[MarkG]

I don't get it. What is this?

This looks great. Thanks Gramphos and Mark! Now to set up a modern Smac tournament...

[RGBVideo]

Isn't this exactly what the ACS is supposed to be about: Playing Civ? It's an excellent (though not really that original ) idea, and I'll probably start participiating in it early next month.

Both thumbs up to the staff for their work

So the hall of fame is mostly for tournament play?

(though I don't think I'll be participating in it)

But why does Civ2 only have ToT and MGE Halls of Fame? Can't you submit games from Civ2 Classic/Conflicts in Civilization/Fantastic Worlds? And why does the MGE version say 2.78 (which is clearly the version number of "Fantastic Worlds")?

And how do you expect to handle the extra games from ToT (i.e. the Extended Original, Sci-Fi and Fantasy games)? They can hardly be compared, not to mention they have different civs, the difficulty levels have different names, and there are even different victory types, I believe.

Why are there version numbers at all? It's not like that would prevent people from submitting games with a different version. Aren't the subsection enough of an indication where people should submit their game?

What happens if someone beats his own highscore? Can he have his HoF entry updated or is he just out of luck?

Will the entries from the old Civ2 HoF be added?

how many people would submit a game?

And why does the MGE version say 2.78 (which is clearly the version number of "Fantastic Worlds")?

cause my memory isn't perfect

if there is demand we'll respond to it accordingly

Why are there version numbers at all?

mainly for the tournaments which according to the time of their creation require different versions

Can he have his HoF entry updated or is he just out of luck?

for hofs' you can update your entry

for tournaments your first attempt counts

Will the entries from the old Civ2 HoF be added?

if the players add them themselves

No idea, but I don't think Classic and Fantastic Worlds are much less prevalent than MGE (and certainly more so than ToT). But if that's one of your criteria, you could probably question keeping Civ2 altogether.
But I guess having 5 different categories would be a bit of overkill for a game as old as civ2, so nevermind. And I suppose they could be added later if need be.

OK.

I see.

Ah, OK.

Thanks for answering my questions.

[sabrewolf]

great

now, if one plays a HOF entry game and wants to document it, where to put that thread if no classification is applicable (eg. not AU or not strategy).

will there be a special "HOF games" forum?

[MarkG]

the general forum of the specific game

I got that part. It's the HALLF that I'm curious about.

[MarkG]

[joncha]

I see that my work here is done. I'll put my wiseassery to good use elsewhere.
