Zulu - he's not. Firaxis chairman is Jeff Briggs.
Alexnm - if AH is Sid, then I can be proud, for I have been into a flamewar with him  .

It couldn't say any worse things about him than his putting fatbabies.com at #1 in his bookmark list does. 
It might be an interesting site for gaming industry news, but it has one of the most childish and idiotic forums I've ever seen.
No wonder he comes here ...

Yeah, sure, the A-team was on there too, but I figured that that's not Apolyton proper...
But ask and thou shalt receive (always nice to see those names together again ):
And just in case you need it, here's Harlan (seperately):

Well, I think we never closed the debate on whether it should stand for 'Apolyton' or 'Alpha' I say both

Since when does apolyton have a 'recognition' page???
Are you wasting time on the front page again, markos
Instead of spending it on the forums and the UNIT STATISTICS!
I want to choose a naval or land unit!

Nice to know our regular abuse of Sid for screwing up Civ III has not been in vain.
I wonder what the real Game God, Brian Reynolds, links are

Uhh, nice CtP 2 credits page. Are we on the Civ 3 credits, too? At the very least, I demand they inculde us in PtW.
BTW, Markos, there's a way to find out what Sid's login here is. Take the email you received from him, find the originating IP, and do a search on that IP in the Panel. Don't be surprised about the results .

Yeah, I saw that city... I've actually built it twice, and conquered once. Such a shame it was a small almost worthless city, that I'd better raze, but I just couldn't .

Nope, 'fraid not. In fact, one of the reasons why I like CtP2 better than Civ3 is because my name is not in the credits of Civ3

Yup, that's me
You might find it interesting to learn that there were as many as 3 (more or less) Dutch people on the A-team, Heuij Paul (yes, our own 'Champions League' Paul), me and Mark Cummings (aka Dutcheese), who is not actually Dutch himself but does live in the Netherlands and has a Dutch wife IIRC...

Creds are fine, but where's the cash? 
Is the Creat Studio credit the same Alex guy who used to spend so much time making the Civ 2 scenarios? I can remember a long ass thread where he and another guy kept flaming each other over the city size of Gibraltar.

Well, we all got a free copy of the game and the strategy guide (that's $50+ the man), and the Activisions did a great job in providing us with a truckload of columns, designer diaries, modification resources and other info and files (all Apolyton exclusives)...

Not as far as I know. Let me put it this way: if so, he didn't get the job through Apolyton The only Apolytoners in the credits are the A-team + Harlan + Markos & Dan.
Well, alva, we did have slightly more *visitors* from Great Britain than usual this month: 4.1% of the total, as opposed to the usual 2-3%. But since the month is only 3.5 days old that doesn't really have to mean anything...
(AFAIK Britain is the only place where one can buy the magazine - it can't be bought here in the Netherlands anyway and you can get a LOT of British/German/American PC/Games magazines here).
