Why I am here?
Dear All, hi there!
This is my very first posting in these forums.
Since I am going to stay here awhile let me introduce myself, if you don't mind.
I am LX. (enough of my anonymous and unremarkable self for the start, can add only that I was playing "Sid Meyer's Civilization" long before Mr. Gates realised that "do it fast" pays more than "make it reliable")
Why I am here?
I came across Apolyton (what's in that name - virtual Apolitisized society?) while searching for the answer to very annoying problem - CivCTP crashes. They kept torturing me for millenia, usually just after it was becoming clear to AI as well as to me that I will become the greatest of all emperors on this tiny planet. Oh, I was so envious of those lucky ones who hated CTP from the first glance and did not know the pain of reloading game dozen times trying to change the fluctuations of history to avoid another time-trap. Oh yes, I've found the patch, I brought it home, I installed it, I launched the game. It did not start. I restarted PC. It did not start. I reinstalled CTP. I've found the guy with the same problem who already sought the answer here at Apolyton. He did not help me, but he spared me from reinstalling my complete Windows system. I tried everything and I failed.
Now I am content. I have found cure to my sorrows. Now I read Civ threads. Seriously, I praise the circumstances that brought me here. This is a community to which Civ's developers listen, and that makes a hell of difference. Now I can [hope to] share my experience and ideas with the guys who will [occasionally] listen to me. Do you understand what does it mean to have a 10-years' worth of hidden love and almost nobody to understand let alone appreciate it? I have so-o many cool ideas I want to share... Pity that almost all of them had been already expressed here ("I wrote a wonderful play last week, but today I've found the same play was written by Shakespear some years before..."
. But somehow I feel that I can bring some refreshment here.
By the way, how about an idea of establishing separate forum, or sort of FAQ, for members to introduce themselves? To let people say who they are and what in Civ games they like and what they don't? That way people here would become more personalised. On the other hand, given described personalities and gaming preferences, this would provide a source for analysis of gamers' profiles and lead to the End of Civ Split and to the Great Civ Unification. Imagine initial Civ setup that leads user through a questionnary to build his psychological portrait and adapt game defaults accordingly! A joke (is it?).
OK, here I am. Do you accept me?
