Hello, Tamarea, from the Ryzom team.
The ceremony in memory of Arionasis / Teeneemai will begin in 1h40
.
Explanations and speeches will be in English in around and in uni-EN. The uni-DE and uni-FR will be used for translations.
Players will speak in around in the language of their choice. We will see when the time comes if translators translate them live in the universe channels, otherwise we will translate them before publication on the forum.
We have chosen to use all three language universes for this ceremony, in addition to around, so that players who cannot be present can follow from afar via RC.

Hey there Tamarea 🙂
Tamarea Stable Boy 21:54
Good Evening everyone,
We are gathered here to celebrate the memory of Arionasis / Teeneemai, who sadly died from cancer on May 2 after a bitter struggle.
In choosing the location for the ceremony it was, of course, self-evident: what better place to pay tribute to him than the one place where he loved to stand to welcome and help the new players?
- Looks at Arionasis' banner lying on the ground for a long time and at his accompanying Yubo, who seems to be waiting for his friend's return.
- Courteously bows to them.
This ceremony will take place in several stages:
First of all, a time to speak: all those who wish to can come and say a few words to pay tribute to Arionasis, or indeed Teenemai, perhaps to tell an anecdote, or share a memory ...
fter words of kindness, a minute's silence will follow to give us all an opportunity to get lost in our thoughts and remember Arionasis / Teeneemai.
Lastly, we will pay a last and final tribute by placing ourselves in a position to form the letters ARI on the ground together (using flowers to help indicate where to place ourselves).
Everyone will then formulate a brief farewell message, and a single firework will be launched, as if to send Arionasis / Teeneemai all our final messages...
Before I give you the floor, I'd like to talk to you a little bit about Arionasis:
He had been fighting for several years against a cancer that deprived him of the use of speech. He could no longer communicate easily in his daily life, but here on Ryzom, he could and liked to do so.
He used his power of speech in Ryzom, taking the time to discuss problems with each player in need of help, to question Ulukyn to help him solve each strange technical ticket, or just sometimes, during off-peak hours, to chat a little with the players in
the universe.
Unfortunately, the cancer had not said its last word and came back elsewhere, in force, mercilessly...
Arionasis / Teeneemai knew he was doomed in the short term but wanted to continue his volunteer work for Ryzom until the last minute, to continue to be treated as a non-ill person until the end.
But also, and above all, for the love of the community that you all form together...
The Teeneemai player joined the Ryzom team, under the pseudonym Arionasis, in October 2016.
He contributed passionately to the Ryzom support team, and became quite key to the English Translations necessary to operate our multilingual platform.
Due to his efficiency, and also his reactivity, he had become my Communication Assistant and he was responsible for numerous urgent announcements. He was also very active in the test team.
Always motivated by his desire to help as much as possible, he had also just joined the Game Design team.
His death leaves in me a great void. I will keep the image of him as being a smiling, open, kind, devoted person, passionate about Ryzom and an excellent Support member. I will miss very deeply his human warmth...
May he rest in peace...
- Takes a long bow long before Arionasis' GM stick.
- Looks at everyone present.
Those who wish to speak should line up in front of me. I'll give the talking stick to the first, who will then give it to the second, and so on...
(Is there someone to translate the players in english?)
Trytrytry 22:21

Tamarea Stable Boy 22:24
(Thank you. If the words are in FR, we'll see if someone around can help.)
Trytrytry 22:24 ok 😎

