    Here comes the $64,000 question: Why is it so important to get posters interviewed in the first place, OT or non-OT?

    As I see it, Everyone is free to post and convey their opinions and recollections about games and Apolyton in any thread here on the forums. For that matter, everyone is free to set up an interview thread asking questions to whomever they like. We've had a ton of those already.

    Is this really just about seeing one's name in lights (i.e. prominently placed as a news item) - both for the interviewee and the interviewer?

    Because it sure looks like it, judging from this "debate".

      It is. It is also a matter of principle. Everyone who has spent a lot of time and contribuited a lot to Apolyton should have a fair chance to be interviewed in the spotlight.

        No, it's not. It's for fun. As simple as that.

          If it is indeed for fun, people seem to get awfully upset about it. Reminds me of that whole Apolytoner of the Season thing we had a year ago. Everyone was fighting about who could get nominated and who couldn't. And it was as much a pseudo-event as anything.

          I think some folks just have a strong need need to prove to others how important they are. Unfortunately, getting oneself interviewed on an Internet side (or interviewing someone in the same context) won't exactly cut it.

            Winston, your profile says you registered in March 99, which means you’re here for two years already. Shouldn’t you be aware by now that Apolytoners always fight about issues that really don’t matter one iota?

              Yes, Colon. I'm just pointing it out in the hopes that not everybody will get so engulfed in this interview business that they lose all sense of perspective. A few on this thread have me a bit worried...

                  We want people to lose perspective, it keeps them at Apolyton.

                    I'm working with that.

                    All I'm saying is a couple of others should start as well - today rather than tomorrow. Hence my comments above.

                      Wow! Bugs ****ing Bunny is Lazarus and the Gimp? That explains a lot. I can't keep track of all these name changes.

                      hey, maybe I have heard of solver after all! is he maybe orangesfwr? or maybe christantine?

                      Nah, he couldn't be Christantine. Solver's not that cool
                      Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST

                      I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

                        TRUST ME when I say that he isn't orangesfwr (who is now just orange)

                        Solver has never gone through a name change to the best of my knowledge
                        Keep on Civin'

                          I assume you are merely joking and spamming

                          OrangeSfwr is orange
                          Lazarus is Bugs,Trappist,etc.

                              In that case, I never heard of the guy until he became interview dude.

                                Oh, Man! I really liked him , too.

                                BTW, I guess this is my spam post for the day.
