The Young Gun - Revealed

Alright guys,
Here is a long story, somewhat condensed, and I will try to tell it as I remember it.
A long lost brother came back, in April 2011, to the forum after an absense of some time. A question was posed by said brother, "Who is My Steed?", that's right Mr. Alex Williams, the prodigal Unibomber, has come back to Cigar.com.
In answer to his question, the vocal majority pointed fingers at RCY and myself. I was fine with it as I never bombed for recognition; it was always for my fun and enjoyment.
Shortly after I get a PM from a brother stationed in Germany wanting to know if I could help him on a little project; code name BOMB ALEX WILLIAMS. Who am I to say no to a little bombing? Of course, I wanted to add a little more to the game in honor of the Unibomber so I tried to start a Vets vs. Noob "conflict", didn't work out too well but just good enough to give me an idea.
The Young Gun was born by a veteran and a "noob". When I discussed this with Rick, I pretty much let him know that you guys are a smart little bunch and he would be pegged pretty quickly as TYG. The other thing I figured is that I wouldn't be found out.
We then proceeded to bomb the living daylights out of Alex Williams after getting his NEW, UNTOUCHABLE address from a very good friend of mine who will remain anonymous. I am sure you all remember the bomb..........if not, maybe someone can post a link to it.
After a few more bombs people PMd TYG wanting to be part of the devastation, skweekz, so I gave him the ultimate test, the Sniper. Nice hit Mike, but I knew you would be doomed from the start, however, if you did succeed, I did have big plans for you.
After a lull in the "game" granneja, Jesse, came along new to the boards so I knew he could have free reign in sending packages from his place and no one would know from who or where they were coming from. Thanks so much Jesse for jump starting TYG to the next level.
After some fun, it has to come to an end. Life has gotten very busy for me and I just didn't have the time to do it much over the next few months and didn't want it to fade away, I felt you guys should know "the identity".
I don't want "retribution" or anything like that, I just wanted to let everyone here have a little fun as it seemed like the boards at times were getting a little intense.
If you really feel the need to get retribution, please make a donation to the Troops via JSnake in care of The Young Gun, as those are the guys and gals that truly deserve any and all recognition for all they do.
In short, RCY Cigars and I, Bandyt09, have always been The Young Gun and behind the game the whole time. I do thank everyone that helped and everyone that got hit. You all made it very fun and way better than I had ever expected.

Good one fellas, good one!!!
Now who in the hell is The Joker and The Whale?
The gig is up, the gig is up, lol.
Well, now you all know the truth. But first, let me answer some questions. Why would I want to bomb Alex Williams? Bandyt09 will vouch for me on this and others that were in the forum during that time. It wasn't to try and be top dog or in this case, top bomber. Alex, as delicate as I can put this. Was having a little occupied with life crisis and I wanted to cheer him up a little. The icing on the cake would be that he would know it was from us. But the forum would think it was TYG. How did he bomb the best of the best.
Yes, Zeebra, lcpleel, The Kid, BigT06 and James40 all confronted me about it. I kept my innocense by saying the very first package came out of Cali, when I was in Germany. How could I be part of that? I continued to bomb individuals myself to throw you of my trail. But, these guys did spot check me. I have to give a big I'm Sorry to Mike(MTuccelli). Because he really wanted to get TYG. And we talk almost everyday.
I'm really hoping you guys don't punch us around. But if you feel the need too. Take it out on Jsnake's mailbox by donating for The Troops. Trust me, those guys will be very happy and they are more deserving of it. Lakota72, DopeyFerree, DustoffDan and myself along with about 7others that are not in the forum. All were a part of a Troops Bombing that Jsnake and the guys in the forum put together. That's why we are here and here to stay. CCOM forum members are unmatched in my opinion. There are some other good forums out there. That may be just as good. But this is home for me.
Lastly, I don't bomb people just because I can. Anyone can do that. If you talk to me through PM's. And I'm not talking once or twice. I mean you really want to get to know a person. Then yes, you just put a target on your back. Meaning, I'm going to send you a nice friendly package of stuff that you either like or want to try. If I have it. Everything I send out, comes out of my cabinet or coolidor. I messed up by taking that picture and got PM's from a few that busted me for having the cabinet and coolidor. Anyway, I also bomb when we know someone has hit a rough patch. You may see regulars from JJ, MTuccelli, Jcizzle when he's on here and I would love to say lclpleel, lol. But that's just because we always communicate and try sharing some old and new stuff. Communication is the key. Oh and every now and then I will get someone for talking smack on one of my threads. Not all the time, but sometimes, PsychoSJG, lol.
Your Mr.Professional, you should have known you were going to be a target. As for your post, I messed up on that. That was in the early stages. We were trying to figure out how we would do things back then. Get your blog going Dennis, we miss you driving those nice cars and trucks...
Your like my hero, I can't drive nice cars like that every day. I sent you cigars out of respect and being your biggest Fan. You can't do that to your Fans. That's unheard of
