Use HTML tables if you quote my post you will see my code (I think) and be able to copy it.
I thought about sorting the list in any way, but couldn’t decide if I should sort in alphabetically or categorized. Result: Still unsorted .

quote: btw, what is the Eternal China Syndrome ?

I don't know. I just took all listed here.

AFIK The China Syndrome is the expresion used for a special kind of nuclear accident - something like the core is melting and goes thru the Earth to the other part (from US to China). I saw that in a old movie with Michael Douglas, called "The China Syndrome"

As Far As I Know, it relates to the Civilization model (every version) where the winner will usually be the player who develop his/her civ lasting forever and ending as big as possible, a role in real world only China can fit.

Actually, I'm not the one that updates the list in most cases, Lemmy does that. I just change the layout of it, and no Names that not have been listed here, and I haven't added myself are in the list. It is still being updated.
