    My only question to Paul is where he finds the time to type such lengthy posts in so many threads; including the rebuttals, the explanations, the clarifications, the edits, etc.

    It takes me longer to read most of his posts than I would normally take to compose one, and I'm retired with lots of time on my hands...lol

    Honestly Paul, for a tradesman, you must type like the wind.

    Anyway, good back and forth gents.

    If you actually look at the posts . There are many other posters with much longer replies than I have .

    Quite a few years ago I had some long ones .

    I use my left middle finger and my right fore finger as I " hen peck " slowly . Constantly backspacing to correct the double letters and typos .

     

    To get back on track here . Here is an excerpt from a post in 2015

    Absent owner - new CC restrictions?

    • Owner of YCGC has been absent for 2 months.

       

      WGTdbloshoe:
      we can't just take a club away from someone just because they have not been around for a little bit.
      DirtyDW:

      My first CC (NoMan's CC) was yanked. no explanation to me or members. I received one email stating that I closed it.

      WGT can do anything they want to do, even close CC's

        2 Months is not the definition of little bit . You guys have full admin . A transfer of ownership would resolve this . I am sure the previous owner would have no problem with that , rather than it completely fall apart .

      When my CC owner went off site for a couple of months he asked me to take over ownership in his place.. This was done easily by transfering with the owners tools... I cannot see any reason why WGT cannot make someone in the club temporary owner in the same way.. They can always hand ownership back if and when the original owner comes back on site....

      Looks easy to me  maybe a bit hard for WGT staff  to grasp!!!!!!

      EasyEdward:

       

      WGTdbloshoe:

      Is there a way for a new CC to purchase a larger CC OR does any new CC have to  start and build up using the CC XP system?

      If the only way is the later that seems extreme because it would take well over a year (or more) to get there.

       

       

      That I don't know.  I would have to talk to some other people to see how the system was set up.  I would have to think there was a way of doing it but not 100% sure.

       

      - WGTdbloshoe

       

         How are those talks coming along Shoe ? Lol . Not a priority you say ? Obviously . 

        The fact is that without leadership and guidance and organization and assistance . These ownerless CC's are doomed . Especially the members . It is possible to carry on some semblance of activity without an owner . Very few can accomplish this . The members , likely mostly recruits will remain recruits forever . In fact I have just recently noticed that many new WGTers are joining ownerless CC's by virtue of a clueless friend or a catchy name . Unknowingly entering into an unorganized inactive environment . With no way of knowing any different . Having little to none communication with fellow CC mates . All are none the wiser . This is happening right now . Today Sunday Sept. 25 2016 . There are new WGTers signing in to CC's without owners . 

        There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

        And there they remain . helpless . Naked and afraid . It is a sad state of affairs . 

        Shoe ? How are those talks coming along ?

        You know at the risk of pissing off  some of you . I would mention that I recently encountered an 80 member ownerless  CC filled with new recruits . To which Andyson ( god rest his soul ) would quickly jump to the ready . to investigate my claims . To uncover the real amount of new recruits to have signed in to this 80 member ownerless CC . And the fun would begin . I really do miss him . 

        The best part is . i used to be able to count on it . i wouldn't mention the name . but he would have no problem revealing that . Then it would become a numbers battle . To which neither would win . But so much fun .

      It's ironic that CC's which advertise; extolling the virtues of their membership and club philosophy, achieve somewhat limited success.

      Yet many CC's which never advertise, nor are publically referred to, have pending lists of players waiting to join. These CC's not only don't actively recruit, they don't even have an ownership team in place.

      Maybe Paul's snippet from the twilight zone intro is on point.

      ...strange

      These aren't waiting lists but dead lists of people who once were invited or applied but never fixed the deal.

      I have seen players both in a CC and on it's pending list.

      I have seen players in CC1 and on CC2's pending list.

      IMHO, these are just leftovers due to a gap or something in programming: Open invites or applications should be deleted by the program after some (short) time but they aren't. This is left to the owner but why should he do the game's work?

      In short form, the pending lists don't mean a thing.

      Thanks for clearing that up, Paul...makes more sense to me now.

    The current ongoing problem of Owners abandoning their CC's had a lively thread going . But was recently locked . After a back and forth of the T & C's got to be more than they wanted to deal with .

    Disappearing owner

    Was it's title .

    On the first page of this thread . And .

    On the last page of THANX TO THE GR8 CC's . There is an old list of these dead CC's . Those are only the ones I ran across and intentionally wrote down . I have easily just clicked off twice as many as that .

    I played a Legend today in the Year of the Rabbit Showdown . He was in a dead CC . I didn't say anything .

    Paul, as usual, "William"s poorly written attack says far more about him, than it does about his latest target.

    Strongly recommend you avoid his gas-lighting attempt.

    An apt story from newsthump which made me laugh >>>

    https://newsthump.com/2023/01/26/asteroid-set-for-near-miss-with-moron-infested-planet/

    Asteroid 2023 BU looks set to dramatically survive a near-miss with ‘Earth’, a planet well-known for carrying dangerously high levels of morons.

    The planet will apparently come within 3,600 kilometres of the truck-sized asteroid, which is merely a hair’s breadth in cosmic terms.

    Planetary expert Simon Williams explained, “It’s a lucky escape for asteroid 2023 BU, certainly. Planet Earth is home to literally the worst people in the entire universe.

    “There is nowhere else in the entire universe where reality television is so voraciously absorbed by dim-witted sacks of organic matter.

    “Even a minor collision could have seen it exposed to moronic entities such as Nadine Dorries, the people who believe Andrew Bridgen about anything, and GB News.

    “You simply don’t recover from something like that, and once you’re exposed to the Earth you’re contaminated forever. Probably with a McDonald’s franchise.

     

    “The asteroid might be a lifeless rock of stone and ice hurtling through space at close to absolute zero, but that still makes it miles better than Basingstoke.”

     

    Asteroid 2023 BU said it have never felt in any real danger, thanks to rigorous monitoring of planetary activity.

    A spokesperson for the asteroid explained, “We’ve been monitoring Earth for a few months now, ever since we discovered the potential for a close near-miss.

    “You don’t even have to touch the Earth these days as they’ve started extending their reach beyond the surface, which is hugely disappointing.

    “But thankfully we look set to avoid all contact and can be on our merry way without so much as a cursory glance towards the human race.

    “Which is nice.”

    I inhabit a moron-infested planet – get the T-shirt here!

    The only thing I admit to in this thread . Is not letting the topic die . If those efforts rub someone the wrong way ? Am I going to be sorry ? Am I going to revel in it ? I would only be hoping the correct eyes within ADMIN are reading this and taking note to continue to work on this to improve or resolve this troubling issue .

    That's it .

    My T-shirt says " Please be kind to the Moron's . But do not feed them " .My other shirt says like I have at the top of my website

    "PLEASE RESPECT ALL WHO INHABIT OUR PLANET"

     

    OMG LOL . If I really wanted to get you guys going . I would start a thread titled

    " PEACE ON EARTH "

    Colon you continue to make yourself look like an idiot. ive told you my name isnt William.  i dont want a response from the guy. most of us would prefer much less typing from the dude and you as well. another person that thinks their words matter to the masses. Trolls of a feather flock together it appears.
