my very extensives comments....

BEST SCENARIO

Alba de America + WW2 in europe...
both well done and good scenarios but hardly the best. I don't think they deserve the award.

Arab Conquests...
I don't know which one this is. I'm not sure if I've ever played it

Mongol+Gangster
HELL YES! I agree with these two!

BEST HISTORICAL SCENARIO

All but Mongol
No, they weren't that good! C'mon people!

Mongol
HELL YES!

MOST CHALLENGING SCENARIO

Alien
What was so challenging about this? You got the TIGERS and stomped everyone!

Lord of the Rings and Moscow
Definitely. I agree 1000%

Mission Impossible
Never played it.

MOST INNOVATIVE SCENARIO
not many nominees eh?? the apolyton Age of Piracy wouldn't even work on my computer so...well no. I guess I vote Gangster on this one.

MAPs

I think the best maps are the custom drawn for specific scenario map with specail unique terrains so I won't vote on any maps.

BEST MODPACK
only one nomination? but it didn't work right so I won't vote.

BEST WEBSITE
Apolytong is becoming a load of garbage (nothin personal) I mean they don't update the links or scenarios or mods or maps ever. C'mon! The only good thing is the forums. So I don't vote for apolyton. Allard and Andrews is not so hot once mergin with apolyton. Jesus Balisindes is on geocities so it is only the good will of god that I can even see it. Therefore I vote for Mikes Civ2 Scenarios Page! Rock on homie!

MOST INFORMATIVE SITE
Allard and Andrews! No doubt about it! Stuff like special cheats (y and CTRL SHIFT F8) are very helpful. Allard and Andrews is da bomb!

MOST INNOVATIVE WEBSITE
Scenario League.

CIV'ER OF THE YEAR
Hey, I nominated CAm, why isn't he on the list? Anyway I will vote for cam even if he isn't on list. I mean c'mon look on the forums hes always the one helping people in need of it! He's the best reviewer for Sleague and the Guild. And he made a kick ass scenario. hands down, cam all the way!

BEST SCENARIO DESIGNER
Harlan Thompson.

Reismark I am dead serious when I say that you will be sorry that you nominated Harlan's WW2 scenario when mine is done!

If you want a nominee for best sound, pick me! Download the sound for Seven Years War and Danube. Very original.

I agree that Mongols v.3 should be the best scenario. The graphics, historical accuracy, events... It is a masterpiece.

My site? I haven't even updated it in over two weeks. I can't until I move. To be honest I would say the Spanish Civ2 site. Jesus updates it regulary and isn't garbaged like AA. The only badthing is the stupid geocities add. I used to like AA a lot, but this year Andrew has gotten sloppy. He can't even spell my name or email address correctly.

You know, I think for most challenging scenario it should also apply for beatable. I don't know if it is possible to go anywhere in Moscow. I could make a scenario harder. You start off with a settler surronded by armors, nukes or whatever.

For nominee 5 put up the Deadly Boot. It is very very very hard but beatable.

Put St-Leo's imperialism modpack for best modpack. The graphics there are awesome. Or put it with historical modpack.

You might also want to put SLeague for best website. What they do is very unique.

Hmmm... I think Alex the Magnificent's war gallery should be up on the list somewhere. It is one of my favourites. I love staring at those awesome graphics.

i agree, alex the magnifient all the way!

apolyton...
okay in last month and a half there were thirteen updates, 6 were columns, only one of which I read. Three were updating your "database" which still doesn't have half the scenarios your old list did. One was just brining in the old list from and old site. C'MON! new screenshots, don't think i noticed that..what were they? viking scribes, okay good job. small update to tournament page. most people don't play tournament games.

and finally the one actual update
january 1st...updated links.

sorry markos i mean I love apolyton and i realize that there isn't much to work with now that all the civ games are released. wait a minut they aren't...so maybe you could work with some TOT stuff...specifically find out if tehre are more events thingys in it! that would be awesome! Also I really don't think you pay enought attention to new scenarios. Maybe apolyton could do something like "scenario watch" where people pick the best new scenarios off the net and carp.

Oftenly?

Mr Temba, you didn't answer my question(which site did so many updates)

"database which still doesn't have half the scenarios"
You know how much that is? Over 500 files!

And what about the news? We're the only civ2 site that actually have news!

Now, our updates may not interest you, but dont tell me that they are not "real"(they take time you know!) or garbage.

What's wrong with "oftenly"?

Okay let me try to respond to everything at once:

First, if you don't know a certain nominee, never fear! We will have downloads and URL's for ALL of the nominees when we start voting. Unfortunately, it looks more and more like this is going to be pushed back....

Mr.Temba:
Cam isn't on the Civ'er of the Year list because I got too many requests for Markos and MJ. You also need to be a little bit more active as a searcher (St. Leo has done the bulk of the work). Get me some modpack noms, and fast!

MJ:
Next year. (It's gotta actually be UP first). But hang onto it - we may have a WW2 scenario contest coming up soon.
Who did "Up the Deadly Boot?" And where can I get copies of it and St. Leo's imperialism modpack (at this rate, it'll go on both!!)

