	Has MarkG poisoned our Game? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

He's just started a democracy game for civ3, and solicited here for members. My question is, will members of our game leave to participate in the civ3 game instead of finishing this one?

I think this is a bit unfair, considering the support we have received for this game from MarkG and other Apolyton leaders. You could have simply phrased the thread to ask if people would leave, and not employed the negative "poisoned" reference.

I give this the banana...

H Tower - You may find that some of the Civ 3 players start taking a closer look at your game. That can only be good for Civ 2

I consider it a tribute to our success in expanding the feeling of community that draws people to Apolyton. I find it hard to think of Markg's action as anything other than that. He's been a strong supporter of our little corner of this site.

It's really no different than adding things like Quick Reply and the Chat Room to 'poly. In essence, he's just expanding the menu of available toys to be found on *his* site. that means more ppl, which means more eyeballs, which means continuing ad support, which means -- Apolyton Lives!

Besides, if the idea of a democracy game is a good one (which I think this group has shown), it was only a matter of time before a Civ3 version started. (In fact, with no MP option, I'm surprised it didn't start sooner.)

You'll not see me bad-mouthing MarkG. (Besides, he's got my fave avatar on the whole site...)

If MarkG only sees the words "MarkG" and "poisoned" next to each other, you might find yourself getting PCR-ed back to the stone age.

Well it would be considered a poison if the reaction is as bad as it was (at first) here.

Hi, its been a LONG time since I speaked,but I voted "no" because I don't have, and don't want it (well because it won't work for my computer)

You don't need the game to understand what's going on HERE, 123john321. In the Civ3 one they may give the game to everyone, so they might expect all to see for themselves, instead of having the Ministers summarizing for the ppl.

Juding by the mayhem in there, it'll be ages before they even decide whether they have a "Constitution" or not, quite apart from what to put in it!

is it okay if I create an off topic discussion thread in the Civ2 demo-forum just to get more people to start posting over here, the deadness is really killing the mood.

I think you will be ok.

When I left CFC to start the GC MP Demo game....the regular one survived. Plus a Civ 3 game has started too.

I mean...you have at least as much determination as CFC and GC players right???

I heard rumours at one point that the powers-that-be at 'poly were treating the Civ2 democratic game as dead. The posting of the new Civ3 game would seem to reenforce that view.
