Btw let me break down the titiles for all so they understand....
The (Old Windy) (Windbagfrankfurter) (The Mad Prussian) (Herr Windbagenführer) - are all inside jokes from years ago with guys like Gary McClellan, Phil Roubaud and others when I used to have fun and tease the Austrians back and forth. French members would joke with me about it too. Kind of like how Colin is nicknamed "the Peacock".
The Generalfeldmarschall Scott Kronprinz "Vorwärts" Ludwig von Preußen - is simply my rank and nobility title, not all armies, like the AAA, do nobility titles as a form of recognition for their members. In fact the AAA is the only ones who do not in a sense, but they do have the Order of the Garter and Thistle, which are not awarded that often.
The Commander of the Combined Austro-Prussian-Swedish Army - is a nominal title in that when the Austrian Armee had its commander step down and the webmaster went missing, there was no one there to fill the void, at the same time I was asking for the addition of other armies to the Club and got the Swedes approved to being added. So they didn't have a commander either, but I had a website for them. So in agreement with Mark Jones, Marco and others we created a Combined Army, that basically just means that the admin work and websites are all managed and housed under one group of people so that the operations can continue to flow for all involved. The Austrians have no clear candidate for Army Command for them and the Swedes only have one member, so I act to administer those armies until otherwise. Just nominal, not anything major.
Generalquartiermeister der Preußischen Armee - is the position I hold in the Prussian Armee since 2007. I have been providing my website services to the Armee since 2004 and have been second in command since 2007. There is an announcement pending shortly about our new Interim Army Commander, which by the way, is not me....I don't need to be everywhere, doing everything.....
I worked hard for a long time to develop the website of the Prussian Armee, pouring countless hours into it and providing services such as an expanded medals system, which we didn't have one when I took over the work, the nobility titles, which we did have one when I took over, the formation of our Garde-Grenadier Korps, which we didn't have one when I took over, a historical resources page on our site for researchers and Prussian enthusiasts, issuing custom emails for every honor, promotion and medals for the officers in the Armee, long before any other army did, and managing day to day affairs of the Armee. Reforming the Armee twice now and reorganizing it twice now, all while recruiting for it, doing my work on the Cabinet, recruiting for the Club at large on many venues, keeping up with discussions on games and organizations across the wider Napoleonic community, looking for ways to improve the Club and the services we offer, engaging the larger wargaming community....all while holding positions of responsibility in four other Clubs and my real life duties.
Königliche Preußische Armee - this is simply the name of the Prussian Armee....it is not a title....
Kommandeur Garde-Grenadier Kavallerie-Brigade - this is my Guards Command, again not a self glorified title....
Vorwärts Meine Kinder, Vorwärts!! - this is my favorite quote of Blucher, it means Forward My Children, Forward, I use it to rally the Armee and also for fun against the French, again not a self imposed title....
Club Public Relations Officer (2006 - 2012) - this is the Club officer I served in for six years, working to serve the members of this Club and working to better the Club as best as I thought possible and in conjunction with those who volunteer their time and services at the cost of their games and often their sanity....
I actively kept up with the wider gaming world, advertised for us across many, many networks, engaged with other organizations and forums to give us a public face. Offered feedback to the rest of the Cabinet on these activities. Worked with others to promoted new ideas and platforms, solved critical issues and offeedr up advice and help when needed. Btw I don't hold the office anymore, but still spend time advertising and engaging the larger Napoleonic and wargaming community our our behalf.
All this while going through some very hard personal times in my own life outside of the Club. The Club is an outlet of sorts for me, a place where I can be creative, find ways to make it better, encourage others to step up and serve it too. After all I encouraged Mark to take the President's job....I think he still wants to "pay me back" for it as we joke around...
I don't mind doing the work on behalf of others, it is a fun activity, or should be at least. I especially love working for my armies, seeing my officers get promoted, get medals and what not and finding ways to make my websites even better or have more to them. I am not good at these games, I am terrible at them, so doing the admin works helps me justify being here. I have worked for quite a number of people and have enjoyed trying to come up with great ideas with them, even if we do bash heads.
So I will not apologize if I wish to display some titles and what not, I have put in the many years of service and dedication to this Club and quite a few others, while many people have just been "flashes in the pan" as they are called. April will be my 10th Anniversary in this Club and I don't regret it at all, most days
, the people I've met or the work I have done with others.
Few people ever step up to do more than play games and moan and whine about this or that....so nt I won't apologize for stepping up to serve the Club for all these years.
My post about the Revised Concept was not a personal attack against anyone on the Cabinet currently....it was a suggestion of some out of the box thinking I was doing with others on some of what I thought were the best concepts of many Clubs put together. I am sorry I even brought it up, but I see very few others offering up advice in the open for how to improve services or members experiences here......
That's all I've got to say about that....
