Post subject: | My heartfelt thanks to you all |
<font face="Comic Sans MS"><b><font color="yellow"><center>Friends, Comrades, Opponents, Fellow Club Members, Gentlemen: Hail!</center></font id="yellow"></b> Happily, my future, here, begins to take Form, coalescing from drifting mist in the Void, if you will. Firstly, though I dare not presume this might be universally well-recieve'd, my presence here is Permanent. So fear not, those of you to whom such news falls pleasantly upon their ears. Secondly, & this cannot be overstated: My happening upon this gathering of Warriors called ACWGC, was a critical step in the process of preparing me to successfully negotiate the Flaming Hoop of Fire so recently consummated. Those that were there that Sunny & Crisp February Morning, DH Smith & Nick Kunz, may well recall that Fire-eating Cadet Candidate, armed with my trademark brand of Sappy Sentimentality. What has followed is a story long, wonderful & ongoing that sadly must be told elsewhere & subsequently. Today I offer up my most profound & sincere gratitude to you ALL, for allowing me to join your company. More than mere, if pretty sounding words, it has & continues: an Honor. That said, I find myself unable & unwilling to bury myself beneath a Mountain of games &, while I cannot yet state at what level of active competition I will eventually gravitate to, my intent & wish is to reduce my open games to Zero without conceding a solitary Field due to my being AWOL. However, & here lies the Crux of my new approach: Only those protagonists for whom turn rate considerations hold no great value need apply. The rest can take their Major Victories, with every blessing in my Heart, while I play the others. Henceforward I will not be bound by any such considerations myself, replacing them with my firm & solemn promise to never "not" come back & to send word as soon as practicable, should anything unusual be afoot. I can never truly convey the degree to which I am in the Debt of you Gentlemen, fettered & bound as I am by mere words. If I ever get over my shyness, I might really show y'all somin' but for now, please allow me to simply close with: "Thank you so very much & Bio Con Dios!" <salute></font id="Comic Sans MS"> |
