	Membership Application: Vulture Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

quote: Hi Shiber, Are you still the person to talk to to join Gathering Storm in the PtWDG? I'm interested in joining, although I probably won't have much time to actually contribute much (especially with the easter holidays coming up). I wasn't ever intending to get nivolved, but my curiosity about what is going on in the game has won out... I'm one of the people who is usually involed in the Apolyton University games on the strategy forum - I gather you have quite a few of the AU guys in GS, so you could check with them if you want some more info about whether I'd be worth letting in (hoping that they remember who I am ) Phill (aka Vulture)

Standard poll, you know the drill.

His user profile.

I voted white. I don't know him personally, but I'm getting the feel that we could use some fresh blood, for our... rituals. I mean think-tanks.
Besides, he's an Astrophysicist (or so his profile says), maybe he can help us build the spaceship and win! Ahh, what poor attempt at humor that was.

I wouldn't really say I know Vulture, but I've read enough of his posts on the strategy forum that I feel comfortable with having him on the team. I voted white.

Is this the time to take on someone new?

Well... I've seen Vulture a couple of times in the strat forum, but as Nathan, I don't really know him. But as our ranks seem to be thinning, we can use the extra hand. White from me.

It will be difficult for him to get up to date, though, I fear this is also part of the reason we're not seeing as much of Ixnay's posts as I was hoping for...

Actually, Ixnay never posted much at all with Lux either, so I could have told you that.

His post about his interest in joining one of the teams:

quote: By the way, what are teams' views on the subject of people (like me) joining just so they can actually see what is going on in the game? I don't have the time to make any kind of commitment to being involved, but it would be nice to know vaguely what the world looks like, who is at war with who, that kind of thing.

I'm fine with adding silent observer types.

Hopefully he'd catch the bug and become as active as the rest of us are.

Welcome Vulture, its quite a busy forum lately, hopefully you can catch up quickly. See the screen shot threads to get a quick grasp on the logistical situation and the turn threads and communication threads for interteam play

again, welcome

Hey, Vulture, welcome aboard!

For those that don;t know the name, Vulture has been a fairly active participant in the Strat forum, and definitely "gets it."

Don;t just lurk, V, chime in... there's a very good dialogue here. I actually think this private forum contains some of the leading edge Civ3-thinking around. You'll like it.

	Put an end to popups!

Welcome. You'll have to hit the join link before I can authorise you though. Fat lot of good this message will do you in that regard.

Welcome anyway.

Welcome to the gang, vulture.

Erm ... I assume someone has sent him a PM telling him to press the 'join' link?

Yes, he said that he's been offline since he applied so he hadn't had the chance to press the join link until just now.

Okay, so I've finally arrived in the GS forum, after a long weekend of dealing-with-5-year-old-already-bored-by-school-holidays. Thanks everyone for letting me in (and no, I'm not a spy for Vox ).

Have to say though that I'm probably going to be pretty quiet for the first two weeks due to work commitments and going to Canada on holiday. Will contribute what I can though.
