Why dont we have merchandise like {cough-cough} Poly {cough}?

Just curious, as I wouldnt mind owning a CFC coffee mug or two...

i think TF doesn't have the money to start a franchise right now

nah, it doesn't require any capital to start a store like Poly's. I just don't have much time to work on it right now.

Maybe when we get our own server next year we will have a store to help with server cost... :)

Don't forget glow-in-the-dark CFC boxer shorts :D


You remember right, they have to have little fanatics on them and say Civilization Fanatics' Center in bold across the top :D

CFC condoms, in Warlord, King and Deity sizes :P

:lol: @ Sun Tzu

Cool. :cool:
Mugs, t-shirts, screensavers etc. dont take much investment, and if its helping to pay for the site I imagine there will be strong support.

I dont know about the condoms, but I would buy boxers if they had the little civ2 guy on them. :D

Hey, Shaitan had a t-shirt thing going last demogame. Custom T-Shirts! :D

Maybe have tshirts with quotes...
Or, CFC in bold letters. ;)

And for us mods, maybe a mod action text. ;) (along with Gonzo's puppy picture above it)

CFC condoms, in Warlord, King and Deity sizes :P


You forgot Deity + 1 for those who enjoy the extra challenge LOL

And FINALLY, someone agrees with my boxers idea!! WTG JOE!! :D:D

Hmm.. now, where's that puppy picture?

Its in the kinder, gentler, moderator's warning font thread. Towards the end.

I will have some more of my puppy soon. There will be some cake-eating shots of her at her 1st birthday party :)

:cry: My puppy's all grown up :cry:

Oh No!

Wait.... Is that a bad thing or a good thing? :confused: :confused:

Shirt #2. ;)

Falled from my chair and LMAO. I need to grow up a bit...

...does someone actually buy those T-Shirts and mugs? Go figure. :hmmm:

What about chieftain, for beginners? ;)

Yeah, stuff with:

"I'm a CivFanatic" on it. Or "Get Civvish" or "Civilized person"

Or CFC logo...

Just a question: Would it arrive Portugal?!?

...... A Shirt.... With Gonzo's dog on it.....

Strange..... Did I just get a moderater warning?

How about a T-shirt that says "I survived the Off-Topic forum, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt."

How about a T-shirt that says "I survived the Off-Topic forum, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt."
Sure, if you're one of those people who never leaves your house ;)

We could sell Coffie Mugs that would have CivFanatics on with with the choice of the quotes listed in this thread :).

From CivGeneral's Sig
"Never give up, never surrender!" -Shaitan

:lol: That was a quote from a mid 90's movie called galaxy quest :D

I'm sure it's been stated more than that though :)

I agree that coffee mugs would be a great product..perhaps to be bundled w/boxers :D

I wonder what actor said that since I have not seen that movie ;) :).

hehe i don't think anyone would want to buy Chieftan size CFC condoms ;) Thats just embarrasing :-P
See Juize i'm not some mean prick of a mod, i'm quite a nice funny guy although most posters don't think that :(
hehe, i'll be the first to buy the CFC condoms, god knows i need to use them :D lol

I still want a polo shirt, with my display name embroided on :) I believe Matrix made some enquiries into the pricing...

I want CFC trading cards! Each would have the avatar of a CFC poster with their profile and a quote. Moderators would be the rares.

Can you see it? "I have an extra 'Cracker'; I will trade you for a Greadius and 3 farting bobs..."

Tim Allen, who played the captain of the ship.

1) Who would choose the quote?

2) Some posters change avatars so often it would be very difficult to pick which one to use.

3) Can you imagine the legal issues involved? :eek:

4) You just can't get enough of "farting bob," can you?

1. Um, good point.
2. The more they change, the more common cards you'd have... "I got another JoeSpaniel James Bond" "Really, I only have the dog with the helmet, can I trade you?"
3. Good point.
4. I don't know if I will ever "exhaust" that topic...

OOOOO! Trading Cards!!!!!!

That really stinks.

Not to steal your thunder, but I cant wait to see his custom avatar emerge.
As the English say, it should be a real gas.

Bottom's up! :beer:

OOOOOOOOO!

I am so tempted to start a "choose fartingbob's custom avatar" thread. Will a moderator please talk me out of this?

