luke, may there be cookies and bunnies where you're going.
This amazing site will help us all remember you.

With every beginning, there must be an end. While I never really knew Luke personally, I still considered him a good friend. We had a bad start, with the trolling and whatnot, however I never held that against anyone. He was also the only one of a foreign nation I could consider friend, and for that, he will be missed on my end. As will his productivity with the game, as you've said, he was amazing.

I apologize for the loss of your friend, Jesse.

I didn't know him at all. I don't know if I have much of a right as to say this or whatever but by what all of you are saying he was a great guy, I hope he's in a better place and to the best of his family and their prayers

I am really not surprised that he would go. Once you get it, then you may as well commit suicide... I feared this day but there was really no denying it.

He was a good member and did much for the community. He will be missed by all.

Farewell Luke.

Hell, I cheered the guy on.

Honestly, sans suicide, I'd want to spend my remaining days left with the only one I care about. I would also want to spend it living my life like I did every other day, nothing different. I believe Luke went out in that way. Also, my aunt is a cancer survivor. If she committed suicide, she wouldn't of survived. Also, if there is a hell, God forbid, wouldn't you want to die naturally and end up in heaven? I don't think she'd appreciate being told she should have committed suicide.

There's a 99 percent of a chance that people will die from it. It's practically a fact almost. How your aunt survived it would have been divine intervention.

Then how about your cancer survivors? I see thousands every October marching down my city streets flaunting the fact they clung to life.
