Imagine that for some insane reason your income was totally disconnected from what you do. Your income would be calculated based on your current expected income if you had made good career choices. It would also be adjusted for living costs, so moving to a developing country would not help. Your...

During the summer vacation I was close to a nudist beach. Then I was thinking: That’s something I haven’t tried before. Well, there have to be a first time for everything, so I went in, took off my clothes and enjoyed a nice time on the beach. This experience changed my views on nudism...

I have previously been deluded to think that owning a car is useful, but having borrowed a car for several weeks has opened my eyes. Now I am thinking hard to figure out the answer to the big question: What should I use it for? I tried to drive to work, but that was not a good idea. Public...

After more than two years of astonishing succsess of the civ1 GOTM, it might be time to agree on a defined set of rules. Please use this thread to discuss what kind of cheats and exploits should be banned and allowed for the civ1 GOTMs in the future. I'll start with defining some possible...

I thought it would be fun to share some of our dreams. Let’s stick to dreams we have dreamt while asleep. Daydreams don’t count:p I’ll start with a disturbing dream I had recently. I dreamt that I was very hungry and really wanted to eat some meat. Unfortunately I had...

I am writing an operating instruction, and have problems finding the correct English word. I want to write something like ”Push the green button when the red lamp...” and then I need a word for when the lamp starts to emit light. My dictionary suggests ”catches fire”, but that can’t be right...

Today it is one year since camelman posted the first GOTM thread. Let's all celebrate this huge event. Happy anniversary everyone! :beer:

You know those annoying codes that are printed on the cover or manual which you are required to type in when installing the software because the evil software developers wants to demonstrate that they own your soul and can make you do all kinds of stupid things for no real reason? :mad: Why...

I like the civ1 battle system because it is very simple but still gives many complex possibilities. One of the best features in civ1 is that all the units in a stack die if attacked and the strongest unit lose the battle. Because of this large armies need large areas to avoid stacking. This...

Why do most people get so upset about parents who kill their newborn baby? Isn’t it their baby? Shouldn’t people be allowed to do whatever they want with what is rightfully theirs? Of course one have to consider the baby as well, but a newborn baby has no idea about what laws govern the society...

I just started a thread that was closed. Those mods were amazingly quick today:lol: Since the mods didn’t like my thread I would like to edit in an appology for posting it, and I would prefer to remove the original content. Of course the mods must be respected. But I was not allowed to edit...

I have been thinking about this sex business. I don’t like deceiving women into believing I am interested in them when I am only interested in their bodies. So I was thinking: why can’t I just be honest and use a prostitute instead? But then there are those moral considerations...

I think we need a GOTM hall of fame, based on all the latest GOTM results. I have decided to use olympic points for this purpose. I.e. 7 points to the winner, 5 to second place, and 4,3,2,1 for 3rd to 6th place. If more than one person get the same total score, the one with the highest score...

What is the matter with civ1 players? Why can’t we get anything done in this forum? A while ago a Game Of The Month thread was started, and lots of posters seemed interested, but when the game was released only one played the game. After a later resurrection a few people did indeed play the...

The poll asks a simple question. Who do you respect most or least, and why?

Are you dreaming about finding someone to love of all your heart and live together with happily ever after? If so, what are you doing to find the true love of your life?

How important are your friends to you? How far would you be willing to go to help your best friend if you had to? Let’s say that if you failed to do it, there would be no way to restore your friendship. Edit: The question is not why you have to do it, but if you would do it when the...

Why do we need a law against marriage between close relatives? (With close relatives, I mean very close, i.e. siblings, parents, grandparents and so on). Isn’t it about time to abolish this ancient law? And in case you voted no in the poll, how distant relatives does the couple have to be...

When quoting posts you reply to in this forum, how much of it should be put in the quote? I like to keep the quotes short. I try to put in just enough of the original post for the reader to understand what I am replying to and nothing more. That often implies to crop sentences. Apparently...
