One of Two Faces of gOd Intervenes!

MarkG · July 30, 2002, 14:37

In a dramatic note to it's people, gOd (not to be confused with God), intervened today in the matters of Apolytonia.

"It iZ really a Zhame", MarkG noted. "After liZtening to their prayerZ We have created thiZ beautifull world for our people. And what to we get in return? Not a Zingle newzupdate on what they do with their world!"

gOd formed Apolytonia a few weeks ago and the nation seems to be going rather well, but only a single ceremony called "newZupdate" has been made so far. In another occasion, MarkG had to come down himself to take a look on the elections held two weeks ago.

"We even opened The Zecret Book Of pollZ", DanQ the other face of gOd, said with a sigh. "They prayed for help with their electionZ and we reZponded inZtantly. If thiZ keepZ going we are Zeriously thinking of packing our bagZ and going to Zee our folks on Alpha Centauri!" DanQ continued as MarkG threatened "and you can forget those regiZtration spellz!"

President Ninot was not availiable for comment. His secretary gave some excuse about "having to format his 5 1/4 diskettes"

In brief - we beat the Americans, and we're going for France now. We rocked the house.

Perhaps with our newly constructed temple, we can channel our prayers better. Send me info on this news update, and I will make them. What do you need? Can the paper suffice? (just the news section?) Check my sig for a link to the paper.

Bow and Scrape. Bow and Scrape.

Yes. UnOrthOdOx is your mortal for this job.

MarkG · July 30, 2002, 14:53

"Zee the Civ2 and Civ3 newZarchiveZ", said the voice of MarkG

UnOrthOdOx · July 30, 2002, 15:10

Forgive this humble mortal, oh mighty gOd, but I meant, how do I submit them. Directly to you via PM, or is there some other ritual that is needed? And how often would you like this done?

Nikolai · July 30, 2002, 15:49

Oh, mighty gOd! I'll humbly apologize on the behalf of all members of Apolytonia! If we get a little time, I'm sure we can do something!

UnOrthOdOx · July 30, 2002, 16:26

Do not fear fellow citizens, I shall travel to the temple and pray to gOd as often as needed to appease them. I already write the news anyway, just need to tell them that in my prayers. (Plus get some advertising for my paper...)

Some bananas as an offertory would help ? We are quite short of gold and other amenities.

disorganizer · July 30, 2002, 17:37

Wow! They even can speak directly with their creator!
We only have prohets to speak to... :-(

GodKing · July 30, 2002, 18:16

Our creator is a kind and generious one. He shows mercy when called for, and his wrath is great when the need arises. Some day we all look forward to his world visit. We shall supply him with all the bananas, beer and other amenities he requires. Until that time, we work to keep his generosity great and his anger low. Peace.

Kramerman · July 30, 2002, 20:18

I HAVE FAILED YOU, ALMIGHTY ONE.
*stays concious not to llok directly at the being of light and always to llok down*
I will give ALL I have in banans to appease these, gOds.

Not only will we shower him with bananas and beer, but our gOd would most likely appreciate virgin women (or men, Im not exactly sure which way our gOds swing) to either be sacrificed or placed in a dark cave of his liking. Im sure Skywalker could provide the bananas, I can provide the the whor... er.... virgins from my pimp enterprise. I dunno who will bring the beer though, any volunteers?

Nikolai · July 31, 2002, 07:16

Wouldn't the president be a good option?

GodKing · July 31, 2002, 09:36

Kman -
If all that is required is to supply him with beer, I shall be more than happy to do so.

GK

ps, nice avatar - see you made the 500 mark.

Our SMC dares insult gOd and raise his anger against our fair nation! It is clear, if we loose the next war, the SMC's blasphemy is to blame, and we wil have to sacrefice him to the ALMIGHTY gOd!

Inverse Icarus · July 31, 2002, 17:18

markos would love it if you sacrificed me.

Spiffor · July 31, 2002, 17:46

Alright, I'll do the newZupdate :

The war against America is won ! We hit the Amercians hard and swiftly, so that they had no choice but to accept a humiliating peace deal !
Now, our glorious Apolytonia arose t a worldpower, while it was a mere dot on the map previously. Our empire is now 9 cities big, and matches the most developed empires.
Now that the war against America is over, we're preparing war against France, which should happen in 20 turns or so. We are massively building warriors, in order to give them swords once we get Iron from our easternmost city.
Here's an overview of our empire :

Last newZupdate was filled with political heath, but things have cooled down : parties are almost silent now, even if the Foreign Minister election is currently occuring.
By the same token, the "constitutional rage" of last week has now abated : we now have more threads abut the game than our procedures.
However, the constitutional rage has been productive : we have now a judicial system charged to enforce our Law. Our justices are Captain, Epistax, Jdjdjd, NotYouEither and Trip.

We got visitors from Phoenatica, the DemoGame hosted on Civfanatics. We have friendly relationships so far, and even opened an embassy there. Their technology is amazing, with "railroads" and "computers", but quite confusing for us Apolytonians.

We are looking forward to the future, which we know is bright. Our glorious empire will be the most powerful and enlightened Civ the world will ever know, despite our jungly origins.

Excelent job Spiffor.

MarkG · August 2, 2002, 08:45

gOd would like to thank it'Z humble followerZ UnOrthOdOx and Zpiffor for their work, deZpite the fact that they are not part of the PrieZtminiZtration

gOd now expectZ regular weekly newZupdateZ

UnOrthOdOx · August 2, 2002, 08:54

Spiffor, you want to work together and form a news team or something? Looks like we got a mix and match of your update here and the one I pm'd.

Spiffor · August 2, 2002, 10:51

Unortho :
Actually, I did it because nobody seemed to want to, not because I wanted to do it. If you'd like to make weekly newsupdates, there's no problem. If it bothers you to make a newsupdate per week, we could share the burden, and each one writes a newsupdate every 2 weeks.

UnOrthOdOx · August 2, 2002, 10:58

What about a thread each week? I missed some stuff you thought was important and vice versa. Perhaps a thread that anyone can add what they feel would be best?

Spiffor · August 2, 2002, 11:04

Excellent idea Unortho

UnOrthOdOx · August 2, 2002, 11:09

OK, I can make one each Saturday, not counting tomorrow,
include my report, then the public can add to it. And MarkG can pull out what he wants. A weekly sojourn to the temple won't bee all that bad. Now if my home of Termina only had one...
