The OLD List of Thread Masters and Their Topics Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

In case you don't know, I'm Yin, the organizer of "The List of Ideas for Firaxis." As with any organizer, however, I'm useless without something to organize, and that's why I put out the call for Thread Masters--people who have agreed to share a great deal of their own time on a specific topic related to Civ3's development by gathering gamer feedback and periodically summarizing the discussion (and pointing out problems, concerns, etc.). I, in turn, will take all the sublists the Thread Masters generate and make THE MASTER LIST that will be sent to Firaxis (approximately each month as the list grows.) The first list will be sent at the end of June.

Anybody interested in becoming a Thread Master for the lists should look here first. If a topic is already taken, please just work closely with the current Thread Master--you will be given credit for your work, of course. If you have a new topic you'd like to start, please e-mail me first.

My thanks again to those who have already become Thread Masters, and I encourage even more people to step up and become Thread Masters if they have a good topic, time, patience and passion to make sure we give Firaxis the best possible chance of making the Civ3 WE want to see.

(Per Octopus' good suggestion, I will add e-mail addresses to this list later today. If anything is in error, please tell me.)

A good explanation of the UBB "email" code is given here:

apolyton.net/forums/ubbcode.html

Basically, just surround an e-mail address with the "email" code like this:

[emale]tfs99@sirius.com[/emale]

Only spell "email" correctly (no dash either)!

HTML is very powerful. But, with great power comes great responsibility. It is possible to mangle a thread with improper use of HTML.

Ming, isn't the time far behind us that we didn't dare to publish our personal stuff at the internet ? Even my home adress and phonenumber can be found online lately. Or do you have enemies ?

I think you should open up a hotmail addy then, and use that for public purposes, but how can you operate online without an e-mail addy ?

--------------

I see there's a City Improvements - treath and a "New Ideas" discussion missing.
And then I mean new ideas that don't fit in any of the other discussion, because they're totally new.

I volunteer to manage one, or both of these lists.

Yeah, the reason I don't have my E-Mail open on the Forum is so noone will E-Mail me if I don't want them to. The Forum gives more than enough publicity. E-Mail won't really make any difference, 'cause you have to go on the internet to get it anyway, and you can get here just as fast.

Cybershy: I respect Ming's reticence. I know how easy it is to "cross-reference" available information to get the information I want, so I understand why Ming wishes to protect that information. Also the spam factor. I have received unwanted e-mail because I kept my e-mail public.

I take the Hotmail approach, but really, if someone got really pissed at me for something I said on the forums (real or perceived), they could find me "uncomfortably" easy.

JT and MING:

The times that I have found e-mail most helpful in this situation is when somebody wants to suggest something to me privately for whatever reason. Of coure, my e-mail was setup with Hotmail just for "fun" purposes, so I can walk away from it if I want to.

At any rate, please feel free to not provide an e-mail; however, can you please send me an e-mail (again?) so at least I can contact you as needed?

Tired of ads?

I want to second everyone's suggestion that getting a Hotmail account is the perfect solution for having an accessible e-mail account, but keeping it separate from your "real" e-mail. This is what I have done.

E-mail is important. As has already been suggested, it allows for private communication. It also guarantees that you, in particular, will see a particular message. If I have something I need to say specifically to Ming or JT (I don't ) then I would know they got the message if I sent them e-mail. If I just posted, I would have to wait and hope. It is just easier. The hardest part about getting a hotmail account is coming up with a name and password.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Not that I want to sound cool,
but:

I'm co-leader of ¿ The Riddler's Club ? (http://www.riddlersclub.com / member db= http://members.riddlersclub.com (created by me))

This club has over 500 members, and there are about 100 clans (you know, 7 guys that downloaded some hack-proggies) that are yealous at the success of our club. Because our club hires a server and a domain name etc. we ask our members to donate. To let members donate, they need my home-adress. That's just onlin for public.

When a few months ago there was another clan that "Hacked down" computers of people that didn't got any knowledge about computers, I putted all MY info online, everything, and I dared those people to hack me down, instead of people that are easy to hack down. Dang, no-one even dared to try.

I've been hacked one time totally down, 4 weeks ago by Back Orofice, but again, that was because I turned of my BO-shield for one month, and that can happen to everyone.

To make a long story clear, I've loads of enemies. (well, the club has, nobody has anything personal against me) and all my info is available online, though in the 3 years I'm at the internet I never experienced problems.

Of course I'm spammed 4 times a day, but who cares ? I've a cool delete button that works in ,5 seconds. And that spamming is because I'm in several mailing lists and newsgroups.

Of course I respect it when you don't want to make your e-mail public. But I just want to make clear that there's nothing to fear. Your name is in the telephone book as well ;-)

======

I disagree that "New Ideas" and "Other" are the same. New ideas is about concepts that's never thought about (like me semi-turn idea, in example) while other is more about all current civ-topics that don't really fit in any of the other treads. But, well, maybe I'm wrong.

My mail to Yin is on the way.

I see your point better now. Yes, in fact, I have invited Rong to Thread Master a "Radical" thread here (at the request of our friendly neighborhood Freddz), but I still haven't heard from him yet. If you can hang on a day or two until I investigate that further, I'd like to invite you to do that as well if you have LOTS of time.
