Use HTML tables if you quote my post you will see my code (I think) and be able to copy it.
I thought about sorting the list in any way, but couldn’t decide if I should sort in alphabetically or categorized. Result: Still unsorted .

I also forgot to add
PCR - Post Count Reduction
and the very rarely PCI - Post Count Increasement (not Personal Computer Interface )

AFIK The China Syndrome is the expresion used for a special kind of nuclear accident - something like the core is melting and goes thru the Earth to the other part (from US to China). I saw that in a old movie with Michael Douglas, called "The China Syndrome"

Even if they have played civ for long it would be hard to understand them if they haven't discussed civ with anyone.

As Far As I Know, it relates to the Civilization model (every version) where the winner will usually be the player who develop his/her civ lasting forever and ending as big as possible, a role in real world only China can fit.

Actually, I'm not the one that updates the list in most cases, Lemmy does that. I just change the layout of it, and no Names that not have been listed here, and I haven't added myself are in the list. It is still being updated.
