I am assuming you need to use the patched version to race with VSK Australia because you exclusively use the patched version. Is this correct?
If so, what are the other requirements if any?
Please tell us.

How can you support Nadeo when you don't support every person in Nadeo's customer base? Exclusively using the patched version with which nobody is sure will survive leaves behind thousands of people who don't want or can't have the patched version for many reasons. Every person who has purchased any one of the versions of VSK has supported Nadeo. In effect what you are doing is streamlining your own community by implying anybody who sails with your club needs to install the patch. I would imagine that brings up controversy within your own walls and doing so would be political suicide. Notice Nadeo's stance on this issue. They have encouraged people to stay with the older version if they wish. If they didn't I believe it would have been economic suicide. After all you can't force anybody to do anything. If you try to force or try to control something it usually comes back to bight you in the arse. In this case I think you are biting the hand that feeds you with your delusional and selfrighteous thoughts of supporting Nadeo. What you are doing is supporting Nadeo from a unilateral point of view which certainly doesn't go over well with the entire VSK community.
Putting all personal issues aside, the Free World Yacht Club as a whole supports Nadeo as well as the entire VSK community from a non-bias or multilateral standpoint.

Actually no, some people got it patched before the RC officially supported it and had to roll back until it was official supported by the club, there is no controversy within VSK-AUS we're all very supportive of Nadeos actions, (while I reserve the right to disagree for now and wait and see what Nadeo does with the game in between now and a year from now. ).

OK so be it. The last post was directed at VYS but can be applied to almost any VSK club. I can't speak for those clubs but I'm sure there are some people within them that are not in favor of exclusively using the patched version. Common sense and intuition tells me that. Even though both scenarios could be correct your still missing my point. To be fully supportive of Nadeo and to keep the interests of the VSK community in the forefront, no club should have a unilateral approach to supporting Nadeo. Nadeo's well being as well as the community's well being go hand in hand. If you lose members because of that kind of approach, in the end they will disassociate themselves with Nadeo.
You said an interesting statement in your last post. You said people got the patch and then had to roll back until the club officially supported it. Was it voted on by all the members or was it done by the will of the core membership? I would think it was the core membership or administration that took it upon themselves and decided for everybody.

Trev is welcome to post anything he likes but he does not speak officially on behalf of VYS in the context of this forum. Yes VYS use the patch because everyone wanted to but VYS being a small, non-ambitious club with no visions of grandeur, would probably like to stay completely neutral on the subject of this thread |

Neutral? Then why open your trap and post here? Non-ambitious and no visions of grandeur? Why not? What would be wrong with that? Why even change a thing over at the VYS? It is understandable if everyone there wanted to but why come out and say the club is non-ambitious and not grandiose? Even though I think your statement is accurate as far as the VYS, are you implying that the FWYC has grandiose ideology? I can assure you we are not grandiose. Maybe just a bit beyond your scope of intellect. Ideology should not be confused with "idiology" which is completely different but valid in how I look at you and the VYS. In case you have to look that word up, I'll save you the trouble and explain that it is the study of idiots. 
Typical hogwash as usual from the VYS front. Very non-ambitious of the VYS to unilateraly support Nadeo. Thanks for the entertainment!

Your last reply Yankee, makes it seem like if you don't agree with the 'totally political' views of the FWYC then you are idiots.............
I think I have made the right decision with the clubs I have joined.....
I wish you well..

Nah............. You just don't know the history between myself and some people at the VYS as well as other clubs.
Even though I'm a member of the FWYC I still am entitled to my own opinion. Should I make that clearer to you and post a disclaimer in my signature stating, "the opinions in this post do not represent the complete view of the FWYC", or something like that? Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. The FWYC on the other hand doesn't have an opinion on outside issues. Keep reading the FWYC traditions. Someday you might figure it all out. 
Thanks for your wishes and I'll save a seat for you at the FWYC in case you decide to change your mind!

That has been true with every update since VSK3. Some people don't want to change, ever, while other people are happy to buy a new version every year.
No matter when an update comes out they all fracture the community to some extent; and that is true for every game out there (I wonder how the EA Sports NBA 2005 crowd is making out at the moment...). It is up to every club to decide for themselves when the transition to the new version will fracture their club the least.
I don't speak for any club that I belong to, but they all made the switch to the updated version the moment it came out. I'll decide in a year from now if I want to keep using the patched version, but until then I see no need to deny myself the free update.
+1 for Nadeo

+1 for Virtual-Winds, we switched as soon as the patch came out. WD to Nadeo, and thanks for supporting the game and providing a free upgrade for one year.

To correct an incorrect statement that could have been misunderstood as a "position" (which it clearly was).

Because like you, I can say whatever the hell I like.
| Very Crankie Yankee wrote: | | are you implying that the FWYC has grandiose ideology? |
Why would I do that? This thread has nothing to do with FWYC. I have never voiced any opinions about that club and have no intentions to do so. Clubs are free to do what they want !
