    These would probably have to be hosted off-site though, judging by the last one produced. I think it was an interview with AH.
    I would love to read OT based interviews though.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

      Let me clarify. "Faces of Apolyton" is the officially-sanctioned, reverential interview series in which the worthies (from the forums where not many posts are made) get interviewed.

      I see. We could call your interview series, "Facetious of Apolyton".

      You could start the first interview with the series of questions I've provided earlier in this thread.

      How about interviews with relatively unknown members of ACS? We could call that "Faceless of Apolyton".

        The idea is growing duller by the second.

            I like the idea.
            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

But, in these cases, I need some serious help, as my knowledge of OTF posters isn't too good, and I would be unable to do a decent interview with most of them.
              Perhaps the various DG communities... there are a lot of them on the site and they're on-topic.

                Sounds like a plan.

                Nothing like a hostile interviewer to really bring out a true personality.

                  And spam . I'm a member of the ranks of those civ-players who dislike DG. Well, most of the time, actually, no DG event (except for a start and end of one) gets outside the community of that particular DG. While, for instance, you all know Locutus, even those who aren't in CtP community.

                      As always, those never venturing out of the OTF aren't expected to know anyone except the OTF mods.

                        Once again proving sarcasm on the Internet doesn't work (especially not on Solver)...

                            Locutus, is that supposed to be a gentle notice telling me that I'm thick-headed ? You never know, maybe I was being sarcastic too.

                              As a number of the Civ3 Strategy Forum regulars who were previously wary of DGs have discovered through playing in the Inter-Site Democracy Game, DGs aren't all that bad.

                              Probably the best value that DGs have for most posters is that the process of the game moving that slowly and having so many brains working on each facet of the game helps posters to vastly improve their play. That process allows a lot of people to realize strategies and facets of the actual game that they never really thought about. It also gives all of the posters involved an actual STAKE in the game at a pace that most can actually follow rather than just an AAR posted by a strategy forum master that doesn't really tell you (specifically) what allowed him to be so good at playing the game.

                              The sheer number of people who have said that they were players on Warlord or Regent level until they played in a DG and then were able to play at Monarch, Emperor, and even Deity is pretty astounding.

                              The fact that the two Inter-Site Democracy Games are also competitions in which Apolyton's talents, as a site are on display in competition with those of other Civ sites makes those games, in particular, highly interesting.

                                Good point you make there Arnelos, and nicely put too.
                                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
