Welcome back!

Thank you drone - nice to be here again, and happy new year to all

If you want access to your old account, send email to and therother will sort you out.

i'm (as you can see) actually having trouble accessing my new account too..

which will probably send caravel on a stroll down suspicious lane "is it really him? etc" (if it hasn't already hence why he hasn't talked back)..

However, it is me who started that thread 10[! - god how time flies..] years ago.. at the time - besides playing a very interesting crusading campaign as the french on the - then - newer edition of the pocket mod, i was reading quite a lot of christian theology - snt thomas aquinas, origen, meister eckhart and other saints, mystics and scholars of both the orthodox and the catholic churches.. most of them lived in the medieval period,so i thought the concept of the 'deadly sins' quite appropriate as well as a bit funnily self-parodying for a MTW thread on iron man rules..

seeing now how things developed [in pages 2, 3 and 4] in that thread is a bit sad - apparently some people detest iron man rules and the gameplay facets that they try to bring out - hence they agressively deconstructed them - some times more rationally and others more straight out emotionally..

While it may not be a bad thing to get both sides of the argument in one thread - however it seems that certain people had very specific reasons for doing so - it all comes down to certain patrons and their political agenda in the forums etc etc and this conflict has been played to death in the MTW forum since those days, again i have to say that it surprises me that it still lingers on..

While divergent styles and being zealously supportive of the one you prefer is part and parcel of the forums debate, past a certain point things get a little too dogmatically dismissive, too aggressively deconstructive, too personal..

which leaves me with very little else to do ,since a 10 years lapse has not been enough to cure the animosities and hatreds, than having to take all said animosity and hatred as a compliment..

Again, a happy new year to you all
