Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

You want trivia, we got trivia -
10 Point Question - Who was the head of the American Secret Service in Boston in 1775?
5 Point Bonus - What article did he write and with whom?

Really.

Easy now boys. He's just a young'un.

Anyone know the answer(s)? I thought the secret service didn't exist until the civil war?

It's not a single incident, it's really a change in habits. In all clubs, a majority of the new members has begun to register for the boards with a fantasy name and not sign their posts even if you tell them thrice. Wonder what's going on ... is this a new generation of wargamers? [B)]

I agree that posts should be signed, but flaming someone's first post is not going to lead to more frequent posting on the board, signed or not.

By the way, anyoone know the answer to his question(s)?[:D]

Isn't it called the <b><font color="red">SECRET </b></font id="red"> Service??[:)]

It's all conjecture now, looks like you have scared the young chap away Al ![8D]

While I agree people need to sign their posts, this was a bit much...I'd be surprised if we see Vetto again...signed or unsigned. [:(]

True ... but why <b>do</b> people do that? I don't get it. [xx(]

Blah. Hadn't thought about it, but "vetto" should have rung a bell. If it's who I think, he's not exactly new, holding the rank of Ensign! I *think* it's Ens. A.J. Vedders, whose email addy has vetto as part of it.

I tried to have a look at the rebel army roster, but as most days it would not load ... I say, could that not unimportant piece of information maybe be moved to some decent webspace? Just wondering. [|)]

bottom of the page... mouseover the flag for his email addy and you'll see what I mean

Sure, I was not questioning your info. It just occurred to me again.

This may be a good excuse to work up a small introductory letter for new members which includes some basic do's and don'ts that our excellent training department isn't really responsible for. Like how to set up a signature here, commonly acceptable challenge protocol, other small things that new members might feel lost or confused about. Nearly all of us probably take a lot of that little stuff for granted as established members. It's not fair to expect raw recruits to know how this club works without a bit of personal guidance, so I'll put together something that I and the Colonial CiC can perhaps send along with unit assignments which doesn't repeat CCC rules and everything else that recruits must endure from those mean old trainers. [;)] I'll clear it through the Cabinet first. If anyone has suggestions please email me.
