Faction Sign Ups

[Hercules]

Crikey,
How did you discover this. Novoxz N hasn't posted anywhere, yet he/she simply joined all three of you.

In my view this makes the case for a central registry, so we can cross check.

To the question as to what to do. well if he/she is genuine they can still only be in one faction.

The pirates have a similar case. However I don't know how to de-authorise.

[Hercules]

I am intrigued as how all three of you in a short space of time managed to authorise a complete noobie who hadn't even posted.

Is this person authorised in all three factions, or are you guys playing a joke.

/me instructs the Gorilla to investigate the matter of Novoxz N

[Googlie]

I have e-mailedf and PM'd Novoxz N asking him to select one of the three factions as his home, and to click the "leave" for the other 2. Of course, I don't believe that this bars him from re0entering at any time.

On the offchance that he is a planted spy in 2 factions by the third, I have edited out the passwords from the faction files.

'Course the discussions can still be followed in the threads and the screensaves studied, esp as we can't hang attachments to the sub-threads (where we could password protect the zip files)

What a mess

There is. Just click on the "civ groups" name in the string at the top right of this page (alongside the Apolyton Logo). You can then click on any faction and see the membership list (as well as the date joined Apolyton and the # posts to date)

Interestingly he doesn't appear in the master list, just in the 3 factions' lists

Hi, I just stumbled across this DG... I think this can be more fun than Civ3 DGs, since SMAC is a better game indeed.

I'm disappointed TPR... both games are excellent, and different enough IMO that it would be like comparing to
sausages to apples.

I hope you have fun here anyway. You would have loved the real DG that was played before this version was set up.

[ThePlagueRat]

Yeah, so many games going I can't keep track anymore.
Well, all those I've been into has been quite fun, in different ways.
The roleplay part is often the best IMO.



NB: I still have my opinion of the software quality concerning CIV3.

I thought he was someone else I checked him up on the members list, and it showed 3 of the civ group icons next to his name. That got me worried.

Yes, definatly.

You can't IIRC. We need the ability to ban IMHO. The only way to remove things like this.

I believe - from the private forums as well as this thread - that only the CC has authorized him, so if this is the case I'd suggest that neither the Hive nor the PUT do this.

This will limit any fallout as access to the other two faction forums would thus be effectively denied.

[Drogue]

Then it does not matter, since he has only joined one forum?

[Corellion]

But his/her allegiances may not lie with that faction. There's nothing that prevents him/her from relaying information from that one forum to others.

That is a faction registry not a central registry. Secondly It shows who has applied, it doesn't actually indicate who is an authorised member.

A central registry (with faction membership) gives everyone an overview.

[moomin]

Oh bugger. Is he authorized in all three? Or do you show up on the list for just requesting autorization? I know we've had no discussion at least.

I don't understand. How could he get in if he was not authorized? I thought the case was all three authorized him without checking if he was already in another team.
