However, returning to the more important information: yin 26’s listmastering tasks are not to be underestimated- he sorted thorough THOUSANDS of posts to find the best to submit to Firaxis in that huge 200 to 400-or-so page sacred document that is THE LIST.

    Rules for voting

    Everyone can vote for 3 posters

    Registered In/Before 1999- 4 points per vote
    Registered In 2000- 3 points per vote
    Registered In 2001- 2 point per vote
    Registered In 2002- 1 points per vote

    You may not vote for yourself.
    All ‘frivolous’ votes are thrown out.
    You may only vote once in the hall of fame (for 3 people) IF you try to vote more than once ALL of your votes will be made void.

    As per suggestion by MOBIUS, the last vote's are carried onto the next votes.
    As per suggestion by Solver, all previous votes are carried onto the next votes.

    FAQ:

    “Trust me, an on-topicer will never win “

    What about Xin Yu? What about Velociryx?
    And remember, many of these ‘mostly-OT posters’ used to be huge on-topic posters back around 1998-99!

    “Where is the Hall of Fame usually posted?”

    From December 2000 to August 2002, the Hall of Fame had only been posted in the Off Topic forums; with occasional forays into the Apolyton/Community section. However, nowadays you can find the Apolyton Hall of Fame in the Civ III-General, CTP I-MP, CTP II-General, AC-General and one of the Alt.Civ sections (rotatable ) in addition to the Off Topic; with links INTO the voting realm in the Apolyton-Community and Civ II-General sections.

        On-Topic RULES!!
        The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

          Modders/Posters This Year

          I'd like to thank some of the group who's hard work has helped improve the games, as well as spending hours posting documentation, and answering questions from less technologically enlightened souls such as myself. Therefore the Great Province of Changmai casts its delegates for a group who have moved mountains (figuratively):

          Hexagonian (4), Wes W (4), Dale (4)

          I know I can't vote for more , but I'll save their names for next rounds . Which reminds me... does voting once mean once per lifetime, or once per year?

            Thank you for voting Theseus, and Changmai

            I'll add Changmai's posts next time I post an update; roughly 10-15 hours from now!

            And voting is once per session. Each session you can vote for someone new.

            the next session will be to elect 2 people in january (tradition), then the next will be sometime in march,june or july; and the next in aug/oct, and finally, the traditional december election of 4-8 members!

              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                I haven't been here a long time, but my vote counts! so I'm gonna use it (alphabetical order):

                alexman
                Arrian
                notyoueither

                I agree with Theseus that on-topic does rule, and I can't understand why anyone should be in the Hall of Fame if they're predominantly OT posters...Could someone explain this to me?
