	Apolyton Hall of Fame: Civ2 community should unite and fight together for its members Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

This thread is result of reading a thread at OT about HoF in which someone stated that smaller communities should organise to force their candidates.
I propose that we chose 3 guys on which we vote.
For example,
next month, we can vote for
Harlan
Stefan
Alex Mor
And each month, we vote them in the same order.
When one of them becomes a member of HoF, we elect our new candidate.
Of course, it will take time...
Perhaps we can merge with some other community in our voting efforts; then, we would take 1 guy from each community.
(I am not sure about joining forces with Spaniards, however.).
There are a lot of people that deserve to be there,
but, after a lot of doubt, I decided my propositions are:
Stefan - one of the most polite and pleasant members of our
community. Author of many quality scenarios.
Harlan - I am not a fan of His scenarios. Jesus Balsinde is the
master of mine. Still, He is a civ2 legend somehow, He has
chances to gain popularity, so I chose Him.
Mercator - there are several people that contributed to Civ2 in
similar way. The reason why I chose Him, though, aside
personal sympathy, is that He is still active here. And we
want to keep it all alive.

You can laugh at this, but I think it is very important. We can not let people forget civ2, and this may be a reason to refresh their memory or tell people, that this site is not only Civ3, Ctp and plans of Civ4.




btw
Damn.
I opened my laptop, and then came the dog bugging me for a walk. So I went. When I returned, there was this funny smell...
It turned out that when I opened my laptop, it reached the lamp, which was very hot already... No injury to the computer itself, but it looks ugly
Damn, dumb me.

But I like yaroslav, his CIVDIP programs have been a huge contribution.

And what about Exile? His scenarios are classics!

Patient English for Colonies I thru IV and the Bonapartes as well as Hellas.

I do agree your selections are good but we may have to do a poll and pick the top three.

That's exactly what I want.
If I thought I am able to force You all to obey me, I would've chosen someone else

I do not make a good candidate for anything.

I have no sense of tact, no diplomacy, and am entirely too self-centered to be a representative of anything anywhere.

But thanks for the compliment.

It's good to be classical.

Maybe this is why we would pick you.

Excellent idea, Heresson!

From some of your posts, that might be true...

And nonetheless you would make a brilliant candidate for that election!

YOur scens are really amazing! If I were able to make half as good ones, I might well be as "protective" of them as you are !

Isn't the hall of fame just a back-slapping exercise for the OT posters?

OK. Give 3 candidates or tell me which other forum I should ask for cooperation.

I'm not entirely sure what to think of the HoF. It's indeed very much an OT affair. That obviously won't change if we all kinda shun it... Then again, I don't know if that's a bad thing. It's the Apolyton Hall of Fame after all, not the Civ2 Hall of Fame.

There are plenty of Civ2 people who've made large contributions but have disappeared since, or those that simply aren't/never were that active at Apolyton. For instance, I don't know if Alex Mor ever even registered here. Not only that, the Civ2 community itself is widely divided. Especially the civ2 strategy and creation communities seem to be rather far apart.

But Heresson, the HoF isn't a monthly vote. I'm not sure what system there is behind it (if there is any). I think it's just 3 times a year or something. Whenever DarkCloud posts the thread in any case.

Thanks for the mention though. Your frog thread alone might get you a place in the HoF.

Thank You
But while some liked my frogs very much, several people say I'm a kitschy person now
We can unite with Strategy forum!
It's Apolyton Hall of Fame, and Apolyton is Civ2 too.

By the way, do You know something about dvd recorders?

Start with this list:

Harlan
Stefan
Alex Mor
Exile
Yaroslav
Patient English

Then let people comment and add names for the next month or so.

Then we take all the names and start a poll. The top three vote getters are the three we all promise to vote for.

If you want to make the HOF less of an "Isn't the hall of fame just a back-slapping exercise for the OT posters?", then thats a plan that can ensure at least the CIV 2 world voices are being heard.

We should posts links to this thread in all the CIV 2 forums and hope we can get a consensus across the entire community to vote for three out of the CIV 2 community.

I dont think we will get enough out of the Scenario League alone to make a huge difference.

The biggest rift I see in the communities would be the Vanilla CIV2 guys vs the Scenario CIV2 guys. If we could get those two loosely organized groups to work together would could vote just about any three in relatively quickly.

Comments?

More candidates for the initial poll?
