New Captain Club
All,

Please head over to the new club founded by Bearz2 for all team related discussion. gameknot.com

This club will stay active for now as a general discussion club. Hopefully the tone of the club will calm as I’m not planning on actively moderating it.

I will be taking suggestions on the future direction of the club, I’m open to anything with the exceptions of politics and team play

JJ (king_0_nothing). I wish you would keep your club and ban the threads that you don't like, especially POLITICS. Another suggestion. Ban long posts. I never take the trouble to read them.

JJ
JJ did a commendable job running this club. I will be sorry to see it pass. But I have every confidence in Bearz running the new club.

While political discussions won't be entertained on in the new club, no one is forcing anyone to read anything. I am sorry you don't enjoy books, ShirlmyGirl. If someone has something they need to say breaking it into three or more little posts doesn't make any sense to me.

But your other recommendation I believe is advised, even if it is the political threads that are the most active. Even you posted more on the political threads than the others. Your input, of course, I regard as very valuable, regardless of the topic. Keen insights!

Do you get along with Bearz2 all right?

Calm Tone
It was the team threads here that created the most animosity. Politics seemed to carry on friendly enough.

Which was completely unexpected.

I don't agree that the Politics threads seemed friendly enough, Lord_Shiva. Personally, I thought that many of the posts were quite spiteful.

My apologies Shirley, but it is almost a month passed since your February 10th post and I’m just now reading it. This is exactly why the club couldn’t continue as the captain’s club; that and gameknot wouldn’t have allowed ownership transfer.

This club can become whatever we may want it to be. I just want everyone to have the understanding that will be largely unmoderated and in the world of captains, well that’s a recipe for disaster.

I will be back full time one day, perhaps as early as fall of 2022. Otherwise I’ll peek in from time to time. I only have three games left to complete so after they’re done I won’t even be visiting every third day anymore and more likely weeks will pass between visits.

I will look forward to your returning to us JJ (king_0_nothing). I do understand because I am aware of some of the circumstances. And in response to lord_shiva's question above, which I overlooked at first, I have nothing against bearz2. In fact, I like and admire him.

report abuse, no?
Je souhaite que King_Of_nothing s'accroche à sa vocation de superviseur du club/forum. Vocation ? Oui ! Hypocrite est ma sollicitation, il a pris ma défense lors d'un souci de langue/traduction, j'apprécie les "batailles" de cette fière lame -excuse I'am papa fondateur de l'équipe goto:"gameknot.com, Si, je dis bien si, pourquoi pas tenter la parité ? Une "Damoiselle", Schirlmygirl, j'aime bien !

I was curious to see what oldhub said, so I translated it. Here is the translation into English, by Google Translate. I certainly understand what he is saying. Come back to us, JJ.

It was a surprise to me
I didn't know what was going on. Politics and Religion always cause problems!!!

That is why, in general, I don't get involved with those things or take sides.

Sides
Oh, I definitely take sides. I just have no idea who or what any of this was about.

Triton
BearZ wishes to restart both Triton (LGBT welcome) and the Captain’s Club.

While I’m perfectly content he rebuilds his team, being unceremoniously dumped from the club chafes like road rash from a motorcycle spill.

Politics and Religion
A person is free to practice their religion however they see fit.

Politics, however, affects us all.
