    Faces of Apolyton Interviews

    I would have bumped the old thread, but someone archived it.

    http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=106107

    Anyway in the thread linked to, I ask Solver for information on what happened to the feature, and offer to take it over if he is not interested in doing it, or is just too busy.

    He assures us he is interested and not too busy, and promises an interview by the end of January. It is now the end of February. It has been 18 months since the last interview.

    In light of these facts I suggest once again it is time for someone else to take over this feature. I am interested in doing so. I don't want to step on Solver's toes but I feel enough slack has been given.

    I will wait for an official response, since if I put in the time to do an interview I want it to be an acknowledged FoA interview not just some random poster chatting with another random poster.

    Mark/Dan?

    After 18 months Solver should be able to write a 5-volume epic on him I'd think.

    Who would be your first subject , Spikey?
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

    I have some ideas, but we'll cross that bridge after the administration chimes in.

    Please tell me though that it's not going to be a self-interview

    Whilst that would be one way to ensure an intelligent conversation it's not the plan.

    Are you kidding Vovan???

    Look at the top of your screen, under 'my threads' & 'upload'

    That's just it though Alva...........there are many who will never have seen these at all, especially if they joined in the last 18 months.

    And Ras, I hope so too.

    Well all were prominent posters when they were interviewed. Which was 18 months ago or more. Don't know if I mentioned that.

    Well, I figured that out. I wouldn't mind having my name next to that of Soren Johnson, Sid Meier, and Jeff Briggs in the interviewee list... Even if it is technically a different list. Heck, even next to Ming would do.

    Hehe, I feel kinda left out. I joined 'Poly just one month after you, Spikey, and yet I never really heard of this FoA deal. Must be an OT thing.

    Maybe it´s because of this:

    Yeah you lot, don't be cynical and think that Solver got his ass into gear after 18 months just because I posted this thread and the one I linked to.

    Coincidences happen all the time.

    Hehe I'm happy to hang around bumping this thread should there be a lull in activity.

    Good luck to Solver; I hope the new run of interviews goes well.
