Name and nick should be included, also, I think the position of each person in their teams should be included so the readers can gauge the huge scope of each team government.

ex: Apolyton's Minister of War, Jon Shafer "Trip"

well, standard nicknames are usually inserted in between your name, so it would read:

Jon "Trip" Shafer

yeah but this one would sound real funny:

Tom "Togas" Ogas



perhaps instead Jon Shafer ("Trip")

This is legendary! So much advanced from the few hundred words you sent to me some time ago Adrian - I am amazed at how great it is looking.

Reading through, I made myself keep a critical eye on things, but beyond some small typos I can see no reason to change anything - this is EXACTLY what I would expect from a top gaming mag article on our little phenomenon.

So, I'd better get those suggested corrections out of the way...

quote: Kenton, CDG’s team leader..

I believe this is Kentonio.

quote: The Great Game, Online ...many of whom have played the Civilization for over ten years...

quote: A Question of Government ...as consul-in-training Simon Granville describes...

I'd like to think I was a full-fledged Consul now.

Otherwise, having our nicks in there might be an idea worth considering, as it captures some of that "je ne sais quoi" that goes along with it. As a side benefit, this might look hilarious..

Tom "Togas" Ogas
Simon "MrWhereItsAt" Granville...

Makes me look about 13!

So what are your plans with it now Adrian? Are you thinking of including anything more? Are you jsut taking a well-earned break from typing? Need any more help from we stunned mortals?

Thanks everyone for pointing out the mistakes and typos, I've been correcting them continuously. I emailed Soren about the Civ4 quote, unsurprisingly it was a mistake:

"That was definitely a typo... I meant Civ3... sorry."

Ah well

I'm going to put the nicknames in the article when I send it off to various places, although they might disappear again depending on how they feel. I also intend to make a few minor tweaks, but I feel pretty happy with it now. I'll let you all know how it goes!
