As far as a next update goes, you guys will have to wait for that until after the weekend since I don't have time today and I'll be out of town all weekend, starting tomorrow (there goes my CivTrivia score ).

As far as the Polish 'invasion' goes, your explanation is much appreciated, LoD, it explains a lot. Of course I don't mind people promoting this thread to Civ3 fans outside Apolyton (heck, I thought it was cool to see my name in a Polish text ), but I'm not sure if I'm extremely happy with the way in which you promoted it. Of course I don't speak Polish but from what I can see you explicitly tell people to come to this thread, press the reply button, type "Poles 20" in the reply window and hit 'submit reply'. As I don't speak Polish and don't know what you tell in the rest of the text I don't want to jump to conclusions but this smells a bit like (intended or unintended) manipulation to me. I can understand why you do it (and I don't really blame you for doing it) - this way people who don't or hardly speak English can also vote - but I think it would be much better if you would just encourage people to "vote" or to "vote for your favourite civs (for example Poland)", but not to encourage them to "vote for only Poland" or anything like that.

If people have a problem with voting in English, I speak many languages, they can vote in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Greek or whatever as well, even in Polish if they don't speak any other language (if I can't figure out what they mean, I could ask one of the Polish guys around here to translate for me or I could go to the library and look it up in a dictionary). I prefer people to vote in English but failing that I'd much rather have them vote in Polish for their own choices than to vote just for Poland in English because they weren't aware there were any other options...

Of course, I'm not just talking about LoD's Polish website here, if anyone else wants to promote this thread to Civ3 fans outside Apolyton that's fine with me but please just encourage people to vote (in any language), not to vote for any particular civ(s). Of course, you can suggest certain choices, we all do this all the time here in this forum, but I would much appreciate it if you didn't 'enforce' them in any way.

[LoD]

Fatty: You're quite welcome, since it's a fact, whether you like it or not . That "Enigma" movie is a historical blunder (I especially dislike an idea that a Polish officer could even think about betraying the Allies for revenge ), and got quite a couple of people protesting against it, including Norman Davies.

Mankind: Wszystkie zasady dokladnie wyjasnilem w tekscieApelu, wiec radze go dokladnie przeczytac.

Apel (znowu ) do wszystkich Polaków - do argumentacji na rzecz Polski sluzy watek "Why Poland SHOULD be included in one of the official sets" a nie ten. Nie dezorganizujcie pracy Locutus'owi!!!


Locutus: You probably mean this line:

6. W pole Your Reply wpisujesz "Poles 20" i ewentualnie inne cywilizacje (zgodnie z zasadami które opisa³em w poprzedniej wiadomo¶ci - patrz wy¿ej).

TRANSLATION:

6. In the Your Reply field write "Poles 20" and optionally other civs (according to the rules I described in the previous post - see above).

I assure you, I don't use communist methods such as "gather all the people in the village, transport them to the voting commision, and tell them who to vote for >>or else<<" .

(Edit): And the whole step-by-step instruction is only appendix to the actuall "manifesto", added because some people had problems with posting their choices.

LoD

[Mankind]

I voted for the Polynesians too, and thanks to the fans of Poland they aren´t in the top 16 anymore. But thanks for voting for them, Staszek.

IMO, Southeast Asia / Australia / Oceania should be represented by at least one of 32 civs.

[Gramphos]

Tomasz Wysocki tries to vote twice for the Poles. NONE of hiis votes should count!!!!

[LoD]

Gramphos: I would me more careful in your judgements if I were you. That's probably a double post. The guy posted once, didn't see the "Thank you for your post" message (probably due to reload times - modem connections in Poland can be very slow at times), assumed it wasn't posted, and posted again. Simple as that.
BTW, two words - presume innocence.

With different subjects?
OK, I was overreacting. Hadn't eaten anything for 7 hours.

[LoD]

Gramphos: Yes, with different subjects, that's what I meant - he had rewriten the message. Hapened to me a couple of times throughout my forum career.

And once you get your hands on something mangeable - bon apetit .
