FoA #13: Gramphos, forumer questions

[Solver]

Currently in the works is not only the part 2 of FoA#12 (Locutus), but also FoA#13 with Gramphos. Since the previous FoA thread I started turned into a general FoA thread, I would appreciate it if only things related to the Gramphos interview were posted here. Mainly, I'd like to see some questions that you may want to ask. After all, Gramphos is the man who managed to create a tool for editing Civ 3 files before he got Civ 3, and you also have to thank him for much of the code behind the Apolyton Directory and some forum feautures.

Re: FoA #13: Gramphos, forumer questions

Hmm. A few questions...

1. What future plans do you have in the field of Civ mod/utility/whatever development?

2. What have been your best achievements with Civ? And your worst setbacks?

3. Which Civ title is your favourite one? Any arguements?

The most important one of these is the Civgroups system. Just mentioning it to give him credits for it.

My main question was gonna be 'Which civ games have you played and what did you think of them? Which is your personal favourite?'. I guess there's more than a fair bit of overlap with Ras's question though

[Solver]

Well, those are overlap with my questions too obviously . Should be pretty clear to imagine that I will be asking him about Civ .

[Rasbelin]

Well, did you expect us to be such little perverts that we would want to hear the size of his manhood?

4. What other game genres do you play? Other favourite games than Civ?

5. What do you think about the future of the Civ series? TBS in general?

6. Are Swedes better Civ players than their Finnish counterparts? (Obviously the answer is a big no. )

7. Your most humorous memory from your career as ACS staff? One that you're allowed to tell and dare to say in public.

Your most humorous memory from your career as ACS staff? One that you're allowed to tell and dare to say in public.

Is that a genuine question or do you just want to hear more about what you already know will be his answer?



What are your non-PC related hobbies?

Do you have a SO and how does she (he?) feel about you spending all this time on Apolyton?

Do you ever see yourself investing your time and talents in the CtP2 Open Source Project or any of the Alt Civs projects (Clash, FreeCiv, Candle'Bre, etc)?

What's your favourite programming language and why?

What will be your next Civ/Apolyton-related project?

Who would win if Greece and Sweden went to war?

Should the Swedish and Finnish clubs declare war on Rosenborg ?

Can you back that up? (onto floppy or CD if possible)
What does Civ 4 absolutely definitely need?
What should Firaxis be learning/stealing from other current TBS games?
Can we have your support for the release of the Civ 2 code?
Do you think the CTP code release is the start of a new era in gaming, or was it a one-off?
Isn't it your round? Mine's a pint.
