You might be a civ addict if...

[Ben Williams]

Anyone know where I can find the "you might be a civ addict when" threads?

[Alex]

your best bet would the old Civ3 General-Archive and Civ3 PTW-Archive forums...

But I could find one in the Civ3 General-Archive for you:

Well Alex, that thread isn't accepting any new posts (or maybe I just tried at a busy time).

I was listening to the radio several months ago and they were disscussing the Chinese Space Mission. I thought to myself, "The Chinese have built the Apollo Program".

Then, the radio host says something like, "The Chinese are nothing if not Industrious." I immediately thought, "Yeah, and Militaristic, but fortunately they have a low Aggression Level."

Another sign that you might be a Civ Addict:

When the family pet leaps from one's lap to another and you yell-out, 'Culture Flip'. And you are either happy or sad depending upon the direction of the 'leap'.

... if you remember the seemingly infinite number of previous threads

... if you said "there, said it first this time! hah!" after saying that

[vmxa1]

If you only play huge maps with max civs and want to know how to get bigger maps and more civs.

[flipside]

If you have crushed up pure civ, boiled it down to it's distilled state and then slammed that baby home.

When instead of droping nukes in Hiroshima you drop one in washingont. wait that's civ2 sorry

You've becom a civ addict when each time in the morning when you wake up you make plan on taking berlin, but fears that the zulu will atack you and that china will lunch another spaceship. When you realise that you don't have an entire army at your command and empire at your command and you don't live 6000 years, but instead you have meere house and live for 70 years :S wicked

You know you're an addict when you're posting on this site on Christmas Day!

You know you're an addict when you're posting on this site, period. You'll NEVER escape.

This probably belongs in off topic, but it seems to fit.

You're an addict to forums in general if when you dream your dreams come across in the form of posts in a forum...

Instead of a normal dream, you see a forum where everyone in the dream is represented by nicknames and you follow the dream by reading the posts...


i need to unplug i think

You know your an addict when you keep files and directories organized on the work file server with business-like titles such as: "Network Infrastructure Proposal" or "Call Center Organization Chart" but the files are really Civilization ideas that you plan on posting later when you get home.

Well Alex, that thread isn't accepting any new posts (or maybe I just tried at a busy time).

Yes, it is in the archive, that's why it doesn't accept new posts.

But let's revive this thing...

You're addicted to civ when...

- your wife tells you "the dinner is ready" and you groan something like "damn this domestic advisor";

- you've heard the news about Saddam Hussein captured and you thought "hmm, he must have a settler somewhere";

- you think that the most efficient way of getting your lunch readily available to you is by whipping the chef;

- you think that Gandhi was a SOB and a treacherous bastard.

[Kuciwalker]

- you have no problems with war for oil, or iron, or silk...

[TheArsenal]

- you try to click on screen shots as if it were an actual game in play.


... not that I've ever done that.
