Apolyton "Funny Project" - Sign up

*smacks Siro*

Stop that running around!

*falls on floor*

Hey! I had 9 more minutes to go out of mine 14!


OOC: This is also a thing I've missed since the coffee shop died..

[Goingonit]

What exactly are you writing, Siro?

[Sirotnikov]

Eh... I'm not quite sure yet.

I mean, I'm in that stage of writing, where I ahven't exactly put anything on paper. Nor do I have any clear view, of what od I wanna do.

I remember talking about two ideas with Imran.

I intend to fulfil one of them. (how do you properly spell fulfil anyways?)


1) The bible - with apolyton characters
2) Some historical review - with apolyton characters.

In August we though about doing WWII, but today I think the intersting situation today is much more inviting.

I'd help make this place funny, but it would be out of character. My job is to either be way too serious on ethics threads or not serious enough on other threads, and to start useless polls from time to time. When it comes to writing Apolyton-based stories, well, I just can't do that sort of thing. The nonsense I write really is nonsense, not the sort of nonsense you're looking for.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That was nonsensical, technophile!

[Mr. President]

Funny stuff!

This sounds like fun! Can I help?

[Goingonit]

I would help for either. The bible one actually sounds more promising.

Have you ever seen a book called 'The Bible According to Spike Milligan"? It's a direct biblical parody, and it's British humor at its most... British.

Bible-like? OK

First there was The Greek Civilization II site...

















...and then there was CHAOS! And then, the Apolyton admins appeareth. There was Markos... and there was... um... I forgetteth, EDITOR: I SAITH UNTO YOU TO PLEASE INSERT THE NAME OF HE WHO BE ART THE OTHER ADMIN. (Writer: Its DanQ, dumbass!) Anyway, It was Markos who saideth unto DanQ that they must create an Apolyton OT. And so it was Markos who laithed out the plan, while DanQ "did other work around the site behind the scenes" and was moved to undisclosed locations. When DanQ posessed the time to look at the plan, Dan saideth unto Markos, "How the hell Writer: this is a Bible dumbass!) EDITOR: I SAITH UNTO YOU TO SHUT THE HELL (Writer: Th-) -DONT EVEN START- UP! So DanQ saideth, "How the hell are we going to have enough time to dealeth with they who be art spammers?





....And then there was Ming!

OK, I'm bored for now.

[Sirotnikov]

Sure you can!

Either do something funny yourself, or lend me a hand.

If you see any way how apolyton characters, mainly OTers, as OTers know little about anyone else , plus non-OTers won't be here to read it.

[Sirotnikov]

FireDragon, nice try. Work on it - expand.

Goingonit, where can I possibly find it... err.. downloadable?

I haven't seen it in Israel in bookstores, and I'm not a frequent internet buyer...

Alas, it is hard to find. I got my copy in Shakespeare & co. in Paris. But My copy is now lost. I couldn't find anywhere to download it, and it's 10$ US on Amazon.

This isn't at all funny.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! How's that for funny????

[Imran Siddiqui]

If you want something bible-like, read The Gospel According to Dracon.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Here's the challenge.

First off- relay story writing is usually crap. True- you can get brilliant ones, but only when you get writers who tune into each other's wavelength and provide feed lines for each other.

A better approach is to go for self-contained pieces on a common theme, if you want group involvement, and I'd like to make a suggestion. This is a Civ site, so why not write "The Apolyton History of the World". Write about a historical event, a Wonder of the World, a technological breakthrough or a disaster.

The potential for comedy in history is prectically limitless. Pick yourself a chosen target and play up the laughs for all you're worth. I'll be happy to provide an example to get people's brains going.

Whaddya rekkin?
