Title: Faction leaders on facebook!
Post by: Rymdolov on July 20, 2011, 09:28:28 AM

I've created facebook "pages" for all fourteen SMAC/X faction leaders on facebook. So now, when your friends think they are controversial when listing Sarah Palin or Ulrike Meinhof as "people I admire", you can out-provoke them by listing Chairman Shen-Ji Yang! It's a great way to promote the game and be nerdy/cool in general. Go, as they say, nuts!

Let's see which leader gets the most fans! I'll keep count.

I will flesh out the profiles later. If you find any spelling mistakes or so, please tell me, preferably in this thread.

Note that I've chosen to create profiles under the faction leaders' full names + titles (CEO Nwabudike Morgan, rather than Morgan). This will make it easier to search for them and imho it looks better.

This is the latest update:

1. Zakharov
2. Morgan
3. Aki
4. Deirde
5. Lal
6. Miriam, Santiago, Yang
9. Domai
10. Svensgaard, Roze
12. Marr, H'Minee, Cha Dawn

Lal, Aki and Miriam have taken considerable steps forward since last time. Some people finally became fans of Cha Dawn and the aliens. For a while there I thought no-one liked them at all!

I'm a bit surprised so few people like Svensgaard and Roze. Their factions are pretty cool, after all. But I guess that if your imagination is vivid enough to make you think of computer game characters as real people (as mine is) you will find both of them pretty annoying. Svensgaard won't let you do your research alone and Roze always tries to steal your tech...

Deirdre was one of the first fac leaders to get fans, but now her progress has halted. Zakharov is still un-threatened at the top. Those are all my comments for this time. Do you have any comments or questions?

Great job, those profiles look really neat.

I don't use Facebook myself but what you have created seems like a lot of fun for those who do.

Absolutely outstanding!

Have they also got Twitter a/c yet?

Might be able to have gentle infradig sessions with Firaxis, Big Huge Games, Take 2k, Atari etc., regarding support, neglect, energy credits and so forth.

What could go wrong?! 8)

It's been a while since the last update and there's been a lot of new "likings" lately. The current standings are:

:1st: Zakharov  ;zak;
:2nd: Morgan  ;morgan;
:3rd: Yang  ;yang;

4. Lal, Deirdre  ;lal;  ;deidre;
6. Santiago, Aki  ;santi;  ;aki;
8. Miriam  ;miriam;
9. Domai  ;domai;
10. Svensgaard  ;ulrik;
11. H'minee  ;caretake;
12. Roze  ;roze;
13. Marr  ;marr;
14. Cha Dawn  ;cha;

Zakharov and Morgan are way ahead of the rest at the moment, with Zakh being pretty much un-threatened at the top. Both Lal and Deirdre are just just one fan away from charing the bronxe medal with Yang (yes, Yang is the third most popular leader, you sick, sick people  ???). Make sure to like your favourite fac leaders, facebook users!

Yang voted just now, still Morgan and Zak are much avobe the others. Are they that better?

Morgan has about 10 followers more than Yang and Zakharov has about 10 more followers than Morgan. However, Morgan has gotten more than half of his votes during the last few months, so nothing is certain.
