How many Apolytoners does it take to change a lightbulb? Suffering from ads?

49.
1 warlord to change the lightbulb and start a thread posing the question. 8 more warlords to post similar experiences they've had. 3 princes to post links to sites containing interesting pictures of lightbulbs. 1 chieftain to ask if changing the lightbulb affects shield production. 4 settlers to ask if changing the lightbulb in the capital affects shield production in all cities on the same continent. 4 kings to point out that the answer is in the FAQ. 1 more king to say this thread should be in the Civ-General forum. 26 emperors to write spam posts. And 1 moderator to close the thread with a stern warning that these forums are not the place for lightbulb jokes.
Just thought you'd like to know.

Why 26? It shouldn't take more than two or three to get the spam going.

Yeah, a few quality emperors can really spam up a thread without it being seen as obvious.
Damn that I missed this in a +1 forum.

Actually, the number varies with how many get in their spamfest before the first mod shows up. Sorry, you're a bit short of your fifty.
