He was looking bad there  and unrecognizable at the end. What a painful way to go. May he rest in peace now.

 @PHUCKITMAN pretty much nailed it, before COD I played Star Wars Galaxies, I was in a group that all had "ONE" after their name, my son played Rugby at the time and his name was Rugs, so I went with that same theme and went with Rugger. My official name was RuggerOne, when I came to COD, I dropped the "ONE" and now we have Rugger 

Hi guys, so apart from getting shot to pieces everyday which I have to admit is my favourite time of day, I have another hobby , metal detecting, over this year I've found some lovely old stuff, but yesterday I found a once in a lifetime find, an early bronze age axe head, it's over 4000 years old as you can imagine I am made up and just wanted to share it with you guy's.

I still have not been able to completely come to grips with the loss of one of my best friends ever. He was a friend to me from almost the first time we played COD2 together and became like a Big Brother very quickly. His Laugh could make even the most tense moment disappear or let someone know they were full of shit. He was a loyal man who was proud of his love for his family, his Country, his service in Vietnam in spite of the homecoming he and others were forced to endure and he was especially proud of what XI had become "A Family". He was here in the early days when a headstrong group tried to split up this clan and he would say, don't worry buddy we will still be here long after those who are spreading lies and attempting to take over are long gone and he was right. When COD4 came out and Rugger asked me to consider becoming head Admin for the COD2 servers my only request was that Bart share the position with me because he was always the calm one even if he know he was going to give someone the boot. He had a way of telling someone to go fuck off and they would say thank you while I was the opposite. Every single time my temper would flare up he would always say the same thing "Don't let them get to you Pman, we will be here long after they are forgotten" regardless of it being a hacker in game, o banned player sneaking back, or some attention monger on our website. His response was always "We will be here longer after they are gone". The past few days I swear on my Childrens lives I have heard him in my ear whispering those exact same words to me several times. He is still here and always will be long after those who don't belong to XI are long gone. God Bless you my best friend Roger Bartlett and I know you have my 6 every single day I am left here taking a breath because you are my Guardian Angel.

Merry Christmas you filthy idiots. And a wonderful new year and safe holidays. Wishing everyone the best and joyous new year to you and your family. And nay 2024 bring you many positive and new beginning. 🎅❤️
