*MYSTERIOUS A&A.ORG DISAPPEARANCE* - WHEATBEER

That is mad, Garg.  I love it!

Since the rule has been made noone has flipped the table… Yet.

It was flipped once after turn 3 of are second game of global.

I was Italy and taking over a poorly played Japan from a friend who had to go. The Allies were going really hard on the Pacific and after my turn 3 which was extremely good especially with dice rolls. They took there turns and flipped the table as they saw the writing on the wall. That is why the rule was in place.

@Emperor:

The bottom line is she cheated on you.  After that there can be no “trust”, without “trust” no relationship can survive.

Well, technically we weren’t together, so she technically didn’t.  Doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.  I think it was wrong, and deep down she probably feels it as well, but I’m not sure.

And, I’ve hurt her in the past…I wouldn’t call it cheating, but I’m sure she felt that way.

Trust can always be rebuilt.  But it takes two parties dedicated to the task.

I’m sorry but I don’t think that trust can ever be rebuilt.  There will always be that doubt, and those doubts will lead to arguments.  You say she didn’t “technically” cheat, but you have a child together, that creates a husband-wife-family bond, she chose to ignore her obligations to that “family unit” for her own selfish physical gratification, is that the kind of mother you want raising your child?

I know my words are harsh, but really you need to think about what’s best for your son.

In many ways you are right.  But I “did it first.”  Being an idiot and not thinking about consequences, not realizing that I didn’t really want to mess around with someone else, and drinking way way too much.  Took me a bit to get my perspective.
Doesn’t mean it is an excuse for her to do the same.  But she did.  It can always be healed.  If the love is there.

She and I had a great talk last night.  She’s still on the defensive some, but as long as you don’t accuse and actually talk about what matters, then you can make progress.  She knows I’m hurt, I don’t need to repeat it.  And if I love her, then there is always room in my heart to let her in.  The door is shutting, but it will never close.  It will just take more work after some time to get it back open.

The thing is, she’s not so much rebelling against me, but against her life.  She admits that the other guy was a mistake and it shouldn’t have happened.  She wishes I was in the place I am now 2 years ago.  It would have been perfect.  But you can’t force anyone that way.

So now she’s dealing with her new “freedom” and burdens of responsibility.  She’s getting quite a bit out, but her roommate tells me there isn’t anything I should be afraid of.  Deep down, she loves me, and he’s pretty sure, as most people who know us, that she’ll come around sooner or later.  And she acknowledged that herself.  It may take both of dating a few times to realize that, though.

But, I’m not holding my breath.  Just slowly releasing my grip from the things I want since they aren’t immediately obtainable.

@El:

… and the wayward son returns to wrest his heritage back from Xi, the evil usurping brother. (Xi jumped ahead in posts, but seems to be on an extended hiatus.)

(Maybe, with a little encouragement, I can instigate a power struggle. That would be coup!

I think we’ve got a forum or two to help pull datafrom… if we can find them! :roll: One was almost an A&A Academy Awards(my capital a fingers hurt now.)

My vote for WPE is Wild2000. Lotsa posts then he gets mad(or whatever) and goes through putting smilies(?) for every post after deleting the words. That is a sorehead/obsessive/wacko, I think.

I think I may have been gone for a longer period oftime than Wild2000, but then again, I guess only the administrator would know. By the way, what ever happened to djensen? Does he ever post?

@NatFedMike:

lots of Americans are over weight fat asses who follow what Bush says blindly and think the War in Iraq is some Holy Crusade that can do no wrong.

Hey, I may be an ass, but I’m not overweight. :) As far as Bush, and the Presidency in general, as well as other elected representatives, even though I may or may not agree with them, I try to believe that they know what they’re doing…after all, they’re more educated and experienced than I, however questionably said education may have been obtained. The war, as far as I’m concerned, it’s just finishing up what wasn’t done 12 years ago.

I hope I am not the only one here going to the WBC this year. The week long gaming convention features literally hundreds of incredibly fun boardgames. Axis and Allies is among the largest game played there, with scores of players participating in a 6 game swiss match.

The WBC lasts from Tuesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 3. The Axis and Allies matches are played throughout Wedsday and Thursday. Its a blast, and I highly encourage anyone who is free that week head down.

The convention is held outside of Baltimore, Maryland, at the Hunt valley Inn. information about signing up and joining can be found at:

If your going, reply here. I’d love to get a game going between site members.

we never should of been in nam. Diem was a jack-ass, and the country didn’t want to fight.

At least we were successful protecting south korea.
