He speaks the truth. That was me, and I'de like to apolgize to Thunderfall for that
I believed that it was for real I hope you can understand
Birdjaguar said:
I beg you, bard of noble heart,
Remember mercy's greater part,
And do not cast to freezing hell
We mods who plotted e'er so well.
Our sin was small, and can't compare
To traitors three who dangle there,
Condemn'd for ever to be ground
By Satan's teeth with fearsome sound.
The mods sought only to amuse,
With quip and jest, those who enthuse
For CFC and 'polyton.
Consider well, was that so wrong?
Deceitful though our ploy appears,
It brought much laughter 'mid the tears,
And prov'd, through soul's endarken'd night,
How much the members love the site.
Look what the CFC bard now has said:
It's a hard task we mods are at.
A replying verse is what he needs
to counterbalance our evil deeds.
And so it was said and thusly done
instantly the distrust is gone.
Even when poetry is not our art,
We do it for the rhyming old
lockstep

Congratulations to the staff of both Civfanatics and Apolyton for this excellent hoax! 
(I was on the verge of believing it ... without the "charges for GOTM" stuff I would have sworn this is true.)
And now, back to Poly ...

A poem in English
Is not really my business
Rhyming in non-native language
Is quite a catch!
Being fooled is no fun
Yet do not grab the gun
Or try another aid
If you took the bait
Did we really misbehave?
It was done in good faith
I hope you will forgive us
And eventually let a giggle pass
These two big hyves
Have their own lives
A marriage is out of the question
It would cause congestion

Quite the threadjack, moderators.

The irony is there's a new poem thread over at CPC...

went down just as I made a post. you can blame me.
doesn't seem too serious. I hope.
Or are you getting a littel paranoid.
Perhaps some people would like to see us squirm at the thought of our Site going away.
I don't know what I would do if Poly went away. Even though I post here, now, it doesn't feel like home like that does. That being said, I can see less and less posters in OTF. Eventually it will dwindle and be like some other forums I used to post at. Less and less interesting threads to post in. Maybe one or two posts a day.
I suppose I would move somewhere else like here. But I'm a little too spammy for this place. I'd get restricted. I've been real careful so far. But it's annoying having to carefully watch what I post.
speaking of, this post is getting off topic. But what more is there to talk about regarding the original theme? It's not happening. Some people got upset, others didn't. Some people found it funny, others went about their daily business. Life goes on.

Explosion!
I swear I didn't do it
Hope it's nothing, anyway is there any point in keeping this thread open still? It's wildly OT now.
Eh, I say let it hit 1000 then close it.
I'm sorry that I fooled you,
It wasn't very nice.
It was just a bit I had to do
To add a little spice.
Me writing poetry in English
Ok, here goes:
A challenge from our resident bard
Oh my, this is going to be hard
So far ahead he is in wisdom and years,
thinking about it makes me feel wet befind the ears
So superior is Birdjaguar's postcount
Just look, 10 000! -what an amount
When he woke last Sunday morning
there was great uproar, all without warning
CFC and 'poly were going to merge
And the new site of OT and NES purge
A pm from Birdjaguar wanting to know
what's going on, what's this show
And I had to tell a lie, had to be cruel
not to spoil the joke of April fool
Now we know Civ Junction isn't for real
I wish to bring forward this appeal
Please accept my apology humble
as to the end of this poem I stumble

April 1 was painful pleasure--
The karmic wheel now turns one measure,
To set the flow in reverse
And bring balance back to the universe.
Four lines from Padma I do see
As I dine on Bassett fricassee;
Then from Finland, far and snowy,
16 lines that are quite showy;
Upon a rhyming couplet I had set my due,
But twenty lines! Now I owe you.
And then like loaves and several fishes,
The multitude is served with further riches:
From the Mount (or is it Hill?)
Plotinus posts with scholarly skill
And is furthered followed like marching feet,
With rhymes by Matrix and Rik Meleet;
And so to end this thread's diversion,
I release you all from my poetic version.
The debt is paid for one and all
Even he who is, our Thunderfall;
Isn't that a yearly thing or something?
I remember a few years ago when both 'poly's and CFC's would sometimes crash. Members of each forum would go to the other forum. (then crash that one in the process)

You should be reading
This thread really should be closed. The mirror thread in the NES forum has already been closed by Turner (although there there actually was some stuff that could still be talked about concerning CPC).I swear I didn't do it
Hope it's nothing, anyway is there any point in keeping this thread open still? It's wildly OT now.
Those other threads were closed because we prefer having one discussion thread. There was little difference between the one in the NES forum and this thread. And the thread in the NES forum was devolving to more spam than anything else, which is another reason why it was closed.
And really, if you had an issue with me closing that thread, better to take it up via PM than to risk an infraction for PDMA.