:lol: I think they signed a contract that states that Sultan must mention farting bob in at least every thread. ;) I wouldn't be surprised if the farting bob craze spreads to other forums...:p

EDIT: And here's (http://www.forumplanet.com/strategyplanet/civilization/topic.asp?fid=4338&tid=806967) a link to a good avatar for farting bob, if only animated one's were allowed... (Hint: Look at civjunkie's avatar.)

Dont forget the Civ III Demogame

Apr - Civ 3 Demogame
May - Civ 2 Demogame

I dont know about the GOTM since it occures every month ;).

If you go for the condom idea, how about slogans on the condoms themselves, eg -

"Rodgers builds Colossus"

:)

or -

"Rodgers can no longer support Hanging Gardens"

:)

lol :P your a sick sick man Rodgers

Who's going to mention Longevity???

I'd like to buy a shirt that has the big CFC logo with all the mods autographing it. Hee hee - that would make it priceless and a coverted treasure.

"Tap Lt. 'Killer' M.: answer target newbie question"

"Sacrifice 'moderator warning': remove target poster from the forum permanently"

"I dont know about the GOTM since it occures every month ."

How about the month that it started, originally? That would be awesome.

Cute!

Off Topic Forum

Tap to add one colorless mana to your mana pool

OR

Tap to add one mana of any color to your mana pool
Off Topic Forum does not untap during your next untap phase

The last time I played Magic was during the Fourth Edition era. That was at least three years ago. I'll bet a LOT has happened to the game during that time...

Forum Downtime

Enchantment

During their controller's upkeep, Forum Downtime does 1 damage to each poster in play. Forums do not untap as normal as long as Forum Downtime is in play.


I also stopped playing some time ago, but if this new expansion set "The CFC Forums" would actually be available I would be hooked again in no-time. ;) :)

How about a shirt, "I survived the forum downtime! And lived to tell about it!" :smile:

I have been dying to weigh in on this CCG idea but I've been banned. Here are some creatures:

Newbie 1/1 black creature. Each turn that newbie is in play, put a "Redundant thread token" in play. Treat this token as a 0/1 wall.

Thunderfall: 5/6 red and white legend. The player who controls Thunderfall can play a patch card directly from his or her hand. All moderators get +1/+1.

farting bob: 1/4 black creature. At the end of combat, put a fart token on creatures that block or are blocked by farting bob. Those creatures don't untap during their controllers untap phase. If any player plays a moderator card, destroy all creatures with fart tokens on them.

I could go on, but you get the point. It's good to be back :)

Persistant as ever, aren't you? ;)

Chieftess - Summon Moderator. 3/4 green legend, G: regenerate.
You may play Cheiftess from your hand at any time that anybody mentions farting bob! That player skips their next turn! ;)

And to think, we shortened his recent restriction from 10 to 5 days. What were we thinking. :p
Now what we need is TF to add a farting Bob smilie. :crazyeye:

WOWWWW!!!!!! Great work!!!! I definitely think that should be in the roster!!!

We could add it to existing forum poster smilies, such as:

rmsharpe :p

rodgers :groucho:

Greadius :sleep:

and of course, Sultan Bhargash :crazyeye:

Can someone please enlighten me? Is it just the name that people find humerous, or is there something that I'm missing? Whats so special about farting bob?

farting bob is someone's username here.

AFAIK, this guy's active in the Civ3 forums. The humor is in the name I think; hard to take him seriously when discussing Civ3 concepts and stuff 'cause of the name. ;)

I think this would be the :Sultn'B: smiley... http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads2/xvery_madsmiley.gif

Hmmm... Poster smilies...

Spycatcher :mischief:

Becka :ack:

Lucky :D

CurtSibling :cool:

Narz :king:

Simon Darkshade :evil:

and, of course

Switch625 :rolleyes:

Don't get me started, don't even get me started.

Unlike Brittain and the rest of Europe, where topless women on tv has been the norm for nearly half a century, "fart" was a word you couldn't even say on tv in America until, until, well I think they still don't say it on network tv. And suddenly here comes this young visionary who just decides to call himself... well, it just brings a tear to my eye when I realize how much freer the world is today...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

So, because having our own server (and store) is as a distant prospect as hoping to see a crash-proof MP, it's just going to be a fantasy that is going to pass on from generation to generation?
