Here is the true story, how I became the owner of Florin Boitor’s, executive producer of SH3, lighter case:

I showed up at the meeting with the unique wpl/egl zippo lighter from the subsim club. After I had started a lament that the lighter never has worked properly, Nosferatu examined it and found out that there was no fire stone.
I then borrowed a lighter from Doc and Nosferatu attached Doc’s fire stone into my lighter. Still, the white gas was missing. Because Nosferatu’s car is a diesel, we decided to borrow a little bit of fuel from Drebbel’s car.
Our guerrilla tactic did not succeed because Drebbel’s car was fuel theft protected and so we dediced to organise some fuel the other day.

We then went to the pub where I had a chance to talk to special guest Florin. We soon talked about football (soccer) which is what boys usually talk about. We found out that the world actually is a small place: the former Romanian world -class football player Marcel Raducanu, nickname:�Balkan Maradonna�, is the owner of the indoor football park where I play football each week and sometimes I even see him playing football on the nearby football ground , also I have seen him unloading his car, blowing his nose etc. pp.
However, we later agreed to swap our lighters to renew the old German-Romanian axis of evil. Of course, we were only swapping the lighter casings because my lighter still had no fuel.

Next morning, the first thing people tell me, is that Florin had lost his lighter to which I replied: “No, no, he swapped it with me� and I proudly presented my new lighter without fuel. Swapping and losing is not the same. I did not do the old “swap- the- lighter� trick. When it became clear that Florin was missing the lighter which originally had been mine, I immediately started searching in my pockets, just to make sure that I don’t own 2 lighters all of a sudden. Florin retrieved his lighter later on the day, which was a great relief for me.

To make a long story short: now I legally own a lighter which assembles Florin's, executive producer of SH3, lighter case, Doc’s fire stone, Drebbel’s fuel not and that is actually running because it was reconditioned by LI Nosferatu. :|\

What can I say? Thank you so much, everyone.

Guess what? The next day Crow gave me a "unique wpl/egl zippo lighter from the subsim club" with a fire stone but without gas, under the condition that I should make a small donation to Subsim.com.
I handed Neal $ 5 on the spot - it was at the restaurant in Kootwijk where we can be seen seated around the table in the sun - and he promptly promised me a new cool avatar - a picture that Horsa took the day before.
Just wait and see...

By the way, Dan D, can have your lighter back at the next meeting, if you want. I don't even smoke...
:rotfl:

[elanaiba]

Well, Dan D, the most important fact to mention is that your name resembles that of one of the most important persons in the SH3 team. :P :P :P

[Dan D]

You mean "Dan", a game developer from Bucharest, Romania?
I have heard, the developers team used to play football once in a while.

[elanaiba]

No! Dan D. - check the dev team. He's a very cool guy, I know :P :P :P

Not much of a football player though...

[Dan D]

Anyway, I think the game developers did a marvelous job, just to mention the seagulls. Very cool, thx to whom it may concern.

[elanaiba]

LOL, I think my poor attempt at humour misfired

There is no irony in this posting. We discussed the game at the meeting. The ai movement of the sea gulls is very realistic, almost like real, and as such it s one of the highlights when it comes to details of the game. The developers did an overall great job.
btw. we are about to hijack this thread.

[XabbaRus]

Very cool

How come the woman who is sharky has her face blanked out?

Guys how about having the next subsim meet in Scotland..purely selfish reasons but I'd be able to show you around, the North East anyway./

No subs mind, but tonned of cool castles, flying haggises and beautiful scenery.

I might even talk Nessie into making an appearance.

Sharkstooth - who is actually a very sweet and innocent nurse shark - prefers not to have her face on internet, although we were at liberty to take her picture in real life. We respect that of course...
She is not a terrorist nor a secret agent (we thought).

Ahh so thats what Drebble and NEal look like i dont know but maybe becasue this site is about navalwarfare i presume Neal to look like some Ex-Admiral with captains hat in white suit and all, and i always visioned Drebble as some Captain Blackbeard type of character.... How wrong was i! :hmm:

Great story, Dan!

[Onkel Neal]

I want to add a special thanks to the Dutch who hosted the meeting: Dargo, Menno (BlueBeard), Drebbel, Abraham, Angel, and Yvon. You guys set a new high mark for Subsim meets!
