Excellence can be attained if you Care more than other think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical and Expect more than others think is possible.

I appreciate it Jawa, but you're gonna have to explain your logic here....
You help keep the worthwhile conversations going and..
The weakness in your gameplay when you first started posting were exactly the same one's I used to have. It brought back found memories. I enjoyed watching your cities getting a little closer and your style more violent. To make a long story short (too late) you have given us the best documented conversion to the dark side.Comment

Well thank you Jawa. I am playing my first full Emperor game, right now, with the Ottomans. I am almost out of the Ancient Age, and am feeling really well. Expect a full AAR based on what I have learned the past few weeks, and the differences that I found between Monarch and Emperor.
Let me tell you that I appreciated your thread on the Arab Conversion game. It was nice to know that you can win with a cultural focus, which I will probably try working into my game as I get better.
Oh. In my current game, I'm being a real d!ck too.Comment

Dissident-
But you are doing Demogames now, (although I can't see why you have the intersite demo game thing on... since the intersite civ II demo game was dead last I checkedI'll never win
I'm used to it
) and your MP playing should net you some votes

@ BRC! I agree with Jawa's comments btw... you became a very valuable member of the community very quickly. You may have noticed I like making sure newer players are getting helped around here... watching your quick evolution has been fun.

If you are interesting, you'll receive votes regardless of where you post. Handicap systems are just a crutch for the dull.Originally posted by Dominae
Votes for on-topic posters should count for double. The disclaimer that "on-topic posters will never win" sours this whole Hall of Fame idea (for me at least). I see no point in handing out awards for what is essentially glorified chat.

OT = more veterans (which means more points also), and more people who care about this sort of thing. Therefore, they will usually always win. I'm not sure how many on-topic posters there are or near the top 10...Comment

This whole on-topic/off-topic issue is crap. The predominantly off-topic posters on that list are all (almost without exception) old on-topic posters and have all provided masses of entertainment that has helped keep this place lively. Show me any on-topicer claiming greater inherent worth and I'll show you a self-deluded anal-retentive who's taking a mere ego fondling thread waaaaaay too seriously.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

How does OT "entertainment" keep the site lively for the majority of posters who don't even visit the OT?Lime roots and treachery!

Because the OT people stick around in the interim between games... if they left; then there wouldn't be any community for the newbies to come to.How does OT "entertainment" keep the site lively for the majority of posters who don't even visit the OT

If anything, it's already weighted towards On-topic posters. You think Trip would have been 11th if all his activities had been in the OT? No disrespect to the bloke (he's fine by me) but it takes a damned sight longer to make any sort of impression when you're a small fish in the OT's Pacific.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment
