I work for an English computer magazine due to launch in September, to be
dedicated entirely to strategy gaming. As well as the more obvious news and
reviews sections, we are really trying to capture the "community" feel that
has sprung up around games such as Civilization II, and whilst researching
this I found your site.

Basically we are trying to put together a panel of experts for several of
the top games, and run regular features on those games - Civilization, Age
of Empires, Command and Conquer and games of a similar calibre. We would
really like you to join our panel. There would not be a great
deal of work involved - only around 3-400 words per month.
What we would be looking for would be a round-up of the Civilization II
community
on the internet - new scenarios, units, competitions and such like. There
may also be a section where readers with problems on a game write in to be
answered by experts such as yourself, and/ or a hypothetical section where a
number of experts are asked how they would deal with a certain situation -
hopefully this would show readers that there is more than one way to get out
of any problem.

In return for your help you would not only get your names and faces in the
magazine (guaranteeing minor celebrity status and the chance to act like a
real know-it-all git whenver Civ II comes up in conversation!) but we would
mention your website in the editorial content and, if you would like us to,
we can place a link on our cover CD to take readers to your page.

If you are interested, or you know of anyone who might be, please contact me
as soon as possible to discuss this matter further. Thanks for your time,
and best wishes for the future,
