It occurs to me that we should make something clear to everybody: Thread Masters are NOT there to kill ideas but to foster and organize them. Thread Masters are not actually masters but servants of the Civ3 community. Think of yourself as a "ThreadHead" if that helps!
I realize just how hard it is not to shoot down ideas that seem really lame to you, particularly when you are so passionate about a topic. But as a Thread Master, you must see yourself no longer as just a part in the discussion. You are the facilitator, the nourisher of the discussion. And remember, we should ultimately have faith that Brian, when confronted with conflicting or impossible ideas, will make the right choice. Importanly, let's remember: the more people whose ideas are represented on this list, the more Brian will feel comfortable that we are not just a couple guys with an agenda.
Let's make this a fun and productive environment for all of us. We have a long way to go!
So, if you are a Thread Master, please read and agree to the following so we can ensure the greatest list in Civ. history:
THE THREAD MASTER'S CREED:
I hereby pledge that, as Thread Master, my only interest is in helping provide the best possible list of ideas to the Firaxis team. Thus, I will not disregard ideas I don't like, nor will I engage in or condone flaming other people.
I will remain impartial and helpful at all times.
