There should be a reference to Apolyton in Civ3

[DarkCloud]

cyclotron- Ignore Echtelon and Eli and you will get by just fine in Apolyton...

well... on second thought- Ignore Dookie and Alexander's Horse, and Comrade Dan, and Mao and you will be even better off.

[Alex]

Well, they could put a reference in the title; something very simple, like... "Sid Meier & Apolyton´s Civilization III"

[Stefu]

I agree, there needs to be a reference. Maybe video for The Internet would include some guy surfing in Apolyton?

[Theben]

You think that actually using some of our ideas wouldn't be considered an "Apolyton mention"?

They only need to name me in the credits.

Good job Stefu! If you go back up and read my posts, you'll see that I already mentioned that!

All other civ sites are footnotes on Apolyton.

[N35t0r]

Or a Civ called Apolyton!


Like, with all the forums as cities, and also Mingcapulco, and the Coffee Shop, and everything!

Yeah, nice idea!

DC - I think the whole community would be better of if you weren't here

DAMMIT THAT WAS MY IDEA!

SEE???? !!!!

[Stefu]

Well, your "idea" involved an advance, while my idea involved a wonder. Completely different

[Ecthy]

Too right, Stefu and Connorkimbro...

[connorkimbro]

Ok, so your idea was a modification of MY idea. Still. .

Well, I sure as hell hope you didn't edit my name out (or any of the other Apolytoners for that matter)

These days all software products create a submenu in the Windows Start Menu. I would be very satisfied indeed if Firaxis included a link to Apolyton (and other prominent Civ3 sites) in this menu.

Or perhaps some of the 'bad jokes' of the advisors could be Apolyton related? 'Our cities are so overcrowded they look like Mingapulco on Black Saturday'

A simple credit would be nice, but I hate games, movies, books, whatever that make people feel like outsiders by loading up on in jokes. Connorkimbo's idea of it being in the background of a cut scene - where we could see it but it wouldn't get in anyone else's way, that would be OK.
