Hey how about some better attribution of news stories Got spare money?

The report that Civ III will not have cities on mountains was the third occasion on which a Firaxis staffer has revealed something about the game on one of my threads - but I haven't been acknowledged in any of the news stories which resulted on the Civ III page.

I also happened to have campaigned for this latest news on the Civ III and Civ II forums, sparking a huge debate.

What am I? The invisible poster?

Hey, when Brian Reynolds replied to my initial post on a thread about borders, and announced to the world that Civ 3 would have em, did you see me crying for accolades?

Well, maybe a little, but nothing like this.

Ya right... Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Hey, thanks for the oportunity to tell everyone again about my little chat w/ my buddy Brian.

Hey Horsie, I see w/ this mountain/city bit that you're starting to become helpful to the public, very nice.

A little unusual for a middle level civil servant, but what the heck...

Congrats, nice job btw.

Did you report the news story? Nope. No credit, then. Simple enough...

Now AH -- when people visit a thread that resuled in a corresponding news item, and I'm certain most people do in these instances, they will clearly see who started the thread in question.

Tada! Credit received.
