1) The results of that poll are disputed.
2) The game isn't going ot start for at least two weeks so there is plenty of time to discuss and repoll the question.
3) I am not going to post what I really want to say about you and your attitide dutchfire. I would be more than happy to convey my thoughts to you in a private message if you're interested.

Well, if the question is re-polled, I would urge folks to consider how it would limit non-Windoze players.

if we repoll everything because theres no majority wont that just take away from the quality of the game? or is this just a desperate cry from someone who didnt get his/her way? hahaha

Ramming plurality choices through will take away from the quality of the game. Rest assured, I will not be repolling everything because there's no majority decision, just those that are important to me. It is also important to establish when majority decisons have been made so we will know (objectively) when an elected official is authorized to make his or her own decision.
Can this be clarified, as I'm unsure what you are saying. The HoF mod can be used in both Windows and Mac format, as to any others I have no knowledge of. What I'm confused about is how exactly does the HoF mod differentiate between whether you are using Windows or not? If you use a Mac computer than you can't look at the save anyway, so how does the HoF mod have anything to do with this? Note: I believe a Mac user can't view a Windows save and vice versa, but please clarify me if I'm wrong.
I don't see how the HoF mod adjusts the save so that you can't view it in whatever format you use.
Can you please explain more 730195.
I think that is how the confusion started. There is a version of the HOF-Mod for Mac which was compiled for the GOTMs - so HOF-Mod is not Windoofs only...

how are we to discern what is an important decision and what isnt? and if a poll is considered important and affects the game directly, is it right to declare majority only? what if a majority of that poll doesnt happen for a day. a week. 2 weeks. how long are we all willing to wait to continue on? i agree that some polls and ideas should have a majority vote.. but it should be rare and well placed. when i look at polls i see side A and side B. A is the clear winner of the vote. By 1 vote, by 20. I dont think it matters. Side A beat side B. That means that more people wanted a decision to be made a certain way. I dont believe percentages should matter.. but oh well.. im just rambling now
I am interested.

I don't get the problem with HoF mod poll, why isn't there a majority in the poll? Unless the laws of mathematics have changed recently the poll indicates a favour for not using the HoF mod. (yes: 16 votes [37.21%]; no: 20[46.51%]; abstain 7 votes [16.28%]). The abstain votes don't belong to either group so no prevails with 4 more votes. It's not a big majority (I can agree with that) but it is a majority.

If HoF mod is available for Macs, does anyone have a link? I looked at the HoF site and the only download I could see was .exe.
I agree - even though I think the game is more fun with the HOF-Mod (with all the information at a glance instead of having to search for it) - I think that it has been decided...
I have been looking for it and AlanH did his best to conceal it for non-GOTM participants
but here you are for Vanilla and Warlords - regardless of DG I can highly recommend to try this mod

ori,
Thanks for the link! I downloaded and installed it with zero problems. Started a game and it seems to work and looks like some nice features, so I think I'll be happy whichever way this finally ends up.

Well, if there is a Windoze HoF save somewhere, I'll download it and see it my Mac can run it.

This is a game using the latest version of the HoF mod, the one we would be using if it would get/have gotten a majority.

Well, the first problem is the Mac mod is version 009 and the file is version 010. I renamed things to match and got a bit further. Now a message pops up: "The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have not been changed". When you hit OK, Civ quits. If anyone knows the authours of these things, maybe a compatible version is in the works. I'll poke around and see what I find.
