Looking for an opponent for a PBEM game.

[Walrus]

I start to become a little apprehensive and it's because my English not the knowledge of the game. I realized that when I was using the term "default" I actually meant "stock" in the meaning that czerpak uses due to the reasons already described.

...and there Gentlemen, let the argument rest.

Burroughs, please don't let this discussion fool you into thinking that your use of English has caused a problem. You have been quite correct in your use of terms and in my opinion, quite clear in what sort of game you were looking for.

I read your initial post the same way as Czerpak did, that you were looking to play the pre-made scenarios that come with the game.
There is no definite term for this, 'stock' and 'default' work fine either way.

Czerpak...you did come across a little forcefully in your initial post, even though, in my opinion, you were basically on the money.
Perhaps you need to check the tone of your post next time eh.

Low Bidder. You are a new player here, and though your wording is very carefully phrased in your response to Czerpak, it is also quite condescending IMO. We show a bit of respect to our elders (in forum terms) here on the SP ladder, unlike some of the ladders here at the Blitz, so perhaps rather than jumping to your defence you should have taken the time to read Czerpak's post and take some relevant information from it.

It seems, according to the quote at the top of this post, that you misunderstood Burrough's request for a game and did indeed launch into a jargon laden and potentially confusing (to a new PBEM player) offer of a game he wasn't actually looking for. This was basically what Czerpak first posted...though I will agree, not exactly in the most friendly manner.

So Gentlemen. Let's put this down to a little initial confusion leading us in the wrong direction.
In the end, we are here to play Steel Panthers, whether this is our first, fifth or five hundredth game.
This forum is for polite, and at times - robust, discussion and to help us hook up player for PBEM games. That is all.

If anyone has a problem with what I have said here, please email me

Now...get those games up and running and Carry On....
