Has anyone ever tried to bring up Apolytonius in public trying to see if anyone around is a member? The other day at McDonalds I shouted out loud "Apolyton forever!".

No one responded... well, except for the bigger boys who beat me up, of course.

You're wacky, Gibsie.

I bark at pedestrians as I drive by them, to amuse my daughter.

Isn't there a thread some where way back of everyone recording themselves saying Apolyton? I'm sure they said much more than that, but that's how it began iirc.

I only mention Apolyton to my friends. And they've heard of it. From me. Thirty five thousand in six billion makes for pretty slim odds.

Yes, but not IRL. only on other boards. Some people did ask me about "what the **** are you reading?", But I didn't initiate that.

I am currently trying to invite people from Israel's largest online community.

One of my mates posts here because I mentioned the place to him in passing once. But I still have far too much dignity to mention the place outside of my close circle of friends.

Not really... You know why? In this town (20,000 inhabitants) I believe I'm the only one who plays Civ/ctp... or even strategy games...

Holy **** am I cracking up. I have never once mentioned Apolyton in real life.

I have made references to it indirectly by saying I learned such and such when talking with people on the internet.
