1. You are already waiting in front of your local computer store to run in and get the game once it comes out.
2. You stake out Firaxis headquarters.
3. You mod Civ3, and change all of the title screens and graphics to trick yourself into believe it's Civ4.
4. You succeed in tricking yourself that it's Civ4.
5. You start a Civ4 succession game, and say that you will add a start location and save once the game comes out.

13. You find yourself thinking: " Yes, this time I'm sure they'll include videos and music when I've completed a Great Wonder ". You poor lame sucker, haven't you learned yet ? You'll have to spend yet another 40 dollars on the new add on, oh but wait, they'll address that issue in the second 50 dollar add on...you're still going to pay through your nose anyway 'cause you're a sucker for Civ, aren't you addict ?
14. You naively think that the game will have no flaws or bugs in the epic or mp mode because you're sure that this time they will have carried out extensive tests before release, right ? Wrong, you sucker !! You'll probably find that AI Armies are broken, yet again :rolleyes:

, and a misterious pop up will appear when you're just about to begin you're first war after waiting for two hours: "Runtime error 12789, file 100101 cannot be found, restart game" Send error report ? Y/N ? :lol:

15. You constantly refresh the firaxis website waiting for the "Civ 4 released" sentence so you can rush to your nearest games seller and find out, it's not in yet

Abaddon · Jan 20, 2005

16. You design Civ4 the boardgame

Drakan · Jan 20, 2005

17. You've already pre-ordered the game at Amazon, 'cause you wanna be the first one to play that Friday (you'll skip work that same day saying you have this terrible flu or deadly ebola and cough out loudly over the line to your boss) and be the first to post some cool strategy at CFC. You find yourself thinking: "Yeah I'll teach all them big boys back at CFC, mine is going to be the FIRST clever strategy article for Civ4, I'll join the War Academy once and for all, SirPleb go bite the dust ! Errm, all this once I get past Chieftain in Civ3 that is; yeah I'll irrigate every tile in despotism and automatize every worker on sight " :rolleyes:

Disclaimer: my max respect for the aforementioned player.

18. You find yourself thinking that when Civ4 comes out you'll ditch your cell phone and buy a brown new multigadget one just to play it while you're at the bus stop or in the sub. "Hah, take that Caesar, that's for stealing my furs and dyes"; on the meantime two unseen uniformed men will approach you from behind (RoP abuse) carrying a new white strait jacket for the likes of you.

19. You apply for the "Forum Reader" job at Firaxis. (Hint: there is no such job opening listed on their website).

HAHA! After posting that, I scanned back through the thread and found a user with more than 5000 posts: Gogf, our stalwart host for this very thread. :lol:

So let's add:

21. If you start threads in the Civ4 Ideas forum...

22. If your CFC signature says anything about Civ4...

23. If you buy four sieves and number each one, just so you can be the first to claim that you own a copy of "Sieve Four".

24. If when you attempt to discuss Sid Meier, you subconsciously make a Freudian Slip and call him Civ Meier.

25. Two Words: PINK DOT. :crazyeye:
