Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Civ II/III sections
<b>Description:</b>
Rasputin's past history is not well known. However Rasputin is currently spamming the Civ II and III sections with useful and useless ideas.
He also posts heavily in the Off-Topic and Apolyton/Community sections.
To "Pull a Rasputin" is to make 200 posts in one day or 1000 posts in a month even after a 300 PCR.
He is a fairly humorous poster.

<b>99. Cecil</b>

Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Micronations. Spam. Apolytown. Spam. "Funposts". Humor.
<b>Description:</b>
[He belongs in 20th place in posts, I was too lazy to move him after the list was compiled]
My first introduction to EvC was when he was using the login Evan VonChristoph and announced in a thread that he was homosexual.
Well... after that colorful introduction I soon learned that he was one of Apolyton's legends! He had been one of the major spammers of 1999 and had joined <b>Giant_Squid</b> and <b>Jasonian</b> in Apolyton Micronationalism in the <a target="audenitor" href="http://pub6.ezboard.com/bain">Audenitor Independent Nation</a>- which was formerly called Apolyton Independent Nation, but, because MarkG and DanQ raised legal issues, the name was changed.
The AIN disbanded in late 1999 and EvC moved to the FIoJ "Flying Islands of Jasonia", but he soon became bored of Micronationalism and returned to Apolyton where he has since appeared at varying times... Mostly every 3 months (when the name change feature becomes active) he will change his name and post a lot.

Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Spam. "Funposts" Humor. Angry posts. (and I have heard... vulgar posts?)
<b>Description:</b>
He has been sighted at Sidgames.com and used to post a lot in the Alpha Centauri section there.
Later when he moved to Apolyton he spammed and was banned numerous times.
Fast_Eddie changed his name to ghen because
It also allowed him to spam much more often.
He left Apolyton after throwing a tantrum because all 9 DL's of his were discovered and banned and his login was banned for some length.
His only comment about Apolyton that I could solicit at CGN was
(Not quoted Word by Word)
He left Apolyton in September 2000.
His time at CGN was breif. Lasting from November 2000 to Late December 2000 because he felt restrictive by the new rules imposed upon Off-Topic posters.
These new rules were crafted by the OT mods, <b>DarkCloud</b> and <b>Sunday Mourning</b> ("orange" at Apolyton) and <b>Chris Wilkinson</b> CGN's co-founder.

He wrote, for a time, in "The Chiron Chronicle" a series in the AC-Fiction section chronicling the AC factions' lives on Chiron.
He also posts in the "Apolyton" section on occasion.
In September he spoofed Urban Ranger's username and changed his name to Rural Ranger and elicted many laughs for his 'zany joke'
Urban Ranger thanked LightEning for the spoof... considering himself

Contribution to Apolyton: Off-Topic whiner
<b>Description:</b>
An Englishman who feels oppressed and neglected. Few people notice him except for other Englishmen who feel his pain.
He took the name Seneca because:
He usually complains for being oversighted in 'popularity' threads such as "Your favorite Top 10 Posters" and "The Apolyton Hall of Fame", but everyone has a special place in their hearts for loveable Seneca who posts "feel-good" posts and good Off-Topic posts.

Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Humor. Funposts.
<b>Description:</b>
I first met Dracon when he was looking for a good name for his new rock music group... I'm not sure what he settled on, however.
Dracon owns a Civ II site that had some good material and a spam forum that is little used.
The forum even has a "Spam" section for people to purposely spam in. Paul Hanson overused that part of the forum and made over 99 topics with trash in them.
The site and forum are abandoned now.

<b>Description:</b>
Orange was one of the first Off-Topic posters who I identified with and bonded with and created a friendship with. He is also the first Apolytoner whom I contacted with Instant Messenging.
He contributed to the Civ III ideas section, but it was truly in the OT where he left his mark with The Apolyton Yearbook, a guide to all Apolytoners that included their pictures.

He is in the United States Army and is based in Arkansas.
He used to be a major contributor to the Off-Topic until he discovered AC-Fiction and joined the Chiron Chronicle where he has written the story as the Spartans.
He has a great talent for writing and for telling a story.
He is a true gem of Apolyton, he is a versatile poster, having a humorous side, a serious side, a factual side, a joking side, and anything you could ask for in a poster.

