Hello old friends/new friends and the Community.

Ok i have been getting a lot of people asking me why i am not around, well i am not very well and been forced away from the keyboard and mouse.
Few months ago i got a bump to my head and things just gone downhill since, i have tinnitus which will never go away and have lost part of my hearing.
But the worse part is the thing that is stopping my from getting on my pc, something is attacking my nerve's and is causing Serve nerve damage in my right shoulder, left shoulder, left arm, left hand/ fingers, and upper left side chest and neck. pain scale is 10/10.
My target is to get past christmas then back into hospital i do not want to spend time in hospital for Christmas, it as took me a few weeks to make 1 map sadly there very limit media and i got wrong from a nadeo member while making it on Discord.

Only close friends have know why i am not active.
not been able to make maps for the Community really upsets me, because TM as been with me from the start 2003, but it was my birthday on the 19th and to see Trackmania 15 years was nice !

Will i return to TM Community, i sadly do not know, would love to say yes but not the way i am feeling right now, and i am getting no better no matter how much i rest.
I have put plans forward with my brother in law to inform the right people if the worse happens ! and to close down all my sites...

I would love to add a huge thankyou for been apart of my life, and making it fun.
WRAITH

ps i hate social media sites so i request yous not to post anything on them about me, as this is my private life, and wanted to share it with yous here THX

Hi I hope you'll get better, take time for yourself, rest, your health is the most important thing don't forget that, you will have plenty of time after to do more content if you want.

So sad to hear this Wraith!
You certainly will be missed cause you are part of this one great community and you did so much for this community already!

I hope you can indeed celebrate christmas at home because thats the place to celebrate!
Last monday you have send me a video you received from a player for your birthday. And you were telling me that it made you so happy it was for your birthday, but even more that it was on your smurf map. It made me feel so good and now i hear this

To honour you and i know this vid made you happy, i post it here again!



Take care Tom and i really hope your life will be looking a lot better then it is right now, and believe me, it will get better!

Greetz from a friend!

Hello dear friend
I'm devasted to read that. You're one of the key members of this community, your presence with other's is what kept it livable.
I hope you'll have a great Christmas with your family, make it legendary. Take all the time you need to get well. I can assure you that we're with you, whatever happens. I'm sending you a virtual hug
Thank you for being what you are and for doing what you do

Sorry you're going through this. It's not easy when your body keeps you from doing the things you love the most.

Just know you're a treasured part of the community, whether you can play or not. Always with the creative ideas, pushing the game forward.

i wrote you a message on our discord

I don't know you very well wraith, but this post is heartbreaking. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels like that you're going through. Spend your time well with family and friends! Here's to hoping for better times in the future!

Sad to hear what is happening to you @ the moment ! Take care and I hope the best for you !

Oh my,
I am really happy to see that Wraith has decided to write that note to share with community here.
This is something you won't hear often from me but, I must say after reading the posts from fellow TM fans, Wraith fans and from Tom himself, I have a tear in my eye. This is not a tear of sadness, but rather from happiness. It is so nice to see such warmth, love and fellowship. This sense of friendship is one of the things I really do love about this community and I know Tom does too. I know it isn't something that everyone here feels or experiences, but there is a rather large collection of friends here that seem connected at a really rare and wonderful level. It is just one more reason I too love being part of this community.
I had heard about the video and was hoping to see it. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Many may know I have become very good friends with Tom, especially over this past year and I know he has had a tough go of things (he hasn't even told half the things he struggles with right now). Trackmania is one of his greatest passions and I personally know this is really tough for him to not be a part of the community right now. I know these messages will carry a lot of smiles and happiness to him. Thank you to all!
I have heard him say a lot of really nice things about many people here. (It's the kind of talking behind people's backs that you want! )
Take Care Tom and enjoy the holiday season. Rest up and we will see you when you are ready.

It's making me sad to read that, buddy. Best wishes from me, get well soon.
See you hopefully soon when you feel better, keep the faith. And don't forget to take care!
God bless
