FACES Of APOLYTON #1: VELOCIRYX

[MarkG]

We are glad to announce that as of today we are starting a new series of interviews. Hopefully on a steady pace, we will be presenting special members of our community.

We start with <a href=http://apolyton.net/misc/interviews/foa_1vel.shtml>Velociryx, author of the famous SMAC Strategy Guide </a>

If you have a suggestion on who to interview next, send a pm to <a href=http://apolyton.net/forums/private.php?action=newmessage&userid=6796>Solver</a> our Interviews Chief.

[Provost Harrison]

I am available for interview if you make a prior booking. I am sure I could find a window in my schedule somewhere

[Solver]

Congratulations myself for good work ! Markos, read the email I sent you. Provost, well said, but are you really worth it ?

Next interview, already made by me, is with WesW! Look forward to posting.

[Eli]

Discrimination!

They interview only on-topicers!

Thank you again, Solver for the opportunity! I must say tho, that it felt kinna odd (not unpleasantly so, however) to head over here and see my name on the main page, Wow!

Eli,
Whom are "they" you're talking abot? I deal with the interviews, and I am the one who decides who asks questions, who is aked them, etc. I might someday interview one of the off-topicers, but not earlier than I'm done with the most interesting of on-topic. Well, what can I ask the OTF guy? What's the most stupid thread you've ever seen? Why do you think we have so many trolls and women rapers? Just kidding .
Seriously, I believe most people would better enjoy reading interviews with people contributing to any of the games. And, of course, Sid Meier . Nice idea, BTW.

Vel,
Thank you for agreeing to be tortured by me . Seeing my name in one of pages was my dream for first months of Apolyton, now I'm often there...

Well, what can I ask the OTF guy? What's the most stupid thread you've ever seen? Why do you think we have so many trolls and women rapers? Just kidding .

Well, IMHO you are a little unfair here. Most of the OT's started out on the on-topic boards. When I first discovered Apolyton over two years ago I didn't even know about the OT forum for a couple of months. But after a while you have seen every question and every answer there is on every subject you can think of so you start spending more and more time on OT.

Not that every subject hasn't been rehashed till death on the OT...

Right, I'm off to read that interview, even tho I never played SMAC

The establishment!

THEY have only one goal, to destroy the glorios OFF TOPIC!
As I wrote in my book "The Secret War Against the Off Topicers"() : They want us all to talk only about ICS and OCC. THEY dont admit it, but slowly, quietly, they weaken the off topic! Once in a while they add another restriction, and finally, they will get what they want. THE OFF TOPIC WILL FALL!
In the beginning, for every action we took against them, they banned us and reduced our post counts. Then THEY took away our RIGHT to increase them! And now... Now they are using their power to take our already limited freedom of speach by not interviewing off topicers!
We MUST stop it!

Join me in my battle! Together we will wage ruthless war to defeat Markos and Daniel! We will start with destroying their evil guards, Ming, Michael and whatshisname(), and then we will take over Apolyton and THE OFF TOPIC WILL RULE AGAIN!

[Eli]

Join the WAR brothers! FIGHT for your rights! FIGHT for your postcounts! FIGHT!

[Method]

you say that off topic will rule again, implying that it has ruled before. when was this? and waging ruthless war doesn't sound very nice. if you do that who will do the interviews you're "waging ruthless war" to get? this is assuming you "wage ruthless war" on solver too

[Eli]

Our motives and goals are unquestionable.

Good one, if not a little predictable...

Good interview, and I agree wholeheartedly about the graphics. Whoever thought that pink, brown, and blue makes for a pleasing pallette has done far more drugs than I while in college... and I've done more than my share. To me, the graphics were so bad that I did something I've never done before with a game: gave it up because it was ugly to look at.

Oh, and HOMM3 is a GREAT game.
