      I think it's more like this:

      Dan: Sid, I've my concept update ready, it contains like you asked me the complete AI guide and an explanation about the minor civs. Besides that I dropped some notes about combat and a complete list of all units including their possibilities. Oh, and I've made a cool simulation about the MP style our server will have ! Do you think we should include the 200 MB beta as well, or just the light '100 MB' version ?

      Sid: Hell, wait a minute, that yin26 dude is almost exploding, if we give him some AI info he might cool down again and that'll be a big pitty since I would like it that much to have him collapse about our infallable AI !

      Dan: But I've done my stinky best on it ! You know Sid, I've worked on for 4 complete days to include animated city view in which you can see the workers build up whatever you're constructing, it's sooo coool !

      Sid: Yeah, that might be true, but I just hate those bunch of Apolyton dudes that are always sending in new ideas etc. You know, since Civ has been released back in '91 I've never had an easy moment. Always I had to read through hundreds of emails and so. And that yin dude later came with that sick list of him. I haven't talked to my wife for 4 long weeks because I had to read through those pathatic ideas !

      Dan: But why shouldn't I post an update on the number of civs that'll be in one game ? I've read on the msgboards that they're crying for an answer to that !

      Sid: Good for them ! Let them sleep in worries ! BUWHAHAHA I'll punnish them for their eternal mourning.

      Dan: *crying* but the interactive section in what fans can ask whatever question and our improved AI will generate a perfect answer, to show how good the AI is, and to provide them with info, let me post that one at least on the website !

      Sid: NOOOOOO the defending of our cities is...... uh I mean too much info is no good. It's so funny to read through those threads and to see what kinda pathatic ideas they have about our current developping ! They even think the game is gonna be TBS ! They're soo foolish ! That remembers me we should put an 'Apolyton - NO' sign on the box when we release it !

      Dan: *whiping tears from his face* but what should I do then ?

      Sid: come over here and play another game of Sim Golf with me. That game is SO good !

        No no no. It's more like this.

        Dan says "Yeah just give me one more" to the waitress. Dan then looks over at his wife and says to her "Ahhhh, aren't the Bahamas beautiful. We should stay here for a couple more weeks". Dan's wife says "You know what it's been almost two months since we've been here and I think the kids might be wondering where we're at". Dan says well "We left them a note that told them to just go eat over at the neighbors". Dan's wife "Plus you need to go back to work". Dan says "Oh no, I don't have to work anymore. I'm just waiting until those stupid people at Apolyton figure out that I'm only waiting to update the site until they say sorry to me. As soon as they sorry I'll start posting updates and answering questions on the Civ3 site again.". Dan's wife says "Say sorry for what?" Dan says "They kept on coming up with all these good ideas and it's hurting my feelings. Can't they ever just say, hey good job Dan on Civ3" Dan's wife says "I'm sorry honey". Dan says "It's ok at least I don't have to work". Ring ring ring. Dan answers his cell phone, it's Sid. Sid says "Where've you been Dan?", in an angered voice. Dan says "Well am am I'm at the Bahamas". Sid says "The Bahamas huh. That sounds fun. Maybe the rest of the team and me will go down there. I mean we just pushed the date back on the release for Civ3 so we could have a bunch of parites down at the office. You should have seen it. In one of the parties I got so drunk, well anyways that doesn't matter I won't go into that. I mean we have a couple more months before we need to work on Civ3 again. I mean we can always push back the release date again. We'll all be done there in a couple of days. So see you then." Dan says "Ok bye". Dan's wife says "Who was that?". Dan replies "Oh it's Sid and the gang. I think they're going to come down here soon. So we got another couple of months here." Dan's wife says "Oh that should be fun". Dan says "Yeah it's not like we have anything important to do".
        However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

          Yes, I just turned into a Prince. A good way to do it to, with that long post.

            You could have just got a princess to kiss you, you dirty frog

            Well yeah, it would be nice to have an update. But this is probably what Firaxis are playing at, they are using anticipation in their favour. They see us eager and desperate to find out more about the game, and the more they see this, the more they withhold, perhaps the odd tidbit of information thrown away here and there (eg, Civ3 on W2K, etc).

              Yeah, I guess so.

              (eg, Civ3 on W2K, etc).
              I don't see why they wouldn't make it possible. I can even play Civ2 on W2K.

                See, you guys care too much about the website updates, that's the problem

                If more of you are like me, who couldn't careless if there's a website, then Firaxis would have been tripping over themselves trying to make their site as comprehensive and up-to-date as possible

                  Well, not really. I care more about the game than anything. I just like to hear new stuff about the game.

                    Well, SimGolf info is just as pathetic as Civ3 info. Actually, even more pathetic. Release date - Fall 2001. Do you see a pattern?

                    Rumours say that Civ 3 is going along fine, just like Dino - the team is currently switching between TBS and RPG.... (they discarded card game option).

                      Dan Mahaga and the power of silence...

                      How can Dan ignore so many bait we throw at him?
                      We mentioned him, quote him, pray him, insult him, ignore him...

                      God, how strong is his mind, how good his training of spirit... voice are he's answering a call from Lucas to act as a master Jedi into next Star War movie.

                      Still wondering why he's short of time for updating Civ III site?

                      Best regards, Dan.

                            Sid: Dan, you're not going to tell anybody about Civ 3 MWAHAHAHAHAHA

                            Dam (tied to chair with duct tape over mouth): mmm..mm...MMMM!

                            Sid: leaves building and locks up

                            Dan manages to get the chair to the computer and begins updating the site using only his nose. He gets the duct tape off with his tongue and a corner of the desk and feeds off print-outs of all his e-mail complete with detailed responses.

                                No, no... it is more like this:

                                Dan: Just one more turn!

                                Sid: Dan, those Apolytoners are going to crucify us if we don't update the site!

                                Dan: No... must crush Zulus...
