Talkin' with Tex
Great googleyboogley has this week flown by fast!! The only thing missing from the Internet Soap Opera WWIIOL is a love triangle between the country club tennis pro, the game server, and an ISP . . . Thankfully we've not received a .report on THAT!!
Campaign Update - #184
As of this writing on my Underwood Model 5 typewriter, the map currently rests at 23% Allies & 77% Axis (Day 26). The Axis rapid push westward has slowed as some very tough and dedicated Allied warriors have dug in with the recent reinforcements from the Americans as Tier 3 entered the campaign. Such sharp clashes bring forth strong emotions as each side competes. You know you are playing WWIIOL right when you get so fired up after being killed that you are tempted to spike your headset (I said TEMPTED!) and you know the needle is deep into you as you drive to work and you duck lower behind the steering wheel as you see a low flying aircraft instantly thinking that it's a Stuka or DB-7. The pure joy, anger, and fatigue of our game.
Hang in there, rally your friends, and enjoy the "Best Virtual Bar - 20 years running"!

Return of The Mailbag
The Community Management Team is exploring different ways for US to hear from YOU. We want it to be easy and efficient for our gamers to provide feedback or ask questions through the Forums, Social Media, and Discord. There will be future updates on this important topic. NOTE - The Mailbag is a great portal to discuss Community Topics but it is NOT a system designed to address, replace or augment the .report or .bug feature.
How to be Successful in WWIIOL
Our game is a difficult game to learn and master; however, at present and over the years some great content has been developed to show you how to be more effective in the game world AND to showcase how to enjoy yourself, too. Check out these links!
Your CRS Team is hard at work and as a recent new member to the team shared, "I had no idea so much was going on". We cannot always show what is being developed but I will strive as the Community Manager to share as much as possible. The team is working toward a daunting multi-year goal which will have its own share of triumphs and disappointments as do all projects. Remember the distance we have covered together these past few years when previous development was technologically stagnant. I cannot share what I know but I believe in our course, I see the effort and progress being made but as the wise man once said "Rome wasn't built in a day".
I am honored to be a part of the Community Management Team (CMT) and I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield and if I show up on your kill list . . . I was looking at my map!!
!S,
