View Full Version : Congratulations, Caravel!
....On your promotion to Senior Member. All hail! ~:cheers:
Congrats !
How do you become a senior memeber anyway?
And to think, not long ago he was going to leave us. This is much deserved, and a "well done" to the promotion staff.
:balloon2: ~:cheers: :balloon2:
Hope you are enjoying the secret pr0n stash!
Congratulations Caravel ! ~:cheers:
I saw the title "Senior Member" today, but I thought "Hmmmm, that's odd, I never noticed he was a Senior Member before". :laugh4:

Well done!

We generally have to be old & crotchety, and make comments about "you young whippersnappers" all the time. We're also supposed to complain that back in our day, we had to navigate our way to the forums on a 28k modem uphill....both ways. ~;)

Jest aside, this is a well-deserved promotion, Caravel. I have come to know you as a very valuable .Org member, the kind that is most helpful and has a fine sense of humour, a great posting style and a thorough grasp of M:TW.

Congrats Caravel. Good job on all accounts and well deserved. (It seems like people should be shouting SPEECH SPEECH).

there I think I drummed up enough for an acceptable congratulatory celebration.
Caravel (or Caravellini) as i first "met" him,
is one of my favorite posters eversince his days at the com.
His wit (quick and originally british), his humor ("it reminds me of the days i was waxing cars and was known as caravelotto san", "only if they make elmo grand vezieer of the sublime thonged ones") and his unsatified thirst and undying love for (Medieval) TW will be always remembered and celebrated!
:horn:
Congrats on your seniority Caravel

Congratulations, Caravel. ~:cheers:
"I remember the first time I met Caravel. It was in a bar in a quiet corner of San Fransisco, 1932, and he was ever an optimistic young gentlemen who had aspirations to run his own business. The Depression hadn't dampened his soul one bit. He claimed pessimism only made things worse..." :laugh4:
Well, it wouldn't be much of a congratulations without me being smartass, now, would it? :2thumbsup:

Not really sure what the "Senior Member" means (except that you're a senior member) but congratulations anyway!

Congrats Caravel! I also enjoy your posts as well. Keep on battling!:smash:
"it reminds me of the days i was waxing cars and was known as caravelotto san"
Now that was a while ago! Where did you dig that one up? To be honest I can't remember what it was all about?! :laugh4:
Many thanks to all. I had to refresh the browser a few times, before it began to sink in.
Regards
Caravel

Caravellini...you were the first person to lend a helping hand when I started MTW. Glad you ve found your niche.
All the very very best.
May I add my own belated congratulations, Caravel (I have been away these past two weeks).
Here's Cheers to you, my good sir! ~:cheers:

Thats funny, well titles dont mean much anyway, heck Im probably one of the oldest people here anyway at almost 40.
bamff, good to see you back! ~:cheers:
Tony Furze, haven't seen you here for a while, thanks! :bow:

It's not necessarily all about physical age, more so mental age. Martok and myself behave like old duffers, regularly gurning and shaking our sticks (bonus vs cavalry of course) at RTW players (who are all under 14 and have never played any of the other TW games ever). In our day there was real strategy, most notably the brilliant Viking Huscarle bumrush and historically accurate units such as Almohad Urban Militia, Berserkers, Byzantine Infantry, Hashishin, the Kensai and the Battlefield Ninja! We had to fight on real hills and cross real bridges and... and...

Im glad it dosent have anything to do with physical age, you keep shaking the stick at RTW players, I am an old STW player (still have it) I almost passed out when there werent going to be assassin movies....
anyway congrats on the promotion, you certainly add a lot to the boards I enjoy your insights a lot.

Hey Tony, good to see around again! Sorry to hear about your wife, though; I wish her a speedy recovery. :balloon2:
bamff, good to see you back! ~:cheers:
I'll second that, and raise you a congratulations to bamff on being runner-up for the MTW AAR award. ~:cheers:

LOL! :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: Ah, gotta love your sense of humour, Caravel. :bow:
You're quite right, though: I think being a "senior" member is far more about state of mind than actual age. Those of us that talk about the "good old days", and that gush that Shogun and Medieval being the very pinnacle of strategy gaming excellence, etc.... ~;)
A very belated,
Congratulations
