Hi again!
Well, you guys probably won't remember me at all... I'll just get straight to the point.
I was a (modestly) active member of the alpha centauri forums here at apolyton about two years ago, but a combination of circumstances (loads of work at college, being without a computer for a long time and got used to reading long books, and others...) kinda forced me to to disappear from apolyton for a long time. I got out of the rythm of spending a lot of time on online forums but lately I've got a little more spare time and I rediscovered the old but classic game SMAC(X). After all that time, I still enjoy it greatly so I decided to come and have a look at apolyton again...
Apparantly my old account still exists, that's great
And looking over my PMs, the last one dates back from december '03... wow, that really *is* a long time.
Next thing I noticed was that there's a new ACDG. I was a member of the cycon in the 2nd one and I really liked all the tactics, the big plans and the diplomacy... the role-playing obviously was cool too, but I always enjoyed the strategy part a little more
Thinking about it, maybe I'd like to join in sometime, is the democracy game still open to total newcomers? do you guys spend a lot of time in it (i.e. is it still active)?
Talking about activity, do you people who hang around here still play a lot of SMAC? or is it all primarily Civ3 now? Well, I also installed Civ3 again some time ago, but didn't find it as much fun as AC. I can't give very good reasons, it's more of a feeling. Civ3's graphics seem kind of confusing to me (too much detail and not enough oversight) and the game interface is so annoying... moving your units around takes way too much time
Anyway, the feeling to 'be back around' is great. Thanks for reading through my ramblings (if you didn't skip right to the bottom, that is) and all replies are welcome!
