A Question....

[Steel God]

Thanks Paul. I am pretty adamant about getting in touch with Jim or Mark. If you like you could have them get in touch with me. My email is on the site. Or at worst you have it. I know Randy still does. Phone calls or personal meeting is not out the question either. I've gone farther for less than what we are talking about doing here.

:chin: Well, since I'm not really sure what we're talking about here, I don't think I want to volunteer to be your intermediary. I figure if you wanted me to know you'd have clued me in, but you haven't, so I'll not ask you to, but nor will I volunteer to be your go between. No offense intended, just the way I see things.

I will continue my efforts to get in touch with them until I talk with at least one of them or the stone cold silence gets too deafening. But I can stand alot of silence......lol.....I can just come and see if I can get Bootie to buy Forge of Freedom while I wait....he would love that game if he likes strategic mind benders. The resemblances to the war in Russia 1941-1945 are amazing.

You are free to contact them, of course.

I appreciate the warning. I didn't mention it to him. It's not about that. If he wants to know about it we can discuss it but this isn't about Blitz procedures...etc....

Understood. He may not make the connection at all, don't know.

This thread has turned into several things. From asking a simple question to fielding questions by staff members and even TALKING ABOUT WARGAMES! Woo Hoo!!

I have tried to keep this focused and deleted a few off topic posts, although the minor banter about games I have left, yes. What's the harm, right? ;)

You're the only one that really pretty much knows what this is about. I don't have any desire to make the purpose of my contact with Jim public. All I will say is that it's not about vendettas, Blitz procedures, etc... It's about fowarding the wargame community. And from you told POS earlier, about the reason for their wanting a different kind of club, I feel more inclined to discuss my communications with him than ever before.

As I alluded to in the first statement above, I'm not really at all clear about what you want to talk about with him, and have proceeded under the assumption that it's none of my business. I will keep it that way unless you (or he) shares it with me.

Since this thread is wandering so much, I asked you before what you play, but we got hit with tangents, and you never answered that. So, again, what do you play here on the site? Have you tried Forge of Freedom by Matrix? Do you have an interest in the American Civil War?

At present I only play CMx1, Forge of Freedom and Panzer Commader: Operation Winter Storm and Kharkov.

It's been almost 2 years, maybe a shade less, since I've had the time to actually play a game of anything , here or anywhere. The price of being an administrator and having to spend all my time fielding questions and fixing stuff. When I did play I was in up to my eyeballs on the SP and OpC Ladders. SP was my original game, and my first Forum Moderation responsibility. OpC was my second passion, and also my second Moderation responsibility. I managed both until Jim asked me to do my current duties for him around early 2006, maybe it was late 2005, and I handed them over to Chris and Brian respectively. If I had to choose between the two today I'd go back to OpC as I'm more of an operational thinker than a tactical thinker, and I worked on more than half the series and feel some sense of ownership. FoF appeals to me because I loved VG's Civil War (still do), but my old PC wouldn't run it, I haven't the time to learn or play it.
