	i had a dream about apolyton... Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

it was truly bizarre. about 70 of us were in front of westminster abbey and we were getting prepared to take a picture. then all the canadians started singing the canadian national anthem but all the americans just turned it into america the beautiful. the europeans just shuttered and cursed us for holding up the picture. then i got in a heated arguement with markg(because i was taking the picture) and gave him a thrashing. everyone encourage him to ban me jokingly as if that would be propper retrobution for what i did.

god bless apolyton.

I had a dream about poly once. It was something like half a year before Civ III came out.

I dream that I somehow got an inside copy of Civ III, and as I began playing it, I quickly alt+tab'ed and went over to poly to spill the good news.

I was aware that there was a risk that I couldn't get it back running again, but I decided to risk it, for my love of poly.

When I tried to switch back to the game, I couldn't - it wouldn't load the graphics. I was mad, but I still was glad I posted about it.


In the end, I woke up, and posted a thread about it in the Civ III suggestions forum.

Now that I think about it, how can you have dreams of people you never met IRL for the most part? Did folks just appear as gigantic human-shaped screen names?

You wanna talk WEIRD Apolyton dreams?

I had a dream where Apolytoners believed I have a sense of humor.

Ok -- I never actually had that dream.

I have a dream About Apolyton...

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Apolyton dream.

I have a dream that one day this message board will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all posters are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the sandy dunes of Mingapulco the sons of former Deities and the sons of former settlers will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the People’s Republic Off Topic, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the quantity of their post count but by the content of their posts and quality of their trolls.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Civfanatics Center, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little settlers boys and settler girls will be able to join hands with little deity boys and deity girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every forum shall be exalted, every thread shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Markos shall be revealed, and all alter egos shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to Apolyton. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our web based community into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to debate together, to troll together, to be banned together, to protest fascist moderators together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of Markos’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My forum, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Forum where Hydey's father lied, land of the veterans’ pride, from every threadside, let freedom ring."

And if Apolyton is to be a great web based community this must become true.

So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of CGN.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of Counterglow.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of the Free Fire Zone!

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Something Awful!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of Nationstates.net!

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Rahlcatraz!

Let freedom ring from the sandy beaches of Mingapulco!

Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Macedonia.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every thread and every forum, from every web based community and every inferior spin-off backwater, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Markos's children, Emperors and Settlers, Princes and Warlords, Deities and Moderators, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Apolyton spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank Markos Almighty, we are free at last!"

As long as there are other inspirational speakers to steal from, you'll do fine.
