    When it has monopolized your "free" time so much that when you are "forced" to do something different that was such a drag, and you ENJOY it!

        - When you walk into someone else's house, you wait for the military advisor to prompt whether to "Install a new governor" or "raze".

        - When you get out the whip when you want people living with you to hurry their tasks in the house, but fear that you might kill two people in the process.

        - When you get into a fight with someone, kick their @$$, and demand all their money, $20 per turn, all their technology and their house in exchange for a peace treaty.

        - When you grab a spear and try to destroy a moving car with it. Or go to the nearest army base and challenge the troops there to send a tank after you, so you can kill it with your spear.

        - When everyone around you starts to look like Sid himself.

          When your kids think you are a game designer because they see you "working" on the computer so often.

              When you try to irrigate your fridge when it's empty

              When your girlfriend tells you she's gonna leave you because you play to much civ, you tell her to take her empty threats somewhere else!

                    All these were funny except Sir Ralph's. His was entirely reasonable.

                      You've read too much in the forums when you fearlessly attack infantry with your tank but get scared when attacking spearmen (has happened to me many times!)

                        Your dreams are filled with images of little men chopping down jungle.

                        You tell your wife it will take 12 turns to mow the backyard.

                        You tell your boss that productivity will quadruple with democracy and moveable parts.

                        The wheels on your chair no longer roll

                        Your bladder bursts and you die

                            When you make sure there is no break in the road between your house and the supermarket, and then are baffled by the lack of food in your fridge.

                              You go out and buy Alpha Centauri off the discount rack at Electronics Boutique, and wonder what took you so long.

                                You begin to look like that awful picture of Elizabeth because you haven't slept in days...and you're male.
