I didn't like the way Steve acted on the end of the game, with comments such as "you are soon to default on time - Make your move as Captain or Resign in Disgrace" even though we were winning.

If I was on Fernando's shoes, I would have renounced too regards

that was my sense of humor basically directed at Fern and i am sure Fern took it as such
Fern and i go back 10 years from posting on another forum
throughout the game i tried to pepper my moves with comments like that
and the team responded in kind with similar comments
i enjoyed the "trash talking" good natured jibing
there is no way i would have claimed a time forfeit even if the Res was winning.i did not devote something like 25-30 hours on this game to claim wins by default..

Steve

Hi Fern,

Will you Captain your boys again in a match against me + Sebi and the 8 core machine against anything you can throw at us?

Happy Christmas,

Harvey

Merry Christmas,

Harvey, I am NOT a perpetual captain of anything. Only If people vociferously ask my spiritual assistance again for anything, I will consider it with my crisis cabinet.

Captain?
What a nerve you have!
You know well that my position was -and would be again- more that of a servant than that of a captain. I commanded nothing, I just counted votes and served the stellar, Hollywood kind of rol by Terry and Tony.
Even more, when in response to my politeness I waited something more the arrival of votes, certain bureaucrat of the site accused me of being at the brink of resigning the game....

I still need lot more inducement for anything regards. Perhaps a computer...

if i recall correctly you wished death upon the Elders
you were a dead man walking ..
it was all i could do to stop them from taking out a contract on your life
you are alive today because of my behind the scenes intervention for your life

as part of the deal to spare you.. you must Captain the Hiarcs 8 core match.. oh and also do a little light cooking for the team members whenever they are in the mood for a snack..
nothing elaborate ..just some cold sandwiches .. pretzels .. chips ..etcetc

i will ring the bell when i am hungry regards

Hi Capitano Fernando,

I think I have to step in here and say that Steve as all forum members can see runs the Snack Bar. He does not have the option to delegate this responsibility and certainly not to a Senior Member like you. Steve's Snack Bar will provide the team captain and regular players with Snacks 24 hours a day at your request freshly prepared by Steve.

Admiral of the Fleet Regards,

Harvey

What is this?
I see here, posting, admirals, commodores, etc.
So, as captain, I am nothing.

I am asking right now a fast promotion or I go regards

You are captain of the Hiarcs Flagship and as such your decision is final regarding moves by your team and can not be overruled even by the Admiral of the Fleet. You also have direct management of Steve's Snack Bar during games to keep your men lubricated.

If you take on this next challenge I will give you the immediate Field promotion to Vice Admiral upon a succesful completion of this hazerdous mission. :)
