What is "The Apolyton House for the Sims"? Is it related to the house we built for Karen Mills & family?

Well, the error is obviously my own- but I think I asked Mark Everson about it- I must have misunderstood something... I know it seemed strange when I wrote it.I was somewhat involved in GGS as well, and as far as I recall FreeCiv and Guns, Germs & Steel were always seperate projects. This seems supported, as UR points out, by the fact that FreeCiv still exists and GGS has been dead for quite a long time already
Hmm... apologies for the problem, but only 2 problems in 50 questions isn't that bad, really...-->Visit CGN!

Lancer-
It was a pretty popular item in the OT in December/Nov 2000
Rand Al'Tor ran it.
The Sims is a game
Provost Harrison was the dismal med student
The Brain was always trying to kill someone (can't remember who)
and he had Dookie doing something along with a few other drawn out dramas in the same neighborhood, If I remember correctly

Last I heard of it is that Apolyton came up with a couple of million dollars and that Lancer is now living in the Bahamas (when he is not at his penthouse in NYC).Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Naw, I was more thinking on how you could build a whole house on money donated from Apolyton. $75.87 doesn't go all that far.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Theben, if you come to the Phils w/ us in Sept you can meet Karen, and kick the little house we built her and her family, too see if it's real.
Zkribbler, (who gave hundreds, a true inspiration) and Ben Kenobi are going w/ us so they'll get a chance to check it out too.
It still amazes me that we built the thing. Think of all the BS that has gone through the OT...but for once we contributed to something real, to changing someone's life. Still brings me a smile and fond memories.
There was alot of attention seekers trying to shoot it down, and these used to bother me, but no more. All that BS has gone by just like all the rest, but that house remains to provide refuge to people who never had a place.
All the rest is meaningless.
