    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      I played Civ 2 for a bit, then Civ 3 came out. I went searching for Marla's world map over in a big ol' long thread at CFC (skipping a day of school ) and was linked here eventually, where I first hung out in the Civ 3 Creation forum.

        Various MUSHes. I had my own, too.

          Was that for ****s and giggles or would you prefer to be a woman? Just asking for curiosities sake. I always wondered how many men pretended to be an 18 year old girl and vice versa.

            I was into a local BBS back in the early '90s. Then... AOL. Did some dungeons and dragons in AOL chatrooms. I don't remember any AOL forums though.

            Then, I don't remember much Internet activity. Maybe I actually had a life for a few years. Then came Civ and my life was forever doomed. Found Apolyton through Gameleague. Found Gameleague when my friend Buddy and I decided (amongst ourselves) we were two of the best Civ2 players in the world and sought out a site where we could prove it. Sure enough we were two of the best, but there was more competition out there than we expected.

            So I basically just posted in the Gameleague forum, hosted by Apolyton. Finally I went exploring and found the rest of the site. I'm not as hooked on OT as the rest of you, but I'm still here more than I should be.

                Forums for whatever game I was playing at the time.

                The only reason I am still visiting apolyton is because the Off Topic got a hold of me.

                      I use to chat on mirc a lot back in college... but that's about it.

                      Once I got out of school I was always to busy to chat. Then one day at work, while thinking of CIV, I decided to look for ppl to talk about it with... Found this place and nothing has been the same.

                              Through my interest in Civ2 scenarios (Red Front comes to mind), but I can't really remember the exact details...lurked for quite a while and then registered, just to semi-lurk some more...

                                Poly was my first.
                                I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
