These are all the people who made the last List, but were not elected.
(204 posters in the election)
Thank you one and thank you all for voting!
Here we have The Final results! It's over
-
A few last-minute votes for Kramsib and DarkCloud in the Spanish and Off-Topic firmly secured their places as 3rd (elected) and 4th (not quite elected), respectively- and Ted Striker settled into 5th despite the 80 or so votes given his way.
It was a hard-fought contest- with Googlie coming out on top above Samson, but Googlie's 85 votes this term- the most ever received by a poster, set him apart in first place.
Over 204 posters received votes IN the election from: OVER 246 VOTERS! (That number shatters the old record number of voters) It was an amazing election with AMAZING turnout!
Below are the new inductees!
(and a statement by Kramsib)
--- The New Inductees
SAMSON
Quality Great Library Contribuitor for Civ II and well-known civ II strategy researcher.
KRAMSIB
His greatest works have been carried out in the Spanish Comunity. He is the "Father and Protector" of Progressive Games, an amazing tournament for civers to play without multiplayer mode.
Here is an example of a Progressive Game: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...readid=120672. He also created a Graphics Mod and a Combat mod for Civ III and is working on developing game-model theories based on Civ III's Corruption and Value theories.
GOOGLIE
A well-known co-author of the epic Spartan Chronicles for AC, AC-fiction in general, and expert AC Diplomacy gamer, Googlie helped set up the 12-game Forum Wars series of a couple of years ago between Apolyton, ACOL and Civgaming as well as a couple of dozen individual game challenges.
His love affair with SMAC goes back to old OWO forums and the demo release days when a bunch of us hacked the HEX editor to squeeze more than the 100 turns from that old demo version.
---A note from Kramsib:
My greatest works have been carried out in the Spanish Comunity. I am the "Father and Protector" of Progressive Games, an amazing tournament for civers to play without multiplayer mode.
I have run some Progressive Games for Civ II but the lack of players forced me to close them, even when some of my collaborators and I made a great effort to translate it into English.
Secondly, I have performed some minor works for Civ III:
The KGM (Kramsib Graphic Mod): A compilation of the best graphics for Civ III (IMHO).
Unfortunately, I am not so well known as I am in the Spanish Forum due to the fact that most of my work has been performed in Spanish. But as soon as I get more spare time after finishing my studies I will put to an end this situation, and I am planning to internationalise the Progressive Games.
I hope this is enough for your requests.
This is a great honor for me and I want to acknowledge all the people which have supported me to become a member of the HoF. And all of those who have helped me with the Progressive Games. Thanks to all my collaborators and to the whole SCS.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Kramsib.

Also active on WePlayCiv.
If you are unfamiliar with his contributions you can mention his tireless research with Solo on early landing strategy in particular. He is responsible for some of the best dates recorded, and disentangled some of the intricate trade formulae that are essential knowledge for getting an early landing.
Other contributions include research on the tech model, and some impressive application of some devious exploits.

Well, I understand that, but I think (If I remember correctly) that I mostly list general contributions rather than specific threads.
Personally, I did a search on samson and came up with about 8 threads, so I undestand what you're saying, but I couldn't determine which were the most useful.

In the final version, to be included in his 'immortal' log, I'll add some of those things in.
How about this for a final version:
SAMSON: Quality Great Library Contribuitor for Civ II and well-known civ II strategy researcher. Some of his specific accomplishments were collaborating with Solo on the Early Landing Strategy Guide and disentangling some of the intricate trade formulae in Civ II.

This is what, the 5th time in a row DarkCloud's been in the top 5 but fallen just short?
true. The last two times I was in first place before the voting started as well. This time though it's partially my fault. Because I wanted to limit the number of people in the hall (to keep it meaningful) I cut the # of people to be elected this month from 4 to 3... thereby dooming myself as I now see. oh well, there's always next time. I'm pretty certain that I'll get in if I can gather at least 35 votes in the election!
And thank you for the kind comment, Nikolai.
-- Rasputin... well it worked for mao. (He IMed people to solicit votes back in the first election ) But remember... soliciting votes can get you disqualified according to the letter of the law. (Though I think I've only actually called one person on that...)

On both accounts!

DrSpike- here's an updated version of samson's bio, courtesy of solo's comments, and the old one merged:
Samson Quality Great Library Contribuitor for Civ II and well-known civ II strategy researcher.
Samson quickly became the premier researcher in the Civ II community and authored numerous definitive studies on almost every aspect of the game. In particular, the depth of insight he displayed by his “key civ” discovery and his unravelling of how commodity lists are determined was, to put it simply, just amazing. Having set numerous records in a wide range of single player games, he was considered by most to be the best player, too. -Writeup partially in thanks to solo.

Glad everyone enjoyed the Hall!
