Cyber: I'll gladly offer to be a good enemy as well! And the image is quite nice, but I'll keep the plain ol' dog for a while! Thanks, though.

None of our pessimism is or will be "unbased"

So far your club hasn't stated any official public statement, thus I can't argue you on this right now.
If I look back to the past of the club's president I'm holding my breath about next to come unbased pessimism.

But if you're right and no pessimism will come out of your mouth I'm sure we can concider that to be a victory to the realistic club, and be happy that we have influenced your club in a positive way !

Hey, take credit for the sun rising, too!

[Robert]

that would be too optimistic !
please try harder to sound realistic if you ever want to be a good vp of our club !

[Fidel]

My Statement about the Club

sorry bout the dbl post

My Statement about the Club

Here's the reasons that I joined the club:

-I am concerned over the development of two major titles at once, both being led by Sid(thus divideing his time between the two games).

- I think that the Civ series should continue to be the standard for TBS games. The lack of real evolution in the Civ3 concerns me on this. If things go as planned for the MOO3 team we may be calling Civ3 "MOO on earth".

- I was really hoping that Friaxis whould listen to some of the great ideas in the list, and take most of them to create revolutionary TBS game(instead of a minor one). since Civ3 is going to be a evolution in the series, i am disappinted)

-The lack of any news abour Civ3 for awhile(at least any intersting ones), instead most of the news has been about SimGolf.

- The screenshots with the ugly terrain. I hope that it is alpha graphics that we are seeing.

- My worst fear is that Civ3 will turn out to be SMAC all over again.

That's why I joined the club, since yin26 has been one of the leading critics about Civ3 and I belive that we are being short shafted by Fraixis. and I think that this is the feeling of alot of Civers on the board.

We should all set up a time to go to the next simgolf chat that Sid is in and start spamming tons of civ3 questions. Maybe one of the moderators will say something to Sid about all his civ3 fans who got ignored Maybe it would go to show him which game is more important. Simgolf? Who cares?

[One More Turn!]

I joined because I want to be excited about Civ3. That's my primary reason for lurking around here at Apolyton. As I stated in another thread however, the lack of information about Civ3 is starting to make me nervous. I am hoping that by discussing this, we can entice Firaxis into a more open dialogue. I will be very happy if the Civ3 web site goes up and blows me away with its content, but am not counting on it.

Please sign me up.

Yins posts have given me the most hope for Civ III I have seen in several months.

YIN'S posts?! Some of his thoughts were pessimistic to the point that they were disturbing, like he was on drugs or something

re:Club's First Discussion

Is there a log of the chat availiable for those who missed it? I would like to read it.

I'd be interested in this too. Did any civ3 questions slip through the moderators?

[MarkG]

I know I may have already joined the pessimist club but I'm not really sure if I'm a 100% pessimist. I know I'm not a realist nor am I an optimist. The only reason why I joined this club is because I liked Yin's vistion statement. I don't feel that the vision statement is very pessimistic, though. I'm not really sure what it is but I know that's what I am. I think it might be a combination of many things. I don't mean to sound unloyal, I'm trying to show some honesty. What would I really qualify under? I do happen to like this club except for the fact that a pessimist is a person who expects the worst. I don't expect the worse, I only like to state the worst that could happen. I don't really think the worst will happen but to prevent any chance of the worst happening I show my fears. This is something I completely showed in the previous colonies thread. What I'm getting at is that I don't think I'm a pessimst, a realist, or an optimist. I think I might just be well I don't know. What do you think?
