    Hey how about some better attribution of news stories

    The report that Civ III will not have cities on mountains was the third occasion on which a Firaxis staffer has revealed something about the game on one of my threads - but I haven't been acknowledged in any of the news stories which resulted on the Civ III page.

    I also happened to have campaigned for this latest news on the Civ III and Civ II forums, sparking a huge debate.

    What am I? The invisible poster?

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

    Hey, when Brian Reynolds replied to my initial post on a thread about borders, and announced to the world that Civ 3 would have em, did you see me crying for accolades?

    Well, maybe a little, but nothing like this.

        Ya right...

        Hey, thanks for the oportunity to tell everyone again about my little chat w/ my buddy Brian.

        Hey Horsie, I see w/ this mountain/city bit that you're starting to become helpful to the public, very nice.

        A little unusual for a middle level civil servant, but what the heck...

        Congrats, nice job btw.

                Did you report the news story? Nope. No credit, then. Simple enough...

                    Hey if you give Horsie his proper place in the news report, could you mention me as well? I supported him back then...

                        GP, and exactly what hideous insult are you trying to hide there?

                            Now AH -- when people visit a thread that resuled in a corresponding news item, and I'm certain most people do in these instances, they will clearly see who started the thread in question.

                            Tada! Credit received.
