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. ♥

For resources on grief, please see Saturnia's previous MHM on Loss.

So, did a thing; in remembrance of Allison (Tronic), I have personally Purchased a pixel from Bronze-Halo on deviantart, and have decided to share this animated avatar with all of you to put on your pages!

I figured since she loved andalusians, it was only right to do one in light of her. So feel free to copy the code and add them as a signature or on your page or where-ever you'd like!

RIP Allison.

@pants omg, I forgot about the Nicholas Cage pillow! 

I didn't know her, but to all who did, may her memory be a blessing. 

RIP

@Daki that's so sweet!!! I love that picture I think that's a great way to honor her and her love of Andulusians! 

RIP

It is touching how close of a community HP is I am thankful to be a part of it

hugs and prayers to all of her friends and family 

Dakiti - that is so incredibly sweet! Thank you for sharing this! 

Awww that is perfect Daki! Ironically I started up 2 pairs of Andalusians out of the blue last week for no reason that I knew of, perhaps by some sort of unknown fate I just felt drawn to the random breed. I'll be continuing them in her honor. Tronic touched so many lives, rest easy Allison, 🖤

so sad to hear this. Tron helped me out when I first started HP and she got me to join the moderating team for a year , plus helped her out on mascot contests and even bought lines from them. I seen the post on FB first, but this just breaks my heart even more. If anyone wants to talk or whatnot, just send me a message on here or FB.

Heartbroken. So sorry for everyones loss. She always was a player that l loved talked too.She will sorely be missed :(

What terrible news, taken way too soon :(

That's beautiful, Daki!

Unexpected and heartbreaking. Today has felt so strange. Lots of love to all of you.

This was not the way I imagined returning to HP after 8 years. 

The news this morning was devastating. Allison and I have been friends since we were teenagers (almost 20 years). We were partners on HL back in the day, and she was the one who encouraged (required more like lol) that I join HP. We had several accounts together here as well, including Belgians and Fjords. This morning when I logged in for the first time in years, I found that she continued to train and breed my horses for me, long past when I told her stop. It's hard to hold back the tears when you see something like that. She was that kind of person, she would do anything for her friends.  

I had the great fortune of meeting Tronic/Allison in real life. My husband and I were moving across the country and stopped in for the night at her place. We chatted horses and life, over many drinks. She was just as easy to get along with in real life as anyone who has chatted with her would imagine. My ferret chased her cat Smudge around the house till she finally hid on top of the fridge. We laughed so hard that night, I even remember laying on her living room floor at one point, rolling around laughing at something we'd said. We have been there for each other during some dark times in our lives. She was one of the few friends in my life that I knew I could talk to about anything. Sometimes we wouldn't talk for months or years, but whenever we did, it was like we were those two nutty teenagers playing online horse games again. Like no time had passed. I will miss her so dearly. Today my heart just hurts. 

In honor of her I will be re-starting some of the breeds we used to train together. I know she'd get a kick out of me, coming back to HP and dusting off photoshop. 

Rest well my sweet friend. 

I loved talking to her on here for as long as I can remember. I lived her personality and wish I had met her in person. She will be greatly missed. I cried a ton over this today. You never really know how someone touches you till they are gone. Virtual friends are just as important as physical ones and will definitely hold both even closer.

I personally never got to know Tronic, but I really wish that I had been able to! Rest in peace Moostress, you'll be very deeply missed and we love you!  ♥

All these comments warm the sorrow in my heart. Just knowing she is no longer here makes me miss her that much harder. She was so loved by many. She will be missed by many.
All the tributes are amazing. Thank you guys for being the best community someone can find ❤️

My first post on this thread was that my heart was hurting, which it does, but I think I was still in shock. I still am, but seeing all of the posts and tributes to Allison are so heartwarming and there is no doubt that she had such a wonderful influence on everyone she met - whether that be in person, or indeed online. Last night I read through my previous messages with Tronifart, and it brought back so many fond memories, for example, there was a time where I was hooked on the game 'Fun Run' and I'd always be messaging Allison to play with me because she was so hilariously competetive. She was a perfect combination of sweet soul, fire and empathy. She helped me get through a really rough ride at the end of 2017 and for that I will always be eternally grateful. 

Here's to you, Alli-Flo. You are so, so dearly missed by many. ♥

i am so sorry for everyones loss..

i didn't know tron but i seen her around here and there when i played a while ago.

may she rip.. i am so so sorry. :c

I am very sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends, including all of you, her amazing HP family. =(

There is not way to explain the loss of a friend you never got to hug.  :(

Tron spent many hours talking with me throughout the years - from leaving my abusive ex, to the loss of Stubb and Fancy, to my injury, she was always there for me.  In chat, and on other messaging programs, she was always theres with something to cheer me up, or something funny to say.  While we were never close, and I never got to meet her in person, she was always a friend I could reach out to - whether for a shoulder, or for a happy event.

I'm going to miss her.  ♥

Allison (Tron), you were such a beautiful soul and will be truly missed. You helped so many people when they needed it the most and I wish to hell that everyone who prayed for you could have helped you when you needed it the most. 

This is not a goodbye but a until next time. Rest easy dear friend. 💐❤️

This has been weighing heavily on me, so I've been dealing with it in my own way. RIP Allison. You're absolutely missed by so many people. Her, Siib, Peike, and Phism were the ones who really drew me out of being an introverted member who only talked through PMs. She was always so kind and caring.
