I have always found underscores distracting, in any case.

Because I'm and old fart who has been playing this game for too long, I'll throw out "Fanatica" as a suggestion since, well, we've used it a lot already. :p

Unless we can find another planet to trash in the next fifty years or so, I would say yes. edit: I'm looking at you, Mars.

I've just switched to a background that expresses one of those important, universal truths:

Faction: (waiting for the highest bidder) Chatname: Octavian_X, OctavianX, Octavian (or any other variation on that theme) Residing: Ankh-Morpork Aspiring: rabble-rouser, muckracker, and mugwump

Presumably, we could vote to change the name, since Civ4 makes it very easy to rename your Civilization. Obviously, a monarchial faction may want to rename the country "Kingdom of...", while a democratic one will probably go for a Republic.

What do you honestly expect? Telefragged is supposed to target those ads to a certain audience. We, the users of an forum on the internet about a video game, are most likely young men aged 18-30, and especially for that demographic, sex sells. Just par for the course of your average internet...

I felt that I had to abstain from the poll. Not that I have anything against any sort of "non-traditional" system, of course - it's just a badly timed poll that will undoubtedly have a ridiculously low turnout, thus preventing any potential newcomers to the game from coming in and proposing...

You asked for it. :p

Well, yes, it was very fluid and allowed for an evolutionary process. By the same token, that fluidity made it difficult to precisely track down what exactly the rules where. This in turn makes it difficult for casual players to know which rules were in effect, introducing an element of...

I do agree that a certain player-based initiative is missing from the game - the DG2 RPG, for instance, lost a lot of momentum when Shaitan decided to bow out, as he'd been the prime mover and shaker behind its processes. Ever since, bursts of activity in the DG have really correlated to the...

It's all politics.

I could spare the time to sit back and watch a revitalized DG, I think. :)

It was politics, more than anything else, that drew me into the first Civ3 DG all those years ago (and as a side note, I was 14 years old when I got my first governorship. I'm 20 now .:crazyeye: ) That said, I'd really like to see a system that is more political in nature - even if that does...

Welcome back Bacon King! Long time no see. :D And, I only stumbled into this thread because I was wondering about CG. Best of luck to him.
