You remember posting in this thread twice...

[Vlad Antlerkov]

... you remember this thread having been done three times before.

[Mr. President]

Like there are any original threads around these days? Sixty thousand Middle East threads, a hundred and fifty-four thousand and ten "Civ3 is pathetic" threads, and this is the one you point out?

You Know You Have Played SMAC Too Long When.....

you join the smac demo game

(ya had to see that one coming...)

[Clear Skies]

...you start wondering if that toadstool over there is going to start spawning native life.

If you fall in love with a girl looking remotely like Deirdre. (She is nice in RL, sigh)

[Kassiopeia]

Adalbertus: And with any luck, she's got a Scottish accent as well?

I haven't played SMAC enough. Despite Miriam, I still find red hair attractive.

Btw, wasn't a redhaired individual considered a witch or otherwise collaborating with the dark forces in the Middle Ages? So Miriam's hair colour must be poking fun at this... and red hair is considered to be a subliminal sign of dominance, how appropriate for her.

Although in Twilight of the Mind the biatch has gone snow-white...

Newcommer Eh?. This has been around serveral times.

[Adalbertus]

Kass: No, a French (and brown eyes, but I prefer them anyway, and a lack of interest in me which I definitely don't prefer ).

I don't bother to look in current English translations of the Bible, but I think one may translate the hair colour of David to red (others translate to blonde). And certainly even the most crappy laser gun in Miriam's arsenal would have been taken as witchcraft in the Middle Ages.

BUMP!

You know you have played SMAC too long when...

....you lock the door to your room, and when someone knocks and asks what the heck you're doing there, you answer; "Please don't disturb me. I'm ascending to transcedence"

LOL that reminds me of a dream I had about two weeks after playing SMAC (This is btw)

I dreamt I was at a farm (never been to a farm in my life, so this dream is unusual for me) and I was sitting in the stable, trying SO HARD to ascend to transcendence! I just sat there crying my eyes out trying to ascend. Well, then I thought of something.

I can't remember exactly how, but I brought a menu up, clicked on Scenario editor, activated it, and enabled the ascent to transcendence victory. Afterwards, I turned into a big ball and began to float. Slow music began to play and people were crying, and then the dream ended.

So you know when you hav eplayed SMAC too long when you begin dreaming of transcendence.

[Anodyne]

Heh, I've often had dreams or dreamlike-states when I'm about to fall asleep where I can only move in the 8 general directions

(this is too, btw ) Your dream of sitting in a farm trying to ascend reminds me (in a "mixing games with reality"-sort of way) of a friend of mine IRL who skipped one of his Finnish classes, and when the teacher asked him about it later;
Teacher: Where were you yesterday?
He: Home
Teacher: Why?
He: I ran out of mana
Teacher: What?
He: I ran out of mana
Teacher: ...okay (goes away)


...and in order to not to make this post :


You know you've played SMAC too long when...

...You're always quite suspicious when walking outside at autumn time, with red leaves on the ground. In fact, you're very suspicious around anything red on the ground.

[Clear Skies]

You know you've played SMAC too long when:

You start dreaming about being a member of a Cybernetic probe team infiltrating a Hive base (yes, it's happened...)
When you hear about starving nations you wonder why they don't just launch some Sky Hydroponics Pods
When your phoneline goes down you blame sunspots and start stapling everyone in sight
