Now=April fools day? Hmmm...The announcement looks serious enough, though...The Announcement said:“We are seizing on the opportunity to combine the extensive resources of both Apolyton and CivFanatics that have been cultivated for many years”, said Quick when asked to comment. “Some may ask why we are taking this significant step now. To them I say, why not now?”
This is a really really bad sign, unless Rik is in on the joke too in a really serious way.
