Do your politics influence your game?

Sorry about that, don't know what I did.

[Chemical Ollie]

Things I do and enjoy in Civ3 but not in real life:

- Aggressive warmongering
- Treason
- War crimes
- Mass murder
- Ethnical cleansing
- Overthrow the government
- Rasism
- Use of nuclear weapons
- State terrorism
- Rape and plunder (pillaging)
- Blackmail
- Theft
- Use of military force to keep your own citizens calm
- Keeping slaves
- Acting like a pig - Well, ok I sometimes do THAT irl too

[sabrewolf]

good list, olaf

don't forget:
- starving your own population
- giving cities as a "present" to another civ
- selling and buying slaves
- bribing
- bashing on smaller civs.
- steal luxuries
- GENOCIDE

I found I'm just as ruthless when playing Civ as the real politics are. Going to a resource with military, and doing other nasty stuff I strongly detest in the real world. It's shame, though, that there isn't a possibility to play the World Police in Civ3, ie. pleading the end of unnecessary (or very necessary) wars between to civilizations. Only way to help a little civilizations under attack, is to give them money. It would be nice to plea the attacker to stop and even threat them with hostile actions if they don't stop theirs .

isn't there already a gsmoove in this forum? is that some kind of fictional or historical character or group that I've never heard of? I can't imagen a person would be named gsmoove but it could be short for something or something like that. Just curious.

[gsmoove23]

There's another gsmoove?!?!? I thought I was unique. No, its just my stupid name that I use in everything from the first time I ever had to create a username, which of course, was when I was 23. The inspiration was from Smoove B of the Onion if you're interested.
