[Lyncis] That's all?
[Lyncis] A newbie?!
[Atahualpa] so, anybody turns on the party music?
[DanQ] The thread was deleted at the request of the originator.
[Floyd] i know...:)
[Stefu] That's not what EVC will think...
[Floyd] Sure, I just turned it on...
[MarkG] Did someone actually read the entire "one year" feature? :)
[Floyd] what do you want?
[Lyncis] I am, well, Lyncis
[Lyncis] So, where's everybody?
[Atahualpa] I think so
[Floyd] here
[Stefu] Everybody who joins in after me is a newbie...
[Lyncis] gottcha
[Floyd] but everyone who joined in before me has no life :)
[DanQ] After the chat is over, all chat releated threads in OT will be deleted... that OK with everyone?
[Atahualpa] I was here first!
[Floyd] sure
[Huey] ok by me
[Stefu] sure... does this affect post count?
[Floyd] get rid of the clutter
[Atahualpa] <------- no problem with that
[Floyd] stefu you're shameless
[Huey] but dont tell EVC
[Huey] hehehehe
[DanQ] no, it doesn't affect post count
[Stefu] BTW, Mark is there any possibility of adding 1000 posts to my post count? I think it would rise my status up.
[Floyd] So, Markos, Dan, what's the next big addition to Apolyton?
[Atahualpa] to what? maniac?
[MarkG] hehe, not sure Stefu :)
[Huey] you one of the guys keeping track stefu?
[MarkG] Floyd, I'm not sure about an addition....
[DanQ] You mean the next big thing that we can talk about publicly for the moment?
[DanQ] Ummmmm... :))
[Stefu] Hey, does this mean I can post 1000 chat threads in forums? They get deleted anyway...
[Floyd] no
[MarkG] but we ARE planing to make EVC the moderator in all forums :)
[Huey] thatll give them a fit :-))
[Atahualpa] Stefu there is always the danger of having a vacation, you know
[Floyd] *Homer scream*
[Floyd] DOH
[DanQ] LOL Floyd!
[Stefu] Sure, boys. I'm lisn'ning. *Takes out his notebook*
[Huey] yeah, EVC
[Stefu] What's wrong with EVC? Buffalobill, now that'd be horror...
[Atahualpa] Mark is EVC! ARRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
[Huey] finally ata, took you some time :-)))
[Atahualpa] lol
[Stefu] Come on... His name is MArkos Giannopoulis, that is best proof he is not Evan von Christopher.
[Floyd] wait a second...if i'd thought to log in as MarkG I could have had moderator power...
[MarkG] no, Im' not! check our IP's(you dont, but...)
[MarkG] Markos Giannopoulos actually...

[Floyd] unpronouncable you mean
[Atahualpa] sorry
[Floyd] :)
[Stefu] Yep. The word ipronucealbe is surely inprunoncelbe.
[Huey] give us the possibility then, mark :-))
[MarkG] the possibility?
[DanQ] This is how is it pronounced (correct me if I'm wrong, Mark): G-an-op-o-lus
[Huey] otherwise the doubt will stay
[Huey] to check ip's
[Stefu] Try to say inpronouncalbe 10 times.
[MarkG] no, it's Gia-no-pu-los
[Atahualpa] inpronouncalbe

[DanQ] BOTF = Birth Of The Federation
[Stefu] Local computer magazine gave it 63 points out of 100. That's bad.
[Huey] on a civ site?
[Atahualpa] bah star trek games
[Stefu] They claimed it had bad diplomacy.

[Akula] I've seen it get over 90
[Floyd] Star Trek rocks ata
[Stefu] And that it was MOO clone.
[MarkG] any relationship with civ?
[Floyd] That's why I'm cool and you're not :) hehe
[Stefu] Star Trek sucks.
[Atahualpa] Yeah, the movie, but not the games
[Stefu] Babylon5 rules.
[Floyd] Same type of game Mark...
[Stefu] Watch Babylon5, boys.
[Floyd] Expand, Exploit, Conquer, Research
[Atahualpa] Babylon5=shit IMO
[Floyd] But not a Sid Meier game of course
[Stefu] How dareth you say that!
[Atahualpa] what about BZone2?
[Stefu] Star trek=sith!
[Atahualpa] or C&C3?
[Floyd] Babylon 5 is wussified Star Trek
[Huey] maybe a civlike game related page?
[Atahualpa] or Diablo 2
[Floyd] you mean C&C 2
[DanQ] We already have that, Huey... it's our "Alternative Civ" section
[Stefu] Star Trek? Oooh! we are people living in giant utopia where nothing is bad expect Klingons!
[DanQ] There's always room for expansion. I'm trying to finish our upcoming Freeciv coverage
[Stefu] And I can speak Klingon!
[Floyd] The Borg, Cardassians, Dominion
[Stefu] I also got Vulcan ears!
[Atahualpa] stop it
[Floyd] Freeciv?
[Floyd] I've heard of that, but don't remember what it is...

[Huey] make some z
[Floyd] Z, there is one pretty good Star Trek mod
[Stefu] I currently play Baldur's Gate

[Floyd] It comes with a DS9 scenario and you can play real games
[Stefu] Stop speaking about Star Trek!
[Huey] try the challenges floyd, got me back to civ2
[Atahualpa] Baldurs gate is not so good
[Atahualpa] IMO
[DanQ] Freeciv coverage in our AC section is coming, but between full-time summer jobs and otheR Civ news, it's not ready for release just yet.
[Atahualpa] Jagged Alliance 2 is great

[Floyd] I can't stand CTP to be quite honest
[Huey] not me :-)
[Floyd] I don't remember, I think just Star Trek
[Floyd] I don't even remember where I got it from, but it wasn't Apolyton
[Floyd] I think the page is on Apolyton Civ2 links
[Atahualpa] CTP is one game that I dont like because of its flaws but is so addicting that I cant stop playing it
