    The Apolytonian Almost Daily Times
    A Useless Update


    Man takes nap wakes up 500 years later
    Falling asleep in his tent, a local tribesman Apolo [left] didn’t expect to sleep for 500 years. “Quite frankly when I woke up I thought I’d only slept for a couple of hours” Apolo stated. The world he had fallen asleep in was long gone, the tents he had dwelt in all of his life, were antiquated and people lived in modern wood cabins. The tribal long tent had also been replaced by a small cave in the center of Apolyton. There was also talk of replacing the flint which Apolo had known and loved with a hard rock known as bronze. In his dazed state Apolo heard of travels to the north into the mythical Notylopa jungle in search of more bananas. This development may render Apolos valuable banana earings completely worthless. Apolo has hopes that he can adjust to the new world. We fear however, that the adaptation we be too much for him, as it has proven a strain on those of us who have lived through these rapidly changing times.

    STOP, Society To Oppose Politicians is alive and well despite being left out of the current administration. We will not go quietly into the night!! Nor will we succumb to scare tactics and McCarthy-style blacklisting currently being attempted against us. We will stand up for what is right, like "King of Queens" and banana-rum, and oppose what is wrong, like banana-bashing and "That 80's Show".

    As God is our witness, we will never go banana-hungry again!!

    A Million and One Parties Form
    It seems that all though this reporter doesn’t have a clue of what’s going on, the citizens of Apolytonia do. Not content with the myriads of legal polls, decision polls and government advisement discussions; they have decided to create threads where they can forward their agendas; away from the politicking of the official threads. Several of these parties have either contacted or been contacted by the Apolytonian Times. The oldest two parties the Imperialist and AAAC3 have been said to be working on a merger, this reporter is unsure if the merger has happened or if issues persist keeping the two parties separate. The next party to form was STOP, a party which opposes things they disagree with and stands up for what is right. There is a rumor of another party recently forming named simply a major party, whether this was it’s real name or not is unclear since this reporter never bothered to read the thread. Two other parties have also formed a Cultural party and the Hawk Party. There was one other party but it prefers to remain nameless. We expect that another party will form before this paper reaches your door. Of course not all of these parties will survive. It is the opinion of this paper that the parties who get the word out through advertising are the ones most likely to survive.


    Apologies and Retractions
    This editor would like to apologize for the generally uselessness of today’s paper, and for the lack of quality. We however promise an update from one of our reporters concerning more important issues facing our young nation.

    Skywalker:
    You asked if I wanted you to take over my position. I'm not exactly sure what my position is. The only thing I've gotten from people is advertisements. If you would like to update the paper daily go ahead. I generally ran through the closed polls for the day and took quotes and stories from there. Oh and feel free to start new threads when you feel it's a good idea.

        Chrandragupta's Report From The Front

        Last time I wrote for this paper's predecessor, The Apolytonian, I was in the middle of the Notylopa Jungle with the colony mission whining about the low quality of life... In fact, nothing has changed as yet. We have ceased our migration and are awating orders from the Government back in Apolyton.

        Also, this jungle can't be infinite, if it is huge (which it seems to be) then we will deal with it in whatever manner the population and government agrees to do so.

        In other news it seems that the Defense Minister is going to be forced to fight with warriors and spearmen. As lamentable as that is, a defensive war is all we could hope to win right now without iron anyway. The extra attack power of an archer would be negated or at least reduced against the AI when the defensive bonus of the jungle is considered.

        I have full faith in all of the Minister's (and Pres/VP) 's ability to effectively and wisely direct our progress. Whether or not I agree with different Minister's policies, I will acknowledge that we need all of them and all of their wildly different viewpoint because they will all consistently keep important issues (defense, technology etc.) in the forefront.

        May the Bananas and the Empire Live forever!

              ~1525 EST: We have founded a new city, to be named Notylopa after the jungle which strangles our continent. More details as they arrive.

                  No offense to those who built the poly chat, but I dont think I could agree anymore than I do! Personally, I just dont think it was built to handle the kind of traffic it recieved today.

                    Oh right, my front line report. Well, here's how the present situation looks for anyone who doesnt know what's going on (like me).
                    Our colony finally became a second city. Apparently it was named Thebes contradictory to my above report and will be renamed later.
                    On the diplomatic front, we've contacted the French. Whether that will be the harvenger of doom (i doubt it) for our civ or the signalling of a new era of beating down our neighbors is yet to be seen.
                    Back home, there seems to have been a foux-pas (sp.) involving the capital's build orders... worker vs. warrior, i'm not sure which happened and which was supposed to.
                    In politics, Space05us has resigned/demanded to be impeached. My guess would be that after today's turn chat he got just as frustrated/confused as everyone else there and like most people directly involved in running democracy has come to dislike it. Anyone who's ever done a model UN knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Probably, there will be new elections.

                    All in all, today was an exciting day for Apolyton.
