Apolyton University - Team PBEM invitation

Theseus · Mar 25, 2005, 06:57 PM

Hello all... you are invited:
_____________________________

We at Apolyton kindly greet you.

Over time, we have built a school for Civilization. Apolyton University is a school of strategy, where students sharpen their Civ3 skills and share their experiences in a series of thematic games. When playing an Apolyton University game, gaining and sharing knowledge is more important than getting a high score, a fast finish, or even winning the game. Participants are encouraged to share their strategy after the game, and even to try several attempts.

As time has passed, we have seen a natural decline in single player activity, but also an ongoing core of stalwarts in regards to multi-player, especially in the PBEM format. Accordingly, we have chosen that our latest course, perhaps the last for Civ3, be such.

This course will be 'AU 602 - Team Play'. We think that this will be valuable, in that Civ4 will likely be more so oriented around MP. We would like to see the broadest possible participation in this course, including inter-site activity.

All past rivalries, face-offs, grudges, etc., should be forgiven (we hope)... let's have some fun with it. FYI, we are inviting participants from 10+ sites other than Apolyton, as well as Firaxis (although they are probably a tad busy with Civ4).

Come... to quote, "Let's PLAY!"

Theseus-- a group of us are already in a 3x3 vs. Civ Russia. Check my sig. I could consider another possibly.

Don't we already have several games between different websites?

punkbass2000 · Mar 26, 2005, 06:43 AM

This isn't really a website vs. website game.

Theseus · Mar 26, 2005, 10:57 AM

Yeah, this is more about fun... we just thought we'd invite the entire Civ community. Who is Team Russia, btw?

Whomp · Mar 26, 2005, 10:59 AM

hell, mahler and thug. Do you know them?

Theseus · Mar 27, 2005, 12:35 PM

Nope... are they from some other website?

Whomp · Mar 27, 2005, 12:37 PM
