Yes - it is a private forum - set up on Apolyton by Apolyton, to support a demo game consisting of 6 teams, umpteen players, and likely to last for some time. This game is an Apolyton community effort. It has come about because of collective will, and yes, compromise at times.

well this is looking better from a purely technical point of view.

you do need to understand that we are actually a well named team, Blood(y obstinant and unforgiving) Oath Horde

so some internal chat is under way at this time

Nope its not roleplay Beta and neither is it the other option you gave, as Ive said this is not going to happen so discussion over.

If the sites owners feel that i am breaking some kind of rule then Im happy to hear their thoughts, but in the end we will just hold our discussion somewhere else if we cannot get our privacy here.

Well, we haven't had a little dust-up like this in quite awhile.

I don't really understand your opposition to this. Paddy has already stated his reason and we've responsed and now he's thinking it over. Please explain your personal reasons why we should not have game admins having access to all forums. All you've done so far is say "it's private now STFU". To put it bluntly, that's how I see your posts so far and I don't think they've added anything to this discussion.

In any case, I'm leaving for the weekend. Hopefully this will all be sorted out by the time I get back.

I hate putting things this way, but Chrisius, have you ever been part of a democracy game before? I have. I've been part of 5 before this one. Having a game admin with access to forums has only ever been a help, and it's never been a hindrance to any team's discussion abilities in their forum.

It is not a matter of breaking rules - as far as I know - there are none that really exist around this sort of thing. It is a matter of accepting what it is best for the game and those involved as a whole. That is what we are discussing.

I agree. That is why I say forget about the forum monitoring and history thing, and just make sure we have a way of fixing things if and when we need it.

Chrisius - and Paddy.

I want to apologize for the "edginess" of my posts of yesterday. Chrisius - I still stand by my position and the proposed compromise, but I was somewhat personal in my responses. I'm sorry.

And for my inappropriate post in response to Paddy's typo, I apologize not only to Paddy, but to all on this forum.

I have edited some of the material from yesterday.

As I stated, I just thought this had become standard practice by now...you know, since all other poly games have done it...

No offense meant by the request, nor is any taken by the responses. "it's alright, I understand..."

Well thank you Beta for your post........

But i will not budge, I do not want any one who is not a devoted member of our team in our teams private forum and no amount of debate will change this position.

We do not need any assistance from any one to understand the mechanics of this game and we are all fully aware of what is considered cheating/exploititive.

if a team was determined to cheat they would indeed find away to do so, having mods pouring through their threads in their private forum would hardly form any obstacle to determination.

Also I think we are quite capable of reporting any issues here in the open forum.

There is absolutely no reason for any neutral person to need access to our forum, none at all.

Finally I will withdraw from this game if you people do, not back off from this, at least then you will all be able to live with the situation and get on with the game.

Still I´d like to hear your reason for this decision (which I accept). I mean, you proved there´s no reason to let mods in, but till now there´s also no reason to not let them in.

What do you fear will happen if mods were to visit your private forum? (I´m only curious, because you´re having such a firm opinion on that)...

Thanks for answering

I have long had an interest in the demogames...just not the time or skill to participate. I actually came here to see if someone would let me observe the inner workings of a team by letting me in their forum. It appears that this is a much more serious issue than I first realized. Nonetheless, I would like to simply watch and learn should any of the teams see fit to consider my request.

PLATO - if Babylonia strikes your interest, you are more than welcome.

But if another team draws your interest and is willing, we understand.

Are you familiar with civ3?

Unless they've changed how the control panel works recently, I don't have access to modship, no.

From what I can tell, you get a little dropdown list below the quick reply box and to the left (or right, on some profiles). Is that different?

Thanks Beta. I am very familiar with Civ3, PTW, and C3C. The threads that you have posted here about Babylonia do interest me. I am more familiar with Paddy's and Chrisius's style as I have followed some of their PBEM threads. I have asked to join their group. Assuming that no one in their group has an objection, I think I will go that direction. Should there be an issue though, I would like to revisit your invitation if that is acceptable to you.

PLATO, you have to be member of a team. You'll be just lurking like most of the people around.
At some point you'll start to be more active or even you may start role playing. I think the blood horde are the right team for someone with RPG wishes

Thanks for the advice ormuzd! It looks like The Blood Oath Horde is my new home. Thanks Paddy and team for letting me join.

Just one question...The initiation doesn't involve a goat does it?
