The Best of Apolyton's Story Threads Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I always hate the introductory sentence.

I'm currently working on a project to re-HTMLize and archive those story threads which I feel are good, important or just... good. Hrm. What the point of this is is to see whether or not anyone cares aboot this or not. So I'll put a list of those threads I am doing now, and will let people voice their opinions as to which should stay, which should go and which should be added. Well then, on with it.

-Suriname II: Superpower or nation of toads?
-Suriname III: The Saga Continues
-Suriname IV: The Green Army Series
-Suriname V: Fire and Shadow
-Suriname VI: The New Age
-Suriname VII: The Final Days
-Suriname VIII: The New Legacy
-Apolyton Bar
-Apolyton Nightclub
-Apolyton Steel Mill
-Apolytown Crackhouse
-Civ Wars: The Prequel
-Civ Wars: Audentior Strikes Back
-Earth 3000 (the first revival)
-From Sea to Shining Sea
-Granite Hills High
-both Master of Orion threads
-Ming & Rah's Excellent Adventure
-Monk & Sir David's Excellent Adventure
-Out of One, Many!
-Star Trek: The Apolytonic Episodes
-Story Thread Humor
-The Global Senate
-The Gospel According to Dracon
-The Great World Car Race
-The NIMology
-The Pokemon Restaurant
-The Seventh Seal
-all three Utopia Projects
-The Worst Story Thread Ever
-Today's World (pending)
-The World 1999 (pending)
-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (pending)

Nobody suggest the Big Huge War, either. Dank je.

Edit: To clarify things, the "pending" threads are the ones I have yet to track down.

Hey, btw, I'm surprised that Granite Hills High is there. It was rather shortlived, but it had a very good premise.

Coug:

Actually, I'm pretty doubtful that any copies of YYYH & Imran's Excellent Adventure still exist. I was hanging around back then, yeah, but of course I never had the foresight to save it. It's the same situation with the first Suriname thread. If anyone can find them, I'll more than willingly put it up there.

Of course, you'll have to contend with Imran, Starchild and all that other rabble who claim the original Excellent Adventure is sacred scripture or whatever and should be silenced so the newbies have nothing but passed-down half-remembrances of it.

And LordStone1, I put in Granite Hills High because it was an interesting premise and a deviation from the norm of "I am ultra-hyper-mega-powerful extremely unlikely conglomeration of nations that actually hate each other. I send one million Ninja Laser Killer Rocket Warriors to Country B's capital. Country B is no more." But more than anything, this was the line that instantly sold me to it:

"You do not have a nuclear arsenal nor the blind loyalty of millions."

I, for one, am glad to see Seventh Seal up there... I feel that my posting in Seventh Seal was some of the best writing I ever did... I also still share Starchild's dream of turning it into a novella, if I ever have the time to compile it from the archive...

Ah yes, the legend of the first Adventure (all started by me) shall live on forever in minds and legend.

Oh, Forksy, I love your sig .

Perhaps you could find the FIRST Earth 3000? If I recall they included the Imranian Rules for Story Threads, which have existed for quite some while and have been adapted. It would be fun to see the original rules.

Ah, yes, the blessed life of a lurker with a gift to never be noticed.

Well. I've technically been around for over a year now; I came to Apolyton back in December '98 after the BoS/CWAL war (ask Imran aboot that) petered oot on alpha.owo, mainly to participate in Suriname. I eventually tired of that for some reason, and didn't come back for a while. Then I heard of the Day of Judgement (the banning of YYYH and Spink) and decided to never come back.

I came back in November. Since that time, I've been going through the archives saving whatever I find on the HD.

And that is that.

Hey...wait, look at what happened to the stuff below our names to the left. I'm now Emperor of California. Hmm. And Mao's Emperor of Apolyton. Maybe I can play this to my advantage.
