Anyone still here?

**punches the time clock**

Yep, I'm here, when the server lets me...

I'm one of those people who now has Civ III (long story). Gee, I really wanted to play a dumbed down version of Civ? So far, it's pretty, but a wee tad simplistic, especially for someone who prefers Smac over Civ in the first place! Firaxis, make strategy games for strategists!

*rings counter bell repeatedly*

"Service! Service! How can a guy get any service around here!?"

I must also concur with T-birds analysis of the situation at hand. I'll be bidding my time until a patch or three manages to crawl out of the Firaxis's fiery axis.

That's gotta burn.

LOL

I am here. Also in the CIV3 area. I am fully convinced that I will never, ever get any more work done.

Flubber: I have found CIV3 absolutely addictive. LONG games though. And yes, as expected, the manual does suck. Great game anyway. Vel seems to be beginning work on strategy, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm here, there and under the rock in the corner. . 8 MP games and 1 sp game (yeah, so I'm bored, so what? ).

I decided to wait on the Civ3 to see if it was worth buying. Based on what I've heard so far, I think I'll wait... at least until they get MP. I would rather play MP smax any day than Civ2. I've played Civ2, Civ2:tot... and found this game the only one that is truly addicting to me. *shrug*. What can I say, I LOVE THIS GAME!

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I'm still here, lurking...

Just as soon as I get Civ III, I'll be bolting to the Civ3 forums... after a 42-hour marathon session, of course

[Frankychan]

your friendly neighborhood despot is here as well,

To paraphrase the great Jack Handey:

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world because they would never expect it.

Sounds like something Chairman Yang would say!

[gwillybj]

sounds like a song...

Something I've learned about both SMAC and Apolyton:

You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave...

[Basilisk]

You all keep complaining about the overloaded servers, but I have NEVER had any problems what-so-ever!

[gwillybj]

Hey, Basilisk! Isn't it so much fun running through the halls of Apolyton at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, when everybody else is

[aaglo]

Whaddaya mean? I just got here! And sadly there seems to bo no possibilities of leaving.

... I'm stuck like a fly in tar... dum-di-dum-dum

[Avenoct]

checking in.

Here's Smack's summary of CIV III from a Smac perspective:

"Boy, good thing I have Smac, this stinks!"

-S-

[Admiral]

In a few weeks, all that will be left will be the dedicated SMACed and us lurkers...

[Sprayber]

Well, at some are still here. From what I have heard Civ3 wasnt a big disappointment, but not something to write home to grandma about either. Ill wait until the initial lust of the game is gone and people start giving honest evaluations of the game. I still have a very bad taste of CTP in my mouth.

[Kassiopeia]

My sentiments exactly. And when my comp would require upgrading to run the forsaken thing, buying it is out of question, at least for now.
I'll too see what the patches can salvage.

[Kirnwaffen]

(Looks at date of last post, looks at date on watch)

Oh my...

I still drop in every once in a while, though not like I used to. I'll probably get Civ 3 for Christmas, but somehow I don't think SMAC/X will ever lose its appeal. It would be nice if Firaxis would come back to it to fix some of the bugs though.
