Of course the admin/referee/observer should have access to the private forum.

Well if someone wanted to cheat and discuss it in the private forums, then of course you would want to restrict access now wouldn't youOriginally posted by UnOrthOdOx
Oh, we're back to the private forum issue again?
I really don't understand what is so averse to an impartial entity (admin) having acces to your forum. They aren't playing the game, just watching. What's the harm?

I have not thought of that. Can we keep the private forums closed?Banano Laŭrajta Registaro en Ekzilo - Bananoj gismorte!| Cows O' Plenty|Wish List For ciV | Ming on Spammers: ...And, how do you know that I'm not just spamming by answering him |"This is all about peace; and in the quest for peace you have none." -my son wise beyond his yearsComment

Oh wait...
Ming and MarkG will have access to any and all private forums anyway.
Chrisius, you don't have a choice in the matter. If you take part in the demogame, You Will Have an Overseer looking over your shoulder.
If you try to stop anyother impartial person from becoming a game mod, we will just have to ask Ming to look over the game...and I doubt that he will be pleased that you alone forced him to take on this extra responsibility...or maybe the admins would just install a game admin of their choosing, and ignore all of our views...
Take my advice. Try to pick someone you know and trust, in conjunction with the rest of us, to be game admin, or face having no say in the matter whatsoever.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Private go look it up in a dictionary !
will you also want access to my email inbox too ???
how about my msn chat logs ???
absolute crap!
This point again. This game WILL have admins who have access to all team forums. That is non-negotiable AFAIK. We learned lessons in the PTWDG, and recent events in the C3CDG only reinforce this need.
There are enough top-notch folks around to do this appropriately.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

I concur with Beta's statement.

Perfect statement.Originally posted by jagjef
Of course should the admin has full access to privet forum, it something is written their that is so bad that the admins shouldn't see it, it should not be written at all. Hindsight is good, and I have learnt in this. May our game administrators be diligent and graceful in their actions.

Okay Ill step back from my earlier point, its clear that if this was polled it would be majority in favour so im flogging a dead horse.
Im still not sure I agree but Ill go with the majority.A proud member of the "Apolyton Story Writers Guild".There are many great stories at the Civ 3 stories forum, do yourself a favour and visit the forum. Lose yourself in one of many epic tales and be inspired to write yourself, as I was.Comment

As anyone come forward for this task? Plus, we very likely might need a team, not just one admin. It is a big task so better arrange for backup.Originally posted by Beta

Well, I'd be happy enough to bow out of the Alpha Centaurians and jointly moderate this game.
I entered - and suggested an AC team - to learn from other players, but the learning is multiplied when CMN'ing (I moderated ACDG II) so that, too, would be attractive to me.
(And I might just be able to twist Vel's arm enough to share in moderator duties - we go back a long way together - and he can then examine the various strategies at work as he writes his Strategy Guide.)Comment

Googlie - that would be great. And having both you and Vel would be icing on the cake. Having a small handfull of folks is best (at least two) - to cover off for one another - and to have folks to consult amongst when issues do arise.
And yes, having the Sarantium tactic of Great and Abiding Light in Vel's strategy guide will be good too.
