No, that is actually what spurred my interest in the original purpose as stated by the site designers. As I stated, any medal can be interpreted as encouraging behavior and rewarding. And, in light...

lol, well done. I read your post and then reread the date, then wondered what was going on. THEN I noticed your name was Eric.

Bravo, for both your wit and your luck. :beer:

While I agree that chasing medals might seem like a bad thing (not even sure how to get medals myself, but won't turn one down if I get it serendipitously, and have definitely applied for my KS medal...

Well, that happens when you start typing up half formed ideas. I guess it really boils down to Pirates were responding to dehumanizing conditions by choosing a life of murder and robbery. Ninjas...

In my experience, whenever they mixed services, they put the Marine in charge. When I went to Army schools I was the class leader though at least half of the Army dogs there outranked me. I realize...

Agreed, I think the modern concept of Bushido, more than the actual practice of the period, is admirable. Much like the modern concept of Chivalry, as opposed to the actual actions of knights and...

Aha, Gator Navy! I had the pleasure of having them herd me in more than one landing craft, visions of John Wayne hitting the beach filling every head supported by a Leatherneck. :)

I've always found the Samurai idea of honor to be very strange. I read about the battle of Sekigahara and the entire outcome is dependent upon whether one commander will change loyalty and fight for...

My father was stationed at 29 Palms when I was in HS. Lived right under Shadow Mountain. Went on a 50 mile training/recon hike with him to Amboy. He was considering taking his company on the same...

Exactly my point. I've always had as my employment goal, reaching a point where everything I do is accomplished by someone coming by and pressing a big push button on my desk where I used to sit and...

Very nice work, James. And I enjoy the historical notes on the ship in your blog, even if only copied from Wikipedia. What is the time frame for someone of your skill to complete the kit...

Pirate, never understood the fascination with Ninja, other than Academic. There were plenty of assassin societies, and some perhaps better than Ninja. But in the end they were simply assassins,...

I heard there was some kind of Valley out Red River way. Or at least I seem to remember a Red River Valley. :beer:

Welcome!

Welcome Ray! It sounds as if you have robust and healthy gaming group just waiting to try out SoG. Congrats on that, it takes time and effort to keep a good group going.

I would hope you purchased several copies of SoG, for you and all your alternate identities! You could have a fleet action with each of you captaining your own ship!

I, too, hope to see a lot of development for this game, in time. Glad to see you, Fabiroux, so vocal and active so quickly.

Welcome Michael. Consider the mainbrace spliced!

Why yes I have. The question becomes, is the crowd pre or post lobotomy? :beer:

I hail from the great Naval state of Colorado. Well, great if you count the Kayak fleets. Not so much for anything else.

I have always enjoyed reading the historical fiction from the Age of Sail...
