How many Apolytoners does it take to change a lightbulb?
49.
1 warlord to change the lightbulb and start a thread posing the question. 8 more warlords to post similar experiences they've had. 3 princes to post links to sites containing interesting pictures of lightbulbs. 1 chieftain to ask if changing the lightbulb affects shield production. 4 settlers to ask if changing the lightbulb in the capital affects shield production in all cities on the same continent. 4 kings to point out that the answer is in the FAQ. 1 more king to say this thread should be in the Civ-General forum. 26 emperors to write spam posts. And 1 moderator to close the thread with a stern warning that these forums are not the place for lightbulb jokes.
Just thought you'd like to know.

26 emperors to write spam posts.
|
Why 26? It shouldn't take more than two or three to get the spam going.

Yeah, a few quality emperors can really spam up a thread without it being seen as obvious.
Damn that I missed this in a +1 forum.

Actually, the number varies with how many get in their spamfest before the first mod shows up. Sorry, you're a bit short of your fifty.
