Turn posted around 3 hours ago? Sorry for the delay in my turns update. You know what guys? How'd about we get to know one another better since we are going to be in this game for quite some time.

Just introduce yourself and your interests... nothing fancy... include your real name too if you feel like it...

I'll start...

Hello,

My real name is Martin (as most of you should already know ) I'm a 20 year old student studying computer science at Monash University in Melbourne Australia. My interests include playing computer games(mostly strategy games... actually mostly civ games nowadays) and kung fu. I like pizza and I like watching the simpsons very much! Next person please

ps I'm thinking of getting SMAC. Anyone have any opinions on this game?

Um..my name is Ed as most know. I live in SW Florida. 23 years old. I like computers (a lot) and I work at a Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse. I feel I don't know the details of the game like most, so I don't plan on winning, but love the stratagy and interaction with other Civ's. I am married and have a 6mnth old boy.

Hi everbody.

I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Just outside of toronto. I'm 35 years old and self-employed. My interest's and hobbies are computers, strategy games, reading, cross- country skiing, mountain biking and classical guitar. I've havent been playing civ2 and ctp for that long, so I'm no expert at them. I'm learning as I go. And the more I play the more I enjoy these games, especially ctp. I don't play against the ai very much and would rather play with people instead.

I have tried to play smac and didn't really like it, no really good reason. Just didn't like it. Im not a big sci-fi fan.

Turn sent to RobM...

RobM> Do you work from home and if you do how do you prevent yourself from playing with games when you're working?

DuckHunter> Congrats Ed! What's the little bundle of joy's name?

DON> Yeah I'd rather play any game against humans too. However I believe that if a game wants to enhance the single player element then they have got to make believable AI characters. Now SMAC probably isn't that revolutionary in terms of diplomacy it is a step in the right direction.

I think another problem with SMAC is that it could be too complex for a lot of people. Put that together with an advance chart that is not too intuitive and that would drive many people away easily. I've only played the SMAC Alien Crossfire demo so from what I've seen the game is pretty good... but I'd like to get more opinions before I put my money down.

Frazer> LOL! I was planning on keeping the Queen but to be honest I don't really care. How does the rest of UK feel about the royal family?

BTW how do you keep fit, drink beer and play computer games at the same time?

[Robm]

I do work at home, but it isn't my employment. At home it is called chores , and gaming has been known to interfere on occassion.

For income I work for The Boeing Company.
