Considering doing a Military leaders throughout history survivor.  I'm not aware of a previous one but, I may be mistaken.  I have a number of people in mind for the list, I would just have to create a grouping system if it's a go.

No problem (see another stickied topic for past survivors: I've done modern French marshals, Napoleon's marshals, Stalin's marshals; Kalwejt has made Polish marshals; but that's all).

It's a good idea (and I'll vote in it, of course ! )

[big bad fab]

Well, that's original, but I'm not sure how to vote for a good half of them...
I guess it's the same for the Roman Emperors as well

[big bad fab]

Not done.
Personally, I'd be in.

[big bad fab]

Why not first selecting 1 to 3 by subdivision (depending on the size of subdivisions) and then make them fight inside main regions.
And then one by main region makes it to the top 4.

Just an idea.

[big bad fab]

When you want: it's not an off-topic survivor.

[big bad fab]

Well, homely is gone. Hans seems to have some problems and hasn't connected in one week.
Cinci sometimes forgets to vote.
You don't vote in my wonderful survivor .

Again, maybe it's due to calendar's problems.
But I must acknowledge I'm beginning to be worried .

Maybe we should start some simpler and more classical survivors: South Amercian countries, US secretaries of State or of Defense, etc., to appeal to other posters.

I'm myself quite busy and I don't want to start a "simpler" survivor for the moment, besides my Women one.

[big bad fab]

I have one:
I want to do a list of colleges I've considered attending at some point or other in the past year. Let me know if I have the approval to do this.

At this stage, you can do what you want and when you want

To be sure you've got some turnout, let's be sure you have a minimal amount of great names.

I must be frank, this board (and the survivors) lasted longer than I ever thought they would last. Seriously, we have been doing this for about 2 years, right?. I thought it would be a lucky board to survive a year and I was wrong.
There were interesting discussions and epic survivors here, but the fact is that there was going to come a moment that we would be saturated. Original survivors are harder and harder to do and this is the internet, home of the short attention spans.

I'm proud of being a regular poster in this subforum, i think Fab is a great moderator and certainly hope that the administrators will keep the survivor subforum intact.
is the place going trough some hard times? Yes. The place will be dead forever? I don't think so.
Again, this place lasted longer and had interesting survivors longer than what I originally thought it would last, so i'm confident that once a few months have passed, posters (especially regulars) will be hungry for new survivors and i know I'll be here for them and if not, I'll keep great memories from all that happened here.

And yes Fab, maybe for now we should do simpler and straightforward survivors like you mentioned, probably we should do more US survivors of any kind to keep the place going.

You're probably right.
After all, this is also fine not to think
"oh wait, I must not forget to connect myself today, as I must vote in x and y an z survivors !
and I have my a and b survivors to update !
Gosh !"


I'd like to keep my Women survivor going, though, even if it's at a slow rhythm: we aren't in a hurry.

But I'll wait for my ideas on Presidents of the French Radical party, on Byzantine Emperors, on Pakistan's heads of state & government, on Romania's heads of state, on Soviet Republics (incl. autonomous ones ), etc.
We'll see.

I've got some ideas to try to keep the sub-board alive: after all, more boards mean a slower forum, so there is a new threat pending around .

In the meantime, as I'm quite busy at work (to say the least), this low activity is a good thing in a way .

[big bad fab]

The problem is that, with many old fans of this game more or less gone or without any motivation (I'm now among them ), this sub-board is more or less dead.
There aren't enough players any longer.

Your ideas are interesting, but, well, even myself, I don't obther any longer.
I'm sorry.

But other forumers may have different views of course.

[big bad fab]

There seems to be a small revival of survivor games.

So, I must update all the lists of finished, available, etc. survivors soon: you bother me, Miss and guys

[big bad fab]

Done.
It's clean now. And, who knows, maybe I'll try to be back in this survivor business in June

[big bad fab]

Do not hesitate !

But please start them again from the beginning ! That's far better (the anti-Comintern, especially, had wrongly begun )

And, as far as Greenland is Danish, I'll keep it in Europe

[big bad fab]

Yep, I'm a big bad colonialist

No, in fact, you are right but I'll modify this one day or the other.

[big bad fab]

You have noticed too, about Kal ?

14 days, I find it a bit harsh, but let me think a bit (many personal problems currently , plus legislative elections to follow in France )

[big bad fab]

Ask Kal if he is OK to "give" you his survivor.
He may agree.

3 weeks seems a good compromise indeed.
I'll change the rules when I have some time.
Sorry, but there elections in France, and I'm busy...
Let's wait until the end of June.

[big bad fab]

OK, you've won.
You're a bit of a queen here , as the sub-board was dead, more or less, and you seem to have resurrected it a bit (even if I'm not optimistic for the longer term ).

Rules have been changed, in an utterly dictatorial way:
- inactive survivors can be taken by anybody after 3 weeks (it means 21 days, eh ?)
- 5 (and not 3) off-topic survivors can be managed at the same time
- 2 (and not 1) off-topic survivors can be managed at the same time by the same forumer
- options are valid for 2 months (and not 3).

[big bad fab]

Haven't you PMed Kal before, politicus ?
That's what you said, I think, and what I advice in my... ahem... so-called "rules"

On the other hand, Kal, given past experience , politicus may have legitimately thought that your survivors were abandoned for good.

[big bad fab]

Can't you read the list of survivors already done ?!?

Well, apart from Obama cabinet (a very fine one by Kal in 2009) and Confederate cabinet (by myself in 2011), nobody has used this fine idea. Even these 2 are more than one year old, so you can do them again if you want.

Remember also that no survivor on US Secretaries of State and US Secretaries of War/Defence has ever come to an end
I've kept them on my personal to-do list, but I've lost my "internal fire" on survivors for the moment...

I'm in in every survivor you'll do on these subjects !

[big bad fab]

I won't have any Internet connection from the 10th to the 24th of August.

Be as good as gold

[big bad fab]

It's funny because I was about to post a new thread with a big "THIS SUBBOARD IS DEAD" banner and a subtitle saying: PM me if you actually do something here, as I'm not here anymore"

Well, I guess we've all lost the magic
TBH, I'm quite satisfied it's dead as I didn't want to moderate any longer and to update all the lists...
