A secret e-mail intercepted by Apolyton Intelligence.
From sid@youwillallplaygolfandlikeit.com
To bill@microsoftownseverything.net
Hi Bill, it's Sid.
We have the plans all in motion. We shall release Civ3, which, as we both know, is really a secret version of Windows 2001 - SuperBuggy Edition . When we have released the Operating System into the general populace, it will multiply itself in the form of Civ3 patches on the internet.
Once every computer owner on the planet owns Windows 2001/Civ3 (people will believe it to be Civ3 even though it is merely a video and not interactive at all) the bugs and crashes will begin, on a scale not seen since Call to Power!
When all the computers on Earth have been disabled, we can rule the world together! And the only software that will work will be SID MEIRS GOLF GAMES run under Windows 2002 - We Own Your Souls Edition .
Anyway, I'm not sure why I just e-mailed you all our plans when you already know them, but there we are.
Sid

Easy task. I visited www.f-secure.com (antivirus company), selected the "know hoax" section, browsed to find one that fits with the joke I had in mind.Originally posted by SerapisIV

Then I cutted some parts and tried to adapt it without ruining all with my mediocre english. It seems at least two enjoyed it.
Thanks, I feel all warm inside, now

Just for history, I already mentioned a hint about all this "Civ III hoax" affair, posting:
Mine bright anticipation appeared at When do you expect the release of Civ III? poll.We aren't considering SimGolf gaining a so huge success that Sid simply dismiss the whole boring (for him) civ card game (oops, sorry: that was Dino card game
).
"Think if Apolyton fans waited years for a Civ III and none ever show"
Almost on par with Yin forecast of Civ limited edition with bonus CD, still not on the same level of the anticipated Sid Golf!
