Welcome Sullla - Tournament Organizer

[Griselda]

I put a note up on the main page, but in case you guys don't check there so often , Sullla has volunteered to be a second Organizer for our tournament. He's sponsored the current Adventure, plus he's got a few other ideas up his sleeve. He's also the person to contact if you have a great idea for a scenario.

I also wanted to thank everyone who has contacted me recently with ideas or offers to keep the tournament going. We hope you stick around and enjoy the upcoming offerings.

Sullla currently doesn't allow private messages or emails.

I certainly do allow emails - I guess that they're just not currently enabled through the forum software. I'll go ahead and make a profile change to enable that and private messages (although email is a much preferred method of contact).

Sponsoring an Epic/Adventure

If you are interested in sponsoring one of our games, what you need to do is type up a game proposal for submission. This should include everything that normally gets posted on the game listing for each event; check out this link to Epic One's page, for example. Any rules and scoring should be well thought out, preferrably with an explanation as to why they exist the way they do. Those of you who remember how the Civ3 process worked should know that a well-designed concept has a much better chance of gaining approval than a game idea still in the formulative stage!

You should send two copies of the game proposal out, one to me and one to Griselda. The proposal may be approved "as is", or we may send it back with suggestions for improving various elements. Depending on the current crop of games running, approved games may have to wait for some time before actually seeing the light of day. Don't take this as an affront to your idea; we simply have to make sure that the submitted game fits with the schedule of Normal/Gentle/Extreme games, as well as with a rotation of map sizes/types and leaders.

If your proposal gets the green light, only THEN should you generate a map and save file. It would be a good idea to either play a fair amount of turns as a test game or open up the Worldbuilder/debug mode to ensure that the map generated fits with the overall spirit of the game. We'd prefer to avoid any Civ3 Epic 14 dud starts ™ if possible.

And that's pretty much the way it works. You can feel free to post any additional questions in this thread if desired. I anticipate that the community will be coming up with a lot of our future game ideas, so feel free to use your creativity.

I just want to say a big THANKS to Sullla for stepping up and putting in extra time and effort

You can be certain that more people appreciate it than just the people who post

If you have previously submitted a game proposal to Sirian, do you need to submit it again?

He's sponsored the current Adventure

I didn't even realize there was a current Adventure. Wow, 2 SGs, Soooo's epic and now an official Adventure. When it rains!

[Locopath]

Im a very new member, long time lurker. Just like to show my gratitude to everyone for all the hard work and dedication, and now especially to Sullla. Thanks!

[Sullla]

If you have previously submitted a game proposal to Sirian, do you need to submit it again?

Yes, unfortunately. Sirian hasn't passed anything on to me. I hope that he'll be back sooner or later and re-take the reigns, but for now Gris and I are the people to contact.

Congrats Sulla, hope you can help revitalize RB !

(Does this mean that you'll be reporting less games, though? I still enjoy reading those reports even though I don't play SP very much at all anymore.)

Now that we have another organizer, might there be some of the stalled mods approved? I'm, personally, most interested in seeing Blue Marble and a patch for the whipping bug. I'm honestly just curious; "probably not" is a fine answer, given that I'm sure you both have other responsibilities to attend to and that the events, obviously, come first .
