[Solver]

Yeah, DarkCloud, triple my votes for me being a staff member .

[Maquiladora]

I agree Martin.

So if someone registered in 1999 but they dont visit the forum even 1/5 as much as me they get more points to vote with?

Of course

And why count Maquiladora's and my votes just 2 points even if we both registered in the year 2001? I remember we had this issure already last year.

Tazidude
Posthumous Induction
Obituary Courtesy Ming
“Tazidude was a very active member of this site, and one of original Civ II PM players.”
“He fought a long battle with cancer and passed away in January of 2000. While suffering with his illness, he used Civ II MP as an escape and a distraction. Even with death looking him right in the face, he continued to post and play... He was a friend to many... a great competitor... and it was truly sad when he finally had to leave the community because the pain got to be too much.”
d. january 2000

Scouse Gits(2)
Posthumous Induction
Obituary Courtesy La Fayette
Scouse Gits(2), or Ivor Wason was primarily a Civ II MP gamer who succumbed to cancer in 2003. He was much loved and well-regarded in the Civ II community.

“I would like to say a few words about what Ivor brought us, because he was not only a witty writer and a very strong strategist, but also one of those who gave most to the community, much more than the smiling daily 'robust constructive criticism' that all of us will remember:
-Co-author of the most thorough study about starting techs (more than 5000 starts)
-Co-creator of Apolyton's Great Library”
-'Very early lander', especially on big maps (samson and solo had almost specialized into small maps, when Ivor advised solo to have a look at some of his saves on bigger maps, and that was the starting point of solo's strategy guide)
