RE: RS: Terror on Tarakan Almost Ready!
...indeed, and so here we have it. One must remember, as I admit...I to, so often, forget...that when we communicate amongst ourselves, here...that we are speaking to a multitude.
For me...a practicing scientist (not academic...but an application moron...sheesh...)...my hobby is history, WWII and American Civil War. "Going through the labor of map designing, OB research and scen deployment"...let alone, the preliminary research prior to...I love it. Personally, the rewards are immeasurable...
If no one likes the resultant scen, great. If it is a "fun and balanced" scen, good, but not better (in the rare event, my curiosity does become piqued, though). For real, some of the most exciting scens I have played were hopelessly one sided...and I was the loser. Ladder points are artifacts of this site alone...they do not, in any way, measure the enjoyability of CS as a simulation...or for that matter, any particular scen. Again, the Blitz community is a multitude...as I have, personally, discovered.
As part of the multitude...I don't look at CS as a "game" (solely)...but as an incredible tool. Consequently, I practice "sculdugery". I'm not looking to find popularity...or to coax the gullible. Egad, I hope, only, to possibly educate the ignorant (by the definition). To be sure, I know hardly anything of the scope of the English Civil War...as here, some "avid players" are not aware of the scope of WWII.
No offenses meant from here...and cheers to all
