These are some of the hardest words I’ve ever had to write, and I hope you’ll forgive me if they don’t quite come out right.
On the 23rd of July 2007, we lost a good man, a veteran of Siege, and a dear friend.
Clifton “Cliff” Allen, known to the people of Siege Perilous as Ginsu and Aeric Horn, tragically died of a heart attack, aged 45.

I first met Ginsu about a month after starting on Siege.
He welcomed me like a long-lost brother, as was his way, and fell over himself backwards to help me learn all he could teach about survival and fun on Siege.
Thanks to him, I met some of the best friends I’ve ever know in UO.
Since then, I’ve heard similar stories from more people than I can count.
He was extremely passionate about everything he set his hand to - pouring his heart and soul into it, taking it extremely personally when things didn’t quite work out, and rejoicing like a proud new father when they did. His energy and drive were an inspiration.
He was one of the best of a dying breed - the true role-player.
He loved justice, and lived the role of a knight, bringing justice to the lands of Siege. His writings were extensive, and always a fine read. Some of his works can be found here.
There will be a candle-light vigil held in his memory this Sunday, July 29th, at 4pm central time.
All are welcome.
His obituary follows below, but his memory will live on in the hearts of the people he touched forever.
