#BeyondEarthDay

[Lorizael]

Firaxis and Co. are sending out some amusing tweets today with the above hashtag.

Earth may be just a pale blue dot, but if you conquer it, it's your pale blue dot.

Don't just protect the Earth, merge with its latent consciousness.

Sure, that miasma is killing you, but what are you doing to the miasma?

You also have a chance to win this poster...



...if you retweet this tweet or like this post on Facebook and give the best explanation of The Great Mistake.

Aeson has the best explanation -the Civ5 release- but they won't like it...

[Lorizael]

I can assure you they're already received that suggestion.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

twitter sucks.

That's only 10% of the characters you're allowed to use, gribbler. Also, let's talk about CivBE. There's some pretty lively discussion happening at that other civ site.

The competition has ended ... no winners announced yet that I can see.

[Lorizael]

Looks like @Jubafisher won.

Any idea what the post was? Just a retweet?

He seems to post to his twitter feed about once per second so I'm not reading through the history to find it ...

[Lorizael]

Yeah, it was just a retweet. And boy did I waste a lot of time figuring that out. I think the contest on Facebook is separate. They also require Facebook users to be creative, which sounds like discrimination of some sort to me.

They'll discuss anything no matter how trivial.
