history on apolyton

[HuangShang]

Yo... think apolyton can create a historical section

[Boris Godunov]

Any kind of history?

[Marquis de Sodaq]

The World History forum at Civfanatics is a good lead to follow. The discussions have generally been very good. Having such a forum here would mean I don't need to go there anymore...

[loinburger]

What kind of things would be in a historical section? Things like "Let's make an alternate history story thread," or things like "Why I'm pissed that the [insert civilization here] isn't in Civilization," or what?

[Rogan Josh]

Do you mean 'cilivistion historical' or 'off-topic historical'?

[Robert]

He means the Spink, Area 25, Black Saturday, CS Banned for pathatic reasons, kind of stuff.

A history forum would be good, and it has a natural tie-in with the nature of Civ. However you've got to lay down the ground rules or such forums get bogged down with constant thread-jacking about the accuracy of the bible.

Then you've got to consider whether alternate history or pseudo/mystical history in the Graham Hancock vein gets in. Personally I'm all for it, but I doubt it'll happen on the grounds that it's "off topic" (which I would dispute).

hi ,

when its going to happen it should stay in the community , but threadjacking and spam would not be allowed , .....
and if it has the support of the owners and mods , why would anyone want to bring spam to something that is nice and intresting for the entire community

have a nice day

Hmm, this has been brought up here a few times, the answer is always no.

I don't see why it can't be tried out.

hi ,

playing ahead ; NO

strategic playing during the same turn , yes , we could learn a lot from it

since its back on top , why not deal with it

have a nice day

I suggest a history related forum too, as I would be one of the regulars. Perhpas Markos and Dan could at least think about it. IMHO a very good idea!

Now, the only obstruction is that the admins probably would like that the posts in that group wouldn't count, but that's a problem we could probably handle.

Panag- I've read your post in which you quote me with great interest. However what you've written appears to bear no relation to my post that you quoted. Have you been drinking creosote?

[loinburger]

What's creosote? Is it anything like spotted ****?
