Where Is Everybody?( Big Drop )

Graf Paper · 10-29-08, 12:48 AM

As I have explained recently, I was away over the summer because my computer and time was tied up with helping my nephews learning about how to compile, configure, modify, and admin a server for a game they love to play.

It was probably the last go at having such fun with them as the usual distractions and diseases of being a teenager have begun to set in and I go from being the "cool" uncle to just the "crazy old" uncle.

I plan on playing SH3 until the wheels fall off, so to speak. After all, it's a long way to go until 1945 and I'd like to try a career with at least one variant of each u-boat type as my primary boat, after I complete my main career that moves forward with improvements in u-boat technology. Then there's the monsun boats, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Indian Ocean, and long-haul Type IX missions to the Americas and Carribean.

And that's just with GWX! I still have NYGM, WAC, Frontflotille, and AOTD to explore, not to mention trying out online multiplayer missions.

I'd like to see an online flotilla for us old sea dogs to have as a gathering place.

I also should mention that I've noticed an influx of new recruits in the past week or two. It's easy to spot some because they're asking about using old mods that are still linked in the Subsim website. There's even been one or two familiar names that have made their presence known recently.

It wouldn't surprise me if I were the one to turn out the lights as I'm the last out the door. Until then, Brag, let's break out the bottle and toast our victories, escapes, and absent friends in service to our beloved virtual Ubootwaffe!

I'm back now but my heart has never left the North Atlantic and probably never will.