She talked to me something and I was on my way to loose my group, which were still running straight to the Kirosta. At first I wanted to follow that player group, but after some steps I saw still her eye on me. I stopped and watched the backview… Then I tried to hide behind one of those hills there. But her eye never left me… ...After a minute I returned and stood in front of her again. Oh my, what would I say to her...?? 😃 Oh, I needed quickly an good idea, and yes I found some Kitins there and began to show her my new developed technic for killing Keepes: I took a sword in one hand and a second one to the other hand and started to beat them with strong cries and cool loopings. Oh yes, she was very impressed, and she didn‘t get tired to tell me nice things about my show for her. :-)) Oki, today I know, she simply thought, that guy needs urgently help with the Ryzom-game… 😃 She was honestly with me, because she told me from the beginning about her terminated illness. So we played always under macabre circunstances, because of her awful pains all the time. But I was firmly determined to leave her never and carry on with her until the end… One day she fell into my arms (Yes, it is possible ingame!), after what I fell into love with her…
- -D
From that time on nobody would be able to count all my tears; But know, tears will clean the thoughts. And cleaning thoughts are needed for finding honestly words… So the things went on, day after day. Mostly we played between around 13 and 18 o‘clock. Mai trained me to some masters over the month in spite of all her discomfort. I told her: Wherever I go, I‘m whispering your name in the wind … my dear Mai… You are always in my heart, and so if I go out you can see what I see… just theoretically. A bad thing I have to tell you, too: I had to learn to share her... 😕 because of her hot engagement for the problems of all those other homins on Atys… Indeed, she was our favourite! … For two times over these two years she was in the hospice for some weeks, and for two times she could win that awful struggle and could return to her beloved Atys. But now the final curtain is fallen at this third time… The last time I met her on Atys was at Atysmas 2018 the 23th december, that day before when she entered the hospice again. In the morning of the 24th I sent her a merry christmas mail with a funny screenshot artwork of our training the month before. She wrote to me at the afternoon on 24th. then: „My dear Giselher, Thank you for your lovely greeting. It cheered me up when I read it and saw the image. I received the phone call from the Hospice at 10 am today. I am now in the Hospice and I am looking forward to my treatment starting tomorrow. I will But this time the things changed not to a good way and I received more and more bad news about some complications. So her final words to me were from 20th April:
„My dear Giselher and Thomas, It is getting very hard for me so I will just wish you a Happy Easter. love and hugs Mai“ Now a word from me to heaven: Oh my dear Mai, I‘m sure, you got in well; As I told you, now you can be with your sweethearts again… :-) and drinking wine, too; In that way you liked it before your illness. And you know it already: You were not only the leader on Atys for me; Because you did also the last path before me, you gave me an mighty item on earth, too: Namely a fear-killer. That day when the death will knock on my door, I will give him just a smile: Do your Job quickly, please! I‘m looking forward cos soon I will meet my dear Mai again... Thank you for your attention my dears...

I am going to speak loudly so that all can hear, and I promise to be brief. I knew Teeneemai from her time in Phaedreas Tears, and then afterwards when she formed Tyneetryks Tears. For me, she is tied up in my memories with Tyneetryk. She was Tynee's best friend, and helped Tynee in her last days before Tynee fell to the same enemy that took Mai. Teeneemai held to service to all the homins in Atys, new and old, energetic and tired. It surprized me, but then did not surprize me when it turned out that the same soul was also Arionasis, one of the most friendly of the CSRs. I'm going to miss her terribly, just as I miss Tyneetrk every day. And I know that they are together in heaven and free of pain. Thank you, Tamarea, for organizing this memorial. -- My words are done.

Greetings, dear Homins. My speech is quite short. There are no words that can express my sadness. Ari was a reassuring presence, standing vigil right here, helping all of us on our journey through Atys. Answering the strangest questions, solving the most unusual tickets, providing great advice and words of encouragement. Always friendly and cheerful, he was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have had the pleasure of meeting in this community. I will forever remeber him fondly, as I am sure we all will. Farewell, Ari. You are missed tremendously and you will never be forgotten.