You go, Markos!!! :-)

Reismark, it will be up by the end of this week on my site and the Spanish site. The voting is two weeks away. John Petroski did Up the Deadly Boot. You can download it from A&A, Spanish Site or mine. Download St Leo's Imperialism modpack from his website. Just click on his profile and then the link to his site.

mrtemba, I would love it if I was able to update my page but I've maxed out my space! Arghh.... I've made several changes to the site, unfortunately it is siting here on my computer and not on the net. I can't upload anything until I get my address changed to civ2.jatek.net

Arab Conquests?

Excuse me, but how? How on earth can that be even considered as the best scenario? Has anyone seen it? Jihad scenario is better than it. No original graphics, maybe 10 units total in the thing, tiny events, billions of Islamic horsemen. I mean, it is so easy! They are all veterans and they attack Byzantine Phalanxs (original phalanx graphic).

Someone has to explain this to me. I might go insane wondering why.

Unfortunately for you MJ, I received about three requests from people for Arab Conquests, and in addition the recommendation of one of my Search Team members (I won't say who). So, that's why it's sitting on THE list right now.

P.S. If that version of your WW2 scenario you sent me is full, you're getting the last nod on the Historical Scenarios List.

I agree completely about Arab Conquests, I ralize that it doesn't matter which one we are talking about, none of them qualifty as best anything.

you lost space? how long is it until you move? if its more than a month I would try to tone down the page you ahve and put more stuff up there. I mean like if you have any of the bestonnet scenarios actually on your site take them off and give alternate links. If not than forget it.

Popularity? Is that why Arab conquests got nominated? I can think of at least 30 scenarios I would rank ahead of that. Including mrtemba's =-)
Yes mrtemba, those Jihad scenario do suck but download Arab conquests from A7A. If you are like me, your jaw will drop open and wonder
"why?"

Well, my vote is going towards Mongols or Gangster on best. Probably Mongols.

Reismark,

I gotta make some fast changes. Basically, I have to change the name Landcaster to Lancaster and I have to but allied fortifications in America on the axis scenario and axis fortifications on the Bay of Biscay. It will probably be finished by tomorrow. Thanks.

Send me a copy ASAP because you made the last spot on the Best Historical Scenario list.

Mr.Temba
Most of the stuff you nominated didn't get posted because you (in a sense) got outvoted by the public. Your nominations also came in categories where I was overflowing with suggestions (namely Best Scenario) and I just took the ones that were named the most. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. Just try to get some noms, please??

I have to say that I disagree with you ALL.

Best scenario:
Lord of the Rings by Harlan Thompson- THE BOMB!! Totally accurate to the books, tons of cool units and events...very hard...the best!!
Dungeon by Blackclove- Awesome events, totally different than a regular Civ2-like game...very, very creative.
Danubian Empire by Michael Jeszenka- Also tons of cool events, units, and very, very playable.
Pope Patrick by Mrtemba- I know you're all thinkig I'm an idiot...but I don't care! As I've said before, it's the best modern war scenario.


Best scenario creator:
Harlan Thompson
Michael Jeszenka
Alex the Magnificent
Allard Hofelt
Jesus Balsinde

Best Website:
Alex the Magnificent's War Gallery
A and A's site
Michael Jezenka's site
Apolyton Site

Most challenging scenario:
Dagor Bragollach
Lord of the Rings
Moscow

Reismark,

Do not you find a bit odd to include among the nominees a scenario that nobody but its author has seen? I am referring to MJ's WWII scenario. I do not deny it will be good (most likely it will), but if it has not been released yet, under which criteria has it been nominated???

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)


mj just in case you are wondering the guild arab conquests sceanrio isn't mine, its by some juggalo named solymr. I never made an arab conquest scenario.

tirin have you tried the new version? or is that what you are talking about? anyway thanks but I don't think it belongs up there with Lord of the Rings.

which brings me to another points, surely I wasn't the only one who nominated Lord of the Rings (thanks for reminding me). Did I get "outvoted" here too?

If this is the way the public thinks then my opinion of HAC awards is sort of, um,, well...

about mikes ww2 scenario.

It is good, the best ww2 scenario on the net. But sadly, its still a ww2 scenario. SSSIIIIGGHHHH.....(turns take YEEEAAARSSSS)

No Mr. Temba, in that case, the public outvoted itself. (In other words, there were more votes cast for the ones that made it than for LoR). Benedetti, I play-tested MJ's new scenario, and it certainly fits the criteria. Besides, you're not supposed to just vote - you're supposed to play-test ALL nominees and then make your pick, so each has a fair shot.

Bad news:
I will be unable to work the next two days (I'm going upstate to look at some colleges).

Good news:
The list is almost done - now, what might cause delays is problems setting up the new voting booth...

Reismark,
Exactly my point. If nobody has played it YET, why is it nominated? Only on the basis of your own playtesting? You dismissed some of MrTemba's proposals due to insufficient quorum... Moreover, there are dozens of scenarios out there that "certainly fit the criteria"
