Okay, here's a tease of the intitial Mythos:

In the beginning there was AL.
AL was all things, and all things were AL.
And AL said "let there be the internet!"
And the internet was.

And AL saw the internet, and the internet was good.
But the internet was chaos and strife without order.
Amongst this strife and disorder an entity was born.
And this entity took the name MarkG.

MarkG saw the disorder and strife and it was not good.
So he established a place of eternal order.
He called this place Mount Apolyton.
And MarkG dwelt upon Mount Apolyton and existence was good.

[QUOTE]PANTHEON of APOLYTON
Deities

MarkG - Overgod and protector of all things. Slayer of Kittens.
Alexander's Horse - God of Trolls. Frequently in conflict with Ming.
Mao - God of Spammers. Also frequently in conflict with Ming.
Ming The Merciless - Slayer of spammers and trolls, God of CASE CLOSED and Overlord of the dread realm Mingapulco.
rah - God of Animals and Beasts. Lord of ferrets, Brother of Ming (a title all of it's own) and Overlord of Rahlcatraz.

On weather or not these are offensive and could result in Ghengisfarb getting banned if he continues with a project on "Apolyton Myrhos"

Offensive...

Many... Many... Many... Many... times, stories have been done poking fun at the admin and mods... I can't ever remember ANYBODY on the staff acting against the creators or being upset. It's pretty standard practice that those kind of things are allowed unless they violate site rules for other reasons.

After reading through the whole thread, I was trying to see what it was that GF thought he might be banned for... or any threats of such action... or any threats period... and I still have no clue what he's talking about.

[PLATO]

As we all thought then. Thanks for clearing that up Ming.

Ghenghis, Looks like your in the clear! Hope you'll add some more.

Not really, since the real question is about the 'threat' that has been mentioned. I reread the thread, and there is nothing, so it must be private. And from the look of things not related to the mods.

[Dauphin]

Read the post directly above yours to see what I mean.

[DrSpike]

I know what you mean. I saw the post.

But Plato's post didn't really answer anything for me, since I already thought that the mods would look upon the parts he quoted from GF's posts as fun.

The real questions remain.

[Dauphin]

Ble!

[Skanky Burns]

I think quoting NYE's post may have been the most helpful. As in that post is the only one that mentioned "threats" of any kind. They were an obvious joke though.

My expert analysis of the situation:
Too much paranoia on the part of one of the posters here.

[Bloody Monk]

Like most great artists, you might go so far as to say GF is a tad oversensitive; but paranoia is a stretch. Having been, as he said , banned without notice before, this is merely an abundance of caution.

Hopefully, if enough folk shout encore!, The Mythos will be completed.

So, let's hear some more, GF. Please.

Its all a ploy to drum up publicity.

Bill Gates said this was the best way to go!



And Ming grasped Provost Harrison and boomed.
"This abuse of the mortal beings must cease!"
"Halt this wretched molestation of their lust!"
For Ming felt anger that someone else should abuse them.

But Provost Harrison would not relent.
He further twisted the mortals towards wickedness.
And the gargled cries of the mortals were heard by Ming.
And Ming was wroth, very and most terribly wroth.

And Ming grasped Provost Harrison and proclaimed,
"I hast warned thee of this wickedness!"
"Thou dost not listen and so must pay the consequences!"
At which Ming cast Provost Harrison down from Apolyton.

And Provost Harrison continued with his wickedness.
And Ming cast him down again yet Provost continued.
And Ming cast him down a third time but his anger was not abated.
And thus Ming in wrothful anger cast Provost down again and again unto the counterglow of nothingness.


I don't know what actually happened so I used artistic license.

If he was banned for violating the upload rules... so were tons of other people. It clearly states in the rules (that seems like NOBODY bothered to read) that it was against the rules... so it seems like GF's cries of being banned with no notice is being overly dramatic. Yeah, a simple PM to him asking for a change might have been better for him... but considering that MANY people have been caught violating this simple rule... the owners don't have time to send even short PM's to all the offenders. The list of people caught on this rule is REALLY long... and I don't think the owners have the time to send little PM's to everybody who have already ignored them once

[Skanky Burns]

(that seems like NOBODY bothered to read)

Well, duh!

[Bloody Monk]

If that is what it was, Ming, then maybe it was overly dramatic. My interest is solely to get GF to post more of this story. It seems to be quite good, even if it, too, is a bit overly dramatic.

[GhengisFarb™]

Its a mythos! Its supposed to be overly dramatic!

You don't want to hear about Zeus clipping his fingernails.

It would be helpful to know the order in which they achieved Deity level and where the majority of their post were.

As I understand it Ming got a good chunk of his post from Off Topic before its post were no longer counted.

[Skanky Burns]

Me Likey.

This is to good!

Especially when followed by The slayer of spamers and trolls stating that the greater gods cannot be bothered with communicating why their rath came down from the mountain!

Not correct... the majority of my posts were on topic. While I did get some, like many people... people forget I was posting on the Original Greek Site long before the merger, and have always been VERY active in the Civ II community

Since this is modelled on Greek mythology, I want to hear the bit where Ming changes into an animal and ravishes a virgin.
