The Official Apolyton Optimist Civers Club (OFAOPCiCLu): Not worried about apllicants
Pessimists BAH
Realists BAH Pessimists in disguise.
OPTIMISTS RULE!
If you've got that feeling, this is the place.
Our motto is;
Don't worry, everything will be just fine. CivIII will be the BEST game ever produced. They know what they're doing. They've listened to everything we've said and they'll prove it in October.
All we have to do is wait.
Officers.
We all deserve to be president so everyone will be one.
So sign up today to be a president in the (OFAOPCiCLu)
Read my review of CIVIII in Yin26's review thread and see what a wonderful game it will be. It's a happy place.
RAH
We'll combat all negative "waves".
Don't worry, be happy.

Welcome all,
We don't need no stinkin logos...........
We don't need no special titles..........
We don't need no thought control..............
All in all we're just another group of happy people
RAH
One of four presidents of the club (gee, we're like a bank)
Of course if someone could take Yin's avatar and get a red line and circle through it, we could attach it to all our posts. 
I don't think mark would mind.

Far too many pessimists in this world. 
I say stay happy and hopeful right until the day that huge rock from space smashes us to smithereens and puts all the pessimists out of there misery for ever.
You see, there's even an optimistic view of the impending apocalypse.

As an optimistic realist I've just joined the realists' club and can't join your.
I'll anyway keep an eye on what you are doing, and if the realistic club turns out to be to pessimistic I'll leave it and join your club.

They are hard at work on the game, making the best Civ ever  .
And they've never been really dedicated to a website. Not the SMAC website at least, and that was a magnificent game. You've just been spoiled, son.

Hello, guys . 
Nobody knows me but I'm still in.
May the Force be with Sid. And us.
*bangs himself on head for acting stupid*
Seems to me that the most rational thing to do is be here. We'll end up happier.
Although the pessimists will get the best surprise

proud president of OfAOpCiClu
Well, I can’t found my own club since Markos objects any new ones and since nobody is interested in my Official Apolyton Non-Aligned Civers Club anyway. So, I’ll join this cosy club because Yin’s pessimism is creepy, because Cyber is too missionary in his realism and because I like RAH’s sense of humour.
I’ll just have to work a bit on my attitude since I’m a natural born sceptic.
Does anyone have half a gram of soma perhaps?

"That sounds to me like you are a pessimist at heart."
Scepticism and pessimism are 2 different things, the former is a belief that the worst will happen while the latter implies that you question something.
Besides, I'm not the only sceptic in this club, Ming is so too, but he joined anyway because he intends to find out who this RAH fella really is.
If there's one person who's blindly optimistic, it's Imran. He'd even be optimistic if Brian and Sid themselves say civ3 sucks.
BTW, what’s the point of these clubs anyway, we can’t go on a warpath against each other or anything like that. Are we just going to cheer when our claims turn out to be true?
Oh bummer, I was sceptical.
When's the soma distribution? I really could use several grams...

Fitting, no? Maybe our avatars can be like our gang colours. If we see anybody else with a remotely agriculturally-themed avatar, we lynch 'em.

Yeah, you know that you can't found another club because of the terrible thing Mark did to my club. He closed the whole thread. Now that was uncalled for. I'm sorry Mark but it's stupid for you to do that. It's not like there is anything better to do around here. Right now there could be Yin's, Rah's, Cybershy's, Grumbold's, Colon's, and mine. Now that would have been better than just three clubs. I don't fit into any of these clubs. I only fit into my club. So I guess I'll remain the sole member to my club forever. People can join still if you want to. It just won't be marked down, which really doesn't matter. I'm not sure what club I think is the best out of three, though. You people are way too optimistic. Yin's people are bunch of mindless followers, looking for Yin at every time of need. Cybershy is way too fanatic. That's my opinion. I think Yin's would prob. have to be the best. One peson I know who would like to join this club is Rasputin, where ever he is at. Well, anyways good luck to this club.

Civ3 will be my first ever PREORDER. I want to make sure I don't have to wait until it's reissued, since I know it will disappear off the shelf whenever it arrives.
Which will be "When It's Done"
And I get to be a president of this club, that's always cool

My heart is glad. A fine start to this club.
Lot's of presidents.
Fortunately we will not waver when confronted with "Negative Waves".
Welcome ALL.
Nice avatar KH.
When I get a few extra minutes, I'll put a roster together.
Awaiting tomorrow's info release with enthusiastic optimism.
RAH

But why? Soma is good, one cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments.
