    Default Ding, Ding, Ding! Five Years! Drinks!

    Thanks to Eric for the nudge. I just realized I past the five year mark last week.

    Thanks for all the camaraderie, inspiration and support over the years. This is an awesome place, made so by the members.

    Well, the Forum may have to consider Decade medals, as I have now reached the top of the current ladder with the Five Year medal.

    Very soon, 1st July 2019, we will be doing the 10th Anniversary for the Forum, will we not?

    PS: Ooops. I have a tenth anniversary medal, from March 2014. So, there are already people with 10 years on the Forum!

    It would be pretty impossible to overestimate the value of your daily contribution to the site and the Community, Mike.
    I am sending a BIG THANK YOU on behalf of my group, that could play many new interesting WoG games with miniatures you had created cards for.
    Just to show the few:

    Well done Mike and Flash. You bring so much to the game and help keep this forum alive and moving in a forward, or should that be in an up (?), direction.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    We are in the same boat, I suppose. I missed my sixth anniversary in may too.
    But who we are, confronted with Mike. He is a Giant.
    ...Hey, I see he has not a special nickname/position...like some of us do. He is definitely not a Happy Jammer or Boom Boom , but what if we start an opinion pool on how to honour Mike with a special nick due to his 5 years of service?

    Well played, Mike! As has been said above, your contributions to the site are manifest, and this place would be much less enjoyable were you absent.

    Here's to the last five years, as well as to the the next

    All the best,
    Matt

    Missed my seventh but as Mike said maybe we should be looking at longer service gongs like the decade !
    As to Mike not having a nickname and he being a keen card master maybe we should call him "The Dealer" or similar ?!

    Good idea, Mike. We'll work on that one. The 10th Anniversary Medal is for the anniversary of the game.

    Eric, tell me, who should be the best person for some work? I mean...stars on Prague Con Medals or non-com ranks? I want to say: Mike is a great artist (honestly!), but most of work here on the site is Sue's.

    Sue does much of the artwork for medals. I and others help her with designs, but she does all the technical work. It is an enjoyable process.
