Would you play Civ if you knew it was implanted with Satanic messages?

My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.

If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts.

Are you Crazy???

Do you really think that making a statement like that is really going to have an impact on Brutal, Expansionist, Warmongers such as Civilization II players. Come on, we live to destroy civs and steal and pillage. The accumulation of wealth and knowledge, and military superiority, with the ultimate prize being human expansion to nearby stars, are the things we live and die for. Some of us die more than others, LOL. To spread our greed, to venture forth to colonize, to grow and multiply uncontrollably, to turn every possible nook and cranny of this planet into cities and railroads and airports and fortresses, with one of two scenarios as the goal.

1. Destroy all other Civilizations.
2. Venture Forth and Infest another Planet in a nearby starsystem.

I think, if there were Satanic verses in it and you proved this to us, it would not sway my desire to continue playing this "Game"! So you have pretty much asked a silly question.

And YES I am a contributing, hardworking, honest, reliable member of society. I really am not a purveyor of pushing idealisms and beliefs on unsuspecting young (and old), impressionable strategy game players. Comments such as yours only serve to degrade the intelligence of the mass majority of individuals.

Also, HOW DARE YOU? Who do you think you are? If we wanted any psychotic, paranoid, dilusioned, people telling us what we should and should not do with our free time, then we would become Communists. Then we could let
undesirables-such as yourself, make our decisions, rule our life, tell us what color underwear to wear, smack our buttes, choose our career, choose our recreation or lack of recreation, everything short of actually breathing for us.

Take your Babbling self and your Satanic messages and go share them with someone who is asking for it!

My personal opinion is that in art you find what you bring with you. You will find what you are looking for. Is it is indisputable that the special resources are arranged in either a "swastika" pattern or in a chess, knight-move pattern. I choose to look at it as a chess pattern and move on. There may or may not be "satanic verses" in Civ, but they don't effect me unless I choose to let them.

lol...of course I would continue to play.With everything I have neglected in order to play,I'm sure I've earned a spot in hell anyhow

[finbar]

Seems to me the special resources are arranged in the sort of pattern you'd get if you ran over Gary Coleman with a truck.

There is no satan or god. So question is irrelevant, and it is silly one anyway. Yep, I am a pagan and proud of it!

[War4ever]

LOL @ finbar.... you hate Gary that much

[johnmcd]

OK Sandy's Gee gee, you got my attention, so spill the beans, if beans there be.
I must say on the Sid Meier is a Nazi topic, I always thought it was a knights move, but if it is a swastika, might it not be that Sid is just a devout Hindu?

I think I'll start a counter thread titled 'cheat code for naked forign policy advisor'.

Personally I would play Civ if it was ultimately responsible for all the evil in the World, destruction of the environment and Sun reporters.

[Hodad]

if the satanic messages would have lowered gameplay, i wouldn't have played it. otherwise, i'm just 14 years old, to hell with 'satanic messages'

It is plain you're just Alexander's horse... and the brains that come with it too.
Who the hell cares about satan?
And that goes to all you capitalist loving, commie hating, blind and ignorant conformists...

[Alexander's Horse]

Look, I'm in danger here The last person who discovered the satanic messages was

[johnmcd]

GOOD, I GOT HIM TOO, NONE MAY KNOW MY SECRET

[finbar]

Sorry, johnmcd, the person A's Horse was writing about was Gary Coleman. And now he's coming after you. To take you on a shopping trip. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

How was the shopping trip, A's Horse?

Finbar, I personally am trying to find a shopping Mecca which will provide me the means to acquire that fine polka dotted bikini which was so delicately modeled by that fine little tart. If you see that bikini in your neverending quest for old videotapes of "Different Strokes" starring- Of course, none other than Gary Coleman, please let me know where I could find that fine bikini. I daydream of my military advisor donning that fine piece!

Always appreciative,,
