Apolyton Hall of Fame Voting - Page 7

They can do anything.

Let us just look for a second at some of the other great institutions called "Hall of Fames".
Major League Baseball has a hall of fame. To be consider for it you must have some qualifications such as 300 wins, 3000 hits, 500 HRS , winning World Series or being a major contributor to the game as a long time owner or broadcastor.
Now, lets look at Apolyton Civ hall of Fame. What on Earth are the qualifications for this institution?
If you have to be a contributor to this forem, that would be a good start.
There are 2 people that are not in the Hall of Fame as far as I know that you all love to hate, Eyes and StrategicKing. We have contributed to this forem combined more then many of the Hall of Famers alltogether.(Of course the difference being that I have never been banned).
if it is a matter of what you have added to the game, Oedo should make it hands down on the first ballot based solely on the Oedo year discovery alone.
If it is a matter of Tittles, may I remind thoose that maybe have not have heard this, I am 8 time Game League Champion (where have you been for the last 4 years if you did not know this)
If it is just a popularity contest may I suggest you all return to high school, grab a cigerette and go sit at the cool table or grow up and set some sort of standerds voting should be based on so this maybe taken more seriously and is not the Hiddiously Obtuse Fraud voting.

or it could just be a bit of fun on apolyton

War4ever · May 24, 2003, 23:51

strate , its just for fun.... you wouldn't like it, loudmouths not allowed

Ming · May 25, 2003, 00:03

Uhhhh.... SK... It's not the Civ HOF, it's the Apolyton HOF. And it's meant for people who are important to the site... or people who can win a popularity contest

Unfortunately anyone who was GL champion more than 7 times is constitutionally barred from entering the hall of fame.

Just one of those loopholes, since when the rules were set noone could imagine an 8-times winner. Sorry.

Someone wake me up when StrategicKingMi contributes something.

War4ever · May 25, 2003, 17:21

well rah, i will defend this about strate.......hes an awesome player....we only played once, but i have had a few save games sent to me by opponents , and after looking over his games..this boy has skills....

he , like some of the other loud folks around here just likes to goad people into games.....

if he couldn't play, i wouldn't have any respect, but he can there i do....

but sometimes STRATE...................

rah · May 25, 2003, 17:27

I don't discount his skill, (on those settings). I'm more concerned about contributions here. He hasn't been consistent in those terms. Heck, eyes has provided more entertainment.

War4ever · May 25, 2003, 17:35

i will give you that, if you think entertainment is insulting and profanity...at least strat keeps it clean

rah · May 25, 2003, 17:50

Hmm, I think my comment more pointed out how little either has contributed.

RAH
Notch.

Ming · May 25, 2003, 17:50

Well rah... you forgot to unban eyes... don't worry, I did.

I really don't mind the rants and raves... it is good entertainment value.

Both he and Strat are great players. And while I don't enjoy their settings, all power to them. I just get a little tired of the ole "no other setting require strategy crap".

Eyes has been talking about his new unbeatable strategy, and Strat has been doing the same. I would love to hear what happens if they should meet and use them.

rah · May 25, 2003, 17:54

Opppps, thanks for remembering. Appreciated.

War4ever · May 25, 2003, 20:04

Ming ...i would like to see this strat too...... i am always open to trying new things..whether they work or fail

rah · May 25, 2003, 20:15

As long as the strat doesn't include, that no one attacks each other for the first 3000 years.

War4ever · May 25, 2003, 20:37

admittedly, if i didn't have to worry about barbs or rivals , i would pump settlers only as well

StrategicKingMi · May 25, 2003, 21:24

I must call you on this one Rah. I have posted here for 4 years on very substantive issues not just empty bragging. I have posted many strategies. I have posted saves of a number of different games. Had my rival battles with other members. I have offered many challenges. Exprsed my point of view, agree with it or not. Surely some of my posts have been a little funny and a lot pretty edgey. do I play alot of games with Apolytoners, maybe not and if disqualified because of that, Ill struggle on.
(Bye the Bye, I play more settings then you do so maybe you can give that tired argument some rest.)

Maybe if you would give up the tired "only my settings require strategy crap" we can stop our tired arguments as well and start having some real discussions

War, you might get me to vote for you if you would at least run for a demo game position instead of just talking about it for months

He was using you for the many +1's. I'd ask if you feel dirty, but since you play demogames there isn't much point.

Hydey · May 26, 2003, 08:41

the good doctor would fit right in with the demo game group

Well you don't even get to see the game..............just talk about it. I'd rather play a few more turns on the ELG game when I get Civ time.
