	Apolytoner's Hall of Fame: What SMACers shall we vote for? Put an end to popups!

Last election Googlie was included into the Hall of Fame because a lot of SMAC votes went to him. It proves that if we work together, pool our votes together, the SMAC community can bring people into the Hall of Fame. Therefore I thought we could try to do the same again this time. Instead of spreading all our votes over different people, let's focus on a few, and try to give them an as high result as possible.

Therefore I started this thread. I think there are lots of SMACers worthy of being included in the Hall of Fame. However we only each have three votes. May I therefore suggest that instead of voting immediately, we first nominate some people here, see what others would vote and support, and based on that information perhaps change one or more of our votes to people with a higher chance of getting a high score?

To begin with, some people I have been thinking about are:

Darsnan, Buster, binTravkin (CMNing), Illuminatus (SMAC roleplay & stories) or Kody (Codicil, general strategy).

Who do you have in mind?

Who were the SMAC runner-up's last time ?

Good idea. Just to throw out some other names, what about Ned, Blake and Fitz for their work in figuring out how eco-damage works?

Since votes from prior elections are carried forward, it might be useful to consider how many votes, if any, our candidates already have. I went through Dark Cloud's list and extracted the names and totals for those whom I recognized from the SMAC forums. Hope I didn't leave anyone out, but feel free to add any I missed

Skanky Burns-76
Jamski-59
Alinestra Covelia-56
Urban Ranger-48
Ogie Oglethorpe-42
Darsnan-36
Snowflake/HongHu-28
Comrade Tassadar-24
Dissident-21
Ned-16
Buster-13
Sikander-12
Hydro-12
Kody-10
GeoModder-9
Blake-8
Flubber-8
Kuciwalker-6
Tau Ceti-3

My one would go for:

1.Kody (kodicil, strategy and the possibility to easy detect cheating )
2.Illuminatus (reorganising the Fiction forums )
3.Chaos Theory (Im not sure yet, but it appears he has discovered some miracle in AI balancing - I just tested his last scenario)

quote: binTravkin (CMNing)

Well, my CMNing practices are being still on an infant stage (but growing up fast), I think I benefit more just by being around and flaming threads..

Anyways, I think Im not yet such an important person here to be voted in.

maybe next time..

Hmm... you're not on the zeroed list (expired) for this round but maybe your votes expired last round? that's the only explanation I can think.

And catapharact, please remember, when the time comes- you need to place those votes in a voting thread, not here

thanks.

Should keep a record of # of nominations? If so, names mentioned:

Darsnan - 4 (36)
Illuminatus - 2 (0)
Kody - 2 (10)
Hydro - 2 (16)
Buster - 2 (13)
Chaos Theory (0)
binTravkin (0)
Ned (16)
Blake
Fitz

In parentheses are the votes they already have atm from previous elections (basing myself on Petek's list).

There's some rule about people losing accrued votes if they get zero in an election or something. Did that happen in your case??

Oh my choices would be

Buster (best player but probably loses out since he mainly runs his own board)
Darsnan ( anyone on this board knows why)

and I would be happy to consider a community choice

I agree with Darsnan and Hydro - but my third vote goes to Allie Cove, for some of the best SMAC-universe fiction written (plus she plays a mean Yang in PBEMs as well!!)

That'd explain it. I don't think I've got a vote since at least 2003.

That's most unfortunate...I considered making my own on freewebs.com, and got about 5 or 6 done, then just completely dropped...I realized that, by the time I got a whole strategy guide done, civ 4 and probably smac 2 would already be out...plus the fact many guides have already been made...

Anyway, I was wondering, I we trying to vote for people who are really, really good at the game, or just those you have contributed a lot?

Alinestera Covelia- she wrote a really long story in AC-Fiction. She also seems to post in the OT from time to time, I think, though I've never seen her there- but she's quite well known in those parts.

SmackSims most popular work is Aldebaran indeed, but in novadays rarely who knows the effort he made in helping the AIs.
From scripting the .txt's to modifying the WorldBuilder.
And what's very important, all his work has been documented to see the ideas and facts behind every decision.

I suggest we vote him in for the next time!

If we don't get more people to vote, we wont vote in anyone this time. Hydro, Darsnan, Smacksim, Buster

Well, I have to say I'm pleased to even be considered! Considering the situation I'm going to decline to offer an opinion (even if there are a boatload of terrific folks at this forum), but will back whoever the forum decides to support.
