Hello.
I'm an Apolyton NESer, and I took a look over here because of Thlayli's thread. In response to a few things, such as:
I already tried involving Apolyton, when nobody else did, and nobody lifted a single finger to help.
I'm not sure on what Apolyton's community status is
Apolyton's NES community is not quite dead, but unfortunately it is in no position to be very involved in your projects, wiki or otherwise. There have been a grand total of two NESes active recently; one hasn't gotten any posts for a week or so, which makes it look like mine is the only one active. By active, I mean it gets updated around once a month (at the very best of times). I have been able to retain around 3-4 players for more than a year, but can't really ever increase past that because there are really only that many people active in the Stories/Diplomacy forum during any one period of time.
It seems to me that you are seriously overestimating the "community" that exists at present. There's me (Cyclotron), Micha, Nimitz, appleciders, Foolish Icarus, and bipolarbear, but at virtually no time are all these people present and posting together.
I'll check out the community you have here; I've avoided CFC for a long time just because I had no interest in monitoring two Civ sites at once, but I might join in. I'd invite you to Apolyton to help us out, but at present there's really not much of interest there; I've got a space or two open in HRE NES, but we're running a bit slow right now.
