A warm welcome to our two new Members, marcusleus and gemfire!

Welcome!

And it's good to see two more members who don't cheat by studying the game too closely.

Hello marcusleus - we were both on an ill-fated GK team years ago. Glad to see you're still around.

if anyone wants to search, change the number at the end of the url (in LS's link), descending one at a time (1098, 1097, 1096, and so on), and you will find old closed and inactive clubs. some numbers will turn up nothing. but keep going...

change the url to include the forum (-f, apparently), and you might get some of the old discussion. Here's the forum for that first fiat lux, for example gameknot.com

<Ask gemfire about the Mad Hatter's Club. >

What has that to do with Fiat Lux III, or some of its predecessors?

Yes, ill fated GK teams of long ago.

oh, a few more changes than "-f" to get the forum.
have to change "chess" to "club," too.
(or just pull up any club forum and change the number).

not much left of that club's forum.
gameknot.com

coming up on the 10 year anniversary of Freddy's
original "Walking The Walk Club," where I first met
stal, archduke, and others. that was a good group.
don't know why some forums lose more data
than others after the club closes.

Welcome to pawntifex
Welcome to Fiat Lux. We hope for good posts and new initiatives.

pawntifex
wrote in the NG club, prior to applying for membership here:

<Just for fun I'm going to go apply to the typical clubs that do not accept different opinions.
I will report back.>

Our Moderators accepted pawntifex' application, because we are liberal and want to believe the best of all applicants for membership.

But, having now been made aware of the plan and background of this application (see also above)

gameknot.com

I have decided that we don't want a member, who has such a premade opinion of this Club.
I will leave the welcome post just to remind readers of the history of this decision, but I am excluding pawntifex from his brief membership.

I am sorry about that- I don't follow other clubs much. The only ones that I do are Club for General Discussion and the extension thereof- Gameknots Team Captains and followers , and some threads in the "THE TRAVELER'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN PILGRIMS".

Good..
Even in these clubs we have to do some social Distancing. Even wear Masks sometimes .These 'Viruses' are awful. They get into the bloodstream and wreck havoc on decency, compassion and, most vile of all,..... the Truth.
bobspringett

I confess that...
I was surprised to see Pawn accepted. His blatant trolling was one of the reasons I left NG.

It's not a matter of 'accepting different opinions'. Lots of different opinions are accepted in this club. The problem that Pawn doesn't respect other opinions, and I believe he doesn't even state his own honest opinion. He just says whatever he thinks will offend.

Good call, Stal.

A number of posts were reported by gemfire. I deleted three of them since it's impossible know what was or wasn't said in this other club and what the truth of the matter was. Hopefully no offence taken lord_shiva?
5imon
15-Jul-21, 04:20

p.s. I didn't delete the fourth reported post which looks entirely innocuous.

Gemfire reported the same post
Three time in rapid succession. I asked him not to. He withdrew from the club and put me on ignore!

Strange behavior
stalhandske
15-Jul-21, 05:19

I have looked at the large set of complaints by gemfire. None of them is valid under GK rules. I have already told him that a club member should first complain to the Founder or Moderators and not defecate in their own nest as he did. I also told him it was good he left, because had he not, I would have helped him in the process.
