I am interested in Sim Golf and do want to see some coverage on ACS, but I think some news on the Misc section or even its own page without a thread would be enough. However, if dinos still has a thread, a page, and a spot on the main page than why not dedicate space to a game that is actually going to be made?

Mark,

Are you saying that had ACS been around during the pre-Gettysburg days that you would have covered Gettysburg!? If so, then I am all for expanding to the Sim Golf, if not when did a site dedicated to Civ become one that goes for anything made by Firaxis?

DinoDoc · May 12, 2001, 00:01

No, don't cover it at all. What does golf have to do with Civ?

Buck Birdseed · May 12, 2001, 00:09

"It"? What do you mean, reismark?

I know it isn't a Civ game, but it's in fact a Sid game

See? See? We have official support. Well, not really. But almost!

DarkCloud · May 12, 2001, 15:21

I say NO- don't have SimGolf as a featured game- this is a site of not just Sid Games- But it Is a site of empire building games
not golf playing, management, or golf trading games.

Buck Birdseed · May 13, 2001, 15:42

Wait a second! That's Jeffrey "Hard Space" Morris the DL, not Jeffrey Morris the FIRAXIS employee! Mark, You still haven't prevented DLs from voting in polls?

Buck Birdseed · May 14, 2001, 13:59

And that's why I want it covered.

I don't give a rats arse as to who designed it... Well, okay, maybe I do, but Sid Meier is certainly not on my list of top ten all time game designers.

the award for best comment goes to MidKnight Lament

Some of you people

If Sid Meir was putting out "Sid Meir takesa dump" some of you would probably want to see it covered......

We're talking about freaking golf here!

Mark cant you delete my comment? Ide really like to use that Password again someday

Bereta_Eder · May 17, 2001, 21:35

And for the past 2 minutes I was trying to decode the cryptical meaning of your comment (not)

BTW, I voted don't know, don't care. But now I changed my mind. My vote is «probably not»! Unless you want to call the site: «Sid Meier's Apolyton»

One question: is Master of Orion TBS? If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to have it covered in Apolyton?

I get the fealing that Administration does not have the power to edit the Vote Comments. This is may actually be a good thing , now that I think about it

Rasputin · May 20, 2001, 03:08

so seeing an overwhleming majority voted no does the refernce to golf get removed or is this an undemocratic site, and the poll was purely rhetorical

I check out the review. The graphics look nice. By looking at the screen shots there appears to some pretty big limitations. I'm sure this will be one of those games that's a real fun to play at first, some more fun even after mastered for a short time and than yet another box top to dust.

So all this voting and Apolyton is going to cover it anyways. Good! It is Mark and Dan's site by the way and if they want to take the time to do so then I am all for it. Whatever makes them happy and continues to allow me to get my Civ Drug.

And when the game is released, Mark or Dan can we have Golf Matches hosted by Apolyton?

Bereta_Eder · May 31, 2001, 22:54

Mark and Dan, I hereby accuse you of being undemocratic!

(Hmm, on the other hand that's the only way to keep Apolyton in one piece

Nevermind forget I said it.

All is well

MarkG · June 1, 2001, 04:07

you know guys.....

more people want some coverage(51+12+20=83), than no coverage(80)

Provost Harrison · June 1, 2001, 06:50

The issue is though, if some people don't want coverage, they don't have to go to the bleeding forum. Makes sense yes? Now that some interest in this has been gauged, it should go ahead, even if the no's where in the majority. Make sense, yes?
