PBEMs vs Vacations

[Chris 62]

Sun Tzu says it all the time, but not to me, cause he knows I have friends here.

Believe it or not, I can't do that with my system, it never works(for screen shots).

As for ratings, you'll get what ye deserve, me lad!

But as I recall, the breakdown for the 2 I finished reviewing (Celts, Al Andulas) put them at near perfect scores, and no, not perfect, cause I don't want you getting a swelled head!

And it would be nice if you posted a line or two, in our forums there. Even Mark and Dan have, and I have no intention of leaving Poly in the slightest, so dual citizenship shouldn't be a problem.

Here, I'm one of many diverse posters, but CFC needs all the quality people it can get, in it's scenario areas and it's general areas also.

Plus, it doesn't hurt to give your work more exposure.

So post something there already!!!

OK Waku, I down loaded that, and I'll try it later.

Of course, if it ruins my system, I will come looking for you!

Evan Von Christoph, another 'friend' of the Spanish gang. I got in a few flame wars with him in the past but stopped when realized he was pretty sick (he still is).

OK, I'll send you some then.

(you always spell Andalus wrong )

Yeah, that's what I noticed. The scenario area needs a bit of 'pedigree'. Most of the posters seem to be relatively new to the business and appear not to be familiar with a lot of good scenarios and scenario tricks. I'd say they seem to constitute the new wave of enthusiastic scenario designers that I talked about in my Apolyton column a few months ago. But they need to look back. Maybe some of us old Apolyton farts could help in that area, you're absolutely right. Now, if they let me use a personalized avatar....

Plus, it doesn't hurt to give your work more exposure.

More??? Haven't I received enough attention already? People still nominate me for awards!
Seriously, I feel that I've been paid for my Civ2 work much more than I ever expected.

Yes, EVC/Cecil (his current handle) is quite bazar.

OK, I'll send you some then.

Thanks much.

Why couldn't you have just called the damn thing the Recoquista?!!?
That I could spell!!!

I'm not without influence, and custom avatars might be in the mix...but seroiusly, all the young guys who used to come to the SL are starting to wash up on CFC's shores, and they would greatly benifit from some of the pathfinders. We get a handful of the more experienced (like Kindal, for one), but they could really use some help in this area. And don't forget, civ-3 is just around the corner, and the kids could be the ones that become "The next Generation", as oppossed to your "the original series" guys like you.
I also am considering a little idea called "designer interviews", in which i would ask a series of questions of the more renown designers about (Such as a fellow with the initials of JB, do you know him? ) civ, and why and how they did what they do. Not a lot, just a few paragraphs.

Yes, more.
Everytime someone sees, and plays one of yours for the first time, the game and the hobby become that much stronger.
You can fade into obscurity later, but for now, sieze the moment.


BTW, did you ever get that PM I sent?

Dunno. The last one I received from you was regarding the rape thread. If you sent another after that one. I did not receive it.
