I'm Leaving, are you coming?

H Tower · July 30, 2001, 03:06

This forum's dead, all we do is rehash old pics and come up with idea's that will never see the light of day again until civ4 comes out. I'll come back when something worthwhile(new) comes out. Who's with me?

TechWins · July 30, 2001, 03:51

It's good to finally see you leave. Hopefully you don't come ever back. There's no way I'm going to leave Apolyton, I mean they're paying me to post multiple times a day. Yeah, I wish. Actually Mark do you think something like that could be arranged, though? I know it's a long shot but what the hell.

Can we conclude, Markos, that the next interview will be released sunday next ? That's great, I hope I can login to the internet from Uganda ;-)

Yeah, you can send me lets say $1 for every post and every 100 posts I get you send me the $100. I want that in the US dollar, by the way.

A joke.

MarkG · July 30, 2001, 04:28

i said "to pay".....

TechWins · July 30, 2001, 04:40

Yeah right to pay for posting. No way. I thought you just left out the you part. I thought you meant, what? to pay you for posting here? Now that's how it should be.

What? And miss all the fun of Yin's rants? Of getting all my Elvis threads shot down or closed outright? You haven't even been here a month. You're bltching already. Well, the less whiners the better.

I will pay you .001 cent for a post that might be good in the long run...

when you became King you get a cent... not a bad deal.

P&P is paid by you.

maybe that could be an idea for Apolyton souvenir.

Case · July 30, 2001, 06:38

mmm, maybe the frequent posters could get sponsership deals

Well, the more I read here, the less optimistic I get about civ3...

Maybe Firaxis should shut down Apolyoton!

Seriously though, I think I will wait until the release. Then I'll come back and discuss it. See if Yin was right after all....

Robert Plomp · July 30, 2001, 12:01

MarkG.............
you're really not going to answer my question huh

Urban Ranger · July 30, 2001, 12:30

What's wrong with discussing new ideas? There are many other Civ variants out there and their developers are reading and posting to this forum.

Sabre2th · July 30, 2001, 12:57

I agree that the forums are certainly getting boring and repetitive, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm too hooked on civ. If I can't have the game, I'll at least be able to talk about it.

I'm pathetic, aren't I?

Dugrik · July 30, 2001, 13:12

Are you really here just for the Civ3 rumors? I think most folks come for Civ2 or CTP or OT and stop by Civ3 out of curiousity. Yes, the Civ3 forum has been very silly lately, what with the lack of news to comment on, but it only takes a minute to check for messages of substance.

I think we have enough spam. We don't need more incentive for people to post.

Of course, paying to make a post would restrict the more liberal users of the "post reply" option.

*Warm Beer eyes CyberShy's use of deductive reasoning and nods his head slowly and awaits a reply from the Web Master*

I think you are on to something there, CyberShy.

Inverse Icarus · July 30, 2001, 18:22

later H Tower.

no one careds anyway

anyway, you just joined us this month.

we've been hasing old pics and whining about civ3 for a long while now

Beckdawg · July 30, 2001, 20:49

i agree the forum is getting boring.

that is one of the main reasons i left for the month of june. However, when i came back just recently i found we were still talking about the same boring things and nothing news worthy had came out. Then i read a delightful post by yin about joining the pessimistic club. Now at first i laughed about it and told him to just drink some alcohol and he would be all better. But then, i thought about it and was like what the hell. Then the forum got even better when we had off shoots of the pessimitic club. Now we had a little funny war going on here. It lasted all of like 3 days but those days were pretty fun. So, i say markos should lighten up just a bit and let it go until some new news comes out. It isn't like we are going to get that far out of hand and if we started to he could just stop it agian. But i personally would rather talk about that(all be it very stupid) than the same boring thing 500 times. I mean it has gone as far as talking about what sid's next project will be. That is one of the better post too. So, if we have this little rivalry going we would have some new fresh ideas instead of the same idea rehashed over and over and over and over until it dies. Also, i think most people here are smart enough to realize we are joking around

but my efforts are probably in vain here. So i guess i will have to live oppressed lol:banned:

DarkCloud · July 30, 2001, 21:13

Heck. I've been here nearly a year. I recently have been tired from the lack of new material- but everyone here should at least stay for a year in this section... Do a search under my name in this part of the Forums, you will find that I have posted every week in this forum (with the exception of 8 1 week 'vacations' from Apolyton, playing Earth:2025,Starcraft,etc.)

Rommel393 · July 30, 2001, 23:36

I think the forums are kinda funny

If you dont like them then just leave

Agree with Beckdawg,
It's been so long.............yes it's getting old.

Yin's club and others were a nice diversion. Rome had the gladiators, Apolyton had clubs. I'm surprised that Mark shut it down so quick. He's usually more clever than that. They generated a lot of posts, and took people's mind off the lack of information. (and if anyone thought that interview was jam packed with information

) It was getting slightly out of hand, but it was drawing people back. Mark should have at least let it run a week or two before shutting it down. (especially since he started it)

If you look at my posts, you will see that they are sporatic over the last year. (because few topics were worth discussing or not beaten dead with a stick yet)

I'll stay around out of hope. As I'm sure most of you will.

RAH

I would like to see more people review CIV III. They were usually very insightful, (and somewhat entertaining) because they highlighted what people thought most important about the game.
Heck, they're no more fantasy than 90% of the other threads.

And to those that leave, you'll be back or you wouldn't have come in the first place

Thanks alot Lung for that subtle implication. I assure you it was the "stupidest" thing I've ever done.

Then the final answers:

I'm still chuckling over Rommel's indignant reply. Yanks fall for it every time

Remember Rommel - we PBEM players have a long memory. Maybe that's why we like to play the way we do.

And who is actually the most weak-minded? You or the PBEM players?
