On December 21st, many Tabula Rasa players attended a memorial service, to honor the brave souls who gave their lives in 2012 protecting Earth from the Bane. The event was hosted by the Tabula Rasa Roleplayers, and was attended by Richard "General British" Garriott, who delivered a stirring message for the assembled gathering.

Tabula Rasa Vault now has a transcript of the service for those who couldn't be there on the day. A snippet of the General's speech:

"Earth may have been defeated but the human spirit was not and it is my hope this DE day that each and every one of us become a monument to the unquenchable power of that human spirit for as long as we remember and as long as we fight, we are living proof that humanity survives in all of us. LONG LIVE THE AFS!"

The TR Vault link has the rest of his speech, as well as transcripts of the other speakers and the entire event itself.

I was there, the event was planned well, the speakers did excellent, but..the crowd was horrible. Not only the lag..but no one would listen. There were just so many people in one little area. It was supposed to be an rp event, but there were griefers galore. I dont know how many times they tried to tell them not to use weapons or logos abilities. It was a disgrace to British and Morrison because they took their time off to come and enjoy the event.

Sometimes I wish there were IQ tests for MMO's.

Again, the speakers and everyone that organized this event were great, I appreciate the fact that the devs attended and I hope in the future we can have more like this on TR.

I was unable to attend, but not for wanting to. I am rather disapointed that once again the cassi server retains all the event and seemingly dev attendance focus. It'd be nice if the other servers were given official nods like cassi got in the end of beta event or the giant credit give away and now the 21st day memorial.
