Hoek:

So, Ming, how long have you been playing Civ II for?

Rasputin · July 25, 2001, 15:18

H Tower · July 25, 2001, 17:56

c'mon ming, you can be the next featured interview! take your rightful place alongside Wes W and Velocyrix!

Faces of Apolyton #3 Ming

Alex 14 · July 26, 2001, 03:04

I think Ming is ignoring this...

Alex 14 · July 26, 2001, 03:05

Your nice enough to prepare an interview for someone and they dont ever show up...

Hydey · July 26, 2001, 05:03

Did you bother to ask him via email or PM ?

Juggler · July 26, 2001, 05:24

I'm sure he'll notice it sooner or later.

after all, he is the moderator for this section of the forums

Solver · July 26, 2001, 08:30

And I am the Faces of Apolyton administrator. Now hit me hard for this one.

spartak · July 26, 2001, 15:20

Have we sprung a surprise? Maybe Ming is the next OFFICIAL interview?

God dam it - I suppose that Solver out bid us for the interview rights

rah · July 26, 2001, 15:30

Who is this "Solver" guy anyway? He certainly doesn't post in the CIV II section often.

RAH

War4ever · July 26, 2001, 19:20

if you look by his avatar, you'll see that he's in charge of CTP and SMAC threads and he does the interviews. the next interview is going to be of "Tau Ceti, administrator of the hillarious SMAC play-by-email tournament."

Ming · July 26, 2001, 19:42

Give me a break guys... Our office closed at noon today. I got home, and took a short nap so I can play mp civ later. I just saw this

I started playing the SNES Version of Civ. I don't have any clue how long ago that was, but it was one of the first games I bought for SNES, and I got SNES when it just came out.

But Civ did change my life.

I was trying to make the decision on whether I would upgrade to the next version of gaming platform, or just get a PC.
I remember searching the internet (from work) for hints and tips, and saw that CivII had just been released for the PC.

CivII became the determining factor. CivII was the sole reason for me moving to a computer, and then to the internet on a more regular basis, and then, the rest is history

Civ is the only game I have on my shelf that has survived the test of time, and is still loaded on my computer

Rasputin · July 26, 2001, 20:57

Does best imitation of an interviewer.

***

And so ming after discovering civ 2 how did you get to the Forums here , and what made you stay to eventually become the Mod of all the best parts ....

H Tower · July 27, 2001, 19:43

I PM'ed solver about making ming the next interview and this is the response I got: "I would do Ming as well for #5, but Markos doesn't allow me. As Ming is a staff member, he says that I must postpone it. Perhaps you'd like to ask Ming some questions, for future interview?
Solver"

So no official interview w/Ming for awhile, unless everybody goes and bugs Markos about it

Chris 62 · July 27, 2001, 20:42

Who is Ming?

Interesting you started with SNES Civ-1, so did I. I didn't have a clue what all those symbols meant on the city displays, but I was hooked.

Funny how solver's interviews lasted so long, and this one is only a few lines!

Solver · July 29, 2001, 06:42

I'm not the one to blame here! Ming is Faces of Apolyton #7, officially. If somebody wants to torture him, mail me on this one. And Ming, you prepare for about two hundred questions

Ming gives such a crappy interview. Let's interview MtG I'm sure he'll be fun.

The Mad Monk · August 5, 2001, 21:48

I think an interview with Venom would be interesting.

Unprintable, but interesting.
