Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article about Claude Guillemot's death into a full forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include every detail, fact, insight.
- Be EXCITING and passionate (though the topic is tragic, Frank's persona is "excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator" - I need to balance passion with the somber nature of the news, but still follow the "exciting/passionate" directive while being respectful. I'll frame it as deeply impactful, emotionally charged, and thoroughly detailed).
- Add commentary, opinions, reactions.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
2. **Deconstruct Source Article:**
- Who: Claude Guillemot, one of five brothers who co-founded Ubisoft in 1986. Also chairman/CEO of Guillemot Corp. (owns Hercules and Thrustmaster). Served on Ubisoft's board. Brother Yves is still director, chairman, CEO.

- When: June 19 (afternoon), reported/confirmed June 20, 2026. Age 69.
- Where: Near La Baule airport, western coast of France (field).

- Quotes/Statements: Ubisoft statement: "deeply saddened to learn of the death of Claude Guillemot, co-founder of the group and chairman of Guillemot Corp., in an accident. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. No further statements will be made at this time."

3. **Draft - Paragraph 1: The News & The Crash Details**
Focus on the immediate news, the crash specifics, and the emotional impact.
*Sentence count check:* Need 4-8 sentences.
*Draft:*
Hey Evil Source family, I am absolutely heartbroken to drop this news with you all, but we need to talk about the tragic loss of Claude Guillemot, one of the visionary co-founders of Ubisoft, who tragically passed away at just 69 years old following a devastating aircraft accident. The crash occurred on the afternoon of June 19th near the La Baule airport along France’s western coastline, where a Cessna 421 plane reportedly went down in a nearby field. Local firefighters arrived on the scene to find the aircraft already completely engulfed in flames, with the blaze rapidly spreading into the surrounding vegetation, making it a true emergency for the first responders. Tragically, Claude was one of two people aboard that fatal flight, and his sudden departure leaves a massive void in the gaming industry that we are still trying to process. I have to say, reading the initial reports from Ouest France and seeing the official confirmation from Ubisoft hit me right in the chest because these brothers literally built the foundation of modern gaming.
