Has MarkG poisoned our Game?

H Tower · June 8, 2002, 15:23

He's just started a democracy game for civ3, and solicited here for members. My question is, will members of our game leave to participate in the civ3 game instead of finishing this one?

cavebear · June 8, 2002, 15:50

I think this is a bit unfair, considering the support we have received for this game from MarkG and other Apolyton leaders. You could have simply phrased the thread to ask if people would leave, and not employed the negative "poisoned" reference.

I give this the banana...

Gramphos · June 8, 2002, 17:16

I'll stay in both games.

H Tower - You may find that some of the Civ 3 players start taking a closer look at your game. That can only be good for Civ 2

I'll stay in both, probably my activity will focus with this game though.

Hydey · June 8, 2002, 20:58

We might get more people involved if they find it fun

-Jrabbit · June 8, 2002, 21:27

I consider it a tribute to our success in expanding the feeling of community that draws people to Apolyton. I find it hard to think of Markg's action as anything other than that. He's been a strong supporter of our little corner of this site.

It's really no different than adding things like Quick Reply and the Chat Room to 'poly. In essence, he's just expanding the menu of available toys to be found on *his* site. that means more ppl, which means more eyeballs, which means continuing ad support, which means -- Apolyton Lives!

Besides, if the idea

of a democracy game is a good one (which I think this group has shown), it was only a matter of time before a Civ3 version started. (In fact, with no MP option, I'm surprised it didn't start sooner.)

You'll not see me bad-mouthing MarkG. (Besides, he's got my fave avatar on the whole site...)

I go with the elongated yellow fruit on this one.

atawa · June 8, 2002, 22:56

Banana, I'll play both.

cavebear · June 8, 2002, 23:03

Support the banana! Validate it!

H Tower · June 8, 2002, 23:33

time will tell

If MarkG only sees the words "MarkG" and "poisoned" next to each other, you might find yourself getting PCR-ed back to the stone age.

MrWhereItsAt · June 9, 2002, 02:08

Leave to play Civ3?

Over Civ2?

Space05us · June 9, 2002, 03:44

I say doing both could be fun

EDIT: MrWIA shall we go "poison" the Civ3 game with our parties?

MrWhereItsAt · June 9, 2002, 06:52

Well it would be considered a poison if the reaction is as bad as it was (at first) here.

/me rubs hands together in sinister manner.

mrboo123 · June 9, 2002, 09:36

Hi, its been a LONG time since I speaked,but I voted "no" because I don't have, and don't want it (well because it won't work for my computer)

MrWhereItsAt · June 9, 2002, 09:51

You don't need the game to understand what's going on HERE, 123john321. In the Civ3 one they may give the game to everyone, so they might expect all to see for themselves, instead of having the Ministers summarizing for the ppl.

Minister of WAR, not peace.
MrWIA.

Kuciwalker · June 9, 2002, 15:20

I want to do both.

civman2000 · June 9, 2002, 23:41

i'm doing both...though I plan to be a bit less active in both, especially because I'll be gone for a couple of weeks in late june/early july

MrWhereItsAt · June 10, 2002, 00:12

Juding by the mayhem in there, it'll be ages before they even decide whether they have a "Constitution" or not, quite apart from what to put in it!

Space05us · June 10, 2002, 01:06

hehe, I hope they don't make a constitution, but they just aren't listening to reason. (me being reason)

Hydey · June 10, 2002, 05:47

lets work as a team and do it my way

civman2000 · June 11, 2002, 09:51

well, maybe he has...only one post in over 12 hours until this one...

Space05us · June 11, 2002, 10:18

OMG!!! IT'S A MESS OVER THERE!!!

talk about your banana republics

Space05us · June 11, 2002, 10:54

is it okay if I create an off topic discussion thread in the Civ2 demo-forum just to get more people to start posting over here, the deadness is really killing the mood.

I think you will be ok.

When I left CFC to start the GC MP Demo game....the regular one survived. Plus a Civ 3 game has started too.

I mean...you have at least as much determination as CFC and GC players right???

Hywel Dda · June 12, 2002, 19:41

I heard rumours at one point that the powers-that-be at 'poly were treating the Civ2 democratic game as dead. The posting of the new Civ3 game would seem to reenforce that view.
