I try to hide my addiction from my wife. I go to bed with her and when she falls alseep I go down stairs and play. The dark circles under my eyes and her now frequent bathroom breaks (8 months pregnant) have made this impossible to pull off lately.

But my true sign of addiction...

Have you every been playing on Friday or Saturday night while your drinking. I'm so addicted to civ I'll sit with an open beer and forget to drink it. I've hit rock bottom

But what do you pee in if you have no empties?

(keeping them sorted is tricky sometimes, nothing worse than seeing a bottle out of the corner of your eye, taking a swig and realizing you've just gulped your own urine)

I thought the warm beers were just Corona

@ jimmytrick:

2 have you come to the other side???

about the 'Apo fix': you guys are lucky, I can't get to an 'internet' computer, all it let's me do is email and some very boring intranet stuff

I think I'll play some of the MP, enough to stomp eyesonfight or whatever he calls himself...then I'll quit this sorry game for good.

Do you mean Aeson? or maybe asleepatthewheel?
Aeson would pretty much wipe the floor with anybody here judging by the games I have seen him win.

[notyoueither]

no, he probably means eyesofnight (sp?). I think.

Edit. eyes is a civ2 mp'er

[Capt Dizle]

I have no gripe with Aeson but SP is not MP. I have done enough Mp to know that unless Aeson has MP experience he will have a bigger learning curve than he thinks.

Eyesofright is a big dawg Civ3 MP legend whining about combat randomness spoiling his cheap rush strategy. Sounds worth sharpening the blades for.

Talk about addiction... I'm hosting a party and ran downstairs to see if 1337 finally posted his Roman game!!

I have been away from my computer for 5 days and am starting to think of civ all the time. It is almost like a drug, I need to play now. Anyone else suffer from this?

Reading stories about the situation in the mideast vis a vis Iraq makes me want to fire up the computer and start some wars.

If you really want help, you will need to start slowly. Try some games of tetris to wean yourself from Civ. After that move on to some board games and then eventually to simple card games. By that time you should have your addiction beat.

I'd be suprised if he does.

I also have the same problems as you guys, I have summer holiday now so it often happens to me that I dont come outside anymore for more than a week.

[Cookie Monster]

Just another voice chipping in to say I share the same addiction with you all.

"Hi my name is Haupt. Dietrich and I'm addicted to Civ3." "I take my days one day at a time." "Live and let live."

Arrian:

I can relate to waking in the morning promising myself that when I get home I'll go to bed. Never could keep promises to myself.

Very addictive. Only it keeps me from sleep sometimes. Once I didnt go to the mall with my friends
