Rasputin · July 24, 2001, 13:56

or an interview with Eyes of Night perhaps, fitting of his all time greatest status ....

Colon™ · July 24, 2001, 16:00

"Imran is an interesting character, being a staff member with Deity post amount. Plus, he bring these news here."

Plus he has been here for a long time and he's at home at both on-topic and off-topic forums. And he will also be delighted to talk about his fond memories of April fools.

Eyes_Of_Night · July 24, 2001, 20:14

EyesOfNight- Welcome everyone, today I'm going to interview the great Solver. He is the Apolyton interviewer and he also....well he does a really good job at it and he really wants an interview so we thought we'd give him one. Solver, how are you doing today?
Solver- I'm doing fine, thanks.

EyesOfNight- Ok, lets get started. I hear you're in charge of int....what is that in your pocket?

Solver- That's the Pocket Protector 2001. It's guaranteed to stop all ink on contact and it even has a patented dual action cleaning system. I got it from a friend.

EyesOfNight- *Chokes back laughter* I see, and who is this friend? It must be a very special friend to get you something like that.

Solver- hee hee hee Oh he is. *Bats eyelashes*

EyesOfNight- "He"...nothing...wrong....with that. We live in a civilized society where people like you....are...accepted. So....lets get to the interview. I hear you're a really good interviewer, can you tell us a little bit about how you got that highly esteemed job?

Solver- MarkG gave me the job after I...*blush* Well you know...

EyesOfNight- Oh...well he's greek and they are known for being...well...gay. I mean afterall the great ancient greek civilization was gay....not that there's anything wrong with that. So what do you feel your greatest contribution to ACS is?

Solver- That would have to be my superior intellect which the peasants of Apolyton all admire and envy.

EyesOfNight- And let me be the first to say that I truly do envy you. :rollseyes: Now I hear you're having some troub...

Solver- I'm the ACS interviewer.

EyesOfNight- Yes I know...

Solver- I'm one of the most powerful people on apolyton.

EyesOfNight- That's wonderful, as a lowly servant of his majesty I feel compelled to kiss the ground you walk upon.

Solver- No really, I'm the Apolyton Interviewer.

EyesOfNight- ....

Solver- Why are you looking at me like that?

EyesOfNight- .....

Solver- .....

EyesOfNight- I'm going to kill you. I'm going to rip of your head and I'm going stick it on a pike and parade through out all of apolyton so that all may see.

Solver- I'm the Apolyton Interviewer.

EyesOfNight- Shut up.

Solver- I'm the Apolyton Interviewer.

EyesOfNight- *Jumps over the table* That's it, you're going to ****ing die!!!!

Snow replaces the picture on the television...

Ming · July 24, 2001, 20:28

Eyes... a little "chill" might be in order. While he seems to have proved that he needs to learn a little more history about the civ forums... that's really no excuse to blow his head off

On the other hand... funny stuff... but let's not get personal

Alexander's Horse · July 24, 2001, 20:38

Hey Eyes - I think you and I should wait for the second interview series - "Farces of Apolyton".

TCO · July 24, 2001, 22:19

This is the first time I've laughed with Eyes instead of at him. Funny interview!

connorkimbro · July 25, 2001, 00:42

I'd love to see Bugs interview AH. . how about it Markos??

Number one was a smac player. . number two was a ctp player. . it's about time we get back to the community that started it all. . (and still the best civ game around) . . some Civ2 players. . i'd suggest

Scouse Gits for his work on the great library . . .
. . i'd suggest yin, but he's such a damn pessimest about civ3 these days. . blah. .

If you avoid interviewing off topic posters. . then you're not truely getting "faces of apolyton" . .

That kind of witty remark is exactly why AH should be interviewed.

Solver · July 25, 2001, 04:52

Let's try to remain serious, as much as possible. But Eyes, that's a great one! Really enjoyed it.

This has got to be the best eyes post ever!!!

rah · July 25, 2001, 09:17

Pretty funny Eyes, even it was not exactly PC.

Loved the Seinfeld reference.

RAH
And I agree, this is a CIV site Damnit.

Solver, think of how much fun an Eyes interview would be.
It would also attract a lot of attention from a promotions standpoint.

Colon™ · July 25, 2001, 09:20

Hey give Solver some slack, most of us don’t volunteer for anything and making a good list of questions requires some work.

Gibsie · July 25, 2001, 09:49

What's to stop AH or Bugs, etc. from simply making an interview themselves, without the endorsement of MarkG or DanQ (or the mighty Solver

)?

