| OFFers, | |
| I wanted to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all those that | |
| extended a warm welcome to Southbucks (my father in law) the | |
| last week, as well as making allowances for my necessary split | |
| setup (Southbucks on my xbox one so he could listen to the party | |
| chat, and me on my 360 only vicariously listening in on the | |
| constant banter). I think he was really understanding why i | |
| enjoy the platooning within clan so much. In particular, I | |
| wanted to bring special attention to Sciberius who platooned | |
| with us for long sessions into the early hours of a few days. | |
| His knowledge, recommendations and patience were frankly | |
| outstanding. | |
| While i was encouraging Southbucks to speak up more frequently | |
| in chat, i think it will become more natural for him with | |
| increased use/comfort. He is new to WoT, was fiquring out | |
| controls, hating being 2 tiers down, map nuances, working hard | |
| on tier Vs, and learning the joys of being an potential OFFer | |
| all at once. I think he did pretty well for a 70/71 year old | |
| codger (did i say that out loud?) only 10 days into the game. | |
| He has a xbox one at his home in northwest GA, and will be going | |
| to xbox live gold very soon. If any of you feel so inclined, | |
| please add him to your friends lists. I'd greatly appreciate it, | |
| and he will too. He'll likely end up playing as.much or more | |
| than me, and he's a retired night owl to boot. | |
| To recruitment officers that might read this post, he'd like to | |
| join our ranks, and asked Oxy as such over the chat. Alas, I'm | |
| fairly certain that he's not going to use our website/forums | |
| just to retain membership (many of the even older generation | |
| can't/won't be bother with these sort of things, or would be | |
| rather lost) Would it be possible to allow him clan entry w/o | |
| requiring him to use our website? | |
| Again, TANKS! | |
| Mr Fishie | |

| I am not able to platoon a whole lot, but maybe he will be | |
| online sometime when I am able to platoon. I will add him. | |

| Fishie, nice to see that you and your FIL had a good time! Tell | |
| him to take his time with his grinds - often times, you will | |
| find hidden gems within a line that hit a cord with an | |
| individual's play style/preference, and he will want to keep | |
| them. | |

| :thankyou: Thanks, I had a blast and enjoyed every minute of | |
| it. It must really say something to the fun I had with y'all, | |
| especially since I didn't fall asleep on yuns. :snowball: | |
| Seriously though, what little knowledge I was able to pass on | |
| came from tanking with this crazy bunch who had the time and | |
| patience to teach an old jarhead new tricks. | |
| :thankyou: :old: | |
