&quot;Inmate&quot;? :) Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I find the title "inmate" rather amusing for people contributing to the site.

Especially for certain posters, it most certainly is *quite* amusing.

That said, wouldn't another term be better (as amusing as "inmate" is)?

I suppose you mean it has nothing to do with posting or being apart of Apolyton unless you are staff?

I wasn't sure if I'd use it but since I was guinea pig I'll carry the flag for a little while at least. I quite like it now, and inmate is ok. I don't like the supporter one because the box is too long and it looks clumsy. Citizen might work.

I might change to inmate, but with exams coming up, and my usagen hopefully decreasing slightly as such, I think/hope supporter is more apt

Sorry if you don't like it. You can blame me for putting evil thoughts into Marko's head

Its good though. It applies both to the inmates of a lunatic asylum, and the inmates of a prison. Have you tried getting away from 'poly? Hmmm?

This is a good point. Has anyone ever truly tried to find a way out? I remember that once (May, 2002) I did find a way out and I believed I had made it out of the Apolyton labrynth for several months...

Alas, eventually I was somehow pulled back here (August, 2002) and have been stuck ever since.

Perhaps Apolyton is all there is to the universe and everything beyond it is merely an illusion?

I'd go for Citizen. That would be cool. But I won't be getting ApolytonPLUS for awhile. Stupid boss. Stupid calling me and saying it's dead in the mall and he doesn't need me.

Inmate is very fitting for staff members. I think citizen would be a good idea for the "sane" members of Apolyton. No matter how few there are

Inmate? No, I'm no inmate. JUNKIE would fit better.

And somehow Arn claims he found a way out - 4 months before he joined!

Maybe he expended his old login in the process. I know I had another login when I first joined here, I think when SMAC first came out or maybe Civ2. When I joined the second time, I didn't even realise I had joined here before.

I did realize I was here before. I just wanted to change screen names.

I've had several logins, and several double logins.
