I am basically interested (I am cs guy with focus on evolutionary algorithms (population and neighborhood based metaheuristics), which is related to artificial intelligence), but I don't know if I also have the time.
Anyway, my interest would be more research oriented though.

I have an interesting thought. A while ago, there was an idea to implement some sort of reward system, but it was never followed through. For the people who don't want to compete, they could just post as such in their DAR. The Course Creator and I could be the judges, for instance. The different types of rewards are endless, such as most creative DAR, or most Machiavellian.

Will there be 'standard' scenarios for we slackards who don't want to be bothered by downloading a mod? Especially at first, I need to learn the game first.

It's a bit premature, I think, to begin discussing the AU mod for CIV: surely it will take a while to become familiar with the game, and I would argue that crafting the AU mod should require a bit more than "familiarity".

Just to clarify, the Apolyton University produces two things:

1. A set of shared games ("courses"), not unlike the GOTMs.

2. The AU mod.

The first of these is by far the most important! In other words, there's no need to worry about the AU mod if you're thinking about participating in AU.

A nice dean the AU has indeed. So friendly and calm.

Other than you I don't sport an AU icon or the signature "Apolyton University Dean". So naturally I am not doing anything for it, since I have been not a part of it after you became "dean", sonny. I have been in before that, however.

I think the AU is an excellent way to get some hands-on "training" of important aspects of the game in a focused situation; they were great for me. Of course, we'll have to figure out what the important aspects of the new game are, first

I was thinking of something more creative, for example, what MZO used to do in their scenarios. Awards such as:

Most Machiavellian

Best MM

etc.

What was a bit much, to ask a simple, polite question, the subject of which can be easily proven? Of course, the rude reaction of your leader shows, that truth hurts. Besides, to call me names does not make it any less true.

The fact remains, that I haven't seen any threads other than "What I wish to do in the future" (about every six months) by Lord Nuclear, while all the work in the Apolyton University has been continuously done by Dominae, Nathan and alexman, the true Deans, and you as the chief enthusiast, of course. A simple browsing of the forum will prove this.

I agree with you, when you say, that everyone disappears at times. This is normal in games and fora. However, if somebody is trusted with an office he is not going to fill for a long period of time, the natural thing to do would be to step down. A simple example, in another game (a MMORPG) I have been trusted leadership of one of the largest guilds on the server and did my best to do my work for several months. About four weeks ago I felt my interest in this game waning. The first thing I did was to promote a successor and to step down from my office. I did so out of respect for the guild, and because felt, that my friends deserve better than an inactive leader.

The last part of your statement is true, however. This thread is a positive thing, even though I predict, that it will be the only thing to hear from Lord Nuclear for, say, the next six months. I would be positively surprised, if I could be proven wrong this time and wish the Apolyton University a good start into Civ4.

I'd also like to point out that up until recently, I did not have C3C: Conquests, because I didn't have a PC. People knew this, but didn't seem to care, or atleast didn't want to have to be the AU Dean. What do you want me to do, use my magical powers to install C3C on my Mac?

This would explain it indeed (I for one didn't know it) and a short and calm statement in response, instead of calling names and crying wolf, would have done wonder and saved trouble. I am glad to hear, that your technical difficulties are over and am looking forward to your continuous leadership in the future.

Those were fun, IMO.

I recall fondly going specifically for certain things in those games. Gave me something to shoot for on games I knew I was going to win (once I hit that point I rarely finished games).
