We'd just like to take this opportunity to welcomes the newest additions to the Order of Battle moderator team - bru888 and Andy2012.

bru888 and Andy2012 have already been doing all the things a moderator does but just without any recognition!
Thanks for accepting bru888 and Andy2012. We look forwards to working with you!

I think there was a Simpsons episode during which Homer becomes a Union boss.

"So what does this job pay?"
"Nothing"
"D'oh"
"Unless you are crooked"
"Wohooo"

I think this neatly sums it up. So, pm me suggestions for bribes. Vintage booze, flattery, barely legal daughters, nothing is below me.
( I told them this would be a mistake. But they wouldnt listen. Guess it truely is the age of Trump and Brexit. :mrgreen: )

So, yeah, let's do this.

I always told you that your humility would be your downfall. That, and your sense of taste and dignity. I have neither, so there. :mrgreen:

Andy what kind of bribes do you accept? I hope not beer cause it is too heavy to ship internationally.

bru888 is the master of answering questions. He must be a teacher in real human life.

Bribes? Mostly mindless adulation by complete strangers on the Internet. Too bad this forum does not have like buttons, they would be my currency. If you have other ideas, pm me. Self-abasement is also welcome.
My bet btw is that bru is in high finance and mostly does this helpful act to atone for his horrible, horrible sins as a spreadsheet warrior. :mrgreen:

(I am just having a laugh here. It brightens my day. Lets keep this show on the road. :D )

Well, at least I am a pillar of some community now. So much for "abject failure", mom. :mrgreen:

I am a perceptive hacker. I know what you are doing, six hundred miles away. Information oozes through my keyboard. :mrgreen:
(I am just having a laugh, relax. Dont know anything, you could be Santa for all I care. Nothing wrong with finance and spreadsheets, btw. We're all friends here. Nobody tries to doxx anyone. :D )

Und was bringt uns das?
Antworten auf Fehler gibt es trotzdem keine, ob etwas weitergemeldet wird weiß keiner und Feedback ... na ja, außer Erik's Antwort nichts!!
Darum also anstatt neue Moderatoren was sinnvolles tun und Patches rausbringen, und zwar die fehlerbereinigt sind!!!!!

Well, Herr General, we newbies are better than nothing. That is, three moderators are better than just having one overworked Erik. We will do our best to provide answers and encourage corrections and improvements.

For example, see how I laid out the problem of "Combat prognosis in ship battle" in Tech Support. I believe that is what a "new moderator" is supposed to do. Can I make the correction myself? I wish! But no, I can only call the attention of experts to the issue after I have done my homework. The rest is up to those experts but we can make it a bit easier for them.

That, I believe, is the answer to "Und was bringt uns das?"

Sorry, das sehe ich anders. Hier wird viel gelabert, aber wenig getan. Deswegen Verweise ich jetzt auf mein Posting http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 72&t=78145. worauf selbst nach 14 Tagen keine Reaktion außer die von Erik erfolgte. Schwaches Bild, und das ist schon seit dem ich hier bin (seit dem es OoB erschienen ist!!!)!!!!

I think you are not getting any answers because you post in German in a decidedly English-speaking forum. And you expect answers to demands and threats which just add a lot of exclamation marks instead of relying on valid arguments and carefully phrased, coherent sentences. Even your German is quite bad. I think that answers all your questions and your rather hilarious legal threats in your tech support post.

Du bekommst keine Antworten weil Du auf Deutsch in einem englischsprachigen Forum postest. Deine posts sind nur Forderungen und Drohungen mit vielen Ausrufezeichen statt Argumenten und vollstaendigen Saetzen. Und dein Deutsch ist auch schlecht. Ich glaube, das beantwortet deine Fragen und amuesanten Drohungen mit einem Anwalt.

Sometimes there are moments in a man's life, when he is glad he doesn't understand German :lol:
