Well Members, and especially to OilCan, that these "unfinished" scenarios are getting some updating, which will go into the Archives. I have been "bugging" the user creators for some time to get them updated. Not much of a response, although I don't know the reason for Arop to not have answers my PMs, and not creating any new scenarios.
Any way, although I know that many of the user creators have more important projects, in the necessity of a livelihood, I am glad, and give courage for OilCan to be attempting, and at least starting to up date these "unfinished" scenarios, of which he has also done in the past.
I, with I assume, many of the members, and especially those of us non-user creators, appreciated your attempt OilCan, and appreciate your time of such up dates which you have the talent and up date for the challenges. I especially am looking forward to the "unfinished" scenarios to be completed.

I'm of the opinion he's no longer with us, or this earth. I've emailed him several times with no reply.RayofSunshine wrote:although I don't know the reason for Arop to not have answers my PMs, and not creating any new scenarios.
He hasn't logged into the forum since Jan. of 2014.

If that's the case may he rest in peace. It seems likely as I found this: http://www.navne.dk/dodsfald/anders-rob ... 93?lang=en (age may be 1 year off, but the name matches and the Vestre Chapel is in Aarhus which he listed as his location on his profile. )
Re: Finally we have some action
Yep! That's his name and according to his profile here, it's the same birthday.
Thanks for finding that BH. At least now we know for sure.
He passed away Jan. 9, 2014, a day after his last login here.

Re: Finally we have some action
That's sad. I also wondered what happened to him, but this is worse than anything I imagined.
Re: Finally we have some action
Sorry to hear this. He was a nice bloke.

Re: Finally we have some action
It is very sad to know this.
Arop seemingly enjoyed creating maps. He certainly had his own very unique style. Many of his early maps were fictional based. I noticed that many of his later maps were real-place based. Regardless, he was a major map creator on this forum, maybe supplying more maps than any other map creator.
I enjoyed many of Arop's maps and I learned some of the finer nuances of the game from his maps.
He is certainly missed on this forum. I join others when I say, "May he rest in peace".

There's 5 RT2 maps by him and I believe 77 RT3 maps by him, not counting the German versions or other language versions.
