Dear All, hi there!
This is my very first posting in these forums.
Since I am going to stay here awhile let me introduce myself, if you don't mind.
I am LX. (enough of my anonymous and unremarkable self for the start, can add only that I was playing "Sid Meyer's Civilization" long before Mr. Gates realised that "do it fast" pays more than "make it reliable"
Why I am here?
I came across Apolyton (what's in that name - virtual Apolitisized society?) while searching for the answer to very annoying problem - CivCTP crashes. They kept torturing me for millenia, usually just after it was becoming clear to AI as well as to me that I will become the greatest of all emperors on this tiny planet. Oh, I was so envious of those lucky ones who hated CTP from the first glance and did not know the pain of reloading game dozen times trying to change the fluctuations of history to avoid another time-trap. Oh yes, I've found the patch, I brought it home, I installed it, I launched the game. It did not start. I restarted PC. It did not start. I reinstalled CTP. I've found the guy with the same problem who already sought the answer here at Apolyton. He did not help me, but he spared me from reinstalling my complete Windows system. I tried everything and I failed.
Now I am content. I have found cure to my sorrows. Now I read Civ threads. Seriously, I praise the circumstances that brought me here. This is a community to which Civ's developers listen, and that makes a hell of difference. Now I can [hope to] share my experience and ideas with the guys who will [occasionally] listen to me. Do you understand what does it mean to have a 10-years' worth of hidden love and almost nobody to understand let alone appreciate it? I have so-o many cool ideas I want to share... Pity that almost all of them had been already expressed here ("I wrote a wonderful play last week, but today I've found the same play was written by Shakespear some years before..." . But somehow I feel that I can bring some refreshment here.
By the way, how about an idea of establishing separate forum, or sort of FAQ, for members to introduce themselves? To let people say who they are and what in Civ games they like and what they don't? That way people here would become more personalised. On the other hand, given described personalities and gaming preferences, this would provide a source for analysis of gamers' profiles and lead to the End of Civ Split and to the Great Civ Unification. Imagine initial Civ setup that leads user through a questionnary to build his psychological portrait and adapt game defaults accordingly! A joke (is it?).
OK, here I am. Do you accept me?

Oh thanx guys!
Better did it in OT, you say? Well, I considered that. BUT,
1. you started replying the next day after my post. And where are the posts in OT the next day? U C.
2. I did not want to give competition to wonderful subjects found there. See for eg. this: "Would Chinese nuke US if they build SDI?" I really appreciated phrase that "Russia still can make a glass out of US..." May I suggest an alternative? Say, "US can still fry all bears in Siberia"?
Or was it in some other forum? Peeked there to check, found "Who do you think killed Kennedy, John F?"...
<15 minutes later>
Well, I am back. Do you see why I was scared of writing to OT? I would have to take a vacation to post one message.
3. The 3rd reason is, I wanted to make a suggestion (about new forum, remember?) and to be sure that at least somebody will have time to think on it seriously.
But don't trust me when I promise not to tap into OT

There is a song in Russian: "He passed her in the street and turned around to check whether she turned around to check if he had turned around to look at her". And U speak about complexity!

Hey LX. On behalf of the Apolyton CS administration, welcome to our corner of the Web 
As for a "Hello" forum... I think that this forum will suffice for this purpose (as well as the "CivII General / Community Forum).

Hi there!
To Empress: it must be one of those strange coincidences, but just before your post I've looked at your site. You are very nice! You ask what does LX mean? Do you think I went to the pains of thinking it up just to give the explanation away? No way (sorry
To DanQ: It is not important what forum to use for introductions, it would be nice to collect them in one place like "My first post". It won't take that much place.
To Drow: Hi Drow. You should find more serious tests to check who I am. "Probka" (no need to use 2 b's) is a cork. Or a traffic jam. Anybody could type www.yahoo.com, then probka in the search field and have the answer in a second.
To Kumiorava: Tell me where is that place Karjala (Kuriles? Karelia?) and I'll give you an educated guess whether there is a chance of a sales session. My personal view is that having extra land never hurts.
Well, folks, that's all for now. Sorry for my long silence. I feel myself awfully, and I won't write for a while. I have buried my dad yesterday, and it is not a silly joke.
