The Apolyton 100: Comments/Suggestions
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=80699
THE APOLYTON 100
---------------
Well, I promised you it in March, before the April Hall of Fame and here it is- after 4-5 hours spent debugging the thing in the past few days and some last minute emails to prominent apolytoners (although I'm still waiting for information from one whom I asked) I have decided to release it.
Please feel free to comment on the Apolyton 100 here:
And please feel free to PM me any information or post any informatino on posters that you think might be important for the Apolyton 100 here.
Please don't post in the thread (which I will start posting today-- and hopefully will finish posting today- but with the 60 second rule ,that might be too much to ask...
Well, here goes! 
One for the ages...
(I'll post the description below)

The Apolyton 100… now more professional… not just my views and knowledge on them; but reformatted to more state the facts and turn from a small “community” editorial into something more like a historical book, reporting the facts, only the facts, and just the facts…
(Which will hopefully make certain that I am not flamed for my work )
The Apolyton 100- over 70 pages of Data, with usually a full page entry on each Apolytoner. It’s not complete, but it’s as complete as it was possible to do. It represents a gigantic investment of time, but it can be made better- please, if you have any suggestions for improvements, or more information on yourself or others, please post in the companion suggestions thread or email me at ftg3ATlycos.com

Sir Ralph is German. Lives in Bavaria, I believe. He did not jump ship on Poly. He is still very much here. Just not for the ISDG.
Seeker teaches in Korea. ESL I think.
DanS is all over OT. I think he is in Washington, DC.
Skanky Burns. It's his fault.
Velociryx is Canadian? We'd be glad to have him, but I'm fairly sure he is from south of the 49th.
Immortal Wombat is a Kiwi?
MikeH likes sheep.

I post 10 times in a democracy game and is therefore labeled as a democracy gamer 
The fact that the rest of my 2800 posts where all made in the civ2 creation and pbem forums doesnt seem to count 
Also one'd think you'd read the location field before declaring nationality unkown 
Other than that, nice list

Not bad actually DC.

As usual... amazing work, DC.

Just a minor correction. I have nothing to do with the campaign of protest against Infogrames. I don't waste my time playing Civ3

Hate to be a nitpick here, but you have this tendency to misspell my nick as 'Kassiopea'. It's Kassiopeia, with two I's, two, not one. It's after the constellation, and all that. My former username was 'kassiopeia', same as now but not capitalized.

Amazing work I must say! I could never do all that.
P.S. You're missing about 1500 of my posts. I will be the next deity, and I have Ming in my sights...
Oh, by the way... I have under 100 more posts to get into the top 20. That should be taken care of within a few days. So much for 129 days.

Contribution to Apolyton: Stories Contest, NES
Description:
civman2000 was one of the men who got the second stories contest season started in 2002. He ran the session for twelve elections and encouraged budding authors to continue posting. In addition, he ran a history thread on the issue and created revised rules for the contest.
civman2000 abandoned the Stories section in August 2002 when the Never Ending Stories section split off from the Stories section and was moved to the Stories/Diplomacy section, and continues posting in NESes to this day (March 2003). In addition to posting in NESes, civman2000 also actively plays Diplomacy as well as the Civ III intersite democracy game, Civ III, and Civ II democracy games; and is a member of the game NationStates.

No former usernames, no DLs. Real name is Eric Robert W.; I go by "Ricky". Age 13. I still lurk in the Civ3 stories section, I just don't post. I don't play diplomacy nymore, but pretty much no one plays it anymore, the forum for it has been taken over by NESs. A post by me in the Community forum prompted the creation of the Civ the Boardgame forum, which unfortunately has died. I play EU2 and occasionally post in the Paradox Games forum.
Excellent job, DC, I'm honored to make the list.

Tahnk you for the info, notyoueither... although I didn't think I implied that about Sir Ralph, since I know he's still at apolyton, I'll try to correct it so it doesn't seem that way.

Sorry henrik- with all the people who I had no idea what they did, I just said OTer or Demogamer depending on their registration date

Kinda self-contradictionary, isn't it? Though I've played a game or two, I'm not a really an MPer. If you must add anything to my list of activities, I'm more into strategy (I'm by no means another Velocyrix, but I've cracked a few formulas and disected the CtP2 resource system).

Note on Immortal Wombat: I think you should add that he's one of the most important modmakers in the CtP2 community. Graphics and SLIC are his specialties, LOTR and Visible Wonders among his favourite themes...
