I've found that it generally gets him to vote for DIA candidates

Update:

There are 29 players signed up so far. I have put the list on the first post of this thread, and will update as new names come forward. Some have indicated a willingness to participate, but do not have time or desire to be an official/leader on the team.

I am familiar - to the extent I can be - with all but HarryH. (2 posts) ???? Harry - you may well be legit, but there is always the potential... and your timing to start posting here, is well, awkward.

I am continuing the chat on a 1BigCommunity thread regarding the game set up.

Looks like 5 definite teams - 1BC, CD Groups, Civ Fanatics, Apolyton, and a French team, with 3 Apolyton members on it - Spiffor, Crousto, Astrologix, but also 17 non-Apolytonians. The maybe is a German team, similar in composition, I believe, to Borc's PTW-Demo game team.

We are looking for an administrator for the game. The others are reluctant to use Ming or someone associated with Apolyton. That is understandable. Upon my suggestion, Kentonio has written Firaxis to see if someone there will do it. In addition to getting a neutral administrtor, they (Firaxis) will have a direct line to some of the pbem and MP issues.

But I suspect they have heard about most of them already. Now - if only they would hurry up on some of the fixes. Anyways, we should hear something back from them soon.

Now, I am off to PM Markos and inquire about setting up a seperate forum, which by the nature of the game involved - will need to be closed.

Cheers!

I've been actually doing a pretty good job checking my pm these days from time to time.

But then again.. I havent checked my email in 4 days. Looks like I can only do one or the other.

And my second post was the one on this thread to sign up!

My first Civ game was Civ2:ToT. That was my first real addictive game. It lead to may sleepless weekends. I heard that Civ3 was coming out and I started watching the Civ3.com site about three months before its release. I checked out a few of the civ sites now and again and usually ended up coming back to Apolyton. I scanned the forms now and then. I found the DG game intriguing - taking a single player game and turning into a multi-player collaboration. What a concept! I kept tabs on your progress. I particularly liked the maps and the Jungle Gazette.

Harovan · January 21, 2003, 21:54

I have lots of PBEM games running (2 of them with multiple, 4-5 turns per day) and have the work as the prez of Gathering Storm. My game list is already full, but a multisite game is tempting, if it's really multisite (i.e. not only Poly and CFC).

Ah, screw it, count me in.

Beta · January 21, 2003, 23:16

Welcome Sir Ralph. And yes, it is more than just CFC. It includes 1BC and CD Groups. As well as the French and possible German teams to give it flavor.

And you know - that has me thinking.

Uh, oh.

Instead of asking Firaxis to act as a neutral administrator, maybe we should ask them to put a team in. Sort of a "You made it, now play it" challenge.

Hmm.. gotta go talk to Kentonio.

GeneralTacticus · January 21, 2003, 23:20

I'd like to join; I don't have PTW, but I should be able to get it before the game actually starts.

Beta · January 21, 2003, 23:22

GT - welcome. Only a handful of the team members will need PTW - the ones who actually play our turns. So welcome. Just bring your knowledge of Civ3 and a competitive spirit.

asleepathewheel · January 21, 2003, 23:25

Sign me up, not sure how active i can be, but sounds like fun.

Great idea! Now we'll see...

Every little bug will have revenge!

Tiberius · January 22, 2003, 03:32

I'd like to give it a try.

Eli · January 22, 2003, 04:06

I'm in. I wont be very active though.

BigFurryMonster · January 22, 2003, 04:07

Count me in.

If you're going to organize things, please make sure that it will be a "fast" game for civ-pbem standards. Something like: at least 3 turns per week or something. I don't want to wait 5 years for Victory...

(in fact: 3 turns/week means the game will run almost 3 years, so this might be too slow, too)

MarkG · January 22, 2003, 07:55

a civgroup for the apolyton team has been created

as people join up and the process of starting the game goes on, we'll create a separate private forum for the team

go apolyton!

FrustratedPoet · January 22, 2003, 08:05

I'd like to be a citizen.
I can't promise to contribute a huge amount - I'm in 4 pbem's and the PTWDemoGame as it is - , but I'm interested in conquering the world in the name of Apolyton.

Beta · January 22, 2003, 08:12

Thank-you Markos!!!

Much appreciate it.

Tiberius · January 22, 2003, 08:15

Thanks Markos!!!

Go Apolyton !!!

alva · January 22, 2003, 08:40

Do not seek to chastise the gOdZ, for they work in mysterious ways their wonders to perform.

Theseus · January 22, 2003, 10:30

I am in.

Donegeal · January 22, 2003, 10:48

YEAH MARKOS!!!!

The gOdz rule!

Dis · January 22, 2003, 15:25

I'm interested. I have signed up.

E_T · January 22, 2003, 17:48

O.k., I'm in. I have no I dea when I'll be getting PTW, because of personal Finances, so I can't do much but make suggestions.

Where is the new Civ Groups for this?

Has anyone made a Icon for it (GF??)?

As long as it isn't a Banana

There is also a link at the top of this thread and at the top of the Civ3DG forum.

Maybe, something with a big "A' for Apolyton.

(as opposed to 'eh', for Canada)

Mr Mayor · January 22, 2003, 19:04
