Damn… misclicked and sent too early…

Anyways… I know that words typed are often misinterpreted by the reader since so much human context is missing. I know there is some tension here about some remarks and it is not something new in this group…

In our daily lives I guess we all have to deal with people e.g. coworkers we do not much care for and learned to deal with them.

All of us here kn this forum love this small niche of a game and are happy we found some nerds to play with.

What I am trying to bring across is, can we not all take a step back, talk it out if necessary and come up with some simple rules to help us work with each other?

It is easy to just end some relationship and be done with it, but is a bridge not easily rebuilt.

I do not want to see such a small community get splintered by something that can be addressed by civil means without going nuclear…

I don’t know, I was told it used to be that guys fought it out and then laughed about it over a beer later, not sure what the online equivalent would be, but I would prefer that, before parting ways for good.

Just my humble opinion…

@private-panic Adam, I apologize for being critical and saying too much. I will do better going forward. Please stay with the group.
Thanks Elwood for your post.

[Elrood]

@fmerwinrommel Apparently my company firewall does not allow calling MARTI, My move will have to wait :-|

[Private-Panic]

It seems that I should rejoin to finish this game at least. Sorry, all, for my rude departure. Thx to FM for his apology.

@elrood 3 times you have bombed Cairo (with all its history and beauty) for maximum damage . I hate you , Seb, you Philistine!

[Elrood]

@witt I am laying the groundwork for the legendary German city planner: Bomber Harris :-D

[Witt]

@elrood amd it has only taken you 10 Turks to complete a DD. Good naval planning.

[FMErwinRommel]

@witt and yet you didn’t buy an AA gun. Whose fault is that? It’s too bad max damage is limited to twice your production capacity.

[Witt]

@elrood wouldn’t have stopped you bombing.

[FMErwinRommel]

@witt When I built Zeps as Austria in game 3(?) I was timid about risking a 16 PU zep to continue SBR against AA. Worked once, but the second time I tried, I was shot down over Rome.

[FMErwinRommel]

@Witt I think you should punish Turkey by continuing to attack the Arabian Peninsula. Like a Dardanelles campaign. Let First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill plan the operation.

[Witt]

Have rolled Tech; no result, but have to go to work . My parents turned up !

[Elrood]

@witt glad you finally found them again.

[Witt]

@Elrood there is a time amd place for parents . And half way thought a Turk killing turn is not it!
