	most sincere thoughts Suffering from ads?

to you buddy. I remember when...with delight...you would disagree with my early game high mineral SMAC strats and do so in a way as to make me smile.

So seldom have I better enjoyed being called an idiot but that just goes to highlight your irrepressibly postive attitude. And your energy is just amazing.

I fondly remember the SMAC game we played as partners as one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences, heck, just one of the most enjoyable collaborative experiences I have ever had. I regret we were unable to finish it...we would have surely won. More importantly, it would have been fun.

You have blessed us all with enjoyment Vel. Get well, and when you do, I'd like to drag my tired old butt down for a visit to finally meet a good friend, a visit long overdue and at this point, much anticipated.

You've one backwoods Baptist praying for you Vel, don't know how much good it'll do, but rest assured any lack of results will not reflect a lack of effort, hope or faith.

See you later pal,

quote: Originally posted by CapTVK I will add it to the list. But at the moment it is getting late. So here's my plan: Time is an issue. Vel's condition seems to be serious so it is important we do this right now! We still need to send the collage to Vel. Anyone who hasn't posted yet, please do. I'll include your avatars tomorrow morning. The collage needs to be printed. Mailing it from Europe would take too long. Someone in the US has to mail it to Vel.

Actually, while I don't have access to a good printer I might be about to figure something out. If someone with close access to Vel will get me the appropriate info I'll just drive down there (assuming he is in a hospital near Columbia) and visit him. I don't have anything I have to do in the morning and I can make that drive in about 3 hours. If anyone thinks this is a good idea and can give me the info as to where and when to visit please PM me. I'll check tonight when I get back.

Here, it might be better if you use my Iwo Jima one. I had changed it to a purple Candle'Bre to show support for Vel.

PS- It would replace the CB Shield in the upper left corner.

Awsome work on the collage CapTVK. I hope it helps Chris realise he has many people who have him in their prayers.

It's in, everyone is in right now but I am running out of space. Some of you might have to search a bit to find it.

Don't worry, you're on seperate layers. Your avatar is quite safe for now (until I merge them of course).

well the one without the poly logo is better, just because no-ones avatar is obscured, and i'm sure he would know it came from here - its even got Mings mug on it - doesn't get much more poly approved than that .
The one above the poly logo one is awesome, great work Cap TVK

Thanks, the first one has my personal preference.

The 2nd one with the logo is meant as an extra. I thought "what if we make our own card? With a picture on front and on the inside?" So I went all out and made a sort complementary collage for it. It doesn't have to be used.

Now that we have the collage. It's time to move to phase 2. Print it and get it to Vel in time. Capt Dizle, can you help?

Did you just alter your avatar? I could have sworn you had a pic of Che as your avatar earlier.

Tell him to get his ass outa bed. I'm still waiting for my 'free version' of CB. I figure that I deserve one after my contributions to the combat design (theory).

Get well, Vel. This is horrible news.

I've been following your post in the SMAC, Civ3, Paradox and Candlebre fori. I think few people have contributed to Apolyton, the way you have done.

You're definately included in my prayers.

Cap: You're welcome to include my avatar in the collage, if it can fit in.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. It means a lot to all of us that so many people are pulling for Chris and hoping he gets better.

I do not know when, but sometime this weekend, he is supposed to be moved to a small private hospital that will be closer to us. His condition has been improving, and he was smiling from ear to ear when I printed and read all of this tohim.

Capt Dizle, when I tolk Chris about your offer to drive down this way, he asked me to ask you not to. I do not think he wants anyone to see him in his current condition, and he said:

"Let's wait a bit, and we'll knock a few back and celebrate with a cookout!"

I think he is looking forward to a big steak already.

jThank you again to everyone. It is overwhelming.

That's how I felt too when going to hospital: only mum, dad and girlfriend, no-one else.

He is not out of the weeds yet, but he is getting better. Last night he was joking around a little bit, and that was good to see again. He said "I'm not done yet!" and gave me a thumbs up sign.

And please mail the collage. I will deliver it personally, and I know he will love it!
