Apolytoners' Hall of Fame: December 2007

As I cannot vote for myself my vote goes to:

Fairline for his outstanding units contribution.

Mercator for his brilliant utilities site and wisdom.

Agricola for his tireless playtesting and honesty!

There are others I would like to vote for but these three members have probably helped me the most

I'm not very original here, but McMonkey just gave my reasons. Unless you want to use the following instead:

Fairline for his unswerving loyalty to ManU

Mercator for his use of

Agricola for his ovinophilia


CS, I really wish I could vote for 4. Your moderation has been outstanding.

The September 2007 vote wasn't posted in this forum, which meant everyone here missed it. Consequently fairline and curtsibling didn't get any votes, their votes expired and they dropped out.

Better pay attention next time...

Do you mean there's more to 'Poly than the SLeague forum? I must venture out there sometime...

* fairline and curtsibling- sorry guys. I wasn't in charge of posting the threads last time, Paddy was, but things like this happen from time to time. I don't blame him, in the past I've neglected other sections that may not seem to see much activity but which actually are teeming with posters, and in the rules I didn't designate this as a 'must-post' spot. It was an oversight.

Thanks everyone for voting- I make a point to post the vote here in the creation forum because I realize it's the most active Civ II section.

Thanks for voting!

No worries - I just feel that some of the CIV2 people here are well overdue inclusion to the HOF.

(not myself, but various others)

[DarkCloud]

True. And you aren't getting any younger. I'm not certain exactly to handle this so I'll play by the books right now and have your votes zeroed- but since I didn't actually post the last election, Paddy did (once again this is NOT his fault- he graciously filled in for MY job), there might be some rules wiggling in regards to whether or not your votes are zeroed- don't count on it though.

Regardless, I have your full points from the last few elections on file on my computer in case any restoration work is decided on. Once again, don't count on anything, but along with a few other interested parties on the site, I can discuss HoF policy regarding this situation in the staffroom.

Voting Closes

Ah well, it has come to this, the conclusion of the seventh year of the Apolytoners' Hall of Fame. With the closing, we welcome three new members into the Hall of Fame:

Blake (404 votes), Dominae (306 votes), and Loinburger (276 votes).

Blake: Blake is a New Zealand Buddhist Civ IV modder known for creating an AI improvement mod for the Civ4 Warlords expansion. After seeing Blake's excellent work, Firaxis hired him to program the AI for Civ IV: Beyond the Sword (BtS). He is known for a rigorous mathematical approach to games that makes him an expert at games like Civ4 and SMAC (Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri). In 2002, he started an Alpha Centauri clone game project- Stella Polaris, which was covered in the Alternate Civs section, however due to real life stresses, he had to retire from that programming. When he returned to the forums around 2004, however, he returned motivated to make his mark on Civilization and the site. (Special thanks to Solver for some of the above information.)

Dominae: is one of the master strategists in Civ4 and one of Apolyton University's most famous collaborators. According to fellow Hall-member Velociryx, Dominae is considered something of an elder statesman among the Civ IV community, ¡°offering up consistently good advice and equal servings of patience and kindness to new players and folks new to the board.¡± He also participated in numerous Civ III and IV Diplomacy Games. Previously, he was reasonably involved in the SMAC strategy community.

Loinburger: Civilization II player and OT poster, Loinburger is always ready to help put a smile on people's faces. Around 2000 he migrated to the OT community where he remained, with occasional forays into Other Games, until 2006.

Thank you all for voting, and please vote again in March 2008!
