    "Three Men and a Victory" (Part 1/10)

    During <B>ApolyCon '06</B> held in Timonium, Maryland this past <U>July</U>, three representatives from <I>Civilization IV</I> developer <B>Firaxis Games</B> participated in a multiplayer tournament for the game. The game's Lead Designer <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/go.php?http://www.firaxis.com/company/bios.php?bioid=30" TARGET="_new">Soren Johnson</A>, fellow Designer/Programmer <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/go.php?http://www.firaxis.com/company/bios.php?bioid=85" TARGET="_new">Jon "Trip" Schafer</A> and Software Engineer <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/go.php?http://www.firaxis.com/company/bios.php?bioid=80" TARGET="_new">Alex "alexman" Mantzaris</A> went head-to-head with an on-looking crowd... and a camera documenting it all.

    The first of a ten-part "Three Men and a Victory" serial is <A HREF="http://convention.apolyton.net/videos/three_men-victory1.wmv" TITLE="Click to Download (16.9MB)">now available for download</A>. Set to a selection of music from <I>CivIV</I>'s soundtrack, key pieces of conversation between the three and other guests and participants help to contextualize the in-game action as seen from each Firaxian's laptop screen on a rotating basis. Below is a screenshot from this production:

        You should post these videos up on YouTube and Google Video. More people would see them that way.

          All/most ApolyCon videos, or just this series then?

            Ditch poly services and just host it on the big sites. You will never reach a audience if you (only)host it on poly. Adequate linkage back to here, and i bet off topic gets a bunch of fresh recruits too
            if you want to stop terrorism; stop participating in it

              We are not going to "ditch" serving these videos off of Apolyton first and foremost. Established news contacts are made in order to further disseminate their availability.

              When you say "big sites", I take it you are referring to popular video sharing sites (e.g. YouTube, Google Video)? This has only been done with the the Age of Nations produced in-house to date but is being considered for works like this present and future too. The likely arrangement is to be arranging off-site hosting options on services like these a week or so after their initial release here.
