One thing I’ve always wondered about... just before the siege Smith, who was playing an online game with friends using the handle evilrat666.. remarked ‘if we make it through the night.’
Did the laptop he was playing on have the camera turned on? Was Benghazi taped from the inside of the consulate?
Was Benghazi taped from the inside of the consulate?....Sincerely, I’d imagine so. The government is inept and ineffective but when they cover their ass, they are very efficient.

“My people, I have greivous [sic] news. Vile Rat has been confirmed to be KIA in Benghazi; his family has been informed and the news is likely to break out on the wire services soon,” wrote Goonswarm director Alex Gianturco in a message mirrored to Something Awful at 11:21 EST. “Needless to say, we are in shock, have no words, and have nothing but sympathy for his family and children. I have known Vile Rat since 2006, he was one of the oldest of old-guard goons and one of the best and most effective diplomats this game has ever seen.”
According to his friends, Smith had emerged as a key leader for the community, and was known as a senior guild diplomat who helped engineer the destruction of Goonswarm’s chief rival, the Band of Brothers. He let his guildmates design his tattoo. On Wednesday, Gianturco posted an obituary for his friend of more than six years. “He was on jabber when it happened, that’s the most f*cked up thing,” Gianturco wrote. “In Baghdad the same kind of thing happened – incoming sirens, he’d vanish, we’d freak out and he’d come back ok after a bit. This time he said ‘F*CK’ and ‘GUNFIRE’ and then disconnected and never returned.”
