is it true this is the amount of funds missing from our account at HMGS east if thats the case someone might have some explaining to do.

historygamer19 Mar 2010 2:52 p.m. PST

There is no money "missing" that I aware of. Perhaps if you put some more facts into your post, that might help, as you make is sound like money is unaccounted for. That did happen about 6 years ago. Are you confusing the two situations?

Maybe this is the payoff to get out of the Baltimore contract, oh wait Baltimore is in Maryland not Jersey.

Nobody stole it…they just p***ed it away the old fashioned way, extravagent convention programs, questionable purchases, unjustified travel, etc. And a new set of barbarians at the gates…the end of civilization was we know.

Seems to me that happened several years ago too. You think it is an organizational problem? Naaaah.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Meh…although I am slightly curious about what happened to Sandra Bullock.

nevinsrip19 Mar 2010 9:55 p.m. PST

RUSTYCOP, Shake off the rust and investigate if you are as your name suggests. If not, call the PO-Leece and ask them to look into it. They are very good at this type of thing.

Otherwise………(better left unsaid)

vojvoda19 Mar 2010 10:32 p.m. PST

Now this is all just total bull stuff. The truth of the matter is the board approved a one time payment of 83,000 and change to make me go away. for an additional 1K I agreed to cross the Mississippi. Simple economics. No men on a grassy knoll here.

Wait…who in their right mind hands a group of gamers 84k? What did they expect the outcome to be? I can't even behave with 84 dollars.

jgawne20 Mar 2010 7:04 a.m. PST

how did they even GET 84K

Why cheapen a perfectly good hobby with politics and money?

You didn't expect the free cake to be free did you?

"Why cheapen a perfectly good hobby with politics and money?"

Now *that* would be a good question to ask at an HMGS-East sensing session.

Tumbleweed Supporting Member of TMP20 Mar 2010 9:36 p.m. PST

Tiger Woods had some good news today. The body shop called and told him his SUV was ready.

Steve Hazuka21 Mar 2010 7:13 a.m. PST

Anyone watching the NCAA Basketball finals?

First Tiger Woods then Sandra Bullock…

I thought she was too old for him.

flicking wargamer22 Mar 2010 1:50 p.m. PST

Does anyone make a Tiger Woods mini? You could then have one of his wife and a golf club. Maybe for zombie games. Just a thought.

*NJH: If Sandra Bullock was into fat old geezers who know the button colors of officers of the 95th rifles serving on the Peninsula in 1809, we might have some juicy news regarding her and you-know-who on the BOD! Otherwise I'm staying with the idiots choice network – "The Bongolesian New Network, BNN the most trusted name in Fake News." I say give them a try they never get anything correct, but they're more fun.

Is there ANYTHING about Historicon that American wargamers like?

Is there ANYTHING about the people who put in the work, that American wargamers are satisfied with?

Is there ANYTHING some of the critics won't attack?

huh?

Ed Mohrmann24 Mar 2010 3:46 a.m. PST

Mal, there are over 27,000 members of this forum.

Probably, a thousand or so of them have been to an
Historicon. Concerning Historicon (or other events)
the number of posters who are negative in their posts
are a very small fraction, indeed.

I started running gatherings for gamers in 1971. I've
always welcomed the 'why did you…' or the 'why don't
you…' or the 'What were you thinking !' comments
as a way to potentially improve our events.

We'll be doing numbers 45 and 46 later this year, and
look forward to more opportunity to improve.

May the best of good fortune attend your upcoming
convention.

Mal – I think the vast majority of people LOVE Historicon! That's why we have been so vocal in our dismay over what has been done too it.

firstvarty197924 Mar 2010 11:33 a.m. PST

Historicon is great the way it is IMHO. That's why I (and many others) think they should have left it alone.

Ignorance is bliss, Ed. Plus there's past history.
