Where Were you When BNW was Announced

[HeraldtheGreat]

I only bring this up because I remember vividly where I was when I first heard the news: I was crawling into bed after throwing up in the toilet.

I also think it would be a funny idea to make it one of those really memorable moments.

 

[BAshley]

I was browsing CivFanatics.

 

[ptoss1]

In my mind. Wondering about what horrible choices they would pick for the next expansion.

Assyria and Venice come to mind.

 

[Petiscator]

I just got home from school and decided to check CivFanatics once more to see if they finally anounced Civilization 5 One World, and after lunch, I turned on my computer and bam. They didn't. They anounced BRAND NEW world

 

[God of Kings]

I had a hiatus from Civ V until I stumbled upon BNW a few days after it was first announced.

I was vacationing on some red hot soil far, far away

Red hot soil? I'm curious

 

[Petiscator]

Red hot soil? I'm curious

I'm guessing Tatooine

 

[otaman1]

I'm guessing Tatooine

Actually, it was Malibu, CA, USA.

 

[JFD]

I was learning that JFK had been shot.

 

[drubell]

In my filthy hovel in 1932.

 

[Princeofnigeria]

I was in the royal palace of Nigeria, planning a heist when I learned of it.

I had just crawled out of bed, with sleep still in my eyes, popped onto Reddit and saw the headline announcing the xpack, then clicked on the announcement article, then tried and failed to make out Casimir from his murky leaderscreen, then went to school. It was a good day.

I was learning that JFK had been shot.

And I thought everyone passed high school shouldve known about JFK's assassination ...

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I logged on my computer on that fateful morn a mere three minutes after it was announced. I may have been the first to point out that the siege tower looked Assyrian.

And I thought everyone passed high school shouldve known about JFK's assassination ...

Who is JFK? I'm Canadian.

 

[God of Kings]

Who is JFK? I'm Canadian.

Canadian here as well.

JFK is John F. Kennedy, the president who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

 

[AlpsStranger]

I was on my fat butt wasting time on an internet forum.

They shot JFD? I was aware that there were a lot of people vehemently against Venice being in BNW, but that seems a bit much.
