Ecrivian?

:?

Have I just been insulted? Anyone? I have no idea who Ecrivian is supposed to be. Someone explain please.

August 2001 I think I started. I was in CoN when it officially started on 1st September 2001.

I thought Han might remember me considering he was 'so impressed' here :P :wink: (Last post of thread)

Ecrivian started about the same time as me as well. Was an active member of the community but never won a single VP (I think).

Was a popular guy though, I liked him anyway :)

Well in that case, providing of course kor liked him too, I will let him off :P

ROFL @ Hannibal. I know its 6 years past but that is funny.

I'd say 'these forums' rather than 'the forums' as I remember we had different forums earlier. :)

I knew Nemesis is a vet and I only called him a Duel newbie. :)

er... yeah, cheers Hannibal. PS, check the Kaohalla, I have got 8.5 VPs already and have played in a WOK 5 Champs game. Not bad for a Newbie :mrgreen: :wink:
Heck, I don't think I've done anything wrong here, but I'll apologise anyway!

I assumed Nemesis was a new player to WOK, and if you read the posts, I think you'll find that my heart was in the right place giving the "new"guy a second chance at Turn 2. How was I supposed to know he was a vet from times of yore? No, I don't study start-dates. I just come across a "new" contributor on the boards. Sure, the name "Nemesis" rang some kind of bell, but there is a "Nemesis" player-name on every site I ever played on - it's a great name to choose. No, I never overlapped with our Nemesis. If Nemesis had maybe just posted about his RETURN on the thread I set up for such "Old players dropping by ....", then that would have maybe been kinder to all those who are newer than 2004? And saved me wasting my breath? :wink: I see he DID post there, but just saying welcome to some other returner - which a newbie could have written to join in on welcoming the player back.

In that case, obviously you stand a good chance. My comments were for a newbie. Sorry I wasted your time. And mine. Good luck.

And no, I never remembered it from the thread you mention:

Hey Korexus. I was wondering about the link that used to exist to one of my games that Nemesis and Nestalawe won and did a fine write up on. at one time there was a link to that on this site I know the pages are still there and if anyone remembers what the address was to my site there is probably still a link to it there somewhere. I have no clue if it had and of my hard thought out commentary.

Yes. There's a permanent link to it in the "New Visitors Look Here" that I wrote as an explanation of how the game plays. I was so impressed I built it in as a link, as well as quoting from it. I remember asking you to keep it alive in your store on Angelfire, and you kindly agreed. Thanks.


I was impressed by Nestalawe's write-up. No memory of ewho he was playing against. Note that mention of you is buried in UD's post, not a mention that I made. So no, I didn't remember you.

Oh well, I'll still try to help new players.

Turn By Turn Summary By Nestalawe' AND Nemesis - Circle Of Nine

:D

Duke sent me an email telling me Kaomaris was on the way back to full health and that if I was going to return to post in this thread. Thus, I never posted in the 'Old players just dropping by ... and saying hello' thread.

So I blame Duke, he is used to that anyway. :wink:

In that case, thanks to Nestalawe AND YOU for that write-up of a real game; it's what drew me into WOK in the first place, because I could see how it played. Thanks.

I hope I made your write-up live on, by incorporating it into "New players look here", so that it's done even more good. If it's still there as a link.

Anyway, about your chances versus trewqh ..... :wink:

That's nice to hear. Just looking at the game we had me, Nestalawe, Tomb Raider, Bryk, Ecrivian, Allister and Skarn all in that beginner game!