Rasputin · July 25, 2001, 10:21

I guess they can post such an interview as a normal thread in OT, but if they want it included as one of the threads in each forum and keep it topped for all us to read, they will need MarkGs approval (or Solver depending on who wins the big fight!!)

Solver · July 25, 2001, 10:30

Rasputin, I'm taking care of Faces of Apolyton, not other interviews, and not what is posted in the OTF.
Colon, making a list of questions is difficult. You need to know much about the person you're asking questions. BTW, if somebody wants to ask questions for FoA 4, mail me. if the person agrees, I'll post here saying who he is, if not, I'll just tell you he refused you, without naming the name.

i think that is what i said Solver... they can do any inteerviews they want , but the official Faces of Apolyton are MarkG's ermmm I mean yours !!!

Solver · July 25, 2001, 12:42

I'd like to clarify the situation with MarkG or me. Interviews are mine in meaning that I make them, assign people, etc. MarkG is my boss, who might overrule my decisions, and he is who posts.

Bugs ****ing Bunny · July 25, 2001, 17:43

...in which case I've pre-empted assignment and sent Alexander's Horse his questions. Should the completed answers be returned to you?

Chris 62 · July 25, 2001, 19:32

And now, the "Faces" concept will take on dimentions unforseen by it's creators, as an acidic, morally bankrupt corporate flunky interviews an acidic, corupt government flunky in a battle of wits that will most likely be far over the heads of the average apolyton poster.

Now this will be worth reading, and could lead to similar battles of intelects of matching ability, such as Giancarlo interviews evac, Saddam interviews Civnation2001, Rah interviews Ming (Who is Rah?), AnnC interviews MarkG, and many of fascinating matchups.

How about a poll not just of likely people to be interviewed, but also whom will do the interviewing? I'm sure someone would enjoy setting up such a poll.

All in all, this could bring the already popular feature to dazzling heights.

this sounds more like "celebrity deathmatch"

Ming · July 25, 2001, 19:55

Actually... they sound like fun!

and who is this Rah guy anyway

All I got from you was an E-mail calling me a slut and asking if I was interested in some rough trade

Colon™ · July 25, 2001, 20:27

"All I got from you was an E-mail calling me a slut..."

Good to see my email arrived.

Father Beast · July 25, 2001, 22:49

Eyes Of Night? Who is this Eyes Of Night person?

This is exactly the kind of thing that this feature is good for. apparently Eyes of night has a certain notoriety on these forums, and I have hardly heard of him (her) (it). I only know about people if I read their posts, or if they write a column. That's how I first heard of Horse, after all.
I had heard of Velocyrix before, but not Wes, before their interviews.

And I think the OT should be visited as well, even though I can't stand it myself. It's part of apolyton, and a great way to deal with a common problem. There are certainly Apolytoners there I haven't heard about.

Who is this Eyes of night, anyway?

Jay, if there were more people like AH, in on-topic, I'd run like hell in other direction. What's good about him? Posts I've seen from him were average at best, and he is very quick at insulting people, he can insult somebody in 2 posts.

But, he is an interesting poster and has contributed interesting ideas and discussions to the on topic and the off topic.

Solver- I hope you realize that most of the veterans have moved to the off-topic and will hardly remember some of these old (and new) on-topic posters. Thus, less people will enjoy the interviews.

Interviews with fun people would be interesting!
Ex: EVC, Giant Squid (good civ II scenarios and good civ IIer), Albert Speer (maybe

Problems with my life Series I-XIV; I feel sorry for his life... I would like to see him discuss it more; if he wants) MikeH (spamking and interesting debator)

Wombat- thanks for the nomination

"Eyes of Night is a cheater": Famous thread...made after Eyes challenged all comers to duels and was revealed as a cheat shortly thereafter.

Eyes_Of_Night · July 26, 2001, 00:23

lol GP, you're funny. What's even more funny is that you don't know ****. You really have no idea who I am. You have no idea who I know, and you have no idea of my capabilities in civ2. I went 2 years with only losing a total of 4 games on gameleague. You should read your history before you take me on, I guarantee you'll lose.

TCO · July 26, 2001, 00:31

No offense. I was just trying to bring Pa Beast up to speed. If I've been anything other than accurate, we can get MWHC to clarify things.

Now take it easy and don't "civ me" to death.

I mean you're such a brute and everything! Now Solver actually likes to be pushed around but I'm not into those rough "games."

Eyes_Of_Night · July 26, 2001, 00:36

Lets go *****.

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...5&pagenumber=1

We'll see who is better. Want to talk **** to me? Put your money where your mouth is. And bring MWHC along with you, I've always enjoyed making him look like a moron.
