Apolyton University Poll 3 - Civgroup icon

Err...what is a Civgroup anyway? I'm new here.

A civgroup is a group of people who have come together to play an aspect of one of the games highlighted on 'Poly. For example next to my knight avatar there is the C3DG which stands for Civilization 3 Democracy Game. That means I'm part of that particular democracy game which anyone can join (others, such as the intersite democracy game you must be approved to join first). The democracy games are one of the areas we're currently trying to improve the visibility of, hence my polls here. We want to make all these things accessible for new people.

To view all the current civgroups, look near the top of each page to the list of links there. One of them says 'civgroup' and will take you to the page where they are located.

In the case of the AU civgroup, part of the reason for it is to increase the visibility of the Apolyton University to new people as well as people who have been posters on 'Poly for a long time but had never heard of AU.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

If I was actualy good at the game, I'd consider joining one of them. Maybe someday.

That's the beauty of Apolyton University. It helps you learn new strategies and tactics in-game. You can see how other people go about the same game you are playing (and the strategies are often similar no matter what difficulty level you play).

For democracy games, you're part of a group of people who give their opinions on how the game should be played. Also great for picking up new ideas and strategies. Like OPD said in the democracy game poll I'd highly recommend trying the PTWDGII. It's just starting so you can see a democracy game from the beginning.

Based on the count so far, it looks like a lock.

another possible version

AU is clearly visible, but it isn't as boring as just the two lettres.

again, colors can be changed. just ask...

has anyone thought of a logo for AU?

[Rhothaerill]

Anyone else have any AU icons they'd like to share? All will be taken into consideration.

And a slight bump to keep this on the first page for people who haven't had a chance to vote on this yet.

[Tassadar500]

Sabrewolf thats your best yet. Maybe change the Pink to Red...

[Konquest02]

Sabrewolf, the last one and the transparent AU without the graduation hat are quite nice... keep up the good work. Might want to drop the pink in the last one though...

[sabrewolf]

well, actually it was red at first, but it's not too well readable on the blue background. so i made the reds brighter.... but it did look a bit pink

well, here's a red one...

[Rhothaerill]

That happened to me in one of my earlier attempts at an AU icon. The red just doesn't show up too well against the blue.

In a few days I'm going to post another poll to vote on which icon we like to be able to present to the civgroup mod. So far my vote is still with sabrewolf's non-grad-hat icon.

[sabrewolf]

another two...
light blue instead of red text

this one with greenish vertical beam, next one blueish

i personally like this one better.

btw: unfortunatly one cannot attach more than one file , so sorry for the spamming... hopefully my last ones now

[sabrewolf]

blue vertical beam, otherwise same as the one before...
last one for now...

edit: whoa, difference hardly detectable with the gray background...

[vmxa1]

sabrewolf I like the lat one and BTW Prince's are expected to do a little spaming.

[sabrewolf]

well, after reaching 500 i havn't really had too much interest in spaming ... can't keep up with some full-time-posters

[vmxa1]

Yeah after King there is no incentive. After you get to Emperor it is hopeless.
