Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

historian (according to these guys) will have alot of spin in his text, and a reporter (in real life) will probubly spin the other way (maby making OK things sound OK, and bad things sound like the end of the world!). These guys see a reporter as a speaker of the truth!

What i ment was i'd be quite happy to act as both, by giving out the proganda/spin side of it, and then giving out the 'reporter' style story out a little after.

Anyway, i was planning on having forms for the prez and generals to fill out when they do somthing major! Like launch a nuke, or declare war! Just to make sure that everybody knows it was the persons fault who filled out the form!

I really think people should get the file rather than reports

The historian sums up an entire term, whereas the reporter gives information on a turnchat. The reporter is actually more important, because the citizens get useful information when they need it. It's rather like how it is in real life.

Tired of ads?

If you guys, are going to create that reporter stuff, why not some pics of the game?

Send the pics of the game, the map, the cities and whatever we like to see...

Grrrrrrr, I just looked at this thread and I see now Trip is back to his old tricks .

Listen, if the poll was fair it would have had a: "Let's have a reporter and make the save file available to people who want it"

If you had included that option you would have been shocked at the results. The fact you tried to "bride" people with a good idea disgusts me. That poll was rigged and it won't change anything as far as save file distribution is concerned.

A poll was taken, 76% wanted the .sav to be there if they ever want to take a look, it is over. The only way to overturn that is to have the same options, and I think it was 75% of the original voters Gramphos said...

Nice try though Trip, and be careful you don't go down in Apolyton history as the first impeached prez.

We don't need arbiters, we need people who will accept polls the first time and stop trying to change things to suit them.

If you feel that everyone will always behave in ways that you agree with and that disputes like these will never arise, then good luck to you. I think you'll be disappointed though.
