Nalaka (ODDBODD) Committed suicide

[Danny]

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.

[Osiris The Fleech]

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

[PinkHaired Mudokon CWR]

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

[Sl'askia]

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!

[PinkHaired Mudokon CWR]

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

[FuzzyFuzzle]

...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)

[bobvilax2000]

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

[RoN_Rancor]

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

[DarkHoodness]

Yikes. . . I don't know what to say. . . Oh well, at least he's still alive and recovering. . .
I went to bed very early today because I wanted to catch up on sleep, but then I woke up again about 4 hours later with a nagging thought, so I went online and saw this topic.
Talk about 6th sence. . .
Oh well, glad Oddbodd is okay (Get well soon!), and I don't have that nagging thought anymore. . . Yeesh. . . Now, none of you go commiting suicide now, okay? Be safe. Love life.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*I still don't know whether this is a hoax or not. You'll have to forgive me; I'm always too trusting of people, and I've been burned many times in the past because of that.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Since I first read this yesterday, I've been feeling sad and depressed ever since. I hadn't known that I could get so emotional over someone I've never even met and vaguely know. You had better thank your lucky stars that you have friends from all over the world like us that are here for you.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*There are only three things that can make me mad, one of which is seeing or hearing of a person that thinks that killing themself will end all of their suffering. You see, that's where all of the real suffering begins.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Hear this and remember this: You are Not a victim! For whatever reason(s) you think that you should have done what you did, you're utterly wrong. But You Should know that everything that has happened to you, including the stuff that happened up to that point, didn't happen because the world is against you. It has been given to you not to hurt you, but to make you stonger.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*I can't and won't forgive you unless you can learn from this incident, and also realize for yourself that everything that has happened previous to this event has also been a learning experience. It's right there in front of your face, especially now. I hate to see somebody try and waste themselves like that, and if you really try, you can experience the pure rapture of just being alive. Excuse me, I can't even finish.

i am sooooooo depressed about it! i was crying at school today and everyone was felling sorry for me! GET WELL BUD!

[ODDBODD]

Good and Bad news people.
It’s me Marko again, I have been checking on Nalaka today and he is feeling terrible. I really shouldn't be telling you guys this but I asked the doctor if he is feeling all right and she said "Physically he might pull through but I just don't know mentally."
He is able to talk (but not able to go to the computer Lampion????) And we talked for a while. I brought up the subject about posting to the forums and he got pretty sad. I think it was because he was planning to well you know.
The good news is that he COULD pull through, he lost a lot of blood and passes out very often. He got a piece of paper and wrote something for you guys.

"Fellow Oddworld-forum-reply-clickers
All I wanna say is that you guys rock and was the only reason why I didn’t go…the full length (you know.)
I hope that I will recover and that you not worry so much over me. Thanks.
PS: Hopefully you guys haven’t decided who the new moderator will be : ) If you have it better not be that damn Leviathan PILOT. He should have been killed by the fishbowl!!! Lol, just playing. If it should be anyone to be moderator it's that dude right there.
Marko told me about what you guys said and I also just wanna say that things might not"

I’m sorry but he went to sleep so he didn’t get to finish. He gets really tired sometimes. Well if you see anyone else in Oddchat, please it’s not him. Believe me, he can’t get out of bed let alone sit down and type.

/////edit: Sorry missed parts of the letter

Thanks Marco, for letting us know how Nalaka is going. I'm sorry to have told that he was at the Oddchat, but I really thought it was him. the person who did that at Oddchat doesn't deserve much respect for playing with people's fellings. I'm happy that Nals is getting better physically.

[abe333]

i hate when people do that!!!!!!!!!!! they say they are this person! but they arn't!WHO EVER SAID THAT THEY ARE ODDBODD SHOULD FELL AWFULL!!!!!!!!!!

[General Drippik]

Thanks for the update marco. I sure hope he writes another letter to us!

[abe333]

stay in there!!

(SPAM, DON'T GIVE A SH%T!!!!!!!)

[abe333]

What hospital is he in????? I will loveeee to visit him!! i am 13, male, from sydney.

[ODDBODD]

Sorry but i should tell you this, even though i just posted reccently. I had just got word from Nalaka's father that Nalaka's heart had stopped beating. His body totally shut off.
Thank God that the doctors got there in time and helped him get a heartbeat back. Still he is in constant shock and tries to get out of bed.

[Oddness]

Yikes! I really hope he pulls through this. I don't suppose he's allowed visitors, is he? What hospital is he at, if you don't mind telling us?

[abe333]

*speechless.... nearly cries*

HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBlueScrab]

Awww..poor Oddbodd!
I´m sorry for him!
That is terrible how can a human do such things?
Freaky what do you mean with the sentences on the first page on this topic?
Well, you talk weird words.
I hope that Oddbodd get´s better soon!!!

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

My God... I felt physically shocked, as though someone had slapped me, when I read that his heart had stopped beating...
I'm so glad that he's still alive, and I really hope that he recovers.

Hang in there. We don't want to lose you.

[Robbo]

Hang in there ODDBODD. Shit, I don't know what else to say.....

[Xavier]

Oh no! It really is true! OMG.... When it was first posted I thought it was a sick joke and followed Sydmans advice and ignored it! Then Munchy told me it was true! I didn't realize.....OMG...Why??????
But....GET WELL SOON ODDBODD! I might have got annoyed with you but you are a really cool person and a great friend. *Speechlees tears roll down face*
I nearly fell off my chair when I heard his heart stopped.
All I can say is
GET WELL SOON AND DON'T DIE ON US!!!

[Niteowl]

I didn't know what to think/say either when I first read about this...

Hang in there Oddbodd. If you die on us, the birds won't bring ya back. You have a lot of friends on this board pulling for ya. Our prayers are with you.

[Oddworld Master]
