The HOTWII Archive...

The History of the World II was quite possibly one of the most interesting and innovative Diplogames the Apolyton community has yet to produce, including the original "An Open Letter to All Nations." This is not to brag or boast about this game, but it is an important game and should be remembered. No game has spanned such new ground and has included as many players as this one has, truly it was part of the Civ2 MP community here at Apolyton.

Unfortunantly nearly all of the game's threads have been locked out by the moderator Ming. Ming, I know I have been disrespectful to you many times in the past, but it was not personal more in protest.

Now I am pleading with you NOT to close this thread here, I want to keep this game's legacy alive and I believe it would be a great disservice to this community if you were to lock this thread out.

So anyone, to anybody reading this thread right now I give you the archives of the History of the World... (originally compiled by Diety):

Thanks Capo but it's deity NOT Diety!! Grrr

One of the best games I've ever played. More like being in a 'story' than a game. It was well set up Capo, with sufficient controversy to precipitate an epic drama of apolyton proportions. Loved it.
