Just wanted to drop by, and say howdy, and I am glad to have found this site, and the NEW "old" games.
To get one thing done right off the bat, a big shout out to Armada for his assistance. I was having difficulties registering, because the confirmation emails were not getting through on Yahoo mail for some reason, and I did not want to start trying to change email addresses, at least without someone here knowing I was not a spammer, or someone else with nefarious intent. So I contacted a couple of people here, and Armada came through, thanks Armada.
The general info. I am a 56 year old, and have been married 35 years come November. I am father to 5 daughters and 1 son, and also grand-father to .... 7, 8, 9, ,,,,, Awww, who the hell can keep up.
I have spent a little less than half of my life serving my country, my first 14 as an Army brat, and then 12 in the USA.
Pertinent to here, I did quite a bit of sailing as a youth and into my teens. Almost entirely on smaller craft, less than 20 feet, and primarily on a 16' Hobie Cat, and I spent many many days on blue summer waters (fresh water) sailing. But that was MANY years ago. I do still know the difference between a jib, a spinnaker, etc ...
I have had PotC sitting on the shelf for years, never really got into it. Then the other day, I finished Assassin's Creed 3, and realized that the naval battles were my favorite part of the game. I am not buying AC4 yet, too high priced for me, will wait till it goes on a big sale somewhere, anyway, I started looking for something that would give me the naval gaming experiences I am now craving.
Then I remembered that I had a couple of older sailing games, and wondered if there were any updates, then I found this site ....... and I am impressed with all that you modders have done with PotC, not to mention the new games in the mix.
So here I am, able and willing to do what I can to assist around here. I am computer literate, been dual booting Windows and Linux since the mid90s, back when you had to configure and MAKE the XWindows desktop.
I am not a programmer, but have some experience with scripting. And am willing to learn. Oh, and I have tons of time on my hands, as I am retired, so if I can help, let me know, even if I have to learn again how to do something ,,,
well this is long enough, glad to meet all of you, and I am sure you will be seeing me around .....
