    I remember Ming's thread "Ok, all the regulars..." (or something like that) at the old addicted site, that summoned people there and got them over to Apolyton.

    I remember a poster called Flavor Dave, who always posted interesting threads at the Civ 2 strategy forum and made an art of inventing eye-catching thread names (how about "Rehabilitating King Richard's Crusade"? ).

    I remember a poster called Sieve Too, who was extremely knowledgeable in everything about Civ 2.

    I remember a poster called Catullus, whose thread "And the winner is - San Marino" initiated the OCC race. I, geofelt and Catullus competed to win the space race with as few cities as possible. I think geofelt or Catullus had it down to 3, when Ming became the first to win a true OCC. I was the second one (yes, I'm a little proud of it! ).

    I remember Venger's thread (I think that was his name?) at the Civ 2 strategy forum, calling WLTLD a "crunch for the weaker player". Talk about flame war...

    I remember my first encounter with Sten Sture at the forums, and the first trembling MP experiences with him and Bird. As Oedo posted somewhere else, the exchange in the chat room was unbelievably funny!

    I remember when the Civ 2 strategy forum was so active it was hard to keep up. New threads, new topics, new strategies, new replies by the minute.

    I remember too many racists, fascists, gun fetischists etc in the off-topic forum than I want to. It seems to be better now.

    All I can come up with for now.

        Talking about the "Olden days." Carolus, you still here?

        I remember Venger's thread (I think that was his name?) at the Civ 2 strategy forum, calling WLTLD a "crunch for the weaker player". Talk about flame war...

        "Crunch..." was used for a lot of different situations for a long time after he invented the term...

        And notifying the next of kin

          I find it offensive you still call me a fascist. You have no reason to.

              Ming- you have to admit though that you have killed some story threads- remember my thread- over 15 people signed up, then it was moved to Stories, and only three or four people foudn their way there

              No hard feelings though, although we should be allowed to have a good story thread again...

                Imran, I donàt know about those ideas... "1 perhaps seems best, but it also seems as though it would degenerate into a spam fest.

                as for number 2, that souds as if it would get strange very quickly, or insulting as people insult others countries

                what if you just try to have a political party game or reconstitute the old Mongolia threads

                  Most of my post count was accumulated by story threads in the Stories forum.... gosh, that was so long ago... well at least for me it was.

                        I remeber the Bill episode. I remember coming here and Empress was the reigning royal one on the board. We seemed to have more regular women posters then.

                          Give me a break... I wasn't the one that set up a diplomacy/stories forum. I'm only a poor mod, not an admin. At least I still allow a story even though there is another forum for them. So don't give me the "I killed some story threads"... I was just doing my job

                            Anyone remember the first major Apolyton elections? The Republicans won at first but we were unjustly accused of voting fraud, so a re-vote was called in which the AUP won on a platform of attacking Belize. Lordstone and GS(The AUP candidates) were then immediatly overthrown in a bloody revolution with Imran, MJ, myself and many others...... Good times...

                                Smash was the first person to respond to my first thread...

                                I remember looking at the old site before apolyton... that was about '99. After they didn't have anyone there anymore. Then I found here, and became a poster after about 2 months of lurking. It took another year to migrate south to the OT.