A humorous poster who sometimes acts as if he is a trandenscended being.
He owns the Civworld forums which did not succeed against Apolyton and have since rotted with only
phoenixcager and Michael Jesczenka posting there irregullarly.
Fallen Angel Lord was a humorous poster how stopped posting regularly in December 2000.
In January 2001 he 'Transcended' and changed his name to Master Angel Bob and posted everything as if he was an agent of God... Perhaps he was... we may never know?

Had/Has A Website: No
Contribution to Apolyton: Scenarios, Civ II sections
<b>Description:</b>
There are three Scouse Gits.
One, the original, SG1 is the father of SG3 and a good friend of SG2. SG1 is a civil war and ironclad buff. He likes all things related to war and Civilization II.
SG2 is much like SG1, except his relation to SG1 is that of friend.
SG3 is known to Apolyton as SG1's
(SG3- please do not be angered at me, that is a quote from your father in the Apolyton/Community section )
Currently SG3 is trying to petition for an avatar of her own, because she does not appreciate the ironclad that her father and SG2 use for their posts.
I first got to know the Scouse Gits in August 2000, where someone made a reference to there being three of them.
I did not confirm this until the threre SG's posted in a thread made by <b>CornMaster</b> in November 2000.
The Scouse Gitses are British.

Contribution to Apolyton: Alternate Civs section
<b>Description:</b>
A poster who is best known for helping with the Alternate Civ projects.
onepaul and myself did not get along well, but he did teach me an interesting thing; that I should not casually insult people. Through his insults I learned that I never wanted to be callous and not think about other's feelings.
I am not sure if onepaul meant to be insulting, hopefully he did not, however, he was a great teacher of how I should behave on Apolyton, and for that, I thank him.

Contribution to Apolyton: Build the Apolyton culture
<b>Description:</b>
I am Eroberer, and I've been Eroberer on here for almost three years now. I came here and argued with Red Trotskyite until I became a leftist, argued with Berzerker until I became a rightist, and gently settled back into leftism due to, I'm sure, the lack of proper libertarian posts around here now (or maybe 'cus I just don't read those anymore anyway). I long for the early days of Apolyton, in all honesty, although the middle era was great, too, even if I didn't post in it
I'm atheist, 5'10", blondish hair, blue eyes, resigned to philosophical skepticism, 18 years old, just finished advanced high school courses, going off to the Univerisity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill next year...
My real contribution could be having helped build Apolyton culture, while never really participating in it.
Or the enormous debates that gave Starchild something to do while sipping coffee in the morning, even though I blame myself for Porphyrogenitus's departure.

Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Civ II/III sections
<b>Description:</b>
Rasputin's past history is not well known. However Rasputin is currently spamming the Civ II and III sections with useful and useless ideas.
He also posts heavily in the Off-Topic and Apolyton/Community sections.
To "Pull a Rasputin" is to make 200 posts in one day or 1000 posts in a month even after a 300 PCR.
He is a fairly humorous poster.

<b>Description:</b>
[He belongs in 20th place in posts, I was too lazy to move him after the list was compiled]
My first introduction to EvC was when he was using the login Evan VonChristoph and announced in a thread that he was homosexual.
Well... after that colorful introduction I soon learned that he was one of Apolyton's legends! He had been one of the major spammers of 1999 and had joined <b>Giant_Squid</b> and <b>Jasonian</b> in Apolyton Micronationalism in the <a target="audenitor" href="http://pub6.ezboard.com/bain">Audenitor Independent Nation</a>- which was formerly called Apolyton Independent Nation, but, because MarkG and DanQ raised legal issues, the name was changed.
The AIN disbanded in late 1999 and EvC moved to the FIoJ "Flying Islands of Jasonia", but he soon became bored of Micronationalism and returned to Apolyton where he has since appeared at varying times... Mostly every 3 months (when the name change feature becomes active) he will change his name and post a lot.

