Something To Think About While You Wait....

[Illuminatus]

Can I suggest a quote: "You have just been banned." I love the funny ones

[Arnelos]

The greatest Apolyton ISDG Quote of all time (warning: inside joke, but this is so oft cited, that it bears advertisement):

"Master Zen, that is because you are lazy and you suck"
- Togas

It was meant in good humor and continues to be used in good humor, so no harm done.

[Solver]

Ahh I found the file I indeed sent you two years ago. A few quotes from famous people, and some good quotes from Apolytoners that were relevant back then :

In the forest, where beers are running – Solver.

My best ever English mistake

We can not confirm nor deny anything – Jeffrey Morris.

We are aware of the issue and are working on it – Jeffrey Morris.

Had to love Jeff shortly after release of Civ 3, no?

D-I-S-N-E-Y – remember it if you’re curious about my next project – Yin26.

From the days of Yin Meier .

I will never ever do it again – Faded Glory.

Ehh, this is a sad one now .

[Spiffor]

Thanks Markos for fixing it

It's nice to have these quotes, even though the waiting times have been dramatically reduced

[MarkG]

Ahh I found the file I indeed sent you two years ago

has the thought of re-sending it passed from your top part of your body?

[Solver]

Done. Though there's not much, and it's old .

[DrSpike]

I thought someone assembled 100s of quotes to add.

[Adagio]

I have found a site with some very funny quotes worth reading:

http://amusingfacts.com/stupid/

"Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing - but none of them serious."
- Alan Minter, Boxer

"How to store your baby walker: First, remove baby."
- Anonymous Manufacturer

[Kuciwalker]

w00t! Just noticed it!

[Wittlich]

[DarkCloud]

That's the best standard unix quote:

"The elder gods went to Suggoth and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

Just wondering, some day could we replace some of the non-relevant ones with all-apolyton related quotes?

Great feature!

Nuclear War Forum Game

Round 3 - Petition to rename the game nuclear buddies.

The most interesting thing to happen this round was a slip up whereby someone accidentally used what I presume to be their DL to send in the orders. My lips are sealed, however.

Nuclear War

Round 4

"DC opened fire on Ljcvetko, using his stockpile to take him down to 1 city. The rest is quite delicious. Smiley sent 1 to -tko, eliminating him, and 1 to Theben. Theben, expecting retaliation from Smiley, deflected to him. However, DC also sabotaged Theben's orders, leaving him defenceless. As luck (?) would have it, NM also sent 4 nukes Theben's way, more than enough to eliminate him."

-- DrSpike

It's hilarious he even remotely thinks its luck
-- Smiley

I meant "board" rather than forum, which is relevant considering the board at the top of that list is really a collection of 500 odd forums melded together with dark magic.

That list makes me feel like far less of a dork. There is truly nothing more pathetic than a mammoth hebrew forum devoted to poor quality argentine television; or an anime roleplaying forum where more than half a million people talk about how they'd like to tentacle-rape sailor-suited schoolgirls. Compared to those guys we're the supercool studmuffins of the internet

On someone possessing over 1000 arrows in Baldur's Gate

Hell, you should be seeking out situations where you can use up some of those arrows.

p1: "Hey, look. A button. Shall I press it?"
p2: "No, lets press it by shooting an arrow into it!"

p1: "We need to mark which caves we have gone down."
p2: "Ok, lets shoot arrows into the ground!"
p1: "We could always use this chalk to dr..."
p2: "Arrows it is! Fire away!"

Why Apolyton was slow. (While MarkG was in the army)

"he is recruting members for his radio and civ's cites , .....

no wonder the server is slow , he is bringing in his whole platoon , then his battalion and by the time he leaves he has an entire Greek regiment on poly , .....

that explains it , why did we not think about this before , ....

have a nice day in the army"

Now you're just wasting precious monitor-ink!

"If panag helped someone with its posts it was purely accidental, its posts were randomly put together strings of words by an artificial intelligence simulation program.

So wait, let me get this straight. . . . You don't have any users, so you want us to come over there and talk to each other . . . even though we're already talking to each other here and now.

"Cyrion said exactly what I thought - the thread title is alas true. I had hoped that it was a nonsense tale about his being defeated at Prince level but how likely was that?

A deity-level player, and to judge from the small insight given into his personality by the posts he made here, a deity-level person too. This is a sad loss for the entire on-line Civ community and more particularly for Liverpool's Git community.

I feel sure that SG(2) will respawn in a prime 4-special river location, a far better place than here."

I also have some gems from other forums of mine: example-

Firstly I wasn't the one who banned him (I just added the registration IP block), but anyhow there is nothing wrong with banned people being online, even if I'd think they'd find it boring watching no access screens.

[05/03|19:51] Wax Maybe there should be a semantics forum.
[05/03|20:12] Paul But I'd never be able to find a title and description for such a forum that everyone would agree on.

According to the FAA, the propeller blade didn't break off, it was just a case of "uncontained blade liberation."

You think that's bad? "Crash" is "premature impact with terrain".

"I'm just wondering if theres some unwritten rule that you must continously harass a settler once hes arrived on Apolyton?

I post in the OT and suddenly a huge barrage of "DL" came. I know this means double-login, but I thought it was a forum joke, not tar and feathers to scare newbies away."

"Rah: Another rule of thumb. If the post takes up the whole screen (full, not spaces) when posted, it's harder to be accused of spamming. Effort is always taken into account.

Locutus: Which is bad news if you post in a forum where I'm a mod, since my screen is 1600x1200"
