I knew it! When I saw both Jeff and Mike logged on, I knew something was up.

It will be good to hear from them.
Any chance that you could narrow the time frame a little?

All right!!
This is good news, very good news. I hope that this is just more than the release of some more screenschot(unless they have fixed some of the terrain graphics). But anyway, this good news, but won't change me over to the optomist side.

I certainly hope they release some good stuff, such as an all new website ( http://www.civ3.com) bursting with info. Probably not yet, but I can dream.

MarkG: I was going to post this in response to you at the poll that you closed. I would send it to you but don't want to hassle you like that.

What, is it some big secret that they have been planning all along? Seriously, when the noise reached a fever pitch, that's exactly when they said that they were going to do/say something this weekend. I do NOT believe that WHAT they have to say has anything to do with us, but I DO believe that they told us just to have us quiet down a bit. Of course this is all speculation and I could be totally wrong, but I'll have to wait and see what they say before my opinion will change.

Well done OfAPeCiClu
THX,
to an overhelming pressure by OfAPeCiClu FIRAXIS was forced to do something. What it is, we shall see. (Has Firaxis done the "Learn Yin SImGolf" game?  )
To all OfAPeCiClu-members: You have done a good job and our primary goal has been reached.
MarkG: If you received an exclusive 1) congrats 2) please hurry releasing it.
Gee, I hope it will be good news - Right now I would like to give FIRAXIS positive feedback. (Deserved one of course)

Hum, Uberkrux, I think you can better attach a reduced version of that picture, it's too large and even with my DSL connection it took some time to load. (people with a slower connection will find it even more annoying)

we had such an agreement, yes. it would be actually just one more special character in simgolf. a twisted personality who is obsessed with playing golf, but at the same time hated it
you mission would be to win the tournament with your virtual-yin and make him realise that golfing is something wonderfull!!
unfortunately the plan has failed cause yin doesnt want to pass from maxis' 3d-body-scanner so that we have an accurate digitized model of his
