Many of the regular PBEM players have left for their summer vacations. that meaning they have moved to their summer mating nests  .
The summer holiday period in Spain is extremely looong, that's one of the few good things this country has to offer . Let's not digress... It means that probably we will not see the whole gang until the end of August. That's because, contrary to the well extended AngloSaxon rite, Spaniards do not carry their computers everywhere. They just forget all about them until they get back home after the vacation period.
At this point, Flip, Fiera, Kindal and Shaka have left. I am afraid Waku will disappear shortly. I will stay though, keeping the Spanish Pavillion as high as I can. Uhm, and Henrik may not be Spanish, but is also gone.
To those who stay: what should we do people? Do we put the games on hold or just carry on w/o the vacationers? Do we enlist new people (hi Chris W Opinions, please?

I think I sent it to Kindal, but I posted it, didn't I?
Doesn't matter, I'll send it again.

PS. Nice line you've added to your sig |
I assume you mean the OT Mod at civfanatics.
I have been, for one week, since last Sunday. I'm also Scenario Review editor, and I wrote some reviews of your scenarios for the site. We haven't poened that part of the site yet, which reminds me of something.
Do you have any screen shots of your scenarios, Jay Bee? I would like to post some with the reviews. Since I plan to review all of yours, shots from any and all would be welcome.
In fact, from all the guys, I would like such shots from any scenario. I don't have the stuff to do get them myself, but I'll give anybody a credit for the shots.

Sun Tzu says it all the time, but not to me, cause he knows I have friends here.
Believe it or not, I can't do that with my system, it never works(for screen shots).
As for ratings, you'll get what ye deserve, me lad! 
But as I recall, the breakdown for the 2 I finished reviewing (Celts, Al Andulas) put them at near perfect scores, and no, not perfect, cause I don't want you getting a swelled head! 
And it would be nice if you posted a line or two, in our forums there. Even Mark and Dan have, and I have no intention of leaving Poly in the slightest, so dual citizenship shouldn't be a problem.
Here, I'm one of many diverse posters, but CFC needs all the quality people it can get, in it's scenario areas and it's general areas also.
Plus, it doesn't hurt to give your work more exposure.
So post something there already!!!

Evan Von Christoph, another 'friend' of the Spanish gang. I got in a few flame wars with him in the past but stopped when realized he was pretty sick (he still is).

OK, I'll send you some then.

Yeah, that's what I noticed. The scenario area needs a bit of 'pedigree'. Most of the posters seem to be relatively new to the business and appear not to be familiar with a lot of good scenarios and scenario tricks. I'd say they seem to constitute the new wave of enthusiastic scenario designers that I talked about in my Apolyton column a few months ago. But they need to look back. Maybe some of us old Apolyton farts could help in that area, you're absolutely right. Now, if they let me use a personalized avatar....

More??? Haven't I received enough attention already? People still nominate me for awards! 
Seriously, I feel that I've been paid for my Civ2 work much more than I ever expected.

Yes, EVC/Cecil (his current handle) is quite bazar.

Why couldn't you have just called the damn thing the Recoquista?!!?
That I could spell!!!

I'm not without influence, and custom avatars might be in the mix...but seroiusly, all the young guys who used to come to the SL are starting to wash up on CFC's shores, and they would greatly benifit from some of the pathfinders. We get a handful of the more experienced (like Kindal, for one), but they could really use some help in this area. And don't forget, civ-3 is just around the corner, and the kids could be the ones that become "The next Generation", as oppossed to your "the original series" guys like you.
I also am considering a little idea called "designer interviews", in which i would ask a series of questions of the more renown designers about (Such as a fellow with the initials of JB, do you know him? ) civ, and why and how they did what they do. Not a lot, just a few paragraphs.

Yes, more.
Everytime someone sees, and plays one of yours for the first time, the game and the hobby become that much stronger.
You can fade into obscurity later, but for now, sieze the moment.
BTW, did you ever get that PM I sent?
