Apolyton Hall of Fame: May 2003

DarkCloud · May 10, 2003, 21:21

4th Post down from here contains VOTING RESULTS!

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Apolyton Hall of Fame!

What is it?
The Apolyton Hall of Fame (HoF) is a list of people who contributed a lot to the community here on Apolyton. For example: Xin Yu was inducted in the HoF for his incredible strategy and MP contributions to the Civ2 section, yin26 for his fantastic work on 'The List' with suggestions for Civ3. Every member of the Hall of Fame has made great contributions to Apolyton and the Civilization community - these people and their accomplishments must be remembered by us all!

If you don't recognize many names you probably haven't been here very long and/or hardly ever post outside this forum - in that case this HoF might be a good opportunity to learn something about them. That is why this Hall of Fame was created: to remember and learn.

Periodically, we hold a vote for the Apolytoners who we think contribute the most to Apolyton, the ones who make Apolyton what it is. The winners shall be inducted in the Hall of Fame and their names will live forever in the annals of APOLYTON!

History
The idea for the Hall of Fame was born in late 2000 as an outgrowth of the old Apolyton Army and Apolytoner of the Season Contests, seeking to honor the people of Apolyton in a more meaningful and structured way.

The first edition was held in the Off Topic in December 2000 over a period of 3 days and is currently archived. The first election saw Markos and Dan, the owners and administrators of this site, and the first 10 posters inducted.

Since then, the HoF vote has been held roughly 4 times a year with 11-14 total members being elected every year. Up until August 2002, the vote was held only in the Off Topic forum - from that time on it has been posted in other sections (first in Civ3, later also in SMAC, CtP1-MP, CtP2, etc).

Special Thanks/Why we do certain things:
Ming for archiving the first thread and helping manage the thread in its early days.
As per suggestion by MOBIUS, the last vote's are carried onto the next votes.
As per suggestion by Solver, all previous votes are carried onto the next votes.
As per suggestion by Martin Guhman, December votes are extended till 6 days.
As per suggestion by Locutus, introduction revised.

This edition
Welcome to the May 2003 edition of the APOLYTON HALL OF FAME

(4 Members to be inducted this session)
(Only 12 total will be elected this year)
You have approximately 4 days to vote (until Wednesday/Thursday).

Please vote today and elect some of your brethern to join the historic Hall; consisting of such hallowed names as Adam Smith, DanQ, MarkG, Giant Squid, St Leo, Ming, Snapcase and more.

So now is your chance to decide: who should be inducted in the HoF this time? Celestial_Dawn for this pioneer work in modding CtP1? WesW for his work on both MedMods, JohnT, the former Apolyton Librarian? Googlie or Hydro for their extensive work in AC Fiction and Multiplayer, Hexagonian for his Cradle accomplishments? Or maybe orange for the Apolyton Yearbook? Or perhaps Fez for his amusing rants? It's up to you, now: Remember, your vote counts! And you only have 4 days in which to make it count!

Notice:
This is a satellite thread: you may vote here, but the votes won't be updated in this thread- instead, they will be updated in these threads: OT http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=85641, Civ III http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=85640 Because they proved to be the most popular voting locations.

1) Rules for voting

Everyone can vote for 3 posters

Registered In/Before 1999- 4 points per vote
Registered In 2000- 3 points per vote
Registered In 2001- 3 point per vote
Registered In 2002- 2 points per vote
Registered In 2003- 1 point per vote

-You may not vote for yourself.
-All ¡¥frivolous¡¦ votes are thrown out.
-Giving your vote to someone merely because they ask is considered a frivolous vote.

No vote changing once you have voted for someone; unless you accidentally voted for someone already in the hall.

You may only vote once in the hall of fame (for 3 people) IF you try to vote more than once ALL of your votes will be made void.

Time Limit for voting is: 4 Days Roughly¡KUsually when the voting starts dying down.

2) Amendments

a) Purgings

Members will be purged from the voting rolls if they received 0 new votes in the month of election. This allows the hall to keep up-to-date, and keeps it from having to reset completely every month. Thus, the hall worthy posters will continue to garner votes day in and day out because their contributions to Apolyton are timeless.

