Naismith does make a lot of long and useful posts.
Yes Andz, I wanted to be nominated
; however I just wanted to see who was in, the other posters eyes the best posters; personally I like UltraSonix and Shadowstrike best for their contributions.And Andz, anyway, if the poster spams then they don't deserve to be on this list. |

Ehi, you are confusing me!  About the whole proposal, I remember there is already an "Apolytoner of the year" nomination with the same purpose, isn't there? Yes Shiva and DarkCloud, I try to think alot about my posts, and they end to be so long, because my english is so bad I usually wonder if I'm explaining well enough or my posts looks silly and useless ------------------

I'll add rremus and Ralf, Tiberius Tiberius- Not the worst poster; but who is the funniest poster (I'd say Par4) quote:

And Raingoon, The Diplomat, Harel, Matthew, M@ni@c and Korn.

Okay, I understand S. Kroeze, Raingoon, and Korn; but Maniac, Matthew and Harel? I haven't seen many posts from them in either civ forum? |

You haven't been here long enough, DC.Ok, if this is only within the past few months then the 3 you mentioned shouldn't be nominated. But in a longer timeframe, say, the past year, then M@ni@ac has posted an endless amount of fantastic ideas, including the best SE model ever created and several attempts to improve the social and economic system for Civ3. Matthew was the person who, together with S. Kroeze (and myself) invented the rise and fall of civs idea that everybody has been talking about since. Check an old thread here at the Civ3 General forum by MarkG, something like "Poll: How many civs in a game" - it is about a year old, and a thread at the Civ3 List of ideas forum called "SE Models Thread V3.0". Harel has made a huge diplomacy summary, that includes more features than anyone could ever want. For that alone he should be nominated, but he has also made lots of other brilliant posts. ------------------

If this is a vote for all times best posters, then you have right, but you also forgot Theben, and maybe others. The problem is they didn't post lately too much. Too bad  (for Apolyton, for Civ3 and for all of us). Maybe some feedback from Firaxis or some news about Civ3 could bring them back.
Let's hope so. |

As usual I agree with the Joker. The people he mentioned all have made excellent contributions. The Diplomat should be remembered for his recruitment system alone. I would like to add Youngsun to this Roll of Honour. In this thread he elaborated this "unit workshop" idea in detail. There is also a truly beautiful thread about Corporations,which unfortunately I cannot find. I am very sorry he seems to have departed.With the Joker himself I have had the most inspiring discussions about Civ games. Neither should Theben be forgotten! And I want to thank Urban Ranger for always disagreeing with me. He forced me to do a lot of reading about Chinese history!

TO go way back I'd have to nominate:1. Diodorus Sicilius- Our one-time resident historian and creator of the 'Nomads' idea. He influenced a lot of the other "old-timers", including Maniac during the time he worked on his Social Engineering ideas. 2. don Don- In the beginning it was only him & myself for the most part, keeping the civ3 ideas going...he also put together the original supply & movement ideas for civ3. 3. Why, Yin26 of course! More recent ones would include Harel, technophile, Korn, Raingoon, and S. Kroeze. I'm sorry if there's been someone recently who deserves more credit but I don't have as much free time to post here now. It's the job, man, the job...

Hey everyone!Wow, I'm honored you all still remember me... I know I been away for a very, very long time... I had the honor to work with the Master of Orion III team. The MOO series is my other love, and that consumed my last few months...
I jumped back to the forums here and saw that very little has been released from Firaxis. I'm saddend that no real offical feed-back arrived at our work... Hey, if they do bother to give us some response, I might just toss open my diplomacy summary and update it again I can't help it but to think we did dicuss everything possible for Civ3 half a year ago... and now the new wave of fans simply re-discuss all the old topics. Regardless, I doubt a true, intelligent discussion can occur without Firaxis telling us some real portion of the game mechanics, some point we can progress from there... Oh, well, I'm still here... and I'll try to post a little more... |

DarkCloud, who cares who is the best? I'm thinking we are more a team, not a single player, aren't we?We are here to use our brain and have fun helping to make (and hopefully playing) a better game.

Unlike Mr Bush I will not unilaterally "take office".This forum is really good not for the genius of a few, but rather, for the tremendous ideas that only a collective group of people can come up with. And remember, we are the second coming. There was a first - those guys shouldn't be forgotten for all the time and effort they poured forth into the List... ------------------
