If the idea of an interview with Alexander's Horse would be well-received but Solver can't face it then I'll offer my services. I'll interview the old nag.

The tone of the interview may be something of a departure from those that have gone before, but something tells me it'd be a bloody good laugh.

You up for it, Dobbin? Are the assorted Head Honchos willing to chance their arms?

Your call.
RU the professional writer? I'm all for a repeat of the incredible interview with catapult and camel.

So we might as well go for the fait accompli. Ming, old drinking pal want to do an interview? I might even be able to do it in person. Then we can just submit it through channels and use our superior connections to the big boss man to get it printed.

my picks
the 3 I look to for civ3 perspective:
yin26
Korn - some number or other
raingoon

civ2 guys:
Xin Yu there's a reason my version has "Xin Yu's War Academy"
Scouse Gits what a lot of work he's done
RAH the same stuff you'd get from Ming, but he's more thoughtful.

also:
Alexander's Horse yes, the cure for him gives you extra happy people in each city. sometimes I take out his column on how civ ruined his life for laughs. if you could get him to be straightforward, that is. he has a tendency to say inflammatory things for the heck of it.

Gee, thanks for the defence guys
Especially Ming

Actually I started out posting on the civ 3 forums and made perhaps as many as 1 or 2000 posts there, maybe more, before I even discovered the OT (Lancer is to blame for that I think ). I have at least 8 credits on the first civ 3 list. So part of that game could be me (muwahahaha!!!).

My daily posting routine is visit the civ 3 forum, then civ 2 general, strat, multiplay and then CTP II if I need a laugh I usually have a couple of "serious" threads running - there's one on maximising production in the civ 2 strat forum which is worth a look. I'm also waging a campaign in the civ 3 forum to get Firaxis to take multiplayer seriously - whenever I can think of a topic about it. Apart from that, I think I've convinced just about everyone that building cities on mountains is a cheat and Firaxis sent me an E-mail just the other day to say they wouldn't allow mountain cities in civ 3 - but I've been keeping that to myself (Imran! get over here!)

I post about 5-10 posts on topic per day and maybe a thread or 2 a week. After the game forums, I come to this forum, and then finally the OT, where I hang out if nothing else is going on.

As for Solver, we have to remember his country was under Soviet occupation for many years and they shot or deported the intelligentsia.

Well, there's your interview spoiled

Solver would like this one
http://www.planetacol.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/017028.html

My "Here comes an aeroplane thread" at ACOL is going really well. If anyone wants to contact me they can do so there.

Since the war on spam ended in defeat for the funsters I've been spending more and more time at ACOL. RIP Brain.

Since you wanted explanations for each of our choices, here is my rational for my picks:

MidKnight Lament - great contributor to the Civ 3 forums early on, opinions always strongly listened to

All three SG's - they have given so much to the community and it is always fun having to remember which one is speaking

Ming - no explanaiton needed

yin26 - former Civ 3 moderator, creator of many lists, currently on a crusade to make civ 3 a playable game, and countless other additions to the site

Horse - if you don't want to interview him then I understand. But the joy many have gotten from his posts will be remembered and he is one of the two or three most known posters on the site


I would also support many of the other suggestions. And I of course would look forward to interviews with all of the moderators. Question being, what would you ask Markos or Dan about their contribution to the site that we don't already know or that they don't want to tell us?

I'll agree to be interviewed by you on the following conditions:

The first question is "When did you first realise you were gay?"

At some point where I'll be unprepared you toss in "When did you stop beating your wife?"

You ask me some questions about my experinces with Call to Power II so I can slag off Activision and anyone still stupid enough to be playing that piece of cr#p.

You ask me about why I don't play SMAC so I can poke fun at science fiction games and drop a bucket on the whole science fiction thing in general.

You ask me a few questions about Apolyton including its moderation policies, the war on spam and my theory that modern Greeks are in fact Albanians whilst the ancient Macedonians were not Greek.

You don't ask me any questions which may embarrass Mark or Dan - I can do that without your help thank you very much.

You let me ask YOU a few pointed unscripted questions at the end.

So how about it cutie?

You must interview AH, he is a legend, even if we dont see eye to eye everyday I still appreciate all his "serious" posts . I think your bias to CTP and SMAC show clearly through your posts here and your choice of the first interviews, but no one jumped up and down when you chose a non Civ 2 poster. While many regard CTP and SMAC as just extensions of the civ game, most diehard Civ 2 aholics like myself dont, We regard Civ 3 as the sequel to Civ 2...

And I cant beleive anybody could ask Who is Rah?

I sent you my suggestions for next interview via PM but didnt add a reason..

I nominated Scouse Gits {1} & {2} for all their knowledge of civ 2 in general.

Markus and War4Ever for their knowledge of Multiplayer.

Alexander Horse because he is an all time legend of Apolyton (even if he did spam some)

and I add Drake and Capo as masters of the Diplo version of MP Civ 2.

Markos,
Keygen might have done Tau Ceti, but because I appointed him to. I have the final word in who does the interview, and with whom. Keygen wanted to do an interview, and I let him, but I could as well refuse it and do it myself. While I listen to what others say, I take the final decision in whom is interviewed. Don't try to look too harsh here, I know how are you in reality.

The great Solver has spoken! Agree with me or find yourself :banned:.

Rah,
Classic one!

AH,
Luckily, Latvia isn't probably the worst example of USSR. I wasn't one of those shot, as you see . In the interview with you, if and when it comes, I'd like to see flaming me as much as possible, so that I can cry even later then.

Mods, isn't there a staff room that you could take this whole argument to?

I mean, Markos comes on and says that basically while Solver is important to this process he isn't final. In essence it was to pubically take some off the heat of this thread from Solver to Markos, who we all know can take the heat. Now with this last thread of Solver arguing with the boss, he has put the heat right back on himself.

What gives? Why in public?

When I talk to Markos privately, we're just like friends. We're just both showing how big we are in public, to play a little bit . Plus, I am the volunteer, always.

You should interview the following people:

Hoek Ming, Jay Bee, Chasing Rainbows, Xin Yu, Allard

That's the crew! We go way back to the old Addicted to Civ 2 forums! It was guys like allard and jay bee who got me really interested in the creation aspect of civ 2...i know that I may not have contributed alot in recent memory, but I think it'd be fun to interview us "old" farts

And maybe Imran should be interviewed too, if only to soothe his ego.
