Lux right now has a total of 9 pages of threads. So who can beat that?


I'll bet this isn't the first time Trip lied about his size.

Please, Bigfree, goto the strat forum and look up any thread that starts with AU. Although I am not an active particpant in Apolytonian University games, I do read the thread. If you go and read (and actually listen to what they have to say) you will learn alot in a short amount of time.


I do understand what the benefits could be for those Civ's still involved.

What I don't believe is that other team members won't neccessarily 'believe' what the team has to say about things. I believe that Lux's credibility (and thus the team members) will be questioned even more by the time things are said and done. I'm judging this on how people are reacting to the current threads about Lux's demise and early departure.

There is no benefit for Lux or it's members here, only something that can drag it's members down. I would rather burn the information in that forum than to share it with some of the 'vultures' I've been noticing within these threads I mentioned earlier. I've never been the one to believe that it is 'ok' to read a dead person's diary; people deserve privacy, if they so choose, even after they've left us.

Dead peoples diaries and letters have given us vast historical significance to the time periods that they were written in. But only outside of the immediate historical context...

Perhaps when people are somewhat removed from the shock of the event and after things have progressed a little in our game history, the time will be right for someone from Lux to write an honest and forthcoming authobiography of the Lux Invicta story. I know that I would be excited to read it and I'm sure others would be. I think we could learn a lot and also be entertained by it.

I, for one, do not think that Lux Invicta played poorly or should be mocked. I see Lux as a Tragic hero in a Greek Theatre sense, one with a great rise to power and then a great fall due to an unfortunate tragic flaw that the audience is aware of, but the hero never truely understands until the end.

I think that most of us would be respectful of Lux's story if it was presented in an honest and sincere fashion. I also think that we would gain the most knowledge from an honest retelling of the story "from the inside" ... as much has already been speculated about them from the outside.

My feelings exactly - this would happen just like in real life, with many memoirs being written not just after the event, but years afterwards.

Ah... but never forget that the purpose of most autobiographies is to offer one last jab at your past rivals in life before kicking the bucket

Actually trip, I think we would actually enjoy it, and the more bias the better. As Arnelos said this is lux's big chance to really sock it to their opponents. Whether we agree or disagree I'm sure it will be entertaining.

Why?

Everybody has it's own story and it may reveal some unknown details or point of views... In this case it is the (true? ) history of Lux-Land!!

But: The story should be published in about 1000 (game)years.

Perhaps Lux doesn't want to dwell on their history. They may not be overly proud of it.

It's a good point that it might be best if an AAR gets delayed for a while, but still it would be very helpful, and fun to read. Indeed autobiographies are in many case a final kick to former opponents, but even that is not really needed. You might have noticed that there were very few comments gloating on Lux's departure, for the simple reason that most PTWDGers feel sorry for them. Trash talking is only fun as long as there is a possibility of retaliation, trash talking now would amount to kicking a dead body. Maybe ND still holds grudges to Luxians, but other teams? I doubt it.

BTW, one of the reasons for an AAR from Lux is that it would summarize all information, it would instantly be the best history thread available in this forum. My guess is that it would fastly become the most-read thread here, everybody is interested in reading how they perceived the game.

There was talk before of opening up the private forum of any team killed, but I don't really want that to happen, as it would somewhat be a violation of privacy. Having the team summarize their game does not have any negative connotations, but has all the advantages: it would teach quite a few things to everyone, including to the Luxians themselves.

Oh, and again, any AAR thread should be restricted to Luxians only, all other posts should be removed. Comments on the AAR can always happen in other threads, if someone doesn't agree, or wants more explanation on something.

Very true... I can only guess, based on some rumours floating around

Maybe I should ask for a ND AAR instead?
