Apolyton & CivFanatics Merging! (APRIL FOOLS)

[Sirotnikov]

Actually - there is one thing I'm really proud of.

The prank was all 'polyton's idea, and CFC was used as a co-conspirator.

Yet - almost no one fell for it on poly, yet CFC had a total cow.

I consider April 1st 2007 to be the date where Apolyton pwned CFC

It's about time they tell the truth.

I knew it was fake, but I decided to get as much spam as possible in while it lasted

The planning of the joke was almost even more enjoyable then seeing how the joke got everybody on a move at some site

The people's call it 'Pol Harbor. I think it's a funny nick

No, no, no. Not the people's, just some from the OT forum. Since I don't hang out at our OT I had trouble at first distinguishing between who was CFC and who was Poly.

Unfortunately I'd have to agree with you. I believe though that on average CFC has a much younger crowd than here.

Interesting. I've never heard of the Polycast, but your link sounds very interesting.

I hope you all (what was the word) Polytubbers don't mind if a CFC'er hangs around for a while.
That is once I get the hang of your site...

You know that charging for GOTM, I had no clue it was in there. Hell, I didn't even know what GOTM was! No idea that would be the thing people seized on (if I did, I'd suggest taking it out ASAP). Though there was some attempts to minimize it by claiming THAT was the April Fools Joke in the totally serious merger .

It is true you would have benefited from having someone with both good knowledge and good judgment on board.

A great joke. I had a great time on CFC watching the reactions. Just amazing

And still, I hope the work you guys did on CivJunction won't be for nothing. It really looks better than 'Poly webpages

[ZEE]

[selfplug]it wouldnt have been as good... hadn't it not been for my "invasion" of their news thread...[/selfplug]

[Paddy]

well done... well done indeed to all and sundry

This was our most detailed April Fools Joke and [b]even for those who were skeptical since the beginning, I hope there was doubt due to all the work [b].

...mmmm, not quite.

It doesn't.

It is just as useless as the regular Civ IV / Civ II sections.
