My role is poorly characterised and not substantial enough. I doubt I'm that helpful and there aren't enough references to how great, fantastic and modest I am.

Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Especially the modest part
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I'm not going to quote Hardman, but
... I haven't thought about that in years!
Other parts that made me (in no particular order):
Dracon - "Oops. Double post. Sorry"Kunal - "Imran, stop trying to look like Pravin Lal."Sergeant Sheets - "Not so fast. We have written authorization from Internic...{Did I mention that DanQ was killed in the battle? Oops… sorry I didn’t. Well he was.}My favourite:Dracon - "This is a gross violation of the Civilization Decency Act, I can tell you that."
DanQ - "That bastard! Why didn't I just stick with The Ultimate Civilization site? The Emperor was a far better nick than DanQ anyway…"
I believe you did post this at some point, Dracon, at least parts of it for some of it does seem familiar. It touches upon so many quirks of Apolyton's early days, and that of the Civ online community at the time, both directly and indirectly. As could be gleamed from my quotes above, I preferred the first two parts (and the start of the third).PolyCast Co-Host, Owner and Producer: entertaining | informing civ

Yeah.... it kinda peaked around there... the fourth part was probably best left incomplete. It seems to get a bit self-indulgent there... what with all that stuff about me and the Mod Asylum. I seem to get infected by a Monty Python bug as well which gets progressively worse as my writing continues.Comment

Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez DávilaComment

Hey Imran! Yeah, I guess I had an account.. and I thought I had an older account, but couldn't find it in the member list. I had to log in to an ancient Yahoo account to retrieve and reset my password.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View Post
