As originally anticipated, the fourth chapter from the first volume of Apolyton Civilization Site`s "The History of..." multi-part serial has been published. From from the full introduction:
"Seven years ago, Daniel Quick and Markos Giannopoulos agreed to merge their respective Civilization II fansites and form Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS). The joint press release issued by Quick and Giannopoulos would be the first of many, setting out what the site would incorporate, how it would operate and discussing future plans. Little attention was paid to the roads travelled to get to that point.
Within a year of this time, a general however brief history of how ACS came into being was published on-site. [..] Many... questions remained unanswered, and others still unasked. Until now. [..]
The first volume of "The History of Apolyton Civilization Site" ("THOACS"), written by Quick, documents the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the Ultimate Civilization II Site from its founding to morphing as one-half of ACS. At nearly 9,000 words, 'An Ultimate Journey' goes into greater detail than ever before publicly disclosed. Nearly 150 endnotes speak to the effort and extent of research conducted by Quick to make this work as comprehensive and authoritative as possible."
This week, the fourth chapter has been published. Comments/questions are welcomed here. "THOACS"` fifth chapter and conclusion is presently scheduled for release on September 27th.
