Any Carthaginians reading this get in contact with me and we'll discuss terms for your travel back to your own time. Security measures these days are getting pretty tight, so I'll just take a few pictures and write a story and send you on your way (home, of course).

94. Civilization 3 will ruin your life - AGAIN! (it says it in the video damnit!)
95. You'll get the urge to complain about things that don't really deserve complaining about because the game is so damn good in the ways that really matter, and since you just feel like being social after your 5 hour (minimum) sessions you decide forum posting is the best way to do it.
96. You'll start insisting that oceans be bluer and colors in general more pastel-shaded. Mud is such an ugly shade of brown - with our technology, we'll make it look better!

97. Because there are enough megalomaniacs in this world already!

[Pyrodrew]

98. You are still playing Civ2 & now a hermit cut off from all forms of communication with society... except Civ2 multiplayer, where you insist you really are Caesar of the Romans.

99. You're havent finished all the Civ 2 scenarios you want to, and the (reputed ) absence of a decent scenario editor both gives you an excuse not to buy yet, and promises several more months of life for the Civ 2 scenario community

100. You have a 4 year old PC (which cant be upgraded sufficiently thanks to its "proprietary architecture" - oops, that was a dumb purchase) and you're not planning on buying a new one for several months, by which time this whole MP/scenario/bug/xpack thing should have worked itself out, so why not wait?

101. Because you want to wait for the Xpack to come out, and then buy the "combo pack", hopefully at a nice discount. meanwhile there's civ2 scenarios, other games, and BTW, the rest of life

102. You like camels, or Elvis, or both.

103. You like diplomacy wonders (Marco Polo's Embassy, UN) that actually do something.

104. You're too busy making a Lord Of The Rings costume for the premier. December 19th, baby!

[FALVES]

105) Because you actually still can't live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in front of your computer. (almost there, though...)

a more realistic list

10. I want to play games not modify them
9. At least Civ2 is playable without a patch
8. my computer has an nVidia chipset
7. I dont like to play games where about a dozen feartures dont work properly
6. I was already burnt with CTP, why go through it all over
5. my computer is ONLY 1.4Ghz, so I'll have to upgrade to play huge maps
4. my PC doesnt have 1.7Gb RAM to compensated for the memory leaks
3. I dont like replaying the last 5 hours due to corrupt saved games
2. I like using software that doesnt crash all the time.
1. I should not have to pay a major company to be their beta tester

116. If you tend to fall asleep on your keyboarddddddddddffhfdjkdfljlgjlgjfkjsdfjghjgrio (Wha... I am awake)
117. If you tend to fall asleep while listening to the sound of birds chirping.
118. If you enjoy sleeping
119. If you like lists to stay sorted after you move your mouse so you can actually scroll and see the rest of the list.
120. If you don't enjoy searching for that elusive barbarian that managed to sneak onto your railsystem and subsiquently wipeout near 1/3 of your colonies in one turn.
121. If you don't live in an alternate universe where cruise missles wipeout entire armies while neither planes nor artillery can

122. Cheese. Everything is funny when it's 5 o'clock in the morning!

[Skanky Burns]

123. If you prefer not to be fed to the lawyers after modding a game...

[Crom]

124. You stop listening to people unless they call you by your new real name Queen Cleopatra ( which is a shame as you are 1. not female 2. Not a queen and 3. The nearest you've been to Egypt is Putney).

Hi there!
No need to send me back - I'm quite happy with this day and age. Carthage lives!

125. Corruption levels that could teach the average Congolese custom officer a thing or two...
126. Using your one Leader to build the Forbidden Palace at a newly discovered continent that you're developing only to have it razed to the ground a few turns later

(I know, I should've moved the normal palace instead)

[greggbert]

127) Because you are the only person on earth who still thinks black and white is fun.
128) Because you can't play as Mulla Mohammed Omar
129) Because you think minesweeper has more replay value
130) Because it did not come free with your HP Pavillion on QVC, so it can't be worth playing

[siredgar]

131. Because you're busy posting replies on Apolyton and talking about what needs to be fixed.

132. Because you don't want to spend all your time trying to get the perfect player starting locations on a real world map, instead of actually playing the game.

[Travathian]

133) You have carpel tunnel syndrom in both your wrists and haven't mastered using the mouse with your foot.
