Posted by Keitaro I know lots of people who have faked their own death. This doesn't seem like a real one to me. Just my two cents. |

I read this thread earlier, but passed it by.. To tell the truth, that's why I passed it by, because it'd be ridiculously easy to fake your own death on the internet.. And I'm not saying that to be cold, but.. look at how the project went. It had a long history about it where it seemed the creator did nothing, where he looked to have dropped the project, or just where it all seemed fake - period.
If it were me, and I had been building up hype for a fake project for several years.. Yea, faking my own death would be an excellent method in getting out of it and moving on with my life without any ridicule.. 
Mind you, if he did pass on, so be it.. It is indeed a shame if that is the case.. But uh.. hit by a car? As in.. walking down the street, and bam? Not a car accident, but hit by a car.. I dunno, that on top of his history doesn't seem very believable to me.. I'm not trying to be disrespectful either, but people keel over every day.. can't take a bit of speculation like this too harshly, especially not over the internet of all things. (Besides.. if I keeled over tomorrow, no one would be on the internet for ME to tell people I kicked it.. because no one would know who to contact, what to say, etc.. it is pretty hard to contact people virtually over this sort of thing, unless he had a lot of friends whom were genuinely interested in his project.. which while plausible, is still not evidence either way.) |

Granted, I see your points, and if this guy does turn out to be faking his death...well, that's really the lowest of lows ;\ |

Posted by Krisan ThymeYou obviously don't know about lilo. Dying from being hit by a car is by no means "impossible". Getting slammed into by a 2-ton hunk of metal travelling at 45 (or more!) MPH is pretty much instant death, or damn close. I was lucky to get out of it with a scrape or two :/ ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Xk getting hit by a car? Now I've heard everything.
Anyway if this guy is faking his death it would be just stupid. He could of at least let someone else take over the project for him or at least announce that he wasn't continuing on with it. But if he is dead...R.I.P. Dampe. |

Yes, I was, quite a while ago (many years).
Don't get too amazed, though; it was on a residential street, low-speed, and I mostly came out of it with nothing but a scrape on my right arm and the experience of what it's like to faint. (Answer: Sleep, but black.) Although my experience was nice in that the guy was kind enough to leave a business card as he drove off... the accident report was never finished (there's a copy of it somewhere in the back bedroom at my grandparents')  ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Flurry #&postrank& I got hit by a car while biking once too, but it was even less ... the car was only coming out from a parking at low speed, so I hardly got hurt at all (fell off the bike and that's it) 
Now if it was a car going offroad at full speed and hitting someone, then yes it happens, I see that in the newspaper every once in a while ... the victims aren't always random nobodies either ____________________ |

One time when coming out of a parking lot a car that was on the opposite side of the road cut right across all of the lanes without any sort of signal and went up onto the curb just centimeters away from me. I was really shocked and didn't even think of getting the license plate number. After that the person just backed up and continued on their way . |

I got hit by a car seven years ago while crossing the street in a crosswalk. The street (one way, two lanes) was clear for several blocks except for a Jeep in the near lane waiting for us to go. I walked into the far lane and found myself on the hood of a car staring at the sky. I went flying, landed on my head, and slid on my back for 10 feet or so. I had a strained neck and a cracked fibula, and I consider myself lucky. The asshat who hit me never apologized, and she lied to the police and claimed that I hadn't been in a crosswalk. I therefore had no qualms about suing her for damages. It wasn't like winning the lottery, but at least I got some compensation for having the rest of my semester fucked up.
Someone I knew in college got hit by a car and died. |

I got hit by a slow-moving tractor a long time ago. Managed to duck and roll to avoid being run over by the wheels that were at least a meter in diameter. |

I was thrown from a moving vehicle going at 40 miles per hour.....at 6 years old. Luckily I knew what the words "duck and roll" meant. XD I didn't even get any scratches. I was lucky. ____________________

Dear Magic Internet,
Did Dampe fake his death? ...... Signs point to yes. |

Posted by HyperHacker Yes, we can, because all those points are valid and I came to the same conclusion after finding the exact same fucking points a few days earlier. It's bullshit. |

Flurry #&postrank& I even found this from a post after following a few links from there ...

* Xkeeper is somehow not suprised
Oh well, all he had to do was say "I'm done with this project; I can't handle it anymore, please stop bugging me about it", leave (and/or create a new name for himself, it's the fucking internet) and suprise! Except now he has internet hate after him. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Wow, I can't believe he would fake his death just to cancel OoT2D, unless that's an April Fool's joke... |

I doubt anyone would be low enough to fake their own death (thus you know, greatly hurting close friends of their who, by the reactions on the forum, seemed legitimately saddened) to get out of finishing a project. I also doubt any of his friends, and such a large amount no less, would agree to to along with such a terrible hoax, apparently his brother included? (at least the first post makes mention of his brother). I am however inclined to believe that someone is low enough to make these kind of commments, thanks for proving that one ;\ come on, even if you truly believe it to be fake is that really appropriate?
