How do you become a senior memeber anyway?

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.Originally Posted by Odin

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.
Every weapon has evolved from the same basic design, either a rock or a sharp pointy stick.
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!

Congrats on your seniority Caravel
Congrats Caravel, you fully deserve this great title, we have to start calling you master now!
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?!Originally Posted by excetchzebe1
Many thanks to all. I had to refresh the browser a few times, before it began to sink in.
Regards
Caravel

bamff, good to see you back!
Tony Furze, haven't seen you here for a while, thanks!
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...Originally Posted by Odin

anyway congrats on the promotion, you certainly add a lot to the boards I enjoy your insights a lot.

Ah, gotta love your sense of humour, Caravel.

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....![]()
