GOTM 2 results????

Cool!

Is it possible to set up an automatic emailer for notification of posted GOTM results?
 
Damn, I totally sucked at GotM2. Can't wait the results :p. One day (which may be soon, I think, not probably) I'll beat the AI at prince.
 
I guess it would be possible. Rather than set up a whole mail list system, I'd prefer to work on the basis that you opt in to receive a notification for each game when you submit.

But what's wrong with subscribing to the RRS feed from the GOTM news page? That will tell you whenever there's a news item. We don't publish a lot of other stuff there, but we *should* post there whenever there's a new game or a results release.
 
Yeah sorry guys, I'm always full of ideas but am usually limited in actually helping to make them happen. I know your quite busy already.

I agree that opt-in would be the way to go. But the RRS feed would be even better. I didn't think of that and will hook it up ASAP. Thanks for the suggestion!

Probably on the weekend.

Since the weekend's over and no results posted yet, is there a new ETA?
 
I was starting to guess that. You usually need 1 week to compile the results of a GOTM. Now, with 3 GOTMs per month (one civ3, one c3c, one civ4), that means 3 weeks per months to compile results giving you about one week to prepare those 3 GOTMs. You guys must be overloaded with work!! :eek:

Anyway, keep the good work and take your time. :goodjob:

... maybe you should start recruiting new staff members to split the job!
 
Yes. Please begin recruitment.
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I am very eager to see where I placed this time around.;)

If you are looking for help, I'm available. 3 Degrees must be good for something...:cry:

In my experience, the more helpers, the longer it takes. Recruit too many helpers, and you'll be waiting 3 months for results!

Its not a resourcing issue - they will be published within 24 hours.

Please bear with me - I promise that I will be better organised next month - I've just had a rather busy time of late.

I completely understand. Hey. We're lucky that you guys run this for us at all.
Thanks for doing your best.:goodjob:

I couldn't agree more. This site, these forums, and most importantaly the Civ IV GoTM's have made CivIV one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've been a part of in a long, long time.

Thank you,

Steve

Add me to the list of people saying "Take all the time you need, and thanks much for running this game every month."

Also, I don't play Civ3 any more, so feel free to stop running the Civ3 GOTM and COTM. ;)