Sometimes the words one would like to say seem trivial. So the emotions we would like to say are perhaps much better expressed by a bunch of music notes.... While the other members of our community tell you their feelings , I suggest you to listen two songs that I chose for you, thinking about she who now sails under other skies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_HlmWmU51g (SVansay Farewell Angelina - JOAN BAEZ - With lyrics, this one is especially dedicated to Tamarea, Ryzom team and close friends) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9UVH38U84 (Codexcd 01 Phil Woods - The Summer Knows - Laid Back Jazz, Vol. III )

Hello,
It is good to see you all here, though under the worst of circumstances. I know that it would truly touch Mai/Ari to see you all here, in support of him. He loved this place… It gave him the freedom that his body craved and this horrid disease had stolen from him. He truly lived his life here… with all of us, and we gave him a reason to keep fighting. There was much to do… and boy did he know how to do it! It gave him great joy to be able to give someone guidance, advice, to make someone laugh, to lend an ear. It gave him a sense of self worth, that this disease tried to rob him of. It came as no surprise to discover that Mai was also Ari. His patience and kindness made him well suited for the position. This was truly a gift to us all. To receive so much from someone who was in need, himself. That is the truest act of love that I can imagine. I am thankful to have had the chance to know him, the man behind that spunky little Tryker image. He is missed, but my heart has found solace in knowing that he has joined our dear friend Tyneetryk. What a joyous embrace that must have been! May they watch over us as we stumble around this crazy rootball without them both. Thank you to all who helped prepare this service, and to all of you for attending.

Arionasis helped me personally with much advice ... in ryzom forum i gave personal thanks but as inexperienced player and yet HO by appointment of my guild I feel the need toalso give tribute to Arionasis in parting he strengthened me in my resolve and helped as far as possible to someday if possible get the guild back into more active status, with a GL, a successor, a home city a GH that goal may or may not be achieved someday but it was just like ARionasis to nevertheless make that attempt I and for sure all of my guild, are thus truly indebted to him I and for sure all of my guild, are thus truly indebted to him we shall hold him in dear memory ever. ty all, for allowing my such parting words 😎 ty all, for allowing my such parting words 😎

Greetings all, My first memory of Ari was my return from a number years break from Atys. He was the first CSR to respond to my ticket to restore my characters. We talked at length and was always fast to see if I got taken care of with this. Even tho the ticket was handed off to Tixi, he always checked to make sure it went through ok. We then talked about how long I was gone from the game, when I started Ryzom (which was during Nevrax closed beta). He was even upset for me to find out my early beta account could not be recovered. Since then it was chat about different things I found as exploits or my concerns about scripting macros. I won’t discuss any detail, but it was a fun conversation. After this, I joined some of the volunteer teams and met a different but still pleasant side of Ari. Many times we didn’t see eye to eye on topics and had our spats. But it was always with respect and seemingly mutual understanding. I never knew about the health struggles, and the day I found out he was gone…. I can’t say the words that I yelled out in real life. You will be missed Ari, I was supposed to learn from you in life not after 😞 Thank you all for staying long enough to hear my tribute.

Thank you.
Tamarea
We are now going to observe a minute's silence in memory of Arionasis / Teeneemai. (Please no emotes during this minute.)
- Lowers her head.
...
- Raises her head.
In order to pay a last tribute to Arionasis / Teeneemai, we will take place as to form all together the letters ARI on the ground. Look up hillside, you will see discreet flowers forming the three letters. Please, align on them! You can now say a farewell word... and then I will launch a single firework to send all your messages to Arionasis / Teeneemai.
Lhyrs 00:19
goodbye Teeneemai
Tamarea
Launches the single firework.
To close this ceremony, I invite those CSR's present to bow to Arionasis' banner, followed by all the players who wish to. The CSR will then equip their banners, as a symbol of taking up the torch.
Although they wanted to assist with this ceremony, some people couldn't be here for RL reasons. So, Arionasis' banner will stay by Chiang the Strong tower for several days to allow people to come and pay respect.
The ceremony log will be published on the forum.
As for the little Yubo, he will definitely remain here, watching over the people of Silan, as Arionasis loved so much to do...
Farewell, Arionasis / Teeneemai, we will never forget you...
