RE: Interest in CS???????
I think we are only tinkering, but that at least is better than dying slowly. And there are signs of a natural leader emerging.
But take a look at the first couple of pages of the ladder....how many of us are engaged, apart from playing and some designing? . Not a lot. Great players and brilliant designers are silent. Why is this so?
I suspect it goes back ..18 months maybe ...to a particularly acrimonious debate about game scale. And a lot of stuff about "cheating". A few years back we were a more successful club. We had a lot of members, produced a major game addition on CD and had a reaaly smart cheat, who created a set of false members,emails and all, "played" them and leapt to the head of the ladder on his "victories". But clever enough to only "win" about 75%. What an accomplishment!!! I fudge a bit on my tax return, and once, at Subic Bay, I lost a few $$s playing with loaded dice against a USN O-4 who had a better make of dodgy dice. Shit happens, as we say. Oh dear, I swore.
Cheat at CS????????????? But we all might, and must be therefore be considered guilty without trial. The new JTCS games contain a "Save Counter", which is supposed to stop "cheating". What it does is ASSUME ALL BLITZERS ARE POTENTIAL CHEATS. Oh, and BTW,folks, join the Blitzkreig Gaming Club for fun and comradeship.
Get rid of it. And get rid of the poisonous PC "New Forum Rules" which have, IMO a lot more to do with control freakism than with the Blitz.
