  • What CEREMONY do you hold while playing Civ?

    Me:


    I love Japanese culture and electronic gadgets so I always play as them.


    My ceremony *sometimes* goes as follow...


    I get my sake porcelain kit. I get a bottle of sake, fill the porcelain urn, heat it, get ready to drink and play

    I Open Encarta encyclopedia, the bible (ebook) and the Quran (ebook).

    During those loooooong waits between turns, I read either articles from Encarta on various civilizations (mostly the ancient ones) or I read the bible or quran. I am not religious though, it's just for culture

    Right now Im studying the Hittite civilization. I will study Japan in dept next and maybe read 50 pages or so of the Quran.


    When I'm not reading stuff between turns, I usually listen to some japanese music (shiina ringo)

        Beltz, you are clearly a very strange person. I approve whole-heartedly, though.

          You sure this doesn't belong in the "you might be addict" thread.

            Hmm, ceremony? How about...open internet, find Dell, order brand new computer that avoids the excessive lag time between turns.

              I think about how my Berserks are going to run all over the Franks and giggle delightedly like a school girl.

                  Me?

                  First I fire up my MP3 player (I have music in Civ 3 disabled, of course). Then I fire up a web browser and open several pages simulatneously (forums, tech news, opions-editorials, tech reviews). Then I fire up Civ 3 and start playing. During the inevitable interminable waits in Civ 3, I flip back to my surfing and message board postings.

                    Don't know if ceremony is quite the word, but I will do a few push-ups and sit-ups. Yes, this is my effort to stay in some kind of shape between the hockey seasons.

                          I talk to myself....give my self reports "foreign advisor" style.

                          "sir the romans have moved two legions and a settler north of Coventry. I belive they may be trying to create a settlment close to the iron deposits there."

                          Or i talk to the other leaders...

                          "Ha. You're halving a laugh you Roman Muppet, Ceasar. If you think England will accept that youve another think comming. And after i gave you Theology for two gold coz i was feelin generous. well forget mister."

                          Dont laugh you know you do it too....plz say you do it too!

                          I also have civs that i just like and hate for no good reason....i hate the byzantines (coz theadora is prettier than Elizabeth and i reckon Liz would be a bit jelous) and i like the Americans coz they always seem a bit hard done to in my games and i detest the carthaginians coz they once declared war on me for no good reason and spoiled a real good game.

                          And the Babylonians...HA i just dont like that hamurabi bloke he rubs me up the wrong way....aint that right

                          yep thats right.

                            I sputter in indignation when the RNG screws me, and chortle with glee when it smiles on me.

                            I occasionally catch myself murmuring "sssssooooon, my preciousssss" while doing a military buildup.

                              haha I bring bad feelings from RL to the game too.

                              If I hate or like a civ in real life, I will threat them accordingly in the game.

                              If a neutral civ pisses me off in the game, I might just hate them in real life too
