Take reps from each section, and do them one at a time.

They should have done something to be worthy of hearing from, and they all don't have to be super long.

For example, there are a lot of civ-3 mod makers, talk to one of them.

A civ 3 modmaker is next on the list. He's also a SMAC player at the same time.

Length... not defined by me, generally. Some people, like Dan, just love to talk .

What is worthy to do, in your definition? Is helping make mods and helping the whole CtP community enough?

quote: Originally posted by Rasbelin I actually recently saw Ming's submission to a HoF for Civ II on Deity level. The submission was from 1998. There's indeed sites left from 1996 and 1997 (= no updates since that), but only a few of them are "working" in the sense of DMOZ's principles for sites that warrant to be listed. The oldest ones have pages missing and file downloads are also removed. The largest problem is that ~30 Civ sites have been wiped out because of GeoCities's new policy for neighbourhood addresses and the fact that several sites were lost when Crosswinds had a power cut (or was it a fire, anyway). Not to mention that Xoom is out of business, because NBCi bought them.

Maybe the wayback machine could help? You do need to know the original http:// link to get it to work though.


So who's next for an interview?

Just check how much you have been sniping in other threads before you start complaining about me and sniping. I hope that's the last post I see you arguing about that. There's really no valid point to continue with that arguement.

Cheers, DarkCloud!

You at least know who Blake is and seem to know what I referred to.

Anyway, interviews with game developers of projects like Candle'Bre, Clash, FreeCiv, Stella and other smaller Civ games (check the Alt.Civ forum) could be interesting. I don't mean that I want to be interviewed, but just in general that might be something different and interesting.

I'm chilled - Rasbelin was the one who restarted this nonsense. I'm quite happy to ignore his as long as he ignores me.

Ras... frankly, I don't give a damn who started it anymore... I just want it to stop. So I would suggest you stop bringing it up as well. Taz has said he will chill, and I expect the same from you. Because the next time I see any of this crap again, somebody will be restricted.

If somebody starts it up again, I suggest the other ignore it, not post about it, and send me a PM...

That way, the person who started it will get restricted, and not both of you.

Is that clear enough for you guys!

I'm cool with that on the understanding that I'm not going to start it up but if Rasbelin does, action will be taken against him. I've tried playing the PM route before but he seems never to know when to let it go.

It's a shame I can't put him on ignore but perhaps he can be persuaded to this for me and also not to refer to me or quote me. If he agrees to do this and sticks to it, I'm confident there will be no further flare ups between us.

Is that agreed? Ming? Rasbelin?

Alex,
Nah, nothing special, it's been done before

Back to the topic:

quote: Originally posted by Lazarus and the Gimp On the CTP 2 forums I can consistently name 1 in 3.

I presume this is based on how the CtP2 General forum looks today? If so, I must warn you that the current state of affairs is NOT representative of the community. In the past few weeks there have been many people from all parts of Apolyton who've been asking questions about CtP2 in that forum. They're all interested in buying the game or just bought the game very recently (or found the very dusty box a their shelf) and might turn into CtP(2) regulars in the future but certainly aren't regulars now. These people currently represents about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total 'population' of the first page of the CtP2 General forum: nbarclay, Andemagne, Jaguar Warrior, Mr. President, Rasbelin, LDiCesare, Velocyrix, Tassadar5000 and Lemmy are some of the names you might recognize. For a more representative view of the CtP2 community, try page 3 and 4, or (even better) the Creation forum. But of course, it's the other way around which matters: many CtP2ers don't post much outside the CtP forums, so they won't know recognize names like Laz (although thanks to the columns it should still ring a bell with many, so in this case it's a bad example of Solver).

Anyway, I think Laz should eventually be interviewed for FoA, if only based on his brilliant columns, and so should rah (who *does* occassionally post in the CtP1/2 forums so is not a complete unknown there), but IMO people like Harlan, Stefan Härtel, Mark Everson, Paul, korn and the many other names I've mentioned in the past should get precedence (IMHO it's even premature that *I* am being interviewed right now, I would much rather have seen an interview with Harlan instead).
