Oh, if I only had discovered this forum a little bit earlier, and registered a little bit earlier too... I came here months before I registered, but didn't "dare" to post at first... OTOH, I was only 13/14 at the time.

A wistful of dollars?

I recollect a time when the only people working on the civ3 ideas was me, some guy named itokugawa, and some other loser named donDon. I wonder whatever happened to him.

wow. that's the exact same story for myself I didn't want to give out my email on the internet, so I didn't register. Indeed, I discovered this site first in 1998 before it merged, then in 1999 shortly after it merged, then looked at "THE LIST" under construction (or tried to anyway) in Feb 2000.

Finally, after joining the now-defunct Sidgames site, I registered here to work on Civ III ideas and to post in the AC-Fiction story area with "The Chiron Chronicle" (a game that I co-GMed with LORDLMP )

Ah, the pre-List days, when Civ3 was just a pipe-dream.

I dunno, I heard dumDum had graduated from a loser school called Va Tech, just like some guy called TheBum. Both fell off the edge of the Earth.

How do they do that, anyways? I dare say that is not a HUMAN level of spam.

Yeah, I first started visiting Apolyton at some point in about 1999. I mostly only visited the Civ2 forums and then it was primarily only to look up various issues or to download maps and scenarios.

I didn't actually register to the site and make my first post until September 2002 (in order to join the original Civ3 Democracy Game).

Racked up a few posts since then.

I wonder if I had any idea who itokugawa was when I posted the "He got lost" posts. I certainly don't now.

I've used 2 serious screen names before. Krushala and Puaxant Tuvip (it's a native american phrase). I've also had various other DL's. Don't worry, the mods know about them. And I recieved about a 1500 post count reduction for them. I first heard about this site from Alpha.owo (the original SMAC forums), shortly after SMAC came out. I registered in May 2000 with Krushala.

I had different screen names because back then you couldn't change your screen name.

The others were for entertainment purposes. Barfasm, and Fistful of Steel. Others such as Ass Clown, maryjane, maybe a couple of others.

	Suffering from ads?

While we're reminiscing about "the List," two comments:

1. Maybe yin26 was a bit too giving when he said "If just one idea..." as the motto for the List. Considering that, well, maybe one idea went through. 'course part of the blame for that surely has to do with Brian Reynolds leaving.

2. Octopus & myself's Technology list... hmm, perhaps MOO3 took us a bit too seriously. Especially the "Lots of Techs" part. I like the idea of lots of techs, but not having to endlessly fiddle with production because it's always changing.

Still a quite interesting time, even if it tastes bad in retrospect.
