bagdar · February 8, 2001, 05:57

when is it?

Roman · February 8, 2001, 07:32

I add my voice to this question. Hopefully it will be heard in some headquaters far away...

Henrik · February 8, 2001, 10:54

I want to know to.

MrFun · February 8, 2001, 11:46

Yes, I would also like to know if Firaxis is either working very long hours on Civilization III, or if they intend to update the site SOON.

something tells me that Dan Magaha is not working on the civ3 ai when he is not working on the civ3 site...

MrFun · February 8, 2001, 17:36

Markos, what are you talking about? Why wouldn't a Firaxis staff member be able to work on the Civilization III site when they're not working on the game itself?

And one more question - don't your eyes EVER get tired when they roll like that constantly?

February 8, 2001, 18:10

cause Dan Magaha is the firaxis webmaster and that is what his only job is: managing the firaxis site, not working on civ3

Well, I wouldn't say that's my *ONLY* job =), but it certainly is one of my highest priorities. The quick answer is that we have an update in the works, please be patient.

Thanks,

Dan

Theben · February 9, 2001, 03:23

Yeah, his other job is Apolyton PR hack.

I suppose this placates me temporarily, though I hope it will not be "real soon" like with the civ3 website, which didn't appear for three months after the comment.

Dan, I hope you read my thread "The most urgent question for Firaxis". It will show you what people are most concerned about regarding the game.

bagdar · February 13, 2001, 12:21

come on, it's been a month!

--what, it hasn't been a month?

anyway, where's the update!

Roman · February 14, 2001, 01:03

Allow me to make a prediction. So far everything new was either released by Firaxis on monday or friday. This coming friday will be exactly 4 weeks (1 month) after their last update of the site. They said they will answer "a few questions every month".

Therefore, I predict the next update will come on this friday.

Yeah, site was released on a monday and first update on a friday. What more has there been? Too bad you can only release something once

I see some problems in this logic, but it sure was funny to mee

Well, that I do think is a quite good guess. I'm also waiting for friday.

bagdar · February 14, 2001, 08:11

There was one other release, but I don't remember on what day the 3 units were revealed... Wait! I'll check. Now let me open another browser...

it was on a wednesday

(12/20 First Civ III units revealed)

Well, anyway, I'll be looking forward to an update (which is in the works

) this Friday. Let's see.

My theory does not work!

It was actually based on the pattern in which Activision released information about CTP2.

Still, friday is the best bet.

bagdar · February 16, 2001, 12:48

Ok, where is it?

February 16, 2001, 12:58

Well, since it's now Friday and no update - maybe it will be updated on Monday.

Henrik · February 16, 2001, 14:17

I'm getting tired of waiting, I want a site update, They will probably not update the site until they release the game

I have not given up hope, yet. Bear in mind that the time difference between Europe and the US Pacific coast is about 10 hours, so it is only morning there.

I hope not to be dissapointed.

Roman · February 16, 2001, 20:27

3:30pm US - Pacific Time: No Update;

Well, maybe this monday?

Shadowstrike · February 16, 2001, 23:20

Sadly, the site updates like mine.... Regular updates for 1 - 2 weeks, then nothing for 2 months while I'm busy with other work....

bagdar · February 17, 2001, 04:58

I have a suggestion to you folks: Several months ago, as you all know, the Civ III section on Apolyton was updated with giant intervals of time. Once I discovered it, I used to check the site every day, but got frustrated and decided to resist checking for a long time, and then come back with many new stuff. I suggest we forget the official website for a while.

Easier said than done, comrade. My money's on the 19th - this Monday.

I suppose, the last update was also on the 19th. However, I agree with badger - Monday evening is the last time I am checking the Firaxis website. From then on I will only ever check on Mondays and Fridays.

The diplomat · February 18, 2001, 17:47

Tomorrow will be exactly 1 month from the last update. So, I sure hope that we get an update tomorrow.

I predict a 40% chance that new information will be released on either a Monday or Friday. This is based on my deducing the Firaxis staff doesn't work weekends.

February 18, 2001, 18:53

But remember folks ... Monday is an American Federal Holiday (President's Day), so the earliest would be on Tuesday

Henrik · February 19, 2001, 03:31

You must be right, it is monday and: no new site!

This thread began to sound like a training ground for a career in prophecy.
