What benefits do people get from civ groups?

Ming is the worst offender in that respect

I still don't see the relevance of the feature. I mean some Civ Groups are self-explanatory. But others like "Latin Lovers" with the Bull icon

I wouldn't have a clue where to find the forum for that particular civgroup.

The script needs to be updated so that we can click on an icon and be taken not to a list of members for that civgroup, but to the forum for that civ group

[Carolus Rex]

I concur (but please don't e-mail it to me) and repeat my question from another thread: who is she?

Poly mail doesn't seem to accept attachments, so I have mailed you the URL where I got it from

I can see the use of the icons to see who plays multiplayer in games you play so you can set matches up, but some people just go overboard with these civgroups.

Most of these seemingly useless civgroups are teams of multiplayer democracy games, namely in SMAC and Civ3. You have to be a group member to access the private forum of the particular team. So even if the link was there, you couldn't open the forum, since you aren't a member.

Can we get the people who prance around with the Civgroups labels but haven't posted in the relevant forum for ages booted out? Or at least mildly tortured?

I think I have ONE civgroup icon that needs removing, but I always mean to use it. Sorry to the cake-or-death people

The benefits of the civgroups are to make Jamski feel guilty.

Civgroups..?

I think I joined one, but haven't used it for anything... if I still have it I think it's time to remove it


EDIT:

I see I have joined one, but I can't seem to find the "Get-the-hell-out-of-this-Civgroup-now" button

Go to he forum related to the civ group. In the middle, above the forums, you will see some text that says something like "civ group", it shows the number of members, and right below that it says either Join or Leave depending on whether you are a member or not.

Select leave

Ah, thx... I was trying to find it in the list of members

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Oooh! Oooh! I like the little bull one!

Can I join? Will I have to communicate with tedious farts, or something?
