Welcome New Members

[philthypower36]

hey everyone iam new to the forum but i have been trolling around before. I first bought civ 3 in a 9.99 bin at walmart, and honestly best money ever spent. entertained me more than my xbox for years (i did the math like 6) i was still playing it until like 2 years ago. I bought all the expansions and hooked my dad and we played online together for a while, it was truly awesome. I never purchased civ 4 becouse my computer at the time sucked and it was not worth the new 550 dollar investment. Well recently i got a new laptop to play SWTOR and i realized that not only can i play civ 4 i could play the brandnew civ 5. So two days ago i went and bought it and i love it. My endless nights playing my civilization to ultimate glory were back and i loved everyminute of it!

One problem... I suck on the new version, i want help mastrering this game and becoming lord of civ once again... lol so i will be a newb at civ 5 for awhile

a little about my civ exp: fav civ: England, Celts or America. I usually play on largest map possible. I also gravitate torwards playing on "Earth" as i love the realisticness of it. Well anyways see u arounf the forums and happy times civing out

Hi new to Civfanatics but been playing civ since 94.

[Migmar]

Hmmm, registered in Feb 2006, but finally made my first post yesterday and the forum software asked me to write here as well...

Played Civ I on a friend's Amiga, didn't have a computer during the Civ II era, finally got around buying my own PC slightly after Civ III was released. Civ IV and V both purchased and played on release day. Right now enthusiastic about getting to build an army of Finnish Hakkapeliittas in Gods&Kings.

Can't really become a real Civ Fanatic though, being afraid to fire up Civ since I know doing that will mean doing nothing else for a couple of days...

Just a side note - why is this in the Civ5 Forums? Ah, some of us still enjoy Pre-Civ4 games.

On the topic: I am not quite sure if I can be counted as a "new" member. Fact is, I've been missing for around three and a half years and a lot has changed - one new game, lot of new members, lot of inactive ones (including deceased ones - so sad to hear about Spacer One's and Stormrage's passings, Stormy was the guy that made me feel welcomed to these boards the previous time).

As I said, I was active here before, but I've never been one of THE members, just one of those ignorant, annoying teens that can benefit greatly from being here; sadly I don't think the boards had many benefits from my stay.

I've returned to Civilization 3 half an year ago, and I've been wandering the CivFanatics again ever since. I see some old members still posting (ah, I enjoyed reading Plotinus' Theologian Q&A, and I'm happy to see Heretic Cata still here.), I see some new guys I enjoy. I see that Civ3 modding is still alive, though not as it used to be. So I've decided to return.

For those of you asking for my previous user name, I won't give it, for now. I'm still a little bit ashamed from my previous infantile behaviour.

For those of you asking if the boards will benefit from me this time - I really hope so. I have some things in mind for Civ3, and we'll live to see if life will let me finish them.

On a side note - I enjoy linguistics, although I'm quite ashamed that I know only two languages. If there are other members, interested in those topics, send me a PM/e-mail.

Cheers, guys!

Wow, I didn't know those two members have died...and I've been active since 2007! That's pretty sad

On a brighter note, welcome aboard everyone! New members are always appreciated!

Hello all,

Long-time lurker, first time poster.

Loving Civ5 (w/ G+K) on my Mac.

This seems like a nice place to be...

[salone]

Much the same as everyone else, big fan of ciV!

[Bryaxis]

Howdy all,

I'm a longtime fan of the Civ series, dating back to the original. I'm currently putting Gods & Kings through its paces, and mucking around with the XML along the way.

[TwinSwords]

Hello everybody. Looks like a cool site!

[Muscu]

Hello!
French guy, 28 years old, working in IT.

I'm new here, and new to the games as well.
I had never played a Civ game before last week, but watching some trailers/gameplay vids for G&K and listening to some friends, I decided to try it (got it and all the previous DLC).
And now, here I am, totally addicted to the game, spending hours on it, playing until 3 am when I'm working at 8.

When I read some posts here, I understand I will have to try Civ IV as well.

[eisforeccentric]

Hello! Long-time lurker. I've played Civ IV before, but I just picked up Civ V and the forums have really been helping me out.

[Prophet Skeram]

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, but not new to Civ, have been playing quite a bit of Civ 2 and Civ 4 before picking up Civ 5 + G&Ks !

I'm unfortunately not a big theorycrafter (not good enough at the maths ^^), but I like talking about the "meta" aspect of games a lot, and of course, always enjoy discussion various aspects of the games I play.

Have been lurking around here for a week or so, and I've found enough interesting and promising threads, that I decided I wanted to become an active part of this community.

I usually take part in forums quite a bit, so you might see some of my posts sooner rather than later. ;-)

Until then, cya guys, let's tackle some interesting topics !

Well, who shot the sheriff?

You mean, who shot the Prime Minister?

Well, all the cameras were turned off !!! And, of course, it was pure coincidence that they were turned off just that day as it was pure coincidence that some other cameras were turned off on some other places right in time where some other assassinations took place.
And they said the very same day, in just an hour or two after he was shot, that some suburb gang did it.
And of course, everyone believe in that. Especially courts. Even (two) policemen who witnessed in their testimony that the first accused were miles far from the place of shooting were later prosecuted for perjury.

Hey guys, been lurking for a while and figured it was time to say hi. I've just started playing Civ4 again after a long time away and I'm really glad I found this forum because I want to get good at it.

I've been reading many War Academy articles and watching LPs and my plan is to start posting up some of my own games. They won't be great games, at least not to start with, so I apologize in advance for all the epic blunders I'm about to make. But I'd like to document my own process of growing from a player who squeaks out Noble wins into a player who competes at the highest levels. Maybe others can follow.

Thanks so much, everyone, for making this forum such a fantastic resource! I hope I can do my part to contribute!

Welcome to CFC, everyone!

[AbenHumeya]

Hey everyone. Been hanging around for a good bit, and finally decided to register what with having devoted increasing amounts of time to Civ V now.

[Denkt]

I decided to join this forum after lurking in it for about 5 years. I have and play many games including some of the civ games, mostly civ 5.
