@gamerman01 and now we should be tied!

Podium finish for me, there you go. I guess the freight train in 2017 helped that one massively.

@karl7 Boldfresh is my nephew. He lives in Chicago. His wife wigged out when COVID hit last March, along with all that volatile BLM violence and political turmoil. She needs control over her circumstances and COVID and the political turmoil blew her lid off. She is adamantly against using mental health medication of any kind and she was out of control. She pretty much had to leave the USA for her sanity.
She left him and went back to Finland where she’s from. She took the 3 very beautiful small children with her. Boldfresh realized from wise counselors that if the kids were out of the USA for more than 3 months they could be impossible to get back. Recently, he told me that all the “sheep” (meaning the 3 kids) are coming home!! (To Chicago, where his parents also live)
He had also started a new business venture in Chicago that was intense but I don’t know how it is really going, and he had to deal with COVID too. So he has been really struggling, and I guess has not had time or the heart craving for A&A that he normally does.
So please, anyone reading this, PRAY (or think happy thoughts his direction if you don’t like the concept of prayer) for Boldfresh, and one day I believe he will return, better than ever and not as ornery.
The timing of your cry for Boldfresh is uncanny, Karl. Maybe his story could be an inspiration for a book that you write, and I think that some day you two should meet face to face, possibly to do this book. Bold predictions, I know, but all things are possible to those who believe. I can see these things happening.
I contacted Bold this week, requesting that he receive me to Chicago (about 5 1/2 hour drive one way for me) and he was open to that. He couldn’t do this week, but I think the reunion between he and I will be happening soon and I am very, very excited because we grew up together. He is only 5 months younger than I.
Thank you, everyone, we have a GREAT and very positive community on these forums!!!

I just noticed! His picture has been updated and you can see his grin, with his 3 kids securely back to him!! Click on it and zoom in. Must be tied to his facebook account or something, I’m guessing. Look at that picture of him and his 3 gorgeous kids and think happy thoughts his way - PLEEEEEASE!!!
-
And please pray for his wife who has divorced him, that she would get her mind back and realize that they should be re-united, and she can be the mother of the children again. Thank you all, and God bless you.
-
@gamerman01 please send him my regards. I am very sorry to hear that sad news.
@Karl7 good pick up, re Boldfresh. I Miss him. We played a few competitive games.
I lost them all -
@witt Thanks, Witt!!!

Praying 👐🏾

All the best from Sweden.

Wow, sad to hear about the troubles. Sounds like Bold is on his way back. That is good news indeed. I went to college in Chicago and spend many years there. I used to have a lot of connections there, but time has faded many of them. But a trip back once things finally return to normal could be in order.
When Bold is ready to pick up the sword, let him know I am ready! LOL.

wow gamer thanks for sharing, everyone can seem so anonymous on here, yet we all have our story of life going on and so it’s nice for us to be able to connect to that every now and then. we definitely miss our old-timers, and bold for sure is one of them! we’ll be keeping him in our prayers and hearts.

boy Karl ain’t kidding there, he’s been kicking my butt lately!

@gamerman01 All the best from Victoria, Canada. It’s been a trying time for many, I hope things work out for Bold and his family.
I’d like to also thank everybody on this forum for all of the games in the past year - my wife and I have been staying at home since March 2020. We both work at home, our college age daughter is taking remote courses and I’ve had a much easier time of it because of all the A&A games I’ve been able to enjoy.

League stats show 121 BM games finished in the 2021 year so far, vs 40 PtV games. I think the major factor restricting the popularity of PtV is the division of SZ38.
-
@simon33 I don’t think so. It seems like even the skeptics recognize it as improvement after playing it a couple of times. And I seriously doubt a one-sea zone division would deter someone who is otherwise willing to try a substantially redrawn map.
BM caught on quickly because the game looks and feels identical, in most respects, to G40. This was by design. When we made BM, one of the limitations we placed on the project was that it must have a completely familiar feel for G40 players— to encourage wide acceptance by the community.
PTV, on the other hand, is a bolder departure from G40. As soon as you open it, you know it is a completely different game. That means there is a somewhat higher bar to entry.
That being said, the enthusiasm with which the G40 community has embraced PTV has surpassed my wildest expectations. And the fact that over 10% of league games are now PTV games is highly encouraging.
-
@regularkid Yeah well 2016 showed 387 G40 games vs 261 BM games in the league, even though BM only came out in May.
2017 showed 110 G40 games vs 294 BM games in the league.PtV came out in June 2020, to some excitement which seems to have dissipated. But if you just want it the way you say, I guess that will be it.
-
Just checked again. Its actually 25% of league games. Not too shabby!
