By prompting for first and last name, the script attempts to deceive people into giving information they'd otherwise have left out. Not very flattering at a site like Apolyton.

it's the other way around
the script is actually tempting you to decieve it by puting in "sid meier"

I just put a blank space in those fields though.

Nice new feature, but am I the only one who was disturbed at being forced to enter first/last name to enable its use? Big brother is watching...

well you are already giving away your first name and last name initial in your username.

perhaps i need to put a "we wont check with the bfi for the validity of this information" disclaimer...

Since it's country of choice - I choose no country.

JB what's the first flag?

[Jay Bee]

Don't you have Civ2 MGE? it's the one on top of the caravel in the box cover, Castile (I am Castilian, you know)

[Locutus]

Nice feature but eh... where's my Heimat, namely Twente?

Flemish flag ... someone asked

Thanks, Siro

But that "Flemish Party flag" is wrong because it's from before the war and should best be forgotten...

Markos, would it be possible to add Flanders to the list of countries with the flag Siro posted? It's almost an independent country

TIA

Right-click on the flag and choose properties. That will give you the filename, in his case Armenia.gif.

You don't even have to right-click, Paul. There's a mouse-over text box that pops up, containing the country's name.

Which I'm afraid also kind of kills the suspense of finding out which country's flag you chose, Spartak.

That mouse-over text box is outstanding.
Now Apolyton is becoming educational.
