	What should I do? Support Apolyton

I can see in a multiplayer game things happen a lot faster than in the SPDG. I get busy on a weekend with dog events and when I check things on Monday I find a lot has happened that I need to catch up on. So, I want to try to contribute more by collecting data, updating statistic threads (the Thread of Everything has not been updated in a while), and try to do more planning ahead and speculating so we are better prepared when something happens (like a war with one of the continental civs).

If you like this idea then I will need to get a save regularly. I think once or twice a week would do it. Preferrably don't send one just before a weekend unless I say it is OK. If I received one tonight (hint, hint) I could get started right away.

One thing I would like to see is a place that shows what agreements are still active (i.e., not yet complete) with each civ. It is too easy to forget sometimes just what we agreed to (such as a trade deal that was signed 20 turns ago for future techs). This is a situation I noticed while reading that huge original FA thread. I had a different perspective because I was reading it all at once over a few days when the actual events sometimes occured weeks apart. This could be done either as the first post in each FA thread, or in a separate thread. I like the separate thread idea as it would give at a glance all the deals still active. The info would be a simple line or two summary (XX owes us...) and a link to the post that contains the agreement. If in a separate thread it could be a thread specific to this purpose or part of the statistics thread.

Actually, now that we've (ie Jon/Beta/Diss) has separated the the single FA thread into a thread for each of the other countries, trying to follow along should be much easier now.

I do concur with you concerning having a summary of the active treaties - of course, this is supposed to be in the "Thread of Everything," but like you've already stated is in dire need of updating.

I like it too. I will send you the save. I assume you still have the password.

And we should revisit the thread of everything - and either update it or modify it what we want to use regularly.

Why don't we let Harry "perform his magic" with the "Thread of Everythying" and see what he comes up with?

By the way Harry, in case you haven't noticed yet - all members can edit all threads in our private forum.

So I say, let Harry loose on the "Thread of Everything" and see what he comes up with. Just click the "Edit" button and start creating.

Oops! Silly me...of course Harry already knows about this ability since He has already updated the thread with his Email address.

So, if no one else has any heartburn with Harry working on "The Thread of Everything," I say go for it ... since it's not updating itself!
