Introduce Yourself!

Hi Everyone!

So I heard that Civ 5 was coming out and ran here (I was quite surprised by the server change... haven't lurked in awhile)

Yes the registration and post count on my stats are correct... Let's just say I am a VERY long time lurker.

I've been playing Civ since good old number 1, am in my late 30's and yes I am female. I live in wonderful sunny southern California..

The question my friends and family always ask me is "Are you still playing that same game?" Makes me laugh, because really, I've been playing the same game for what? 16 years? That's a long time to be playing the same game!

I remember back in the day when Civ II was coming out. I was on CompuServe back than on Game Pub B forum, and that is where Brian Reynolds used to post to get feedback about the game..

@Scrotus:

You don't happen to know LUA and can code in it, do you?

Welcome on board ScrotusMaximus!

Ahoy fellow Civ players. I am a 26 year old programmer from beautiful Detroit, MI. Civilization has been a religious affair for me since the ripe age of 11. Chiming in now for the excitement surrounding Civ 5. Cheers.

Thanks for the offer Robert (or Cybershy as I knew you by), but it doesn't matter. I use this account now and that's OK by me. I will become Prince soon enough.

Hi campm@jor, PM me with some details of your original account which can ensure me that you are indeed him, I can then reset your original account and give you access again.

Welcome back!
Welcome to Quintillus as well, thanks for your help earlier today in the civ3 forum!

You should make all your forum passwords the same like I do so that you never forget them.

I do this too much (including non-forum passwords), so I'm trying a new solution - KeyPass. With that, hopefully I won't find myself duplicating passwords, and most of my passwords (except those that I have to be able to access on any computer, which probably will only include my e-mail) will be a lot stronger. Apolyton is the first site that I'm testing with a much stronger password. So I'll either be impervious to spambots, or dependant on the e-mail password reset feature working.

A short introduction of myself, I'm an American college student and Civ player since 2003, with Civ3 Vanilla and later Conquests. Conquests is still my staple Civ game. I've been in the online Civ community since early 2007, although I remain a near-exclusively offline player.

[campm@jor]

You could do that. But then some passwords require numbers in it or special characters, so you still would not know what is!

Hi, I'm Campm@jor, formerly known as campmajor or Campmajor! Got a problem with old e-mail addresses and fotgotten passwords, so now I'm a settler again.

I live in the Netherlands and am a civ-aholic since civ1.

I had problems playing civ IV, so I sticked with Civ III Conquests. I even enjoyed that, because I think culture was a great addition to civ2. But since I never really played Civ IV I probably don't know what I am missing!

My new PC is about to be delivered, so now I have a few months to play Civ IV before getting to Civ V...

Welcome Taharqa and rotegruetze.

[Taharqa]

I'm a 20-year-old college student who is interested in paleontology, anthropology, writing, and drawing. I don't play Civ as much as I used to, but I am looking forward to Civ 5! I hope it is really as moddable as claimed!

[rotegruetze]

Hey guys, I've been lurking these forums for years, stealing your valuable information and strategies, but I've never really had anything worthwhile to contribute.

I'm 23 years old, male, molecular scientist. Despite my German screen name, I come from way down south in the land of cotton, specifically the great state of Alabama, the Heart of Dixie. Besides video games, my interests and hobbies include cycling, swimming, running, cooking, and gardening.

In the past I played Civ IV daily for hours on end, and I'm looking forward to Civ V, although I probably won't have as much time for it because I have a job now and I'm taking classes at the same time.

Thanks everyone!

He told he's old . Anyway I wouldn't mess with a Texan who bring the same beard as Chuck Norris. He might be a clone of him and could rotate-kick your ass out of the planet :-P.
