  • The Petition Thread

    I believe that the "Civilization Games General/Future" forum should be renamed to something like "Civilization Game Development: Ideas and Discussion", and to be seen at the immediate top of the forum (ie, in front of BHG's right now).

    this would make the forum more noticable to people in general, more specifically the newer people, who dare not venture below the Civ3 Forum groups.

    The flow of ideas is rampant, from many sources, in many different areas. This forum was created to provide a place for all these ideas to be brought forth and examined, discussed, and decided upon. In short, this form would be a real time wish list for the major gaming companies to look at when proposing their next games, or for the indepedent developer to come to and discuss his game.

    This forum also deserves it's own Moderator, or at least, to be assigned an official one so that lists of major topics can be topped, etc.

    Simply put, this forum can change the future of Civ-like games, if the people can find it easily.

    So, I have created this petition. Please post in here if you believe that the actions above should be taken by the owners of Apolyton. If you have any input, go ahead and give it. if you don't but like the idea, just post with your name as the message. If you don't like the idea, please do not post in this thread.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposition.

    moving it to the top of the forum list is certianly a good idea, I hate having to venture into the civ3 forum to find a discussion about civ4. I don't really see the need for a designated mod though, ming has almighty power over every forum, or you could contact Mark or Dan too.

          Sure, why not

            I'd certainly like to see this forum "up top" too. I'm unconvinced that a name change is really needed. I also don't see any serious need for a moderator at this point.

                      agreed... as long as it doesn't turn into a "Civ4: Ideas" forum.

                      IMO it should be more General, less Future Speculation. Discussion of concepts, debates of differing approaches to combat, tile improvements and stuff. Civ4 is ages away, Galciv RoN and Moo3 are current and CtP3 ain't happening - there is no visible future, so reflection on concepts is more worthwhile, to see what ideas we can come up with for improvement in general, whether it fits into a current civ game, will fit into a future one, or neither.

                      The Post-Apocalyptic Civlike Funbash thread is a good example IMO. Its Civlike in that it uses the same concept, but also utterly different.

                        Yes yes, move it up.
                        And i agree with what the Wombat said.
                        <Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

                          if this forum is for future Civ games, I agree it probably should be higher up in the list of forums. Although moving it closer to the Civ3 forum will certainly add a few Civ4 threads from disgruntled Civ3 players.

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
