Today is a sad day for us on HP, as we have lost a legendary former player and staff member, Tronic (aka Allison).

Known as our resident "Moosetress", Tronic was long-time player, a beloved moderator and then administrator on HP, from 2013-2018. Prior to joining HP in its early days, she was also a HL survivor like a lot of us. While on HP, she was known for being kind, friendly, and a loyal friend to all. Her chosen main breed was Andalusians, and she was proudly the Andalusian Ambassador when we first introduced Breed Embassies to the game. 

Outside of her Andalusian lines she was extremely proud of, she also participated in the mascot contest in multiple years, winning the 2018 Dog Tickets/Shows category with Regina George and Dog No Tickets/Shows Runner-Up with Aaron Samuels as a part of "Team Mean Girls" alongside myself, Siib, and Tana. She also won the 2017 Horse Tickets/Shows category with Soldotna, 2017 Horse No Tickes/Shows with Anchorage, 2016 Dog Tickets/Shows with Bristol (a HP recreation of her beloved RL dog), 2016 Dog No Tickets/Shows with Tyonek, 2015 Horse Tickets/Shows with Sitron (on a team with Glitch), 2015 Horse No Tickets/Shows Runner-up with Sitrus, and lastly was Runner Up in the inaugural mascot contest in 2014 for the Horse category, with Invincible (on a team with Freia).

Outside of her life on HP, Allison loved spending time with her family and friends, and doting on her two beloved dogs, Bristol and Liberty, and her cat Smudge.

She will be missed. ♥

as I stated on shae's thread

loosing an online friend hits different
your family doesnt understand your emotions

your friends that do are a million miles away

she will be greatly missed

I never knew her, but I give my condolenses for everyone that knew her. It's never good losing someone - even if it is online. There are many different types of bonds, most of which don't understand. 

“The only way to get over a death is by seeing it as a life completed, instead of a life interrupted” 

I miss her so much already :(

My heart hurts

I didn't realize she was apart of so many projects I've seen over the years. I didn't know Tronic/Allison personally, but I've heard fond things about her for as long as I can remember playing. I hope her family is doing as well as they can be given the circumstances. Wish I had a chance to know her like you all did. She sounds like such a wonderful friend to have. ♥ RIP Allison.

One of the first people to befriend me here on HP many years ago. Smart, funny and loving.. Tron. 

I just can't believe it. 

Paints since 6-8-14

Maha really summed it up. Losing a friend you know only virtually just hits different. It just doesn't seem real. I hadn't spoken to her in some years, but I won't forget how much light she brought to this game. Was always a joy seeing her in chat. Rest in the sweetest peace, Troni-fart ♥

Maha, definitely summed it up. When I heard the news last night, it was such an odd feeling. It still is. To lose someone that you've never met in person, but you considered a friend.. its hard. RIP sweet Moosetress! 

And as always, well worded/spoken Blitz! This is a beautiful post 

Oh no i will miss her so much! she had such a fun personality!

I never got the chance to know her but from everyone else's comments, she was a cherished and valued friend. I hope you all take however long you need in coming to terms with her passing. You and her family are in my thoughts today ❤

I am so very sorry for everybody's loss. Like other commenters, I never got the pleasure of knowing her. I looked at her page this morning when I saw the news and it broke my heart -- from her writing she seemed like such a fun, sweet and geniune person. Losing somebody is never easy, but I agree with others that it is especially not easy to lose somebody online. Her family and her friends, including those on HP who knew her, will be in my prayers. 

Her love of moose was legendary and her layouts with moose on them made me laugh.

I'm the same as many others with memories from her animals and mascots to her doggo Bristol (named after Bristol Bay) and Smudge. I loved the photo of her with smudge with their funny faces.

R.I.P., Tronic/Allison.

I don't come here an awful lot, but I saw the post on FB. Tronic was definitely an icon of this game, rest in peace!

Looking at Tron's page today she still has the layout I found in auctions and bought for her years ago! Back then I saw it and instantly said "Tron needs it!" Anything moose or Alaska themed you'd think of Tron!

Sharing from my FB post...
A friend is someone who can make you laugh, cry, help you believe in yourself and trust in others, and not afraid to set you straight or push you when you need a little ooofff. Patient and kind, hilarious and serious, and always there no matter what. Be it in person, via text/messages, a phone call, or even snail mail! I still have the Christmas cards you sent over the years from the HP Holiday Card Exchange! Friends you make on the internet still count as friends!

The online horse sim game community (Horse Phenomena) that I've been lucky to been and a part of since 2011 and continue to be a part of today lost someone who shown brightly within the community. As a player her dedication to her breeds were inspiring and her willingness to help others and kind attitude made her an easy person to talk to and get to know! As an administrator she carried all that over and then some! She was patient and fair and went into extra details explaining things. Such a super help for the rest of those on staff and in guiding me on learning the ropes of becoming a moderator to eventually stepping up into the role of administrator. You helped me learn a whole new level of skill sets and for that I am truly thankful! You are awesome Tron-fart, Tronic, the Moosetress!

Allison, you are loved by so many near and far!
My heart goes out to your friends and family!
You guys are loved as well!
I'll miss your snaps of Smudge & Bristol and will still think of you whenever I see something Moose related!
Rest In Peace sweet lady!

I really loved this picture Neke shared so I shared it as well...

I think the out pouring of support speaks volumes of our community here ♥ As many times as I've typed and retyped something, I can't seem to get the right words in the right order. This has just shaken me to my core. Allison we were so young, so beautiful, and so full of love! 

I loved talking to her about Game of Thrones and when we did our GoT Westphalians it was so much fun! Miss her already :(

@Pin: I didn't realize it either until I went to look for my post. Did a CTRL-F and "Tronic" it came up with way more results than I was expecting!

I have a wooden carved moose I bought at a one world bazaar because it reminded me of her, maybe 5 years ago. Total impulse buy, but I'm glad now that I did!

I hated to come back to HP for this. I remember doing some artwork for Tronic. She was always so nice to me & everyone

Like Auda said, Tron was one of the first friends I had on HP and drew me out of my secluded playing on HP. Because of her coaxing to apply, and her putting in a good word for me to the others, I eventually became staff. We still spoke occasionally, and always sent each other/tagged the other in anything Nicolas Cage or Lisa Frank-related. Eventually now, her family is going to find a sequined Nic Cage pillow in the house and go "wtf..." ( https://prnt.sc/jFntK2727gOz )
