LOL, tell me about it..I always say, oh just a few more turns, or , oh I'll just wait until this happens or that happens..and before I know it my hour has long since passed!

I guess I do not fall in any. I am still playing most of the time, but I am getting burned out. I have just a few more things I want to see and then I will take a break and play some of the others games I have piled up.

If I had more time, I could play A LOT, but with those pesky exams and all, I get restricted!

Of course I'm still addicted to it. I got it only a month ago.

Still a bit addicted but I only have it since July so...
Today I finally got Medieval: Total War so I won't play civ3 in the near future that much anymore.
This is really a game that you can put away for some months and after that you are fully refreshed to start another period of civing.

Still hooked - PTW does count, right?

Spent 15 minutes searching for the 'You know you're addicted to Civ when.." thread to post this and I can't find it. But just pretend this is the right thread, as I HAD to post this.

...when you have a good night out...

[01:01] MasterZen - I met this really cute and really hot girl: girlfriend potential
[01:01] MasterZen - I got her phone, we got a date set for next week... WHEEEE
[01:02] MasterZen - plus, her friend was like all over me all night, it was hilarious

and your explanation...

[01:09] MasterZen - RNG was definitely lucky with me tonight

Yes, I play it at least five times a week, but works gets in the way

talk about reviving an old topic MrWIA

damn funny post though

I voted 1. Still addicted.
And here's something I don't get - what are people that voted "I can't stand it. It's played to death." doing here anyway?
When I hate a game, I don't hang around its forums complaining about how I hate it. Shouldn't they just get a different hobby...?

I still play Civ3 after 2 1/2 years.

I also play SMAC from time to time.

I even play civ2 oT, with the extra stuff lke Fantasy and Sci-Fi worlds.

I've been known to play Civ1 once in a while, whenever I feel like nostalagia and want to revisit the original.


A question, how many of you played Civ1? Or still own a copy of Civ1?

Here's an answer I can identify with.

I would change my screen name to "My Wife Hates Civ" but that is already taken by ANOTHER gentlemen in the same situation.

I had a serious argument with my wife about this recently. Now I try to play when she's not around or paying attnetion. In the past, I used to hide the porno screen behind CNN.com when she walked into my office. Now I'm hiding C3C behind a porno screen when she walks in!!!

The Wife: I redid my office specifically because of this game and put in a comfortable couch and television. The Mrs. is now perfectly content to hang out and read or watch the tube, only making the occasional comment that “My war is too loud” and asking if I could turn it down. It’s a grand arrangement. And all of this happens after the infant - a happy, welcome consumer of my time, but nevertheless, ultimate consumer of it beyond words - is put to bed.

The Game: I still play civ a couple three times a week, but after discovering the Editor, I find myself screwing around with it, and testing my modifications and maps as much as/more than actual playing.

I have to manage my addiction or my work would suffer. So I only allow myself to play Civ on just the weekends and suffer the Monday morning Civ hangover instead of being comatose for the whole work week. My wife has long realized that she is a computer widow probably as result of my previous Civ II and SMAC addictions.

Oh boy....

If I had a wife, I'd ignore her nagging and ignore her complaints when I play any of my computer games.

Remind me not to get a wife.
