It's been mentioned here before that Osmo Soininvaara, the leader of the Finnish Green Party, is a Civer. I noticed an interesting little snippet in the City magazine, and I thought you'd all be interested as well. I'm translating myself, of course. Here's a picture of Osmo.
Political games
Norway was astounded by a MP playing a game in the midst of a parliamentary session. The Eduskunta's (ie. Finnish parliament's) hardcore gamer is the Greens' Osmo Soininvaara, who played with his laptop in the midst of Finnish Academy's consensus meeting.
"In the long meetings I can catch up with my wandering thoughts through Civilization. The meeting lasted for three days and I managed to finish the game.
Isn't that rude?
Yes and no. The speaker sees he's being noticed. I can listen better when playing.
Do you play according to green values?
Yes, I think so. The warmongers lose. It's good to use a peaceful strategy in the game.
Have you played often in the meetings?
Only a few times.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I'm sure he secretly razes wholes Civilizations, and sadistically giggles everytime he orders his troops to slaughter millions.
Now that would be an original PR for the Greens

What's the betting that he nukes his opponents into submission, then allows global warming to occur and naff up the entire planet before escaping to Alpha Centauri?

He does look very weird...that kind of middle aged man in anorak who still lives with mother look, with that somewhat disturbing inbred appearance that only a Finn can achieve
