someone should have checked grammar and spelling before making the article public...

also, he forgot to mention the spam that is done in the OT, as well as the lonely Central-European bastard who's working on ruining it (yes, the spam as well as the OT)

Dangnabbit, I can't believe he didn't mention me!
I'm the only Apolytoner who can verify that Stefu isn't female, that HAS to count for something.

One real good thing about the OTF is that it is a place for all the different game groups to get together.
It's a place for the civers... CTPers... ToTers... SMACers... to meet and discuss things. I'm a civer, and I very seldom wander to non civ forums. If I didn't post in the OTF, I would be missing a lot of great people.

Well, after avoiding it for so long, I've decided to give OT a go, and so far I'm a happy camper. I think it was the Coffee Shop thread that put me off it last time. Each to their own, I guess. I may just be the newest conversion.

As usual, not mentioned - that's the price you pay for being the OT's biggest centrist.
Oh well... when I drop the bombshell in a few days people will actually begin to start mentioning me.
(And DanQ, you know what the "bombshell" is, so don't ask.)

Oh wait, that's right: I forgot Provost H., WV, & Dracon also know what the "bombshell" is...
The wait won't be much longer, I promise...

conner, you are one of the folks that keep me coming back to Apolyton, and one of the few that I've set as a goal to meet one day. Thank you for your kind words and thoughts my friend, you've always been a rock.

I thought your previous statement was rhetorical, Reismark... if you write it, submit it for posting. We are still in need of an article for this weekend.
