Locutus is ours .

And besides, I still like to claim that he got the idea from my suggestion right before it on the April Fools thread in the staff forum .

Yeah, I know... although technically he's sort of AC/CFC... (Members at both places for a long time.)

I think a lot of people overreacted when they first read the story. It's really not anti-Apolyton, despite vehement insistence to the contrary. (I should say I actually came to this site long before I ever found out about CFC.)

I'm glad people are now taking it in the spirit it was intended. Thanks, guys.

I've now read through Parts 1-4 and am still enjoying this though, as mentioned by a few others already, some of the parts are a bit long. Perhaps chunked into a few more parts?

In any event I'm looking forward to Part 5 which -- if I follow rightly -- is the conclusion(?)(.)

[Ball Lightning]

No, theres going to be many more parts including stuff after the april fools announcment. And i also aggre that many parts are to long. Mainly Part 3.

I have to protest the move of this thread to our lovely Stories and Diplomacy forum! Although it definately is a story, we are a suspicious folk around here and have worked hard to accomplish the total conquest of this forum by our small (yet powerful) NES army. The result of our efforts to clean this place of intruders, spammers and trolls was a small piece of virtual land, where we can live freely and unnoticed by those evil powers of the OT, which we now find spoiling our virtual lawn!

GET OFF OUR FORUM, FOREIGNERS!!!


On topic: Well, the story overall is nicely written and amusing in many parts, but also a bit over-detailed in others. Looking forward to the fifth installment! (BUT NOT HERE!!!)

Welcome to the place where prose goes to die

[foolish_icarus]

I must voice my disagreement with Micha's opinion. This is an egalitarian land, and we should welcome all who come with good intentions.
Unfortunately, Cyc's observation is spot on.

I didn't choose to put this here, so ask Micha if yuo don't want it here.

[Ball Lightning]

Part 5 is now out, you can find it herehttp://z4.invisionfree.com/Free_Civ_Fanatics/index.php?showtopic=206 !

Easy dude, It is perfectly fine here. My post was a response to those Off-Topicers who said this forum was for the wicked and for the dead. Just some in-character rambling!

Of course you are welcome to post any kind of story here.

DrSpike: Not you!

I am an off-topicer? You are a good story-teller.

Its not me its Gaius Octavius who is. We're also in development of possibly a story based in the same world but in the beginning.

[DrSpike]

Um, I was talking to Micha.

[Ball Lightning]

Sorry about that .

[DrSpike]

No harm done.
