Well..The reason I feel I should be interviewed is the following:

#1-I am a fairly colorful and innovative writer(hmm..lets just say i enjoy writing very much!) Well being a troll, I suppose you must be rather green in the face.

#2-Come from a long line of CIV & CIV related gaming..(just one more...t-u-r-n) It's a valuable experience that builds character (and sleep cycle problems). Never play PC games past midnight!

#3-I volunteered as I want to show support and offer to be bottom step from which all others step on to be a better story! I'd love to stomp on you!

#4-I love posting on Apolyton and for all I have gotten enjoyment of here, would like to give back a small portion to the community! Give and you shall receive in abundance.

#5-I have been here for maybe 4-4.5 years (ok..I was DrDoofus (a nicname from my High School daze in the 1970's) to start with then Troll (Thanks to Alexanders Horse from Australia ) then thanks to Ming (and my Grandson!!) I got changed to Grandpa Troll this past Christmas! WHAT!?! It took you 4 years to notice the story forum? Is Ming still a baby? Is he a troll too?

#6-Who are YOU whom is not yet listed questioning ME? a really nice sorta fella? I am unscratchedfoot and OF COURSE I AM NICE!!!

Ok..thats a small list of reasons WHY! OKAY!

Plus I like sending nice messages to people whom are not a member of my particular civilization I am portraying!!( J/k)
Peace WAR is better!! (on the PC anyways)

who do we appreciate?

STORYWRITERS

S U P P O R T
them!!

yay

[SKILORD]

There's an idea story forum cheerleaders. Everybody make a d/ with some sort of feminine sounding name and the pic of a really hot chick as the avatar and basically post support comments.

hehe, I don;t think it would work for rel and I want to establish that I don't seriously support this idea or any use of d/l's ever.

Where are vovan and Chrisus?

[Paddy]

bring on the cheerleaders

Chrisius is on leave until about 19 August

he needs a laptop

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Coooey Im here , and I cant afford a Laptop

Well not right now at least

I will gladly take part in the interviews etc and think it a great idea

My apologies for being away for a while, but as Paddy said Ive been on holidays and prior to that started a new job etc. Time has been in very short supply over the Summer months.

I have also made a suggestion regarding Metaliturtles joint story idea in the thread regarding it, ie we play an 8 player or 8 teams PBEM game, and write a tale to go with it. Of course this would be more complicated than a demo game as there would need to be more organisation with saves etc. The difference between a Demo and PBEM is the number of civs that can be controlled by human players/teams, but the limit of 8 teams total applies to all PBEM, where as in a single civ demo game we could edit in up to 30 opponents

[Paddy]

sounds like a good idea

So, it's grandpa's turn to do SKILORD as soon as the 1st interview is posted.

who else wants to get in the queue?

Why am I here?

I'm new to this forum and thought you might like to know how I found my way here.

The civgroup icon for the Story Writers Guild is intriguing. Looking up what that cool little symbol meant is what brought me here.

I don't read the news letter, but if contest winners were mentioned on the CivIII main page I would certainly see that.

I'm using the topped polls as an index to this forum. It works good enough, but a thread with links to stories and a brief teaser by the author, like in book jackets, would be fabulous.

Thanks to all the authors and organisers here. I suspect that once you get someone here they keep coming back.



Now look at this banana, I think he's a good dancer.
