Title: DSL Loses one of their Main members.
Post by: DarkRat on December 09, 2004, 11:07:29 PM: Lucy Foster (Lu-Tze) passed away Oct 3rd.
We will be making a little memorial for her here at DSL which should be up soon.
We found out Lucy was very sick nearing the end of DSL Beta 2 but she wanted it kept a secret and did not want us to fuss about it.
This was the main reason I hurried DSL out the door at the end. she only had weeks left and I wanted to make sure she got to see her work.. which she did .
She had a brain tumor which took her life before she got to get married.
The DSL team will miss her soo much..

Post by: RFS on December 09, 2004, 11:14:56 PM: :( It's a big shock to read this, I just thought she had disappeared like she's done off and on every and and then. I'm glad she got to see her work though.

Lu-Tze wasn't someone I talked to on a regular basis or anything, but she was one of the few people I've known on message boards that actually spoke to and helped out the other members, something not a whole lot of modders do.

RIP Lu-Tze, you will be missed. :(

Post by: goose on December 10, 2004, 01:01:15 AM: i would not have know nearly as much about ra2 and 3dstudio max if it wasent for lucy. She is actually the one who got me out of my shell and gave me the confidence to release my first components. i will miss her chats when i was bored late at night. She had a great sense of humor, and knew how to pull me up when i was down.

the only regret i have is not finishing my fight to the finish arena. she spent countless hours trying to help me get it it to look and work right.

thank you for all of your help and support. You were my first robot arena 2 friend. i will miss you so very much. and i hope to see you again someday

RIP Lu-Tze.

Post by: devils elbow on December 10, 2004, 06:37:52 PM: Wow, that wasn't news I was expecting. Although I rarely spoke to Lucy, she was helpful and had a great sense of humor.

R.I.P.

Title: Lucy...
Post by: Pete_Lefeu on December 11, 2004, 10:18:15 AM: omg I never tough that Lucy was sick... RA2 community have a big hole now... She will miss to everyone.

She was also the one who tried to help me for my first own personnal components ...

Just a suggestion for the memorial

Make a compilation of her single part of RA2 (before DSL)... it should bring memory to most of people of what she did and to not forget her...

Lucy came in RA2 suddenly with great part ans she quit suddenly with some secret that we'll never know.

Sympathy to her family and to everybody... :?

Post by: DarkRat on December 11, 2004, 11:37:20 AM: Goose and ACAMS has saved all her site just in case it went down.. we now have her components here.. we will keep her work alive :)

Post by: toAst on December 11, 2004, 07:48:27 PM: That was the last thing I was expecting upon reading this thread, I thaught someone was just leaving the forums.

Lu-tze as one of the coolest modders for RA2 ever, she made some great arenas and really fun to use parts. She made components that noone else conceived as possible at the time.

RIP, Lucy.

Post by: Deceptor on December 11, 2004, 08:43:32 PM: OMG, This is bad news, she will be missed, and i was going to ask her if she could help me make my DRC Arena for RA2..............

RIP Lucy, youll be in our hearts always.....
Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: Metal Virus on December 12, 2004, 07:41:59 PM: Oh my god. One of the members I respected most, is gone, gone forever. If I hadn't have come to these forums I would have never known. I expected this to be a "somebody left RA2" topic. Man, I'm in shock.

This reminds me of a song, Only The Good Die Young by Billy Joel. She was simply amazing. I had a great amount of respect for her. Not only here being one of the only female members in the forums, but also one of the best moders.

It is sad to hear that she is gone. Wow, I wasn't expecting anything like this. I don't know what to say, i'm speechless. I regret not making a tribute to Lu-tze right before DSL came out. I would have but only like3 people answered my PM and one of them said "what is this all about".

Well I can't really say much more. So sad.

R.I.P. Lucy Foster.
Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: Dino Venger on December 19, 2004, 10:07:46 PM: sorry for the bump, but I just read this and I was shocked.

I would have never guessed she was ever sick, I will miss her very much

and all of you who didn't talk to her online very much, I did...this was a total shock

you will be missed by everyone (including me)

:smt089 :cry:

I know this doesn't look very draumatic, but it's the best I can do...

RIP Lucy foster *sniff*

I am suprized there are not 75 posts in this thread already...I was expecting more of a reaction, why don't any other forums know about this??

Post by: Azmilion on December 20, 2004, 12:04:41 PM: this sucks

R.I.P Lu-Tze
The RA2 community will never be the same.

Post by: Ry_Trapp0 on December 20, 2004, 03:16:19 PM: holy crap!!!! this really sucks. i never expected anything like this to ever happen. i didnt talk to her a lot but we did from time to time. its hard to express your self in words, as you all know, but ill just leave it at that.

Post by: HX on December 23, 2004, 10:06:29 PM: OMG

Obviously I am very saddened by this but I have one question... Why are we finding out months later?
Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: Firebeetle on December 23, 2004, 10:09:47 PM: Death... something you don't hear about in the forums much.
It's a shame that she died so young...
Rest in peace, Lu-Tze.
Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: Starcore on December 24, 2004, 11:52:22 PM: She really didn't want us to fuss about her, asked that we not tell any one and requested that we not dedicate the DSL project to her.

Lucy, Merry Christmas! Go with God...
Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: HX on December 25, 2004, 08:28:25 PM: I see. Well I would just like to thank her for all the time and effort she put into this community. She was one of the more active members on RAR as well. I guess this just goes to show that most of us don't fully appreciate a good thing until it's too late. She and her work will not be forgotten.

peace Lu-Tze, I'm sure you are living better than ever before.

Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: JoeCB1991 on July 10, 2008, 12:02:52 AM: I know I am really late with this, but I remember around the time DSL first came out, which was around the time when I was really getting into RA2 and downloading Components and Arenas [on a PC with Dial Up], and I always thought that she made some of the best mods for the game, and I had everything she made in my copy of the game. I also remember seeing her in the Forums and she seemed like a great person and it is a shame she died.

Well its like Lewis Black said: "The good die young... ****** live forever!"]

Title: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: Somebody on June 17, 2009, 02:29:58 PM: I just had an idea about this. Maybe we could do a Moment of Silence for her on October 3rd. For maybe like 10 minutes or so, have GTM shut down and have a little box up that says that "a moment of silence is in process to honor Lu-Tze..."? Anybody think its a good idea?

Post by: RedSawn on June 17, 2009, 05:04:16 PM: That's an idea.

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on September 26, 2013, 02:04:26 PM: This is something that never gets old. She was one of the main innovators of early RA2. If it wasn't for Lu-Tze, we wouldn't have half the custom components we do now, we wouldn't have the BattleBox or RW Arena, and we might not even have DSL.

She basically changed Robot Arena 2 completely.

Bloody 'ell. Who would've thought.

In all seriousness, I am a fairly new member and I haven't been here whilst she was working but I do appreciate everything that she has done for the RA2 community!

R.I.P. Lu-tze, your great name will always live on through your work and friends at GTM.
Title: Re: DSL Looses one of their Main members.
Post by: RedAce on October 03, 2014, 01:50:56 PM: Way back then, I loved her work she has put in to her components, the earliest Robot Wars Arena, and helping out with DSL in general. She was a great person to help out and I appreciate all that she has done.

R.I.P Lu-tze. You will definitely be missed in the community.

So was I. I didn't start playing this until may 2013.
I hadn't even heard of DSL2. In fact, Sonny Resetti was where I had heard of the game.

You'll been missed, and you forever will be. You are one of the greatest ever.
