The worst one is if you are changing government - you miss the choices and its another 7 turns of anarchy.

[War4ever]

no its not...in the same year you can change your govt more than once...very good if you pick the wrong choice...so long as your turn hasn't ended

[Alexander's Horse]

That's only true if you had made a choice off the menu.

If you don't make a choice before the government menu disappears, the revolution button gets greyed out and you're stuck in anarchy for another 7 turns.

Trust me, I've been afk and its happened to me.

Gee... I didn't know that... but I guess it's because I've never not picked a government

[Alexander's Horse]

Beleive me, its not the kind of discovery you want to make

Its happened to me twice now.

I can understand the first time... Heck, I would figure that if I didn't get back in time, I could just change it to what I wanted when I got back...

But letting it happen a second time AFTER knowing...

[War4ever]

From Consul Deitus Dudius (50 B.C.): i must have slept thrru part wheere u pick research - now i am researching banking and I dont rremeber picking that

LOL - that really sucked. In my own self defense it was about 3am on a work nite. Good thinq we playeed with a 5 min timer though. Because when I woke upI ahd been researching banking for 3 turns.

The best was winzity - he sent em an ICQ telling me to turn my speakers up, I presume to wake me up .

BTW, thx dank. I agree, when I'm awake I'm usually not too slow.

I worry about it sometimes when I'm taking a smoke break

It selects the top one on the list (not bad if you need alphabet early but who would fall asleep that early, horrible if you need navigation and you get banking)

Deity dude: LOL i woke up and i had been researching banking for 3 turns and was building all sorts of wierd **** in my cities

It can happen to anyone - you only have to be afk for a few seconds and you're in anarchy till the next ODEO.
