Do you still Civ?

[rah]

Play an MP game at least once a week. Now I'll have a little more time for it.

[Asher]

Sure, but you keep posting in this thread, expressing your displeasure with the results. You've every right to, of course, but I think it's pretty stupid.

It's a terrific opportunity to take shots at people without being personally insulting.

still fire up civ 2 at least once a week, in fact i may have a game now.

What I like is the fact that this entire thread was created as a passive-aggressive way to prove Asher wrong. Proof positive that, both directly and indirectly, Asher is easily the biggest contributor to posting traffic in the Poly OTF.

I typically play several times/week (CIV-BtS).

I found another game that takes up my gaming time.

But who cares? TBS games are a dying breed, so it's not like the few rabid fans still playing them have any effect on the gaming industry as a whole. If gamers on a gaming site happen to play a game you don't like, wtf does that matter?

You think? TBS was nearly dead a few times in history already, but the formula is so strong there will always pop up some new innovative ones. That TBS games don't cater to the masses is irrelevant in that respect, as long as creative developers keep releasing qualitative games it's not dead in my view.

I only play the monthly Civ 4 tri-league tournament now. That's about 10 hours a month, but I usually finish the game in about 3 sessions.

Ya gotta love a thread where Asher is proved wrong.
But it does reinforce that this is still a CIV site where people that play CIV meet to chat, along with a few ego driven loud mouths. The OT is the main focus inbetween releases.

I agree with the asessment, that Civ is still a site where primarily players meet to talk about the game and that in between releases the OT becomes the focus. I can confirm that with my own experience. I have been on the on-topic forum for a long time, before i even found out about the off-topic. The most likely scenario for that to happen (i dont remember anymore) was the on-topic not providing enough material to read for a coffee and cig to go along with it. Aimless clicking ensued and then i met Asher and WigLaf...

You state that as if its a rare event.

[Asher]

I'm only ever wrong when I overestimate the capabilities of people.

[Kuciwalker]

I play several times per week with friends at school.

[Sprayber]

Did no one come to poly because of SMAC? I never really got into Civ for some reason. I see it there in the bargain bin every now and then I think I might try it again but some other game always catches my eye.

A few days ago, I popped into one of the computer game stores I've been frequenting since forever. They've now entirely eliminated their PC games and sell nothing but console games.

I play 25% BtS and 75% Fall from Heaven 2 mod.
