Someone posted this in the 1000 clues thread for civ 5 some I took the liberty of moving it here (I gave him the link he didn't post it here)

545. Sorry Civ 4 story here, but it I'm sure I'll eventually have a similar one here:
You win the trivia contest on your cruise ship because you were the only one to submit the answer of Vienna after the first clue which was 'Once the capital of the Holy Roman Empire'

I guess thats 3013.

Congrats on hitting 3000

3017 A hurricane is coming to your home and you fear it will knock out your power, disabling you from playing civ/posting at CFC.

3018 Since a hurricane is coming, you download the most recent NC games and charge your laptop to hold out until the end.

3019: You hope that "Sandy" will not destroy the fishing boats near New Jersey and Maryland because it would automatically cancel the deal for gems with South Africa Republic

PS. Seriously I hope You guys will be allright and Your families safe, God help You... sincerly. What it is with catastrophes on earth anyway. Why they always have to appear in US or Japan ? Is it an old Indian curse ...

3020: You know how to spell "bureaucracy"

 

[nerdfighter13]

3021: Whenever your teacher mentions a civilization in history class, you think about the differences between what they did in your last game and what they actually did.

 

[SamSniped]

I actually do that

 

[Gzz]

3022 you wonder why the longbow are now obsolete : they can destroy a tank !

As for the first part, catastrophes can happen everywhere. It's even silly that you mention the USA and Japan and then say 'old Indian curse' when India itself often has great catastrophes, they're just not as reported.

As for the second bit, it's easy, one spells it as one says it, here it's "burocracia"

I only mentioned Japan because of the Tsunami waves They get every once in a while, but some tectonic plates movement might be the cause of that. By "Indian curse" I meant Indian=Native American. Nickname "Indian man" was given to Native American people by Columbus who thought that he actually landed in India as originally intended

Anyways it might just be the Hollywood movies but if there would be an meteor on the collision course with Earth You have 99% percent probability it would hit the center of Washington D.C instead of some remote backwater island on the pacific ocean for example Just kidding of course

As for the second bit, it's easy, one spells it as one says it, here it's "burocracia"

Indeed ... how do You know that ?

3023: You buy a generator too small to run your refrigerator, but big enough to charge your laptop, because you can live without food, but not without cIV!

3024: You've run out of coal to run Your power generator so You pick up a shovel and start building makeshift road to the nearest coal mine hoping that it would link the resource directly to Your generator

Oh, so it's linguistics.

I never understood why you didn't change these words, in Portuguese instead of calling both the people from India and the Indigenous natives from elsewhere of 'Indian', you have 'indiano' for the people of India and 'índio/indígena' for the Indigenous natives

Indeed ... how do You know that ?

I'm Portuguese, that's how we say it

 

[jarhead_leif]

3025 After that nuclear disaster happened to Japan, you don't want to risk yourself building those nuclear power plants and use coal plants instead.

I'm Portuguese, that's how we say it

How about "disparar"? Is it Spanish or Portuguese?
I believe one of the galleons in BTS Intro is owned by either Spain or Portugal..
