aka Sid Meier
you might have heard about this, but in this issue of PC Gamer, under a preview of Civ III: Play the World (which yielded no new info) I found this article, which I would post if I had a scanner, but will type word for word instead:
---------------------
PLAY AGAINST THE MAKER
Want to put your Civilization-building skills to the ultimate test? We'll give you a couple of months after Civ III PTW late-October retail release to get in some serious practice, and then one lucky reader will be able to square off in a multiplayer showdown with none other than Sid Meier, the game's creator. We'll have a couple of other representatives from Firaxis as well as PC Gamer's own Civ III champion, ready for the ultimate battle for global domination.
To enter, just send an email to
civcontest@pcgamer.com and get in some needed practice. We'll inform the randomly chosen winner of the official challenge date, which will be sometime in late January 2003, and in a future issue we'll report the winners and losers, plus who cried and who died. Good Luck.

ok, maybe it is not one on one, but still, what do you think?
