Stella Polaris embarks on Poly

Rasbelin · September 18, 2002, 02:04

It's official now. Stella Polaris has today joined the group of games covered by the ACS Forums. The new Stella Polaris forum has a worthy place among other great titles such as Civilization, Colonization, FreeCiv, The Courts of Candle'Bre, etc. in the Alternative Civs/Other Games category.

First of all I want to say on the behalf of the development team...

Thank you for the new forum and the good co-operation!

The new forum also means we have 2 new mods on Poly. The Stella Polaris forum is guarded by me and Kiw... I mean Blake.

So now we have a Finn and a Kiwi as mods. I guess Blake might stop by here later, but he's so nocturnal as a ki...

Okay, he'll make pork char sui of me anyway thanks to my signature, so I'll drop it for now.

But there's other persons that are also worth mentioning; all of the FACDT and FACF members that are also active Apolytoners, and those aren't few as most FACDT/FACF members are active here. Below is compiled based on information from FACF and Poly. This list has been available elsewhere for about a week, but I included it now here as it's a community issue and it's related to the new forum. All the information is gathered from public sources.

Sidenote: the names in bold are ones who are active on Poly.

I want to welcome all new posters that are interested in the project to the new Stella Polaris forum of Poly. Feel free to discuss, but remember that Ming's banning rod can be used there too.

No, I didn't steal it, but he can moderate all groups, so watch out for the rod there too.

Patashu? Haven't I seen that name before? Here on Poly?

Rasbelin · September 18, 2002, 02:27

Yes, he's a registered member here. He left the project in May for some unknown reason. I'm not sure if it's the same Patashu here, but that was my conclusion.

Stella Polaris is an open source (GNU GPL) game title being developed by the SPDT that is always looking for new participants. More about the game can be found on the Stella Polaris forum of Poly. Welcome!

What does FACDT and FACF stand for?

Rasbelin · September 19, 2002, 04:29

See the brand new "Stella Polaris FAQ for Apolytoners" for all such questions.

But I'll answer it here.

Congrats, Rasbelin.
You are in good company with Blake.
He is a class act on the AC-Strategy forums IMHO.
