What does LHC stand for? I don't see it on the list

It refers to a series of games called the Lonely Hearts Club.

Lonely Hearts Club I believe.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see the second page.

LHC should = Large Hadron Collider
Now that would make a nice wonder...
maybe some free tech or extra beakers, but a 0.001% chance to wipe out the entire map, uninstall the game and format your hard drive

How about if the LHC were perhaps the last wonder? Requires superconductors & fusion. Provides 2 free engineers & 2 free scientists, makes all labs research 25% more. Production cost equal to that of Three Gorges Dam. The failure chance may be a default 0.01% (10 times likelier to fail than what you suggested) but maybe that makes the game an automatic loss when failing (no need for HD failure or the like). That would be pretty useful in a game with a good amount of future techs (i.e. Next War mod).

BTW, why aren't "BTW" or "ASAP" included in the accronym list? They're widely used enough IMO.

I think he was being sarcastic.....

Cause they're not Civ Acronyms.

Edit: Wait: "Commonly Used Acronyms in the Civ Coummunity", I guess you're right. :goobjob:

It (my post) was a pretty crappy joke, don't worry about it.
