I would like to say that I follow this thread as if it were the "SE4 Sports Page" and I want you all to know that I think the sportsmanship shown repeatedly by all of you in the K.O.T.H. league is remarkable. I have played computer games on-line since the early '80s and I can't think of a more mature group who truly play to have fun without any of the childish antics seen elsewhere. Any disagreements here are certainly handled in an adult manner and I salute you all!

I have been wargaming for 20 years, mostly face-to-face strategy games or campaigns built on tactical/operational games where you see definite continuity between scenarios. Generally, the level of sportsmanship and courtesy was very high. Any one that has ever played to the finish Third Reich, World in Flames, one of Columbia’s block games, or a Star Fleet Battles campaign understands the enormous time commitment and the enormous complexity of these games. They require dedication, camaraderie, tolerance, and a sense of humor, often at one’s own expense.

SEIV PBW is my first venture into Online gaming. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that an Online game can exhibit that same sense of community, in the best sense of the word. I am not sure if this type of game attracts certain types of players or simply requires certain types of players to function, probably a little of both.
