btw, what is the Eternal China Syndrome ?

As Far As I Know, it relates to the Civilization model (every version) where the winner will usually be the player who develop his/her civ lasting forever and ending as big as possible, a role in real world only China can fit.

Lemmy, you forgot to change the colors, you user of default style.

What is the difference between this, this, this and this?

Go away CIV newbs! We were once like you, and are ashamed..

Then where (if not here) the newbies like me should be? I'm not a newbie in Civgames, only at this forum.

Even if they have played civ for long it would be hard to understand them if they haven't discussed civ with anyone.

Sounds good to start with.

[Gramphos]

You should split up the list in names and non-names

[Lemmy]

AOL = America On-line, i think.

[aaglo]

BTW, what does AOL mean? I've seen it a couple of times...

Suggestions:
SOB - Son of Babylon
XP - experience
SBT - sad but true
IMR - irrigation, mining and roads (respect CIV 1)
