PART I
It was the best of Civ, it was the worst of Civ: How the Revolution Began
It was the best of Civ, it was the worst of Civ; it was the day of wisdom, it was the day of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct to CivJunction.
There sat upon the throne in those days a King by the name of Thunderfall. In the early days of his reign, the people admired and respected him, save a few that had to be banned from his realm for trolling. TF exemplified all the traits of a wise and generous ruler: benevolence, kindness, civility, even heroism. In a few short years his empire grew to become the largest of all of Civilization’s Kingdoms, spanning the world over; his Fanatics sprouted up in every corner of the globe, including, importantly for our story, in a group of colonies overseas from the Empire’s capital. The people were happy, prosperous, and productive… but behind the scenes there lurked a dark danger, waiting to be unleashed on the unsuspecting citizens.
One quiet March day in the tenth year of the Civ Fanatics Empire, Thunderfall and his advisors were meeting for their usual administration discussions, when a thought occurred to them: in a few days there would be a special holiday throughout the kingdom renowned for its jovial celebrations and good humor. What if TF and his crew organized a special ‘surprise’ just for the citizens? Slowly, the devious plan began to take shape. TF would announce a new peace treaty and plan of unification with the CFC kingdom’s long-time neighbors and sworn enemies, the Apolytoners. “Surely the people will see this for what it is and get a good laugh out of it!” he exclaimed. But his advisor Chieftess was quick to point out, “Suppose some think it’s real. What happens then?” There was a brief pause. “BWA HA HA HAH HAH HAHA!!”
Preparations were made with the Apolyton leader, DanQ, and several CFC advisors, and on the first day of April, the trap was sprung. News announcements rang out all over the kingdom: “Merger with Apolyton! New CivJunction Empire to be Created!”
The stunned populace struggled to comprehend what had just happened. Confusion reigned supreme, all kinds of questions were being thrown around constantly, and uncertainty prevailed in the minds of most. Above all, there was a profound sense of disbelief and revulsion.
