On the Pinhoti Trail, he received the name Mostly Harmless. After that night, Denim was next spotted at the Alabama/Georgia line in good spirits on Dec. The hiker also confirmed what Denim had told others-that he had been in IT in New York prior to starting the AT.

He loved sci-fi, fantasy, and video games, in fact, he had three hard drives full of the stuff back home. He had cut ties from his family because of his father, but spoke of an ex-girlfriend and possibly a sister. That night, they exchanged stories of childhood abuse by their fathers, and Denim recalled a time when his father ordered him outside to fight him in the yard. One hiker who spent the night with Denim near the end of the AT revealed more about Denim’s former life. More and more pictures appeared from his early trail days, yet no one could recall his true identity. Another hiker recalled Denim telling him he was from Brooklyn, New York. As a witty criticism of his foolishness, our unidentified man was first given the name ‘Denim,’ derived from his novice decision to wear jeans on the AT. It is considered tacky to choose your own nickname, so a hiker must earn or receive one from another hiker. A map of his journey began to emerge.Īround July 2017, one year before his death, a hiker met him on the Appalachian Trail (AT) in Maryland and noted him as “new to backpacking, but was very much enjoying the experience.” On long trails like the AT, hikers often adopt a nickname that serves as their identity on the trail. As word spread across the hiking community, more people remembered Mostly Harmless and posted their stories and pictures of him. She even had a picture of him holding a sticker to advertise the Florida Trail. She recalls being alarmed when he pulled out a piece of paper with a jagged line approximating the FT, rather than using an easy GPS map on a phone. She revealed his trail name was “Mostly Harmless” and he had been hiking the FT with the goal of reaching Key West. Within days, a woman from Crestview, FL, told police she had met the man as he was hiking a road walk section of the Florida Trail (FT). The image was initially met with backlash due to its unnerving nature, but it did the trick. Once the man’s body was removed from the humid wetland, a model of his face was designed and released to the public. On some of these pages was a mysterious ‘code.’ Oddly, the police could not find a single source of identification-no driver’s license, no credit card, no camping permits. They found him sitting against the thin wall of his lemon yellow tent, legs crossed, with notebook pages strewn about. At 5’8”, the man weighed a scant 83 pounds. On the remote Florida Trail, in the middle of Alligator Alley, police determined the man was not a victim of homicide. In July 2018, two young men discovered a body in a tent in South Florida. Perhaps a hazy memory exists somewhere in your mind that coincides with what we know about him. One of you may have met him on Screeps or been friends on Steam. This is where I need your help: one of you may know this man. This is a story about anonymity, social networks, and how a person can truly disappear in the modern age. I discovered the game through a curious avenue-the unidentified body of one of your players. Not because I'm angry or irritated, but simply because I don't have language skills to look like a diplomat, or a politician, or a big company official person.Hi all. Sometimes, however, I just may seem not super polite, but it's only because I lack some polite English phrases vocabulary that are often used in official speech. So it's really unfair to say that I don't take healthy discussions. 70% of the game is influenced by the interaction with the community starting from the very first crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and only 30% were my own ideas. Actually, Screeps is what it is due to these discussions. I follow such discussions very carefully, and not only on forum, but also on Slack (earlier IRC), Steam reviews, Reddit, etc. I love healthy discussions about the game of any sort. And as you can see, I'm always very patient even in such extreme cases. Not always attacks maybe, but getting personal - when someone starts to discuss the developers qualities instead of the game qualities. I just pointed out that at times there are actual personal attacks. You said I take healthy discussion about the game as personal attacks.
