And I get this comment from the man who called me a god earlier this
week.

We see the diversity of the group that has attended the GZG East Coast
Conventions and the level of sportsmanship and competitiveness that is
represented there.

Erik Kochte had brought his WH40K stuff with him at the last convention
and fully intended to play with them if the GZG gamers were an obnoxious
bunch of pinheads.  (His GW stuff stayed in their boxes, with the
exception
of the figures that entered the miniatures contest.)

Don't mess with JP when he asks for identification.  He's been known to 
fire a DFFG at APCs carrying Company lawyers.

Mike Sarno comes to a convention knowing no one and no rules to any of
the
games and has a blast.	He's already signed up to run two events next
year.

Jim Bell is quite the competitor when he's after heads during the French
Revolution game Guillotine.  It was quite satifying for his gaming group
when
Jim and I mutually destroyed each other's battleships in a head-on pass.

Stuart Murray really doesn't want to be Shogun.

I've had some very satisfying gaming memories after I begun playing Full
Thrust,
Dirtside, and Star Grunt.  As Jon (GZG) says, Play the game, not the
rules.
