    This group will help in the organization of Multiplayer games and provide a group chat function. Also Robert said this:

      Why did you name it "Apolyton (Civ5 MP)"?

      Itīs named Apolyton. "Civ5 MP" is just the abbreviation.

      Itīs gonna be used for that, wonīt it?

      Good idea! Gonna definitely do that. Hopefully the achievements in general are "interesting" enough to share with others.

      I hope that its gona be used for more than that. If it is just MP, then it is useless for me (never played and never will be playing Civ MP game)

      We will make full use of what is has to offer. What that is or will in the end be is tough to say now.
      Just roll with it and see whether it provides anything for you.

      I'm interested, if for no other reason, to see how many hours of play the members stack up in the next month or so. I don't know whether I want to feel better knowing others are as obsessed as I am or if my competitive nature will kick in and inspire me to log more hours and beat the average.

      I'll be happy to be in the top 25%. Although you should understand I'll have a 40 or so hours played before you even start, since you're in the UK right?

      I am looking forward to that, seeing high scores compared across the board.

      And thank you for reminding me of what I miss most from SMAC... if only Civ V would have an "Iron Man" option...

      Sounds good to me. I love multiplayer, but I really quite enjoy single player civ too if I can compete with other people in some manner

      Do you mean ranking for MP portion? Or there is a way to rank SP portion as well?
      Also, do you think that you may integrate the website with STEAM info? So that we could link our accounts here and there? (But only after you will implement my suggestion of slight modification of the site logo )

      First of all: MP rankings of all sorts.

      But we definitely are looking into generally hooking Steam and the Apolyton group to the site in order to display achievements and other SP stats.
