Faces of Apolyton: Primary Polling

[DarkCloud]

Please, everyone, make a list of the top5 posters you think should be interviewed for the FoA after WesW.

My list
-
1. korn456
2. yin26
3. SnowFire
4. Googlie/Hydro (double feature, SMAC celebrity authors!)
5. DarthVeda (3rd person on the boards)

-
I could compile a poll with the most common posters.
Please, in your lists, put posters who have been here at least 2 years. Otherwise, you must include me in your list

Out of curiosity, what does the bold mean?

[phoenixcager]

Does that mean he was the 3rd person to register here?

Sorry, but I view lists that require you to list members by length of time on the site worthless.

My list of people to interview:

EVC
Civnation 2001
Gareth Edmunson
Giancarlo
Dookie/nimrod/chasing rainbows/Infatuation

I think they would be far more interesting then your old fart concept.

Another list, of great interest might include:

AH
Laz/Bugs ****ing bunny
Supersneak
Ming
MarkG

I think these 10 would prove far more interesting then another look into the world of SMAC (which I do play, but diversity is needed)

Still another of interest would be the ACOL bunch :
MikeH
ACOL Kitty
AnnC
Walrus
Gasmaske

Well, there are more on that list, but it's a good sampling.

A broader base of people would definatly benifit us all, and make the interviews of more interest.

MidKnight Lament
All three SG's
Ming
yin26
Horse

[Rasputin]

Interview with both the Admins and all the mods would be interesting..

Perhaps an interview with LAexnaders Horse , the spam king ....

[TCO]

I will interview Ming if you want. He's famous for a lot of things. OT and non-OT...

[Immortal Wombat]

As almost all the suggestions here are great, and will be done sooner or later, I will jsut agree with the above, and add:

Harlan - Civ2 scenarios, CTP graphics, units, helped make CTP2 Alex scenario...
DarkCloud - Apolyton statistitian
Solver - You.
Locutus - CTP1/2 SLIC master
DanQ - co-owner

Good thread. Markos, perhaps top this instead of Velociryx ?
Well, I would also like to read reasons why you think a specific person should be interviewed.
But, Faces of Apolyton will NOT have any off-topicers, for a pretty good time, if not forever. Yes, call me a discriminator, but there are so many on-topicers to interview.
As for interview with Markos, I've spoken to him so much that I already know everything needed for the interview. Hold on, you owner !
Interview with me... this will also follow someday, and will be an example of when I don't ask a sibgle question. Prepare for 10 pages then .
I also see of interest to have Yin26 interviewed.
ACOLers - don't you see that this is called "Faces of Apolyton", not "Mugs of Apolyton, ACOL, CGN, Microsoft and Linux". Too much joking here, well.

Finally, I repeat, I don't know all of the posters, and I know no off-topicer, so please include at least one phrase motivation-description to your picks.

Why, the smiley man, of course! (I really, really need to draw the tie-adjusting smiley.)

[Solver]

Stefu, get that "cry" smilie, I like it.

It's too bad you aren't considering getting to any Off Topic posters. Many of them are just ex-civers who got bored with the game and have migrated to the OTF until civIII comes out. And while I agree this is a gaming site, and we should concentrate on the "gaming community", there are some interesting people who are now mostly OTF posters who many people would be interested to know about and who have been involved in the Apolyton Community.

Orange: set up the Apolyton Year Book
Lancer: His continuing efforts to improve peoples lives
AH: A gamer first, but a funny character with a unigue point of view where ever he posts
GP: One of the oldsters who remembers the history of this site
Sarge: Also a gamer, but well known for his antics

As far as the hard core gamers:

Yin26: His tireless efforts to make civIII a game we might enjoy
Xin Yu: His ability to disect Civ unlike anybody else... his unique strategies and his analysis of how the game works.
Eyes of Night: While many don't like him, he is one of finest civ players...
Odeo: A name that is now famous because of his discovery of the Odeo Years
SG(all numbers): There efforts to collect all the knowledge of CivII and to put them into a place for all to share. Plus, I would love to know more about this shared log on....

Ming,
You know my opinion about the OT very well, we had enough discussion on this in the staff room. You are modertator of the OTF, so that's an important forum to you, but you know how don't I like it. Plus, I periodically look in there, just to find that 95% threads are spam, trolls, stupidity and banality, not worth opening.
I want the interviews to show people who contributed to Civ, who are well-known players, or modmakers. That's why Velociryx's guide, WesW's Mods, Tau Ceti's Multiplaying effort make me interview them.
I didn't say I will never interview OT people, but there are surely many on-topicers to interview before, so don't expect me to get to them soon.
I have never isnulted anyone openly on these forums, but it's time to begin - for personal reasons, I will NOT interview Alexander's Horse. If the interview with him is about to be done somewhen, I don't care who makes the questions and emails them to him, but I won't do it. He's nothing but the local super-spammer. I really hope he isn't reading this, but looks like he doesn't often read anything except OTF .
Harsh opinion.

A very harsh opinion... and also incorrect. AH is a major poster in the civ forums and is an avid civ mp player. Yes, many of the topics he starts in the civ forums are intended to generate response... but they add to the overall on topic experience. He's one of the infamous aussie posters, and the aussie community makes up a big share of the civ forum posts.

And that's why I suggested him. He is an important member of the Apolyton community and the CivII community... and would be a funny interview. He speaks his mind... and doesn't bullsh*t around. He's been at this site forever, and is one of the better known posters.

So next time... if you want to abuse somebody who is just an OTF poster, find a better example... because AH is a gamer first
