Now to set the scene I only have one AGEod game and thats AACW because I only like full campaign games (AGEod for whatever reason were plain daft in releasing NCP without a full campaign mode)
. In addition both my grandmother and my mother used to say 'boy you would try the patience of a saint'. To make matters worse I'm now long in the tooth and set in my ways but refusing to grow up.
So over half the time when I post on the AACW boards, which is quite often, I'm in grumpy old man mode. Then along comes Rafiki with a calming and encouraging word and I suddenly reflect and often realise how daft I've been (mind you there are very occasional times when I bite my tongue and mutter under my breath that he has'nt a clue)
What I'm trying to get at though is that no matter how good the developers and programmers of the AGEod games undoubtedly are the success of these boards is in large part due to the role of the Administrator. Not only does he defuse possible flash points but he advises, offers sensible answers, encourages, cajouls and generally keeps the boards ticking over in a most professional manner. Indeed for the majority of the player base I'm sure he's the first and last point of call in respect of customer service....and his efforts are first class and do AGEod nowt but credit.
So here's to you Rafiki, long may you look after these boards. I'm sure we will cross swords many times in the future and often I'll be uppitty and harsh but good on ya son....AGEod would find it hard to replace you.
Heck am I getting that wishy washy in me old age.
