  • The Apolyton Hall of Fame: January 2003

    <B>4th Post down from here contains VOTING RESULTS!</b>

    <b>Hello and welcome to another edition of the Apolyton Hall of Fame!</b>

    <b>What is it?</b>
    The Apolyton Hall of Fame (HoF) is a list of people who contributed a lot to the community here on Apolyton. For example: Xin Yu was inducted in the HoF for his incredible strategy and MP contributions to the Civ2 section, yin26 for his fantastic work on 'The List' with suggestions for Civ3. <b>Every member of the Hall of Fame has made great contributions to Apolyton and the Civilization community - these people and their accomplishments must be remembered by us all!</b>

    If you don't recognize many names you probably haven't been here very long and/or hardly ever post outside this forum - in that case this HoF might be a good opportunity to learn something about them. <b>That is why this Hall of Fame was created: to remember and learn.</b>

    Periodically, we hold a vote for the Apolytoners who we think contribute the most to Apolyton, the ones who make Apolyton what it is. The winners shall be inducted in the Hall of Fame and their names will live forever in the annals of APOLYTON!

    <b>History</b>
    The idea for the Hall of Fame was born in late 2000 as an outgrowth of the old Apolyton Army and Apolytoner of the Season Contests, seeking to honor the people of Apolyton in a more meaningful and structured way.

    The first edition was held in the Off Topic in December 2000 over a period of 3 days and is currently archived. The first election saw Markos and Dan, the owners and administrators of this site, and the first 10 posters inducted.

    Since then, the HoF vote has been held roughly 4 times a year with 11-14 total members being elected every year. Up until August 2002, the vote was held only in the Off Topic forum - from that time on it has been posted in other sections (first in Civ3, later also in SMAC, CtP1-MP, CtP2, etc).

    <u>Special Thanks/Why we do certain things:</u>
    Ming for archiving the first thread and helping manage the thread in its early days.
    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.
    As per suggestion by Martin Guhman, December votes are extended till 6 days.
    As per suggestion by Locutus, introduction revised.

    <b>This edition</b>
    Welcome to the January 2003 edition of the APOLYTON HALL OF FAME

    (2 Members to be inducted this session)
    (Only 12 total will be elected this year)
    You have approximately 4 days to vote (until the ___).

    Please vote today and elect some of your brethern to join the historic December class; consisting of such hallowed names as Adam Smith, DanQ, MarkG, Giant Squid, St Leo, Ming, Snapcase and more.

    So now is your chance to decide: who should be inducted in the HoF this time? Celestial_Dawn for this pioneer work in modding CtP1? WesW for his work on both MedMods, JohnT, the former Apolyton Librarian and debating poster, Googlie or Hydro for their extensive work in AC Fiction and Multiplayer, Hexagonian for his Cradle accomplishments? Or maybe orange for the Apolyton Yearbook? Or perhaps Fez for his amusing rants? It's up to you, now: <b>Remember, your vote counts!</b> And you only have 4 days in which to make it count!

    <b>Notice:</b>
    This is a satellite thread: you may vote here, but the votes won't be updated in this thread- instead, they will be updated in these threads: OT (Link), Civ III (Link) Because they proved to be the most popular voting locations.

    Everyone can vote for 3 posters

    Registered In/Before 1999- 4 points per vote
    Registered In 2000- 3 points per vote
    Registered In 2001- 3 point per vote
    Registered In 2002- 2 points per vote
    Registered In 2003- 1 point per vote

    -You may not vote for yourself.
    -All ¡¥frivolous¡¦ votes are thrown out.
    -Giving your vote to someone merely because they ask is considered a frivolous vote.

    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.

    Time Limit for voting is: 4 Days Roughly¡KUsually when the voting starts dying down.


    2) 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!

    Disclaimer:

    The Hall of Fame is based on whoever people vote for, and as Lazarus and the Gimp stated so eloquently: ¡§"The compilers of this list cannot rule out the possibility of inductees being a bunch of utter ****s" Thus. Please. Don¡¦t shoot the messenger.

    ¡§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 OT (main) Civ III (main) and with satellite threads that link into the hall of fame in the following sections: CTP II MP, AC-General, Alt.Civ section-„³Clash of Civilizations (b/c it has 2nd most posts in alt.civ), Civ III DemoGame sections.

    Also, the Hall of Fame is currently lobbying to become a news item.

    ¡§How long is voting?¡¨

    Voting will continue for roughly 4 days.
    In December; voting will be 6 days.

          Come on people, there's not a single CtPer in this list, this needs to change! Vote now!

          Without the people Martin mentioned we would never have come here in the first place. However, without a whole bunch of other people we would have left a long time ago. I give my votes to 3 of them:

                        None of those golden oldies mean much to my Apolyton time so ill give my votes to more recent people. I noticed there isnt any veteran strategist or highly regular MP'ers on Apolyton to vote for in CtP2, thats a shame. anyhow

                          1. Immortal Wombat - Not only for his work and helpfulness in CTP2 , but also because he's in OT a lot. I'd never vote for a straight OTer, even though the results are always slanted to them...

                          2. WesW - Simply because his Modwork in CTP1 got me into CTP2 Modding. Wish he was still here.

                          3. Locutus - because he is the soul of this CTP2 Forum as Moderator. (and a decent SLICcer to boot.)


                          I'd vote for Dale (CTP2 Modder and Alt-civer), Coracle (a truthful and very humerous burr in the civ3 saddle - nothing makes me laugh more to see some of the regular civ3 posters get their undies in a bunch when he shows up...) and both Peter Triggs and Martin Guhmann because of their SLICs and helpfulness, if I had the votes.
                          Yes, let's be optimistic until we have reason to be otherwise...No, let's be pessimistic until we are forced to do otherwise...Maybe, let's be balanced until we are convinced to do otherwise. -- DrSpike, Skanky Burns, Shogun Gunner
