He didn't exist until after PTW and he has few posts. Which is a classic profile for a plant or alternate logon for someone already active.

Not saying its 100%, but close enough to make me a little uneasy.

[Panzer32]

Yeah, OK. I dunno, I'd really like to let people in, but I still want to be wary about spies. Maybe we can coordinate something with original members PM.

[=OttomusCeasar=]

I say we let Galvatron in, but not HotEnamel.

Also, I would propose that we make a public announcement that porspective members must prove they are "warlike" for membership and hold a debate similiar to the court sessions in the Democracy game in the public forum where the prospective member can defend his warlikeness before the world.

Then we would vote in our own forum and announce the whether they were in or not in the public one.

It would give us the aura of some secret military order.

[Donegeal]

I am going to admit Galvtron.

[Donegeal]

I see both Unortho and GF are in a PBEM game with Hot_Enamel. Might he be a possible new teammate?

I am okay with Hot_Enamel, I figure if someone wants to find out what we are doing they will probably find away.

[Donegeal]

In addition to Hot_Enamel we now have two others trying to get in:

realpolitic
ZigMonty

Realpolitic is a Warlord, has 160 some posts, many of them in the stragety forum. Unknown at this time if he is a warmonger.

ZigMonty is a settler. He has two posts. Both made today. He also registered today (12-3-02 BTW)

Realpolitic seems ok to me, but I kinda want to keep our numbers down for a little.

ZigMonty---FAT CHANCE! I don't think I would approve him even if he was voted in! Not like thats going to happen. My bet is he is a DL and someone is just testing.

I am going to check the number of new regestars per day for the last week or so to see if an unusual pattern arises...

[UnOrthOdOx]

realpolitik would be a nice addition. He's always had intelligent posts in the C3DG, when he does post.

[Aro]

I agree with donegeal in the ZigMonty case. We have to wait and see how the behaviour of this “citizen” is.
Realpolitic seems ok to me, he's is very participant.
If he is a warmonger or not... well, I used to be a coward builder, but in the C3DG I learned how to enjoy wars... Now, I'm involved in wars in all my games, right from the start...

[Panzer32]

Yes, let Realpolitic in. He sounds rather warmongering/Macciavalian (did i spell that right). As for ZigMonty, I don't know. I appreciate the need for secrecy if he is a DL (what does that stand for, anyway?), but if he really is new and just got civ III now, I would want to let him in. We really do need more contributing members (rather than members that do nothing).

Aro: new avatar?? Do you plan to change it back when you start doing maps again? I liked the old one

Yep, when I restart the job... I like the old one, too (needs to be updated, of course... the world of Apolytonia is BIG!)
But I'll use my favorite sax player for a while...

[GhengisFarb™]

realpolitic is okay by me but I think we should start telling people that we are limiting the number until we have proper citystates for our lords to "lord over".

[Donegeal]

So HE (Hot_Enamel) and Reapolitic are OK?
