Really?? Who challenged this....I asked for it to be locked because it just wasn't worth it and I was having an exceptionally terrible week so far and was tired of being baited in the forum.
Two points: My original mention of the Mandatory Muster, stated in "but there was discussion mentioned before the end of the Mandatory Muster that has me concerned otherwise...." was not a derogatory mention of it. It was merely a reference point in a conversation and was not meant to spark debate, but it did. Naturally the reference point has been mentioned by me in a further post, something I didn't want to originally expose. I was simply ok with leaving things at that post.
Other Point: I really wish before people put words in my or anyone's mouth or meaning to something said, ask what they mean......my comment on dismantling was certain things that are going to be changed that is going on via private conversation right now, for things I worked hard to get internally in the Prussian Armee years past and things that have been done for a long time are no longer going to be done or reversed.....it wasn't saying that the NWC at large is having a dismantling, though this year surely has altered a lot, it is still generally the same, though power & decision making has shifted greatly....but like I said power here is fake and pretend....its a make believe world.
A Third Point: As of last Fall, every member of the Combined-Austro-Prussian Swedish Army was mustered and considered active by the rules at the time. How do I know, they responded to my muster call directly via email. Gaming wasn't required, as real life gets in the way for a lot of folks and we don't want to loose touch with them if they express interest. Because we had a lot of casual gamers, who came here for games every now and then. Because I had friends form years ago that had busy lives but still wanted to be a part of things in case they get time. Because we were allowed to be a laid back force, but not anymore.....why did I do this. Because for almost 10 years I have done this. Because when I first started doing it, I took people off the list. Then the came back. I would hold out for so long, take them off and two months later they'd be back. It happened so much, that is wasn't worth doing the changing of website data all the time. I simply kept them on board and it was easier for everyone. We were a small enough army that I felt a close bond with them all. Got to know them, talk to them felt like we were a family. So I honored that.....but other people thought it was wrong....."If they aren't following all the rules to the letter of the law, they're gone!" Those people never managed large forces in 4 different Clubs for almost 10 years....but I respect their thoughts....
I actually proposed throwing all the Coalition forces into one uber army, like the French have, one commander, one website, one support staff, one medal system, a Corps for each power et al....a simple system for reduced numbers in the Club and a more consistent staff system. It was rejected. Which is fine, it was merely a suggestion.
I and I think quite a few others are growing really tired of the politics and when some of us say something off the script, we get a backlash.....this is probably why some folks who used to talk a lot on the forums do not.....
So can we just lock the topic & move on.....
