Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Bad!When someone tells you that they are tired of your post I say why read it that just rude. When someone tells tell you that they will not advance you because they feel you do not represent what they feel is a member of their elite group and gives you ten reason that no matter what you do you will never reach what they want that's a glass ceiling. When they say they will not let you set on their broad because every Tom Dick and Harry would want the same you know where am going. The rules say one thing and they say another that's misinformation. As far as leadership goes what does a General do he can't order anyone in his Brig or Div or Corp to do anything it's just a title next to your name. And when they e-mail and tell you they are tired of you that goes way beyond being polite.

Any good Cliff?

Sire,bon the people I play, ten games a day, the people who tell me that it BS what they are doing to you. The Polish Legion that am with the young garcons who are trying to move in this club. The movies and and the post by the new Polish garcons there are tons of bon things in this club the most important thing is freedom of speech. An if you don't like me or care for me that is you business and I will not change for you or anyone. I came to you and you allowed me in your Div but when I made my public remarks the honeymoon was over.

Anton I should clarify - 'enjoyment' as opppossed to 'fun' is what i meant. For some that can be intellectual pursuits and others it is levity or indeed both. I for one enjoy the jokes but I also enjoy the intelligent debate about the period. I try to post regularly around both.

I know you also do the same - When will you and Jeka return my wine by the way ?

Cliff to me you are a valued member of this club and if I commanded the French army I would be happy for you to be promoted to a higher rank.

The only comment I would make is that free speech is I agree important but so also is the consideration and respect for others. I believe for example a post you made a while back about the SS was innappropriate. That is taking free speech to far. We have an international club and it is good to avoid remarks that will cause obvious offense. On the other hand I don't include the popping jay remark you made about me which I thought was funny once I knew what it was.

Just my thoughts sir.

SS remark was taken out of contexts SS was short for "sausage suffers" like I say bone head an not dead head. The differences here is cultures and how differ people talk. I tell my friends and sister-in- law who are from the Iles don't yell at me when they talk and slow down. They laugh at me because I talk with a Yankee manner it's a culture thing. And we need to understand different cultures express them selves different ways. Every one in my family has nick names but the older ones see different strokes for different folks.

Oh, by the way no no asked me what I meant by that remark they all just jumped on me from the top to the bottom. Not giving me not one chance to explain my remark.

I have no problem with you making public remarks Cliff, you are free to say whatever you want. I think now the all club knows what your problem is. But in my opinion, it's kind of annoying and counter productive to see it in almost every other post you put on this forum.

At the same time I don't like being misrepresented.

As you may know I don't make the rules, I don't even choose how we apply them. So when I learned that you couldn't be promoted to General, I asked my corps commander, who then asked our Army commander, etc (I was following the hierarchy) ... And once I learned what was possible and not possible I told you. I even asked if there was another way to become general beside being in a commanding position and I was told by Maréchal Chuck Jensen that with an appointment in the Garde Imperiale you could become general (as long as you have the points).

If you remember, I even told you (in the Pierre's Tavern) that if you weren't happy with me as you division commander you could easily change division or Corps. Your answer was that you didn't have any problem with me or my division. But from what I see you seems to keep a grudge against anybody in a command position.

------------------
Now to go back to the subject, I have to say that if I didn't find any good in this club I don't think I would have stayed as long as I have been, I started in November 1999. I came to play and I stayed for the company.

The bad is when we loose members like Matt who was just assigned to my division when he decided to leave abruptly. It's never fun to see someone leave and not knowing why.

I started the same time you just don't quite when you hit a brick wall you stay and change things. I still like being in your Div and I have a lot of fun with the garcon. An oui I am one who hates ruling class and titles and any thing that is not level ground for all. An like I said why read it if you don't agree with it. There is so much more to read.

Cliff, thank you for the kind remarks about my brigade. though i did take a recent thumping from Marechal Bruce Hall. We do a monthly brigade newsletter in the Prussian army to keep in touch, no real muster. By the way i'm down in your swamp this week enjoying gumbo and jambalaya. i'm sure your infamous SS remark was done unknowing but my advice would be to spell out sausage stuffers next time and not use the abbreviation which has alot of negative conotations. Also as a proud tie dye wearing DeadHead please no more negative DeadHead comments

the smiley faces are for you Koseyanko..just kidding

Monsieur what Bill and your garcons did for the Club no one else could do ! That is why we in the Trench Armée now are recruiting willing players to join in togetherness and have some Esprit de core ! Bravo mon ami for your willingness to join with one another and to make the Noir Menace a powerful force. It's been a long time since any one in that Brig has said any thing about your actives. Remember it's easy to brake one twig but a bundle takes great strength.

Yes Bill set the bar high for us and i think i can speak for Michael and myself in saying that we are much better players having Bill as our mentor and we miss him in our army. I think Scott Ludwig also deserves credit for making the Prussian army and easy one to serve in as he does all the armies he commands. You just need to have commanders who take an interest in the players under their command. We never muster per se, just send out an email once a month discussing our games we have going on. I will talk with Michael and see what his schedule is like and perhaps in the future we can challenge you and your Polish garcons to a mp game. We'll call it the Bratwurst vs andouille and keilbasa challenge!
