Just had another email from Sauron. He's still in bad shape, but is stable. He's seen the thread and it has raised his spirits. He really appreciates the support being shown.

He says in the email "i read all post and when i will feel in better shape i will post and thanks all posters who send me their best wishes, amazingly they are all from the wargamer who migrated here."
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Get well soon,  Sauron. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

get better or were sending Windy to discuss climate change with you.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Good heavens. Just the mention of that could kill him! Please, for Sauron's sake - don't say that again!

Thanks for the update, Boggit.  I'm glad he's at least stabilized.  Now here's hoping he starts to improve quickly and soon!

What is climate?....


Oh sorry... I am indisposed to travel so I am sending my climate change TA over to teach you Sauron.

Wait a second?  So Frodo and Sam failed?  Why have I been forced to live believing this lie all these years?


Get well soon!

hello fellow wargamers!

thank you so much for your support and your kind words, it means lot to me even if we never meet in real life, i value the support of nice people. i cannot thanks personnaly all of you, since you are so many too post but i read carrefully all of them and they warmed my heart.
thanks to boggit to start this thread, i'm a bit embarassed that he tell so much about my life and the story of what happened to my brother, he was a nice guy, very kind and higly intelligent and wise but he was to weak carry on his life.its tragic he had enough courage to face death but not enough to face life. he gave nevertheless some wise advice for life and the way to see things. he was not a wargamer because he hate even simulated violence and war above all for many good reasons that i cannot tell because its too personnal and private.he loved reflection games like solve puzzles or complicate but abstract games. i guess if people like him were the majority of mankind, war would never exist and we all would play dominoes instead! but reality is alas otherwise, for my part i think that people like him musst be protected from less kind people and tragicaly thats why history will repeat itself forever i guess. we all have our burden less or more heavy depending on our life experience, for my part i would rather have less one because a "rich" or "eventfull" life means often lot of pain...boggit is a very nice guy who has is very own burden, especialy on the health level too and one time is showed me a private conversation with one of you and told how his health issue changed his look on the world and what realy matters in life, not power and wealth but true and valuable relations with friends and people and share knowledge and passions. i musst confess this year i was not very playful concerning wagames, my last pbem turn game was in april with one of my best friend but real life issues on his side and mine caused us to stop our hobby.this month i took resolution to tka vacancy of my real life problems in order to prevent what is left of my health since it get critical mid july. now i'm resting and watch movies from bed or listen to music i enjoy. and finaly three days ago i played for the first time a game i bought two week ago because the went from 39 euros to decent 20 euros, the game is called "for liberty", i played the demo years ago and i realy enjoyed it and the full game didn't disapoint me.
i saw that some games are now out like xenonauts wich demo i played also months ago was very good. another game which some of you surely awaiting like me is this one, i give the link because some of you would not believe such good news! ;)

Hello Sauron!

Glad you are feeling well enough to post here. We've been worried about you and are glad you're feeling better.

That Star Trek game looks interesting. Never heard of it. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you're back Sauron, even if only a little bit!  Please don't be a stranger.  Thanks for the game links, and hope you start feeling better soon.
