Hi, guys. I hope to see some of you at 8 pm EST on Thursday in the Matrix chat room. Wild Bill will be there, and the main task is to set a firm date for our meeting in Charleston WV next year. Then we can start working out the details. Glenn.

Thanks for your perseverence, Glenn. I'll make an effort to be there.

That's great Glenn. I will be part of the chat. Unless I forget. I am on the road working and might forget. Please update and remind us as the day gets closer.

I will do all possible to make it to the convention next year. I have not committed before, but I think it is time to do so.
Good luck.

My calendar is marked, Glenn...both for the chat on Thursday and the reunion in West Viriginia. I'd love to see all of you at both of them.

Of course, that is an old wargamer's dream and not reality.

But let me encourage you to join us Thursday 8PM

http://unix.matrixgames.com/chat/

There is the address. Now you have a direct connection. It will be time well spent. We always have a fun time together.

You may have some questions about the WB current MC project, Mega Campaign-Watchtower.

If you show up, I might lose my propriety and give you some real exciting news about this new Mega Campaign in the works.

I also may have an important announcement in the next few weeks regarding me personally.

As for the reunion in Charleston, I'll be there, if God gives me life and strength. I'll be there, even if it is Glenn and me. Whether a part of Matrix or just a die-hard gamer, I'll be there.

To have the chance to meet only a handful of you wonderful folks would be worth the trip for me. As life goes it may be my only chance to see many of you face to face and enjoy the personal camaraderie. It is going to be a lot of fun!

Glenn has worked long and hard to make this happen. Talk is easy. Work is hard. Let's show this comrade in arms that we appreciate what he is doing.

So KG, I know two people will be there <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

And we'll have a gaming blast!

See you Thursday. I'll be catching an RSD from Henderson Field so I can make it to the chat on Thursday at 8PM right here on the Matrix Chat forum....

Barring an OCONUS deployment, I will be there also. So at least three of us...

"I also may have an important announcement in the next few weeks regarding me personally.

Does any of this scare anyone?

Jackk, I picked up on some of Bill's comments, too. Sounds a little ominous. Maybe he can shed some light on this in our chat. You got us concerned now, Wildman. I hope everything is OK with you. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I'll look forward to meeting with you all on Thursday. I would not miss a meeting with this fine posse for anything.

We'll have a good time...we always do!

It will be good to have the good Doc with us. By the way, you'll have to fill me in on OCONUS.

It will all be good!

Wild Bill

Just a reminder: convention/new MC chat with yours tuly and special guest Wild Bill Wilder Thursday at 8pm EDT. I anticipate a good turnout this time.

I now know I am getting older. I also know now that I am truly addicted to this game. Wit the following: I am on a business trip, and on thursday Aug 30 8:00pm eastern there will be a party amongst the people involved in this gathering. 8 of 10 are female, mostly attractive. Alcohol will be served(free of charge). Guess where I will be. HERE in the chat room. My god what happened to me. I must get back to work now, everyone pray for my sanity.

Well, parusski, look at this way--the meeting won't be until next May, and I hope that there will be plenty of drinks flowing. However, the women you must supply on your own. I can see the headlines now:"Crazed wargamers pillage downtown Charleston--National Guard called in--they JOIN the gamers!" <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Oh ..how far it seems to be Italy when I hear you talking about a convention !!!
Well have a long life WB !
There should be also a time for your travels accross Europe !!!! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Wild Bill · Post by **Wild Bill** » Thu Aug 30, 2001 5:51 am

Parusski, your loyalty knows no bounds. Resisting that temptation...well, you are a man with a steel will is all I can say.

Ruxius! I'll make it to Milano one day. We'll sip expresso and talk about war. I'll look forward to it.

Wild Bill

Hello, Kunel. OCONUS = Outside of the CONtinental United States (meaning the 48 mainland states). Not too likely in the next 24 hrs. Only obstacle will be Household 6. However, if Parusski can forgo the temptations offered by his environment, I suppose that I can venture to endure the wrath of one scorned (yet again) for a session with the computer...
