Ungrateful. If you must yell, yell it correctly.

@ IW.

And here I was about to complain that I was indeed full of greatness!

yeah... uhhh ... that's what I meant

[DarkCloud]

Sorry, I can't seem to find where UnOrthOdOx voted... but with some new votes that came in... JohnT is off the top 6... he was supplanted by notyoueither.

And here's my predictions for next round based on past results... if notyoueither and UnOrthOdOx don't get in this time, they'll be close to neck and neck next time when 2-3 people are going to be inducted in the hall of fame.

[Dis]

maybe in 10 or 20 rounds I might be able to make it

[oedo]

I've been wondering, how my point count could increase the recent four days without anyone voting for me. not that I'm too worried about finishing at the very top. but according to the list at page 9 (who voted for whom), I have 75 votes, not 81.

thanks to everyone voting for me.

[Boris Godunov]

There are threads for this in several other forums, so other people probably voted for you in those.

[DarkCloud]

As it is right now, if someone with 2 votes votes for both JohnT and notyoueither, then we'll induct 8 people in since they'll all be tied for 6th That would be a nice ending to this round!

1. oedo- (50) 81---131
2. Boris Godunov – (77) 51---128
3. ixnay- (78) 42---120
4. Reismark- (79) 26--105
5. DanS- (80) 20---101
6. UnOrthOdOx- (67) 32---99

notyoueither- (49) 46---97

JohnT- -(57) 40---97

Scouse Gits- (58) 29--87

Immortal Wombat- (49) 37--86

DarkCloud- (60) 24---84

I'm pretty sure you can't vote for yourself.

[Ming]

Uh.... you can't vote for yourself

[Skanky Burns]

[conmcb25]

OPPs I Read the rules wrong, I will correct the post!

BTW Skanky can you mail me your avatar for Xmass?

[Skanky Burns]

PM me with your email addy.

[DarkCloud]

So just wondering, since I'm pretty certain that the top 5 of the top 6 are locked to be inducted as of now... does anyone have any specific things they'd like to see included in the entries for:

Reismark... (Yes I will cover his Fantasy Football and Hodadian Award Central... but what else?)

DanS... (OT poster... Debater... "economist??"... and what else?)

Boris Godunov (Anything in particular you want me to write Boris? Other than a friendly OT debater?)

ixnay (Civ demogames... OT posting, etc. anything specific?)

oedo (civ II-strategy King... and anything else required?)

Suggestions are open but please keep them short!

thank you everyone for your votes- the polls close on Sunday (4 days left!)

[The Mad Monk]

DC, did you count my votes?

[DarkCloud]

I'm pretty certain that I did:

Dr. Strangelove (3), notyoueither (3), Venom (3)

Venom- (35) 3---38

And double checking venom's vote totals, it does seem that I did.

Did anything look wrong?

[ixnay]

For me, I'd guess the reasons people have voted for me are my humor, skill with Photoshop and graphics, and stint in the Civ2 Democracy game.

If anyone has anything else to say about me, feel free

[Zopperoni]

Avid Packers fan, crap Lombardi teamplayer.

[Sparrowhawk]

I assume the oedo entry will include at least reference to "oedo years" - the discovery (conincidentally by oedo ) that the period of disorder in Civ 2 for revolutions follows a pattern, and by knowing this pattern, you know when to revolt to eliminate the period of anarchy (which is something that was theorized about and tested, but not discovered for some time until oedo made his remarkable...though in hindsight simple...discovery )

I´m certainly no civII-strategy King. please don´t use that term.

Sparrowhawk hit the point: the only reason, why I got so many votes, is my discovery of the oedo years. it´s a really simple formula, anyone could have found it out.

it didn´t take much to discover, I more or less stumbled over the algorithm: it´s been three years ago and I arranged a game with Ming, Rah, Matthew, markusf, Paul, Bird, XinYu and smartfart. in this game we didn´t play against each other. instead we played a cooperative game where it was all about playing together in order to build and land a spaceship as soon as possible (we finally managed landing a spaceship in 6AD after two sessions.)
since we permanently communicated with each other it turned out that all players could choose a new goverment in exactly the same turn. this was the moment I realized, that changing goverment probably wasn´t a random event, there must have been pattern behind it. up to this moment everyone believed that changing goverment was nothing but random.

some days later, I went after this again. it only took me about 10 minutes to find out and verify the whole (and easy) xxxo-pattern. I immediately posted it into the strategy forum.


some months later I also figured another fomula. it was about techs available for choose. unlike the oedo-years, this formula was very hard to find out, it took me about two days of testing. this formula also had some influence in game-playing, but it never became as popular. I regret that. I would feel better if people would rather associate my name with the tech-pattern I figured out, because it was way harder to research.


after all, there are people, who did more research on civII than I did. especially I´m thinking about Scouse Gits, samson, solo and SlowThinker. unlike me, they´re true die-hard researchers. but I happened to find out a formula, which soon became too crucial to ignore for every serious civII player.


again, thanks for your votes.

oedo, good to see you buddy