3) FAQ:

Trust me, an on-topicer will never win ¡§

What about Xin Yu? What about Velociryx? Both good posters who are currently in the hall!
And remember, many of these ¡¥mostly-OT posters¡¦ used to be huge on-topic posters back around 1998-99!

Disclaimer:

The Hall of Fame is based on whoever people vote for, and as Lazarus and the Gimp stated so eloquently: ¡§"The compilers of this list cannot rule out the possibility of inductees being a bunch of utter ****s" Thus. Please. Don¡¦t shoot the messenger.

¡§Where is the Hall of Fame usually posted?¡¨

From December 2000 to August 2002, the Hall of Fame had only been posted in the Off Topic forums; with occasional forays into the Apolyton/Community section. However, nowadays you can find the Apolyton Hall of Fame in the OT (main) Civ III (main) and with satellite threads that link into the hall of fame in the following sections: CTP II MP, AC-General, Alt.Civ section-„³Clash of Civilizations (b/c it has 2nd most posts in alt.civ), Civ III DemoGame sections.

Also, the Hall of Fame is currently lobbying to become a news item.

¡¨How long is voting?¡¨

Voting will continue for roughly 4 days.
In December; voting will be 6 days.

Why Do People who received no votes last time expire

Their votes expire and they are zeroed and kicked off the list because they were not found to be interesting at the time of the last vote or two. This is done so as to keep the hall clear¡K

This new process certainly keeps the hall current (a la Major League Baseball¡¦s Hall of Fame)

I was recommended not to carry over votes at all, but will continue that tradition, at least for this election because of the idea that we don¡¦t just want ¡§flavor of the month¡¨ posters elected. We want people who have contributed over a long period of time.

UnOrthOdOx, a true legend, no needs explanations...

GePap, for his posts at OT forum...

UberKrux, Nye, MWIA and Spiffor deserve this honor as well... but only three, right? So, I picked the 3 (of 7) names from a hat... (I mean it!)

E_T · May 11, 2003, 11:42

Trip - for his contruibution in getting the PTWDG working again (and his effort to make a new senerio for us from the old one).

alexman - for his CivIII Corruption formula and FAQ and for his efforts in the Apolyton University

Quite fitting for the election of the 46th,47th,48th,49th and 50th members!

Trip is tied for fourth in the most popular, while UnOrthOdOx is just a bit out, tied in 17th place with DarkCloud

Trip (For his excellent work and going over and above being the PTW Historian).

BetaHound (For his excellent and very humorous job as Vox's Minister of Information).

UnOrthOdOx (For his excellent story-telling ability).

ZargonX · May 11, 2003, 23:58

Trip
Vondrack
UnOrthOdOx

Master Zen · May 12, 2003, 00:26

Damn, I was feeling really bad about not voting for UnOrthO... but he seems to be getting a lot of support, I hope he makes it. If not, he has one vote assured in the next HOF voting

rush · May 12, 2003, 03:50

1. alexman 2. UnOrthOdOx 3. Trip

MrWhereItsAt · May 12, 2003, 09:16

1. UnOrthOdOx - because he damn well deserved to be there last time and I will vote him every time until he is there.

2. vondrack - what a Consul! And we have him to thank for those AWESOME reports in the ISDG, and now for the map brutally pirated from those reports in the 2nd Demo game.

3. cavebear - Somehow has become the father of the Civ2 Democracy game - didn't start it, but has been there the whole way through and even when not a Minister/President he leads the way for us.

Yes, there are many others..

Perhaps we can have a Hall of (just about) Fame for everyone's 4th, 5th and 6th choices?

Shiber · May 12, 2003, 09:40

1. nbarclay - for putting a lot of effort having done an amazing job IMHO for team Gathering Storm in the PTWDG.
2. vondrack - for doing the turn-by-turn reports in the ISDG (admirable dedication would be an understatement).
3. Master Zen - for creating a proper refugee camp while Poly was down, and for being the coolest moderator ever (though not on Apolyton).

SCG · May 12, 2003, 09:56

Solo - for continuing the work of samson on Civ II Trade, and for early landing theory

Scouse Gits - past work for the Civ II great library, more recently with Civ II succession games

Cavebear - Civ II Democracy games

Dominae · May 12, 2003, 10:28
