Civilization Creation Petition, Please Read
many people have great ideas for civ, but they are posting them in different areas. apolyton HAS a special form for this, but no one notices it.

please read and post in this thread if you agree.

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=85667

Quote:
I believe that the "Civilization Games General/Future" forum should be renamed to something like "Civilization Game Development: Ideas and Discussion", and to be seen at the immediate top of the forum (ie, in front of BHG's right now).

this would make the forum more noticable to people in general, more specifically the newer people, who dare not venture below the Civ3 Forum groups.

The flow of ideas is rampant, from many sources, in many different areas. This forum was created to provide a place for all these ideas to be brought forth and examined, discussed, and decided upon. In short, this form would be a real time wish list for the major gaming companies to look at when proposing their next games, or for the indepedent developer to come to and discuss his game.

This forum also deserves it's own Moderator, or at least, to be assigned an official one so that lists of major topics can be topped, etc.

Simply put, this forum can change the future of Civ-like games, if the people can find it easily.

So, I have created this petition. Please post in here if you believe that the actions above should be taken by the owners of Apolyton. If you have any input, go ahead and give it. if you don't but like the idea, just post with your name as the message. If you don't like the idea, please do not post in this thread.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposition.
please post your "signature" there and not here, but feel free to bump this if it falls to the bottom.

Ming :
I think it is good to see if the idea is supported or not. Had Uber PMed Markos directly, Markos would have never known whether Uber was alone to want this or not. Thanks to this petition, Markos will be better able to judge if this change will make the forum more pleasant for a majority of people or not.

(I agree a poll is better than a etition to this effect, but a petition allows us to get cheap +1s )

A petition is always good - perhaps this could lead to a new "list" being formed. I'm with Uber's proposal

All of you idea people should definitely pay a visit to the Civilization General / Future forum. I have just discovered it recently, and it is very interesting (this is the Forum Uber is asking to top).

So far, only older posters go there, and we don't have the input of new posters except altF18.
