A Brief History of Bump

Sounds like a Bears game to me. </font>

More results from the GV Newbies: Walker (US) defeated Hawk (German) by a score of 77-23 in Rabbit's Foot. So, Walker wins Round 2 with an overall score of 145-89 and advances to Round 3. Congratulations to Walker!

Herr K, You are currently on top of the list. So, I suggest you try to find some of the current participants to convince them to stop playing.

Sarge, Send me an email (tedquincey@yahoo.com) and I'll send you the questionairre and rules. There is a waiting list, but it can't hurt to get on it.

BM, Yes, those are indeed rare moments that should be enjoyed.

WARHAMMER, Try CMHQ or Tom's Combat Mission HQ.

BM, Getting greedy, eh?

BM, They both made it. My apologies if I did not respond. I have been a little distratced.

More results from the GV Newbies: Bad Monkey! (German) defeated Eric Alkema (US), 71-20, in Nothing Fancy. This increases Bad Monkey!'s lead to 93-34 in the round. Congratulations to Bad Monkey!!

Jim, Agreed. I've been burned too and it really sucks when people loss sight of why we play games. Oh well...

Seanachai, Yeah, you tell 'im! Thanks.

Dima, If a person goes to great lengths to cheat, I feel he should be properly rewarded for his efforts. I can think of no better reward than letting the world know so Cauldron can enjoy his moment of fame. About the CMHQ redesign, would you like to step into my shoes for a day? I contribute on average five hours per day on the various things I do in the CM community. If I knew how to work with HTML, I would be able to contribute more to the CMHQ redesign. In the meantime, I'll just stick to: -running the Boots & Tracks team; -gathering and disseminating news at CMHQ; -updating the links page at CMHQ; -working with Manx on the redesign of CMHQ; -running the Newbie Tournament (BTW, I am the only tournament director that does it all: scenario design and tournament administration); -responding to unenlightened, selfish comments; and -many things about which you'll likely never know. So, feel free to contribute to the community even half as much as I do. Until then, I shall take your comments for what they are: pointless.

VJ, Actually, what makes me feel bad is the fact that Cauldron will likely never enjoy CM (or any other game) for what it is. He is too busy finding ways around the challenges presented by the game that he fails to realise those very challenges are why we play the game. My birthday is in November. Thanks.

Tom's got lots of good stuff happening at Tom's Combat Mission HQ.

Cauldron has been disqualified from the Newbie Tournament. If you would like to know the details or discuss the matter, go here. I do not want this crap contaminating the Newbie thread. [ March 18, 2002, 06:30 AM: Message edited by: SuperTed ]

Eric (Cauldron), I have been giving this situation a lot of thought and have come to the conclusion that you do not belong in the Newbie Tournament. First, you fabricate a story about a corrupt scenario and not being notified of reinforcements. Neither of these events have ever happened in CM and I believe you created this excuse because you did not like the way things were going in the scenario. So, you lied. Second, you claim that the scenario cannot be won from the Allied side. Since the average Allied score for "A Bridge Too Close" is 47.2 and the average German score is 41.8, I would say the edge goes to the Allies. Despite repeated attempts on my part to ask you what the problems were with the scenario, you refused to answer my questions. So, you deceived. Third, you made matters worse only minutes after receiving the first file for "Mighty Mouse." Again, you resorted to making ridiculous claims that the Germans were going to have Pz IVs. There is NOTHING in the briefings that would indicate that. As a matter of fact, the French briefing states "...spotter aircraft have reported lightly-armored formations..." I have no idea how you concluded that to mean medium tanks were on the way. You asked what your mission was and I explained that the final score would be determined only by losses. This, despite being completely accurate, did not satisfy you. So, you visited the forum in search of an AAR. You attempted to justify this by saying that you would do things differently than in the AAR. That is completely irrelevant. Having an AAR for a scenario is cheating, especially in a tournament where all sides are assumed to be playing the scenarios blind. So, you cheated. There is no room in the Newbie Tournament for somebody who feels they need to lie, deceive, and cheat. Good day, sir. Ted
