Only 2 of the current staff here ever got to talk to Dan the Creator before he vanished,
for the rest of us Dan is a myth, an urban legend,
spoken about in hushed tones around the camp fires late at night, a means to scare new patrons into behaving appropriately,

so here is the Org's Creation Theory

In the beginning was the community,
and Dan saw the community was without form,
Dan said let there be firmament in the midst of the community,
and Dan made the firmament,

and Dan said let all the knowledge within the community be gathered together into the firmament that all may share,
and Dan saw that is was good,
and Dan said let the firmament be called TotalWar.Org,
and it was so.

And Dan saw the need for opposition
the thrust for juxtaposition
of MP and SP
Tech and OT
Yin
Yang
that other thang
and he saw it was good
and it was.
Thus the evening and morning
of the second day.

And Dan said, I like oranges.
So he ate one.

...and then Dan was punished for
spilling his seed upon the rocks..

But Lo, His seed flourished and multiplied
From one, many grew
And there was much rejoycing
Yay

And the years passed,
and the lessor gods of Activision
and the Greater Gods of Creative Assembly
sent upon the masses a new beast
and there was much rejoycing
Yay

and when all was peaceful in the land
a lessor part of the greater masses
went upon the mountains saying
This Beast is for naught,
For it goes hither when it should go thither
and only once it has gone hither,
after the reconciliation has been made
to counter its going hither,
only then does it go thither
But the sons of Dan saw that this was wrong
as did the Greater Gods of Creative Arts
while the lessor gods of Activision paid no heed
so the Greater Gods of Creative Assembly sent mana from the heavens
and the sons of Dan ate the lessor part of the greator masses
And they shared this feast with the greater part of the greater masses
and the masses and the sons of Dan were one again
And there was much rejoycing
Yay

That was beautiful Postino. I give you high marks for good use of hither and thither in a comedic situation. ...a lesser part of the greater masses cracked me up.
