The Rivalry Continues

[H Tower]

i think he's implying that you didn't provide as much coverage of SimGolf as you did for Civ3. for instance, there is no sim golf forum on apolyton

A wise decision, if I may say it. That forum would be gathering dust by now.

H Tower, we never announced we would do a full coverage of simgolf....

this doesnt necessarily apply to all non-civ firaxis' games...

[Apocalypse]

It is an assumption. This X-COM game will only cover a few years timespan at most. Every other game ACS covers is hundreds of years long.

You didn't cover Antietam! either. And you Alpha Centauri coverage is severly lacking, at least compared to a certain site that was around a couple years ago.

Ras, what's that Greek flag for?
I hear that the Greeks have banned computer gaming, so perhaps it's not appropriate for these forums.

You need to look at places on Apolyton other than the forum. The last news updates was "Greek Gamers Play On"

awsome! a new "what kind of games apolyton is supposed to cover" rule!

You didn't cover Antietam! either.

please refer to my previous answers

And you Alpha Centauri coverage is severly lacking, at least compared to a certain site that was around a couple years ago.

yeah right

[The Pioneer]

Huh!? So why wasn't Gettysburg and Antietam covered?

So long...

if you do a search in this forum, you'll find the answer

Read my signature. BTW, it will not last forever, unless I decide that I'm going to be a wannabe Greek forever.

I don't see the connection. In that case nobody should use the Greek flag.

[The Pioneer]

Sorry Marko, but the search did not lead me to an answer! Can you provide a link!

Danke!

So long...

[MarkG]

short answer: we did not have the ability, nor was that much interest in our visitors for an expansion pack of a game that was released before the creation of the site....

whoa, that wasn't criticism!

and judging by your responses in this thread, i'd say you are having a bad day. Why don't you go to the OT and hand down a few bannings and PCRs to make you happy again?

/me to apocalypse pssst! what if he actually does it?

[DanQ]

First, regarding SimGolf -- we will not be having full coverage of the game or a dedicated forum to it either. In addition, there will be no future "miscellaneous" updates for the game either.

It is not apart of our coverage now, nor will it be in the future.

And you Alpha Centauri coverage is severly lacking, at least compared to a certain site that was around a couple years ago.

Apocalypse: there has not been much Alpha Centauri news recently. That said, as with any of our sections, if someone finds a news item pertaining to one of the games that we cover that we have not covered to that point, they are both welcomed and indeed encouraged to let us know about it.

Second: comparing our site now to our own site two years in this regard is not meaningful, let alone another site (and indeed, if I am following your inference correctly, one which also no longer exists).

Dan: I know there is no SMAC news recently. I am really just talking about Jan '99 through Aug '99.

Mark: I'll reply to you tommarow when I have more time.
