I got this in my email yesterday:
I understand that you have given up on your NeoCiv project. This is a damn
shame. I believe you really only require more motivation. Here is a major way
in which Civ2 could be improved:
The South Park Patch
This software patch would make several options available to the Civ2
Multiplayer. Amongst these options are the following:
The South Park High Council - This option would load a different set of High
Council videos which portray the same basic message, except the High Council
members are replaced with the characters from South Park. There is only one
problem I ran into. If you place Cartman in the military seat, Stan in the
science seat, Kyle in the economics seat, and Kenny in the Foreign seat (Who
listens to her anyway?), you are left with an empty Attitude seat. My
solution? You guessed it. Chef.
This option allows for many more comical interpretations of everyturn
happenings. Sometimes, simply changing the voice of the councilmember is
funny enough. Sometimes, however, it seems appropriate to change the script
("Luxuries is like a fine woman...").
South Park Diplomacy- This option would be a bit more challenging to conquer,
but with a little reprogramming would be within reach. When this option is
enabled, the diplomats of various civilizations are replaced with South Park
characters. Obviously, I don't have the time or the resources (i.e. I'm
lazy) to replace every civilization with a character, but I'm sure there's
enough. Some possibilities:
Mr. Garrison: Let's ask Mr. Hat if you can have tribute for your patience-
Mr. Hat: NO! THIS MEANS WAR!
Mr. Garrison: Well, Jeez, if you say so.
Cartman: You are formally invited to witness the awesome power of Pottery...
beefcake... BEEFCAKE!
Cartman: Our words are backed with nuclear weapons... RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!
Cartman: You guys are being sooo immature- move your units away from
Cartmanville.
Kenny: Mmph mmph mmmph mmph mm mmph MPPHHHH!!! (Prepare for war).
The Counceler: Prepare for a message from he who makes mortals tremble, mmkay?
The Counceler: I have important matters of state to attend to, mmkay? You
need to take the rest of the day off for personal reflection- try to improve
yourself, mmkay?
The Counceler: I see you've joined the nuclear club, mmkay. We respect your
deterrant, but our forces remain vigilant- mmkay? Don't make me get angry,
mmkay?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I know that once you've read these amazing concepts, you will immediately
begin contacting your workgroup and notifying them of the good news. I'll
expect to see this NeoCiv thing finished sometime around next week.
-Byron (XIII)
P.S. : I must inform you that I have decided to stop referring to people by
their names. It's too... respectfull. From now on you will be referred to as
XV (Fifteen).
I am XIII. Any use of my given name will be seen as an act of affection and
worship.
==end email==
OK. I have no plans of resurrecting NeoCiv and I'm not sure if Byron, I mean XIII, was joking about everything in here. But I think a South Park diplomacy mod would be cool.
Sign up here if you're interested on working on this.
