Apolyton HOF Time Again

[Ming]

It's that time of year again....

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=110697&pagenumber=1

I will be voting for War4ever again... and I was thinking of starting the push for OzzyKP for his work on Diplo games.
Who else in the Civ II MP community should we back this time around. With a strong turnout from this forum, we should be able to get War4ever in since he is in the top three already.... but who else is next.

[-Jrabbit]

1. don't these stupid votes happen WAY too often?
2. It would be nice if War4 would show his face on occasion. (Hope you're well, War...)

Thought I'd throw some names out and start a discussion before voting. It was nice to see Oedo make it last time, and I recall some discussion about unifying our voting bloc in the future -- so who else in Civ2 world is deserving?

I'll be voting for SG[1] and War4. I see Solo pretty far down the list and he's contributed a lot...

Some more random names to consider...
Carolus Rex
OzzyKP
Eyesofnight
StrategiKing
Berzerker
Atawa
MyWifeHatesCIV
La Fayette
Hydey
Baron O

I'm a relative noob here so I'm sure my perspective is somewhat lacking. Let's hear from the veterans committee!

[Sparrowhawk]

Two other names of note (not in Mings or -Jrabbits lists)....
Sampson
Slow Thinker

I suspect I will be voting for Scouse Gits (1), Solo and Sampson, but I would like to see the Civ2 section unite and vote in those that we agree are most deserving, anyone else have any better suggestions?

[Ming]

All good candidates... I was hoping more people would discuss this so we all could get behind a few candidates.

I'm going to go vote for:
War4ever
Scouse Gits (1)
OzzyKP

[oedo]

Scouse Gits(1) will definately get my vote.
I'm also considering voting for one or two of the following: samson, solo, Slowthinker, EyesOfNight, markusf. Maybe even Kaak, he seems to be really keen on getting in.
War4Ever probably not, since I don´t know that guy at all. But it very much looks like he will do it this time, anyway.
One thing I learned last time: I will wait until right before the the votes will be closed. So my vote will count twice.

[Ming]

Kaak and EyesOfNight are the next two on my list. I figure we can get War4ever in this time, and Scouse Gits(1) will make some serious progress to getting in.

[boann]

this was a hard choice for me
i have always tried to vote for cavebear
hes so involved in the diplo area
and ive got to vote for berz.
and i usually vote for kaak too
lots of mp folks that should be in there


but i wanted to support the multiplayer choice
i think we can do more if we vote as a block.

I agree... and that's what I was hoping this thread would do... doesn't seem to have worked

There are many deserving MP people... and the trick is to vote as a block.

[-Jrabbit]

I voted for SG[1], War4Ever, and (can't remember...) either Solo or Samson (both of whom contributed important part to my Great Library education).

[Kaak]

i didn't know we were organizing our efforts! next time i'll check in so i can go with the flow

[markusf]

seems the only people that get in are those that post in OT, and have never even played the game...

And that's why the different on topic forums mount similar efforts to this one... where certain candidates get supported.
It has been succesfull... and "real game players" have been getting added... We just have to vote more as a block.

Oh... and I would add you to the list as well
I want to see as many of the "recogonized" great players as possible in the HOF...

[rah]

Yes, darn near everyone mentioned belongs in, and it's up to us to accomplish it.

[ColdWizard]

Coincidentally, I happened to vote the same as Ming

[rah]

Mine was almost the same, but I had to vote for berz.
