R.I.P.

R.I.P. He will be remembered.

Dang. I don’t even know what to say. RIP

F. Seraphim, I thank him for everything he has done, a stellar moderator and my favorite Ninja, He really cared about OT. My condolences to his family, Its never easy losing someone.

Damn, really? That sucks so badly, he always seemed like a nice person on any of his comments. This is really saddening. R.I.P.

I was not expecting to hear this… Can’t find the right words, which I’m sure everyone else is also feeling like. I wish I got to talk to him as much as most of you have, but I’m afraid that I have only really talked to him once, asking if it was possible to be a ninja. This was a while back, when I was newer to OT, so he so explained it to me, and we had a nice conversation. It’s sad that it was my first and only one with him. He seemed like such a nice person, and personally I looked up at him, so I can only imagine how you all feel. I’m so sorry. Of course, I’ll be praying for his friends and family, and you that knew him here…

No….RIP buddy. He was one of the good ones. Will be praying for his family and friend.

WHAT?!? That guy was one of my favorite ninjas! Man, I'm really sad right now. May he rest peacefully.

I didn't know the guy well, but he was always one of the "cool" ninjas, if you know what i mean. Especially in the early banbot days, i feel like he was one of the go-to mods when you had to vent out frustrations about bs censoringh on the cite. He always gave me the impression that he had a gift for listening to others, even if he didn't always have all the answers, and i'm glad he was able to share that gift while he was here. I'm gonna miss seeing that awesome winged absol around. But hey, maybe, when we all get there someday, we'll find that he's moderating the afterlife and helping people up there.

What the -blam!- -blam!-. I didn’t interact with him much, but when I did he was very helpful and kind. Life is cruel sometimes

Damn, that sucks.

I have so many fond memories of gaming with Seraphim. Mostly raids: a couple flawlesses, lots of random raid runs, and he was always up for helping with newbie runs too. Even though we were in completely different timezones, he’d set an alarms to wake up at ridiculous hours just to join us. Party chat was always full of shenanigans, laughs and interesting conversations. Rest in peace, friend. You will be greatly missed. 🧡

[quote]It’s with a heavy heart that I have the unfortunate responsibility to share with you that [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/User/Profile/254/1093770/Seraphim%20Crypto]Seraphim Crypto[/url], a friend and community moderator, passed away over the weekend. For the past couple of months, he had been in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain aneurysm. I keep typing and deleting what I write because I can’t find the right words to describe Seraphim and the loss that we all feel. He was a friend, and I considered him a colleague on the forums. He spoke often of his partner in a loving and playful way. He was often chatting about something in our Discord, usually moderation stuff, but others things, too. It wasn’t uncommon to open up a chat and see him chatting away with someone about something random. I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to meet him once. He was from Germany, and because Bungie considered him one of the leaders from that community, we flew him to Seattle to take part in a community summit. It was an all-day event, so I only managed to chat with him for about 10 minutes before he had to get back to it, and he was leaving the next day so that’s all the time we had to say hi, but I purposely left my desk to go meet him when I heard he was visiting. While he was excited to be at Bungie, I was excited to see him. I’ve known him since 2015 through the website and Discord, but had never met him in-person nor seen his face before. We took a photo to capture the moment. In 2015, he was asked to become a Mentor to help our Germany community. He wanted his avatar to be a [url=https://i.chzbgr.com/full/8075904768/h853AE74E/is-mega-absol-sephiroths-pok%C3%A9mon]fanart of Mega Absol[/url] from Pokemon because it represented his username well (Seraphim – Angel wings; Crypto – Dark/Shadow Pokemon type in German). In 2017, we gave him Ninja powers to help moderate the website, but he never stopped trying to help people and answer their questions. I found this quote inside a private thread from that time, when he was asked why he wanted to become a Mentor: [quote]”I'm a person that loves to help other people out of many reasons, the simplest one that it keeps me happy. Also, I'm a fan of Bungie since my mate introduced Halo 2 to me in 2005. And ever since the beta, I'm amazed by Destiny. Earlier this year I came back to Bungie.net forums and noted the #Help-Forum. I dived in there and answered a few questions. People thanked me and it made me happy. So I started helping people everyday and that led to an invitation of Bungie to join this team. I decided to join the ranks because I want to give the community back the love they gave me!”[/quote] Most recently, he helped me find websites in Germany for the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/articles/4402601695252]Mental Health Resources[/url] that is now live. He was really happy to help with that. When he wanted to relax, he’d post in OffTopic, which is why this is in here. Sometimes he’d answer random moderation questions in here, and other times share his opinion about a game. Some of you would even create threads about him, hoping he’d respond. He enjoyed it. I ask that you share any fond memories you have of him. I will be sharing this with his partner, and I think they’d appreciate seeing what we share. Rest in peace, Seraphim. We miss you.[/quote] RIP.

Oh my god. I only really talked to him a bit, but he was such a great guy. I will miss seeing him on these forums but I’m glad you guys got to know him! Let his memory build us up as Better humans, I’ll miss you Crypto. Eyes Up Guardian. Rest. In. Peace. Seraphim.

Rest easy dude.

Please give Seraphim's partner and family my best wishes. He was a great friend that I had also first met in 2015. One of the most positive people I'd ever had the pleasure of knowing. Rest easy Seraphim.

Incredibly sad news. Condolences to his family and many friends. I remember meeting and gaming with Crypto back in 2015. A bunch of us would run Destiny raids every Tuesday and have the occasional Halo community carnage events. He was always kind and willing to help out anyone with anything from questions to completing raids. I haven’t played Destiny for years, though will always have those fond memories with Crypto. He will be sorely missed, rest easy..

I wish I had more to share, or a better sentiment to make, but unfortunately I’m not great with this kind of thing. You were my favorite ninja, though, and I’ll miss seeing you around. Rest in peace, my friend.

~ Rest in Eternity, Seraphim ~

I was never interacted a lot with Crypto, with one of the things I remember most was him beating me in a Halo match. But he always seemed like an amazing person. I hope that he rests well, and knows how much we all liked him.
