[Immortal Wombat]

So so I. I posted a correction here, rather than in the corrections thread.

Good job DC

[Jon Shafer]

Don't post in this thread!

BTW, only posting so people won't think they can continue...

[DarkCloud]

After all the work that DC had put in to this, why not top the thread for a while?

[Ming]

That would be up to Mark or Dan... I was tempted to do it, but not my call.

[DarkCloud]

Thanks for the support Taz

and since the file directory is acting up; I'll post a preview of an updated Ming entry

(Was looking at some old threads and found some new info )

Not much an update- but just to show you that I'm still working

Description
The original Deity and advertising executive of Apolyton. Also the first Off-Topic moderator, (before MLeonard begged to be an assistant moderator for the off-topic)

Ming first started posting in the Civ II forums after coming to the First Greek Civilization II Site when the Addicted to Civ site shut its forums down for remodeling. Most of his first posts came in the Civ II strategy section; and he participated heavily in the discussions and OCC (one-city-challenge games); then when Civ II MP:Gold came out, he posted much there and sent his turn reports and multiplayer strategies.

After the Civ III wishlist forums came up, he became heavily involved in putting together the list of Cheats and Bugs for the Official Civ III List

In the early days, all of his friends were Civ II people, and he shied away from the new Off-Topic section; but his posting style and frequency became noticed by Mark, who made him the moderator in 1999. He only started posting heavily in the OT; however, after being recruited by Mark.

During his time as OT Moderator, he has been joined by Mleonard (who made a successful campaign for off-topic moderator in 1999), who then, after becoming moderator, gradually faded away, and in March 2001 was joined by Michael the Great, who remained for some time, until his baby was born and he had to devote more time to household duties. In 2002, Ming’s evil-twin brother rah joined him in moderating the Off-topic.

Ming is a sometimes serious poster, as well as being a sometimes humorous one. His well-knowncatch phrase for a closed thread is "CASE CLOSED".

His other trademark happens to be a (wink) at the end of each post, and he is infamous for the amount of winks that he uses in his posts.

Ming and the other moderators have recently been overworked by the massive amounts of new posters present after the release of Civ III. (As of Dec 2001) Especially evident in the fact that he receives about 30 post reports each day and probably closes more than three threads a day in the OT alone.

Ming manages to be online both at work and at home; certainly earning the honor as one of the most diligent moderators of all time. He has full banning rights and Post Count Reduction rights, able to access any forum section on apolyton and moderate it, including the staff room, where he maintains the sacred ban log… once a rumored secret… but now an incontrovertible fact. With all this power, Ming is almost as powerful as a Forum Administrator!

Description:
Orange was one of the first Off-Topic posters who I identified with and bonded with and created a friendship with. He is also the first Apolytoner whom I contacted with Instant Messenging.

He contributed to the Civ III ideas section, but it was truly in the OT where he left his mark with The Apolyton Yearbook, a guide to all Apolytoners that included their pictures.

His stances on Civ III issues are that: He hates the Iroquois and hates lots of wonders.

He is pro-abortion and anti-death penalty. No one is 'pro-abortion'. I'm pro-choice

He is a "Social Democrat" (read: hardline liberal/socialist )
orange is also an agnostic atheist. no one is an 'agnostic atheist'

DarkCloud, orange, laser, and Colony Pod participated in some very long debates (4-6 pages) at CGN, which, overall were unresolved. (DC and laser were the fascist/nationalistic/centrists), whereas orange and Colony Pod were the (Communists/Socialists/Anarchists)) hahaha...nothing to do with Apolyton, and inaccurate, but whatever

orange continues to moderate the off-topic at the Civilization Gaming Network and does so quite liberally.

If you like orange, you might try: Caesar the Great nice touch, though CtG and I are political opposites.

I can't even believe I'm here on this list somewhere, though I'm proud I haven't dropped much personal info around... that's always been one of my plans when coming here and actively participating (once I finally did).

I salute all the hard work done, and many thanks again on the recognition.

[Chieftess]

I'm not on the list, and I've been a lurker for 5 years, and used to post on the old TUC2S (probably under my real name if I could ever find any forum archives).
