why not send a mail to them and ask if they are intrested in further opinions/suggestions? and if they are reading the general/suggestions forum at all...

[Robert]

yes !

I think we're done !
If we keep on doing new things etc. we will make all the former stuff less important !

We've given them already that much !
It would really be a bad idea to send them more and more and more !

I agree with Cybershy -- more will definitely be less. Apolyton would do better to focus on presenting both the EC3 and The List 2 in a way that new members can easily read and discuss.

I think it goes without saying that new ideas and discussions will be monitored by the team, informally...

We could make a list of our best lists ever. Passed by democratic vote.

I guess we could go for another one.
Not that it would make any difference in the developement, maby we shouldn't even send it to Firaxis, but atleast it would keep us occupied and keep the Civ3 forums alive. Even if new ideas all no longer needed, or are not feasible, thei'r still always good to keep up the spirits of the population while we wait for the game to come out, don't you think?

Not needed? They need ideas for Civ IV don't they?

[Gearyman]

Firaxis could allow the Apolyton site to "beta" test ideas and help improve ideas as they are working on them.

When Firaxis is looking for some input, they could send the idea/subject to the Apolyton site. Each 'idea' from Firaxis could have it's own discussion thread that would be open for a few days. We would comment and discuss the ideas, and that could give them specific help on an idea.

The difficulty would be on having Firaxis submit things to the Apolyton site. Of course, they don't have to 'let the cat out of the bag' in revealing secrets. They can just ask general questions about an area.

Um, could someone send me that list again? We're moving around right now (sort of office juggling), and I'm on my laptop. Silly me, I forgot to get the list on this computer.

I know I could get it online, but it was such a nicely formatted email...

[MidKnight Lament]

The first thread I look at this morning and it's got "Firaxis" in the left-hand column. Always so refreshing.

Ask and you shall surely receive... just not from me because I don't have it.
