[QUOTE=Ekliges Lauern]Geography funnels folks to a handful of clubs. It certainly funnels newbees to Palace. Frankfurt is the international transportation hub of Germany. Yes, Dusseldorf and Munich are lesser hubs, but for many (myself included), Frankfurt is the most convenient entry point into Germany. You can exit Frankfurt customs and get to Palace, change, shower and be talking to nude cuties in under an hour. You don't need to worry about German as you can navigate Frankfurt public transport easily with no knowledge of German. It is likely to be at least 50% of newbees first port of call for that reason alone.
I actually suggest we ask newbees what is important to them and offer advise based on that. Be aware many non-German speakers are not comfortable driving on the autobahn and finding their way around Germany.
I don't see why. There is plenty written about the advantages and disadvantages of the various clubs.
And for some, a salt lick rather than a grain might be in order.
Rather than a disclaimer, if you could let us know in your posts which of your opinions are based on recent, first hand opinion, and which are based on second hand (other forums, someone told me, etc.) or outdated (e.g.: five years old), it would go a long way in preventing misunderstandings.
Quantity != quality.
Not sure why you feel the need to "plug" clubs. It distorts the value of any information if you have an interest in promotion. I prefer poster that just report their perceptions. You may disagree, but at least there motives are honest (sharing information).
Why?
If you stick to what you know, rather than trying to insert yourself into every conversation, your contributions to the board would be more valuable.[/QUOTE]
Dude,
I've given you the "ignore" option several times but apparently you can't stop reading what I write. This makes no sense at all.
It looks to me like you are looking for my approval. What for? Why should you care what I think? I would go into an amateur psychologist mode at this point but I won't.
This adversarial thing is a waste of time.
And apparently you've gone to the George W. Bush School of Diplomacy and taken up the motto: "If you aren't with me, you are against me." Leave folks alone who are simply expressing opinions which don't coincide with yours.
I have been extremely meticulous in detailing which reports I've read elsewhere, which experiences are directly mine. When I've translated material I've noted who wrote it, where it came from and then I do my thing. I've never claimed to be the origin of such material.
My credentials are well established and my points of view are clear. The distilled version of all of this experience I've boiled down for folks several times. There is no need to repeat them here.
Visiting clubs I've put on a list of 'no-go" clubs doesn't make sense. What purpose would that serve? I am not disparaging clubs and then sneaking into them.
Will I go back to the Hessen clubs one day? Yes. It would take a special set of circumstances for me to do that but it is not unthinkable.
I've had negative impressions of clubs before and changed my mind about them: Wildenrath and Heavensgate, z. B.
If you've been at this long enough you can enter a club, sniff the air and say a) definitely will be back, b) not coming back ever, c) may have just been a bad day but will return to check it out again.
You've done this yourself and then declared: "Bernds sucks! Babylon sucks!"
Go do your own thing and I'll do mine.
Yes, I do prefer quality to quantity, hence my preference for certain clubs over the mainstream clubs visited here.
