I believe that I'm the first member to achieve the glorious honor of accumulating more than 1,000 points as both a Reb and as a Yank. If that ain't so, then step yourself up to the bar and tell us what you've done. I'm full of tales of victory and defeat, expected and unexpected. Bartender, set 'em up and I'll buy everyone in the club a round tonight. Now, Bartender, don't get your panties in a wad over some two year old bar bill. I'm good for it and I have a dozen folks here that will guarantee the bill - where did everybody go?

Lt General Simms,
Ned,

Why Sir... I'll have a drink on your tab! Thank you! <salute>

Now as for your accomplishment of earning 1000 points on each side of the Club. Congratulations! But really... the way I figure it <b><font color="red">1000 Reb Points</font id="red"></b> - <b><font color="blue">1000 Yank Points</font id="blue"></b> still equals a big fat <b>ZERO!!!!</b> [:p]

Aw, I'm just jealous cause I didn't do it myself! (????) [:D]

Anyway, now that you've accomplished that feat... what's next? Are you going to try for 2,000 & 2,000? If so... I've got a spot for you right here in my Corps where you can start earning your next 1000 <b><font color="red">Reb Points!</font id="red"></b>

Shall I send General Tisdale a note requesting your transfer?

Thanks again for the drink! And congratulations, Sir! That "IS" quite an accomplishment!

I'd be impressed, Ned, had you not earned all those points fighting against yourself. [:p]

But since as everyone knows 1 Reb point can beat 10 yank points, I'd say you have about 9,000 Northern Aggression points to go before you can call it even... [:p]

Well done, suh! <SALUTE!>

Ned,

I've done some investigating... and somehow your figures have come up short on the Confederate side of the Club! [:(]

Honestly, anyone that has been around the Club for a long time knows that it used to be a whole lot easier to earn OBD Points. I went to Pierre to ask him if he still had the old record keeping devices that we used to use before the Club's Automated Record keeping system. (You know... those pieces of slate we used to write on with chalk?) [:p]

As it turns out... Pierre still had them. And after a couple hours of blowing the dust off of them, here's some of the entries that we found on your behalf.

100 Admin Points Awarded - Fed and watered General Jim Thomas's horse
70 Admin Points Awarded - Changed diapers and spoon fed lost Yanks
47 Admin Points Awarded - Polished Gen Gary Cope's awards for parade
23 Admin Points Awarded - Walked Den McBride home from the Tavern
17 Admin Points Awarded - Investigated stories about the "Phantom"
9 Admin Points Awarded - Painted Gen Sam Orlando's ambulance

These are just a sample of the admin awards Pierre and I discovered attributed to you in the early days of the Club. But here is the BIGGIE...

475 Admin Points Awarded - Compensation for not participating in Club Tourney's so that the Confederate Forces had a chance to win!!! [;)]

Anyway Ned, We love you! And now it all becomes <b>VERY CLEAR</b> why we sent you over to the Union side of the Club in the first place! [:D]

Three Cheers for Ned Simms! The best Yank that ever lived! [^]

General Hulinsky

As usual, Roger's historical recollections are flawless. And all these years I'd wondered who the hell it was that pulled me out of that backroom. It was a blurry night, to be sure. All I remember was being assailed by this horde of crazed midgets in hoop skirts. I'm still sure they were Union agents. Ned, I owe you my life. Congrats on a great and unique accomplishment!

I should get half credit as I swear I gave Ned most of those points he earned as a Rebel. Congrats Ned!

Dang! We are "ALL" having a good time here, are we not? [:D]

And <b>NOW</b> I remember why Bill can't get promoted past Colonel! He refuses to take orders and he's darn near as mouthy as <b>ME</b>! [;)]

Brings back a lot of memories, that's for sure!
