      I have senority and over 120 hrs vacation to use,
      I already said Apolyton. And I have no shame in my choice.

      Anytime I really get into a game (whether it be a Civ TBS or a RPG), I rarely post here until I'm done. I kind of a have a single track mind, and it's difficult for me to do both. Because even if I tell myself only to hang around here for 20 minutes, that never seems to happen. I'll see a whole bunch of interesting threads, and then it will be an hour and a half. And I only get about 3 hours before and 3 hours after work to play games. If I'm here for 1.5 hours, that leaves 1.5 hours. Which really isn't enough time to even get into the game. Hell, just the first turn on a scenario such as WW2 pacific on Civ3 takes 45 minutes.

      What's more important? Civ4 or Apolyton?

        I'll just stop playing all the other games I usually play to get more time for Civ4
        This space is empty... or is it?

          I'm just lucky. I'm a sailor, so I won't sacrifice anything. Six months on sea with Civ 4 seems a hell of fun. But seriously it's scary becouse of the addictivnes of the game. Just like in the previev...

            I generally hate TV and most movies, so this is how I spend my time. At work and at home, I'm very productive...though I must admit that I find home improvement projects really tedious. So that's my answer:

            I'm sacrificing my house's resale value.

              If there is someone here that will sacrifice something for Civ4 that person is Yin. My stomach surely sympathizes with yours, Yin.
              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                This thread has opened my mind! ever since civ4 was announced, i've been sacrifying time to a false cause: i've addictively been reading apolyton-threads about civ4 where actually, deep inside, i was seeking to play civ4, whose impossibility i was simply unwilling to accept. what a fool i was! but this is over now. i will stay away from apolyton and devote all my time to better, just causes, like my friends and my studies. and actual civ4-games in november!

                so long suckers!

                      exactly how do you play civ4 out at sea? Are you in the navy?

                      I was in the U.S. navy. I admit, one of the reasons why I got out was because I hated sacrificing playing computer games when I went out to sea. Although now days laptops are good enough you could probably use a laptop out at sea. In fact I could have bought a laptop back in 1996. I believe they had them then. But they were quite expensive.

                      And another reason is I never had time to play out at sea. I worked 12 to 15 hours a day 7 days a week. And I'm the type of person that needs 7 hours of sleep a night, or I'm nonfunctional. So even if I had a laptop out at sea, I wouldn't have much time to play it.

                        Alex: I was thinking about that, too, but Markos will never send a copy!

                          I have seen this spoken of elsewhere, why might Yin be eating a CivIV box?

                            Well, as much of a fanatic as I most certainly am, I can honestly say that I am too conscientious about my work to sacrifice that in order to play Civ4. All other vestiges of a social life outside of work? Yeah, almost certainly. At least until I have played it at least a hundred times or so-then I think I will start communicating with the human race once more.

                            Yours,

                              In short, he made a bet with Markos that if Civ IV was better than Civ III, he would eat a Civ IV box (or at least part of it). And post pics or a video of him eating it

                                Dis: Nope. I'm in the civil. I'm a third officer on a freighter. I work 8 hours a day. So that leaves me plenty of time to play Civ4. Of coz, if there isn't any storm on the horizon. Laptop is my main computer, so thats not a problem. Thanks to Inmarsat , I can connect to the internet once in a while (expensive thou). Funny thing is that on my last contract we've sailed to Baltimore, and two members of crew bought themselves laptops just to experience "gaming on the waves". We have so much fun playin together not only Civ.
