	Welcome Back, Everyone! Support Apolyton

I've just sent out about 60 PM's to a bunch of members of the team. Basically, anyone who I didn't remember as posting a whole lot on the war issue received a PM (sorry if I sent it to you and you've been vocal on the subject... my bad ).

I'd like to see if, with a war coming in a few turns, we can get activity levels back up in here. I'd especially like to see if we can get some input from the wealth of Civ3 playing talent we have around here, but which has drifted off to greener pastures over the past several months of slow play and peaceful building.

With the nation about to go back to war, we can probably use all of the input we can get.

I've also sent out some feeler PMs regarding cabinet positions. Please note that minister and deputy minister positions may be open in various areas. Please inquire by PMing me if you are interesting in helping with ANY of the ministries. I can certainly direct you to the right people if there are any and see about getting you appointed if we don't have them yet.

The thing we need MOST right now is a Minister of War, a Deputy Minister of War, and quite possibly a larger group of people willing to actively provide counsel and advice on military matters. Ultimately, military decisions (of necessity) need to be made by a single individual or body in order to maintain clarity in our operations, but the more people available to provide their own insights and advice, the better. We have such a wealth of talent on the team that I'm hoping we can put it to good use here.

That should be all for now. A warm welcome back to anyone who as a result of my PM is back in this forum for the first time in a while. Now is a most excellent time to be coming back.

- Arnelos

If it fails, it was Trip's fault.

If it succeeds, we all did it together.

So THAT's what you did. A more blatant attention-grabbing exercise I have only once before seen.

I nominate Hot_Enamel for one of the War Ministry positions.

You will note, however, that PM's do NOT increase postcount, contrary to E_T's claims.

I think you mean the other way around...

After all, it was my idea that the rest of you guys bastardized.

Don't look at me, my hotmail account can barely handle 1 of them. We're up to 170-something now.

BF made a slide show, which may help you see what happened. I'm not sure where that got to though. You can also look through the turn report thread. It goes up through turn 120 or so.

Here's the slide show thingy. It's not great but worth a look. Just unzip the folder and run the slideshow executable inside of the folder.

Not sure how many my email can handle at once, but I have every just about every save kicking about on my various computers. It would take a little time and effort to get them all together, but I can send you all of 480-560AD as soon as I get your email.
