 I can hardly type these days, so many typos, but we shall see how we go... Firstly, due my cancers, you SHOULD all know by now that I haven't got long to live. A matter of weeks, maybe. It had been my intention to hand over the Clan to Dibbikdog TODAY, but given a few other factors, this will nit now happen till later in the week, or, to put a nail on the day, lets make it ... 00 hours, 00 minutes and 01 seconds on the 1st January, 2021! The logic behind this is so the Doggy takes over without the stink of 2020 affecting him . But why the delay? I have a few very good ideas I want to thrash out before I leave, but also to teach Dibbikdog and Zzatt (both co-commanders) on how ideas are expanded without a sense of panic in a calm and collected way. I'm also finding it hard to let go if my baby... 😢

The Perfect Clan!

 Its sad to see a few people spoil a clan for everyone. I seriously do not think I am alone in thinking this. Commanders (when its a Commander (with no "s") then its the "owner" of the clan, but with an "s" as in Commanders, that includes Co-Commanders. "My perfect clan would not be those fighting clan battles, it would be a clan of talkers." We have 50 spots in our clan right now, and only about 43 of those are occupied by humans. Out of those, nine or ten may chat in the clan chat on a regular basis. The vast majority NEVER even once typed anything into chat, not even a "hello". That got me to thinking about the whole concept of a clan, sure, we try to act like a clan, but that is tired thinking, it damages a clan. People join a clan and then milk it for whatever its worth. Eventually, they get dumped for various reasons, all they do is apply to join another clan. Thinking more about it, now, my perfect clan would not be those fightin

Cancer Update

 This was posted on the WoWs forum by me, on December 1st, adapted for this blog (today)          ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Yes, its been a long time since I updated you on the cancer... read on why I'm doing it now. Its not like the cancer has been sleeping, it never sleeps. A lot has happened, from the bone cancer making me feel like many bones were on fire, to my finding out that the bone cancer is affecting muscle and fat on those bones, whats LEFT of the muscle and body fat that is, I lost 2 kilos in one day because of that wastage. Worse, as far as I am concerned... is there is so little spare muscle and fat that my feet constantly feel cold... last night, I got NO SLEEP at all... so (works it out) I have been awake for well over 36 hours. The cold feet were such a distraction in keeping me awake even take far more sleeping tablets than I

How To: Replays...

Image
 With the update today, SOME of this info doesn't apply but you will figure it out! Firstly, go to your WoWs game folder.... Look for a folder called REPLAYS ... go into that folder. The top file is usually the last game you played, anyhow, its the name of the ship, map name and date. Hold your mouse cursor on the file, right click, select COPY.... Go to your desktop, find a blank spot (not easy on my desktop) right click and select PASTE. If you double click n the desktop file, the replay should load.... (thanks to the update) but if not... it will ask you which file you want to use to open said replay.... just navigate to your game folder where WoWs  is kept and click on the main game file... it called something like WoWs-NA.EXE or something like that, select "use this file to always open these files in future" You are good to go, BUT.... replays are version specific, meaning a game played in the last version of the update will NOT WORK with the current version.... ** T
