Just for the heck of it , let's list some of the veteran players that we've had disappear in recent years. Maybe if we mention their names 3 times , they'll reappear. I'd like to start with the 1st player to help me out on this forum. Terminus, Terminus, where art thou Terminus? [:(] [:(][:)]

If you get a grandchild to set up your computer system, you achieve brevet rank in the Old Guard. If you can remember something that happened thirty years ago as though it was yesterday, but can't remember what you had for breakfast yesterday, you may achieve Feldmarchal's rank in the Old Guard. If you're a guy but buy products from Hanes, you might be Old Guard.

Shorter Candidates went to the Chasseurs de la Garde Well that's what Wiki says anyway [;)] Pretty stiff requirements. Re: the "face the enemy" one - I had to stare down the barrel of an AK-47 held by an Egyptian soldier who probably had a grade 2 education. I was with the UNEF 2 mission and we were returning from Israel to HQ at Ismailia on the Suez Canal. It was the middle of the night and we were hurrying to cross the pontoon bridge across the canal before it was dismantled to allow ship traffic. Getting stopped at a checkpoint on the Egyptian side of the buffer zone was not unusual, but the number of soldiers pointing automatic weapons at our UN car was! Fortunately the young lieutenant in charge was educated and spoke enough English to get by. He spent a long time talking to the guy named "David" in our car and looked very closely at our diplomatic passports. He allowed us through though, and we found out a couple of days later that Israeli spies had been using fake Canadian Passports and a UN-painted vehicle to get into Egypt! Those checkpoint guards were no doubt on hair trigger. So, does that qualify as "facing the enemy" (enemy = distrust, fear and maybe hatred)?

On a more serious note, it's a propitious day when Andre returns after a nine-month (or so) sabbatical. Welcome back, Chickenboy! Really glad to see you. Now I'll try a few more: 1.

I never left. Even during my 2.25-year hiatus from playing, I remained active in the forum (sometimes more than others). John III and I resumed our game about the time you left. He called a timeout from our game in July. He says he's coming back. I'm not sure he will. If he doesn't, I'll probably sabbatical again.

geofflambert -> RE: Bring back "The Old Guard" request. (9/20/2016 3:01:35 AM)
Cb, it's really good to see you back.
