Nalaka (ODDBODD) Committed suicide
 

I'm Nalaka's brother in law, I have tragic news to give you.

Yesterday after midnight Nalaka's cousin Troy came into Nalaka's room to find him unconscious and his hands covered in blood. For reasons I cannot tell you, the person you know as Oddbodd had cut his wrist.
He was rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible, and thankfully is still alive but in terrible condition. Nalaka had written a note and in the middle of it was a part for your guys. He told me to tell you that you guys were all a big part of him and he wants to thank you all. He also left a message for a guy named Sydman, it said "Sydney remember what I told you" and that was it.
I hope that he will pull through, you see he has lost a lot of blood and the doctors have done all they can to fix the damage. It is only up to him to do the rest. Please pray for him.

If this isn't the same sick guy that said the same sort of thing about D.H, I am... I dunno what I am.....

I hope this ain't true.

I hope this is true , and ur not lieing. I've talked to ODDBODD and he didn't seem suicidial to me.

But anyways, if this is true tell him that if you die you'll never see Munch every again, so you gotta pull through.

If it is true I hope that Oddbodd will be ok.
If it's not true then what would be the point of making it up?

Oh well, don't die on us Oddbodd!

I honestly don't know what to say. When I saw this topic I could physically feel my heart sink. I was speaking to Oddbodd last night on OddChat. Before he left, he said "No matter what happens in the next few days, remember what I told you."

He made me promise not to tell anyone what he said, so I wont, but I never would have guessed he would attempt suicide. My prayers and hopes are with you Oddbodd. I know you'll pull through.

oh my god, don't go oddbodd please! i am crying now!!! :( :( :( :( :( please pull threw, plleeaasseee.
i wil pray for you every night! hope you pull threw buddy!
:(

Hi, Sydney. I was expecting a comfirmation before replying to this message, and your reply did that. I came here expecting that it was another joke, but after reading the message posted by Marco (his brother in law) my worries increased.

Nalaka is a great guy. I've talked to him through MSN messenger several times, and I consider him one of my "digital" friends.

This is for you Nals: I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON, FOLK, AND TELL US YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE ALMOST AFTERLIFE...

Oh no... I haven't been here for very long but Oddbodd seems like a really nice guy and it's terrible for this to happen to anyone :(

My prayers are with you, Nalaka.

me to! HANG IN Nalaka! :(

No one should be pushed this far to try and commit suicide. You should be able to live and experience the joys and pains of life.

My thoughts and prays go out to you, i know that we all hope you get better, and fast.

Don't die on us, the little place on Oddworld called Oddbodd would never be the same...

Good news. I was at Oddchat a few minutes ago and Oddbodd just dropped in. He said that he was in the Hospital, but he couldn't talk too much, then he leaved. I hope he gets better soon.

Edit: Sorry folks, according to Marco, Nalaka's brother in'law, the person who was at oddchat using the nick "ODDBODD" wasn't him, actually. I really thought it was him.

*getting sweaty*

I don't get it, another person I know who wants to escape from this world...

When I get confronted with these things I get nervous and feel bad.

I don't know what to say.

I am very sorry to hear this. But Lampion's message was a little bit more assuring. Thanks Lampion.

Oddbodd, you know you have had a friend here for quite some time in me, and with many others as well. You call me STARK, your code name for Steel Shark, only you can use it, so get back here and start using it. Just recover well. I'd like to give you some advice, but that's the last thing you need at this time.When You want to talk just let me know when you are ready, we will talk. Now get better, and stay away from those SOBE drinks.......... ;)

So it IS true!! Damn... :(

I read this while at work earlier, actually Sydney told me about the topic, but only now am I posting.

I was driving home from work and just realized that you never think that something like this would happen to someone you know (even someone online). I have chatted to Oddbodd many times in the past (I know Oddbodd, you thought I blocked you, but I just don't use MSN anymore), and would never have thought of this.

We all know Oddbodd as a happy go lucky person who is the first to crack a joke and have a laugh. I guess real life must hold something different for this to happen.

It is good news from Lampion though... I wish Oddbodd a quick recovery... and just remember that us in the forum and Oddworld community are here for you.

