How many teams have you been a member?
In 11 years on Gameknot I have been on two teams: Kings of the Castle (10 years) and my first
team Captains Crew which I was booted from.

Is there anyone here that has been on just one team for at least three years?

The Barmy Army
Been an active and dedicated member for the Barmy Army 5 years and counting! Milestones playing for this great team includes becoming Head Honcho last year 2019 after my former skipper decided to retire and pass the torch onto me and also I played over 1500+ team games.

I’m sure there skippers are more that’s been longer on one team more than I have but happy to share  .

Started with Schachmatt back in 2007, this team disbanded so joined Team Oregon State as co captain, left when original captain quit and formed my own team Never Look Back in 2012 and still going strong.

2 teams
I was with Never Look Back when I was offered a co-captainship. I took the opportunity. I was approached by knightemplar~1 and I felt that there were better opportunities on the Knight Templars. I was promoted captain in Nov 2016 and have Never Looked Back

Mountain Men
I joined GK in order to join the Mountain Men. Wasn't long before I became a co-captain of that team, and some years back became the captain.

I've been part of two. I joined Gameknot by a friend's request and soon got interested in captain, which I started to do with the team my friend was on, TRITON. A misunderstanding on my part led me to start my own team, which had good success for a time...if only I knew back then what I know now, but sadly not and the team is gone. I came back to TRITON and have been captain for a few years, and I hope to stay captain for as long as possible

I've been on 2. I started on Kings of the Castle sometime around July of 2013, which you booted me from in January of 2014. I then decided to join Yeshua's Army and have been either a co-captain or the captain of it since then. I was promoted to co-captain almost right away, as they were looking for one when I joined.

BTW, mikemate, I know that you removing me from your team had nothing to do with me, but for another reason which I will not say here. You know I respect you greatly!

@ Tim
As I respect you, and I have apologized,

You and I have a similar path, both booted from our initial team and now Captains of respectable
teams.   Wish you were still on Kings of the Castle.

I was "pressed ganged " by "Dem Pirates" in 2014 by Capt. Jack who new me from elsewhere..... he plied me with rum and the rest is history ... upto then I'd successfully avoided Teams for 7 years on this site... haha !

Great days playing Teams like "The Enforcers" and "Dexy's Midnight Runners" (what a cool name .. ) amongst others

I'm now on my 4th Team ... mainly due to the-jim and "helping " Captains who for whatever reason asked

from him please let me know.

Four teams:
Was with Alchemy (2016-2020), then Mountain Men (2021), then Spartacus (2022-2023), then Triton.

He was co-captain for us (Mountain Men) and is for Triton. I think for Alchemy too.