Contribution to Apolyton: Spam. Spam. "Funposts" Humor. Angry posts. (and I have heard... vulgar posts?)
<b>Description:</b>
He has been sighted at Sidgames.com and used to post a lot in the Alpha Centauri section there.
Later when he moved to Apolyton he spammed and was banned numerous times.
Fast_Eddie changed his name to ghen because
It is quicker to type and I like it better. I use it everywhere now
He left Apolyton after throwing a tantrum because all 9 DL's of his were discovered and banned and his login was banned for some length.
His only comment about Apolyton that I could solicit at CGN was
"It just isn't my type of site- I don't agree with the leadership there"
He left Apolyton in September 2000.
His time at CGN was breif. Lasting from November 2000 to Late December 2000 because he felt restrictive by the new rules imposed upon Off-Topic posters.
These new rules were crafted by the OT mods, <b>DarkCloud</b> and <b>Sunday Mourning</b> ("orange" at Apolyton) and <b>Chris Wilkinson</b> CGN's co-founder.

He also posts in the "Apolyton" section on occasion.
In September he spoofed Urban Ranger's username and changed his name to Rural Ranger and elicted many laughs for his 'zany joke'
Urban Ranger thanked LightEning for the spoof... considering himself

<b>Description:</b>
An Englishman who feels oppressed and neglected. Few people notice him except for other Englishmen who feel his pain.
He took the name Seneca because:
Blame Thucydides...
I don't know where he is now, but I saw his name and though 'Aha! A historically aware, classically-biased site!' Theben was also around, and I imagined him to be somehow enamoured of the ancient city of Thebes (either Greece or Egypt).
Caesar the Great, Alexander's Horse and Alexander the Great were also posting that day, so I felt bound to choose a Classical name.
Cicero was taken, so Seneca was the next best thing.

Dracon owns a Civ II site that had some good material and a spam forum that is little used.
The forum even has a "Spam" section for people to purposely spam in. Paul Hanson overused that part of the forum and made over 99 topics with trash in them.
The site and forum are abandoned now.

Orange was one of the first Off-Topic posters who I identified with and bonded with and created a friendship with. He is also the first Apolytoner whom I contacted with Instant Messenging.
He contributed to the Civ III ideas section, but it was truly in the OT where he left his mark with The Apolyton Yearbook, a guide to all Apolytoners that included their pictures.

<b>Description:</b>
There are three Scouse Gits.
One, the original, SG1 is the father of SG3 and a good friend of SG2. SG1 is a civil war and ironclad buff. He likes all things related to war and Civilization II.
SG2 is much like SG1, except his relation to SG1 is that of friend.
SG3 is known to Apolyton as SG1's
brat daughter
Currently SG3 is trying to petition for an avatar of her own, because she does not appreciate the ironclad that her father and SG2 use for their posts.
I first got to know the Scouse Gits in August 2000, where someone made a reference to there being three of them.
I did not confirm this until the threre SG's posted in a thread made by <b>CornMaster</b> in November 2000.
The Scouse Gitses are British.

onepaul and myself did not get along well, but he did teach me an interesting thing; that I should not casually insult people. Through his insults I learned that I never wanted to be callous and not think about other's feelings.
I am not sure if onepaul meant to be insulting, hopefully he did not, however, he was a great teacher of how I should behave on Apolyton, and for that, I thank him.

Contribution to Apolyton: Build the Apolyton culture
<b>Description:</b>
I am Eroberer, and I've been Eroberer on here for almost three years now. I came here and argued with Red Trotskyite until I became a leftist, argued with Berzerker until I became a rightist, and gently settled back into leftism due to, I'm sure, the lack of proper libertarian posts around here now (or maybe 'cus I just don't read those anymore anyway). I long for the early days of Apolyton, in all honesty, although the middle era was great, too, even if I didn't post in it
I'm atheist, 5'10", blondish hair, blue eyes, resigned to philosophical skepticism, 18 years old, just finished advanced high school courses, going off to the Univerisity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill next year...
My real contribution could be having helped build Apolyton culture, while never really participating in it.
Or the enormous debates that gave Starchild something to do while sipping coffee in the morning, even though I blame myself for Porphyrogenitus's departure.
