Title: Rich Stevenson - Gone But Unlikely To Be Forgotten!
Post by: RioRodent on May 26, 2012, 12:35:50 PM
Regular readers of Rich"s blog may already know, but for those that aren"t... unfortunately Rich (WarBwastard) passed away during the week.
As you might expect, he had prepared for the occasion and the announcement is on his blog - http://la-boca-de-la-cueva.blogspot.co.uk/
See ya mate, RIP

I first met Rich when we shared a table at my first APAT at Newcastle in 2006. I"d be lying if I said I noticed his humour & wit then but subsequently, when introduced to his blog, the intelligence and humour was stunning.
It"s said all the time but this really is a sad loss. RIP Sheriff.

Have some fond memories of playing poker with Rich, not least my very first APAT event in Cardiff in Season 2, when he was on my immediate left, and the first person with whom I played my very first APAT hand. So sad to hear of his passing.
RIP

RIP. Didn"t know the guy to be honest, but his Posts were always funny, honest and very well written. Unique talent, unique guy for sure.

Hey, I was watching that!
I met Rich a few times at tournaments but knew him better from his posts and his blogs, which are on my favourites and which I used to read regularly. He was an entertaining writer who was clearly thinking on another level. His blogs and his posts were very funny and very clever and I"ll miss them.

I was talking to to Jack (technolog) about Rich, at the Blonde Bash at DTD recently, and mentioned this video. Jack didn"t recall it and asked me to look it out... well here it is.
As it says on the tin.. the true genius of it will be lost on anyone who has not played "The Pigeons Game" or doesn"t know Paul "Paulie Two Thumbs" Townsend [Hitler in the vid].

Oh yeah! I did see it at the time. It"s funny seeing it in isolation but I imagine it"s hilarious if you know the players.
