Finally! Opening up youtube defaults to my original username and not my real name!

pretty sure that's because EA are nazi-fascist-capitalist-commie-***-junkie-*******-anti-anti-antichrists.

EA owns some of the rights to AC - I believe they trademarked the name last year...

The acronym for this game is going to be SMCBE. Just doesn't have the same ring to it as SMAC. Also kind of looks like SMBC came out with a game but screwed up the acronym. What's that, you say? It'll just be BE? Poppycock. Maybe CBE or CivBE. Yeah, I'm thinking CivBE. Civby. I'm done talking now.

If you're not competing against other human factions

It seems to be only human factions.

You can't play as an alien race.

Sadly. Maybe that'll come in an expansion pack later, like it did with Alpha Centauri's Alien Crossfire. For now, aliens in Beyond Earth will be more like barbarians in a Civ game—you can ignore them or pick fights to clear them out of your way.

I approve of CivBE (civ-bee)

Uber-lazy. TLDR. Summary?

Yeah, liking the sound of the tech web and the post-human "affinities."

It's the kind of problem you WANT to have, yes, but I sincerely dread the thought of too many newbs at once. We've formed a forum culture that's exactly the way we want it - except I've never drummed up as much activity in the Rec Commons as I'd like. I just desperately don't want to spend a lot of time banning rude kids, and no way that wouldn't happen unless we failed very badly at capitalizing on this...

The lesson of Poly... grow or die, not going to stay the same.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I do not disagree at all.

Still, a big dangerous opportunity like this, I'd be stupid not to worry.

I do not think this will save the poly OT.

The on topic appears to be mostly spam.