"Maybe it was the SoBe that made you do it"

(I know, it's not a joking matter, but the joke line above is meant to reflect the happy person we saw here. Oddbodd was the first to provide a laugh, so let's see a light heart side for him too).

Abe Babe...

I wonder why he did it.

i was on oddchat with lampion when he came on, GET BETTER BUD!

Get better soon, Oddbodd! We'd all miss you terribly here at the Forums and the board wouldn't be the same without you.

*sends metaphorical hugs*

Uh... sorry if hugs aren't your thing, but... ;) Hurry up and get better, anyway...

Glad you're okay Oddbodd! We're all waiting for your return, remember that you'll always be a most welcome character here.

I hope you are feeling better, Oddbodd. There are a lot of people here who care about you. Having not been here that long, it would be presumptuous to call myself your friend so soon, but it's obvious that you do have lots of good friends here, and I hope to become your friend, too, as time goes on. :)

Oh no! Tell me it isn't true!

But it is. I just saw it immediatly. That is not ODDBODD's style of writing. Either true or a sick joke.

It's true, it seems.

Hope you get better soon, ODDBODD.

Oh, man I took a quick glance at this topic this morning and thought it was a dumb joke but I guess I was wrong. Well, what can I say... get better Oddbodd.

i'm so glad you're okay, Oddbodd! I really hope you get better in the next days that we all can talk together!
I also thought that was a only bad joke at the beginning and i was shocked, but since i heard that you've been on OddChat for a short time, i know that you are alive!

what a luck! *takes deep breath*!!

um... suicide... But... I can understand him, this feeling if everything sux and you only feel pain... the feeling...
blood running down your arms .... terrible thought. terrible feeling.
I should talk to Oddbodd, maybe I could help him.

--

Geea, you guys are great! :)

other than 'get well soon' i can't think of anything else to say...

I remember Oddbodd when I came here. God, it's terrible. Our prayers are with you, Oddbodd. Get well soon...

why would you want to tell people that you commited suicide anyways?

I suppose to help you cope through it. Times of great pain (be it physical or emotional) are easier when you have support.

I wish him a swift recovery.

To be honest, when I first saw this topic, my first thought was "Oh no, that hacker 's back," but when I learned that it was true, my blood ran cold.

Now, I know that Oddbodd and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but I still think that he is an integral part of our lives here, and life without him would seem very empty. I cannot understand why he would want to end his life, but if he doesn't wish it to be known, then I will respect that.

Please return soon, and remember that you are loved. Like that of all of us here, your life is worth living. Just remember that, and stay with us.

Okay, if oddbodd knew the bible very well, then he would know that commiting suicide is a sin. I don't get that. why would he want to live his life? without him, everything would be stupid (besides me! LOL) and boring and just stupid.

Hang in there ODDBODD!! Bob still has to find the holy grail!

If he did commit suicide, I hope the doctors can do all they can! *sob* NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

When I first saw this I also immediately thought it was that hacker again. But as I read through and realized it was true I didn't know what to think...or feel for that matter. No I don't mean to be insensitive...I just have a hard time with expressing emotions (heck..when my mother died of breast cancer almost a year ago I barely shed any tears...its wasn't because I didn't love her...its just how I am :(. I hate it too...I feel like I am an emotionless rock or something sometimes. blah..I'm rambling...).
Anywho...get well and return to us Oddbodd! We miss you already! Even if you did annoy us with your excessive use of the CAPSLOCK ;), but hey that's you...all the power to ya! Get well!

Yeah, He has the most mad gravy site yo. *blows nose*. Get Well soon Oddbodd.

:(...That's so sad...but the topic title could have at least said "Nalaka (ODDBODD) attempted suicide". When I first read it I was very shocked...but after reading the first post I was very glad to know he was at least alive...We all miss you and your very unique sense of humor ODDBODD. You contribute so much humor to our forums, and this is as good as time as any to tell you so. Get better soon!

when i read the topic name, i thought it was a joke or a hacker or something. but now that i read it, im deeply sorrowed that it happened. but im so glad hes ok.(im like you drag. when my grandmother died, i didnt cry at all. i was just depressed and shocked)

I'm a newbie, but I don't care. Oddbodd rules! Come back and entertain the masses!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Oddbodd, please pull through. Our thoughts are with you. Get better soon.
