Title: A Changing of the Guard - Scenario Corps News
Post by: Vermillion on February 22, 2001, 08:29:00 AM
It is with great sadness, that effectively immediately I must resign both as the Senior CM of the Scenario Corps, and my position within the Corps itself.

This is not a hasty decision, and is something I have considered for the past month or two.  There are many contributing factors ranging from:  general job burnout (wow I have been doing this for almost 15 months now? :eek (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) and the feeling that recently I'm not doing as good a job leading the Scenario Corps as I should be doing;  the fact that my personal life is in a shambles lately; My test for my Professional Engineering Licensing  is rapidly approaching and I need to be studying and focused on that issue; and several others to just name a few. I just need to put the emphasis on real life for a while.

I'll still be up and flying in the Main once in a while, and don't be suprised if I pop up in some of the events myself.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

banana will be moving into the CO position of the Scenario Corps, and Daddog will take over the XO position. Both have my full confidence, since I know they will continue the excellent job they have done to date. Good Luck Guys!

I would like to thank HTC for giving me the opportunity to setup and run the Scenario Corps.  It has been quite an adventure.  Even with its ups and downs, I have enjoyed  building such an organization from the ground up and set it upon a path of future success.   I had a lot of scenario experience coming in, but I never imagined that the job of running the organization would take so much, but give back so much as well.  

I would like to thank Pyro for giving me this opportunity and to also pass on my thanks to the rest of HTC for the help they have given me and the rest of the Scenario Corp during my tenure. HiTech, for answering technical questions, and adding improvements to the code that assisted us in doing our job; Superfly and Natedog for help with terrains, and the terrain editor; Ronni for all her help on scoring and webpage improvements; And Yankee... who I never really had much to do with, but I didn't want to leave her out ;-)

I am just happy that I got the Corps thru its first big Scenario, my  "Afrika Corps" creation, with such a success. It couldn't have went any better.  But I never realized how much it would take out of me, along the way.

It was a hell of a good run, and I hope to see you all at the con.

GoodBye.... Adieu.... And thanks for all the fish  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Verm, you have done a great job!

I know a LOT of people for whom Afrika Korps was the highlight of their experiences with AH.

Get your s___ together, pass your PE, , and keep flying with us.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Verm,

Thanks so much for starting this group and allowing me the chance to start some weekly events.  As I said before you have built the foundation we are now working on and it is my hopes we will surpass everyone’s expectations for historical events.  

banana will do a fine job as the head CM and has my full support.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

With the fleet from 1.5, the ground vehicles, and the host of new planes in the coming months we will be hard pressed “not” to please the players who are looking for a historical flavor.  I look forward to seeing you in some of our events.

<S> Verm. In a road marked by milestones, AK is a prominent one. For me, there is before and after AK in AH. Thnks for that astounding piece of fine and hard work.

Good Luck with your tests, and hope to see you in the MA.

S! Verm,

 You were a great leader and the CM group will miss you I'm sure.  You've done alot to help bring in to existance my favorite part of ww2 online combat, senarios.  For this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Those things are a big stress releaver for me when I have time to fly in them.  Thanks for all you done!!!

Nice job Verm.  Afrika Korps was absolutely great.  It's the only time in AH that I haven't thought, Jeez if our fathers and grandfathers had fought the war like this we would all be speaking German.  It was well planned, controlled and it provided a truly enjoyable total immersion experience.  Thank you.

So what is the current status of AH scenarios? Is there one in the works?

Is there any prospect of an historical arena?

#2) No, not anytime soon.
