Petition to free Markos from military service.....
....because there are more important things to do, eg.
...to fix up Poly. Am I the only one who experiences growing access ("server too busy"  ) and speed problems during recent days?
Or is it just a new wavewith lots of registrations related to new games like RoN?

He speaks the truth. Only this morning I had to wait ten full minutes before 'Poly even let me into the forums. It said it was giving priority to registered members (such as myself) but it still said it was too busy. Alas!

I have quit visting Poly that actively as there's no point trying to get around here as it's so slow. If it speeds up sometime in the future, then it's a different story.

According to insider info, server has received a kick in the butt and stuff should work normally now. Does for me  .

Mine's still back and forth but it's fairly early. Usually I get the slow down around lunch time. I'll reserve judgement until then.

'Poly seems to be fine at the moment. It reminds me of when Civ 3 had just come out - I had to avoid 'Poly from about 9am US time as it slowed to a crawl.

No, I believe in mandatory military service. It provides many positive aspects.

I don't support this petition. Me and Ming have a plan to take control of this site without any interference. Sorry, rah, we would tell you later about this.

hi ,
Markos could always be rescued ( surprise no-one has tought about that yet ) and put to a country without and extradition treaty , ...
 , Israel would be great , ....
actually we could start a petition and ask the Greek military and gov to put him in an office at the MOD in Athens with adsl or so , .... 
loads of things can be achieved in Greece if you do it the "right" way , ......
have a nice day
panag calls regina and asks for help

I always wondered what would happen if apolyton would give priority to earliest registered members in times of site downtimes xx
I wonder if that could become a future option... or would it be too elitist?
(using xx instead of smilies to help speed up server xx)

And it would be damn good to teach army a lesson. It does indeed serve a few bad purposes, too.

Yes, to be successful you must milk and cater to your existing customer base. But any company that ignores the needs of the new customers is doomed in the long run.

Technically... all the mods and staff members have priority on the server when it slows down... Didn't seem to help my access much the last few days
