Original ones are few and far between. If that's true it's hilarious.

Nah...I gotta admit I allowed myself some artistic freedom on this one. His pronounciation of the word "Far" (dad in Danish) is letter perfect, however.

Lying.

It was still funny though. It would have been more believable if you didn't have such a difficult name.

... if your rank is anything but settler or chieftain

DrSpike · September 4, 2003, 19:06

Most people on the site then.

I almost added [EDIT:] to a paper I was writing yesterday... It would have fit in so well, too

... when you wear shirts from the apolyton store.

... when you refer to yourself mentally by your nick

Also applicable for the "You know you need medical attention..." list.

Speaking of that, MrWhereItsAt's name was in the birthday list yesterday (or was it the day before?). Did we miss that?

Real munchkinism is knowing (without having to look it up I might add) that mithril shirts are actually +4.
+5 shirts are made of adamantite.

You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when you're thinking about Vels EU2 co-operative game more than your own game, even while playing your own game, and it causes you to do something stupid.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ...

.. you run out of witty repartee to put as an end to the "You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when...."

.. you write a witty repartee that actually becomes a circular sentence and want everyone to notice it.

ravagon · September 4, 2003, 23:20

Hey,

BC wrote a witty reparte that became a circular sentence!

Dauphin · September 5, 2003, 01:39

Wow, talk about bizarre coincidences!

That's like people who watch to much sport on the tele. When a situation occurs in real life, they still find themselves waiting for the replay

It's almost a meta-"you know". Classic BC.

You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when you notice that almost every time a poster is proud of his original answer in this thread it is in fact a poor copy of my original wit from one of the previous threads.

Adagio · September 5, 2003, 08:00

... when you know who participates in a thread, before opening the thread, just by looking at the thread title

rah · September 5, 2003, 08:27

When the thread doesn't even have 50 posts yet, and you have 5 of them.

Original wit from the good doctor?

When you have not played civ in over a month, yet it does not have a detrimental effect on your posts.

geeslaka · September 5, 2003, 18:04

shhh.....
Don't let them find out.

...you don't say certain things to people in RL for fear of getting banned.

Harry Seldon · September 15, 2003, 16:06

When you know where the name Apolyton came from. Speaking of which, does anyone know?

Buck Birdseed · September 15, 2003, 16:31

I do.

DrSpike · September 15, 2003, 16:33

Not sure if you are asking seriously or trying to bait someone. In either case I'll bite.

When the 2 sites that existed before Apolyton merged they had to come up with a cunning way to merge the names. One site was started by a certain Greek, and the other was called the Ultimate Civ site. Apolyton is Greek for Ultimate.
