Where Were you When BNW was Announced

[in the now]

my civ playing buddy walked into my room and said "guess effing what" he told me about poland, and the known facts at the time, and i was excited to say the least

 

[Talcove]

I was searching the civipedia because I had forgotten what some unique units did.

 

[Bechhold]

In my bed, asleep.

Who is JFK? I'm Canadian.

Wow. Really? I'm Canadian and I know who JFK is. Anyway, JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) was the 35th president of the United States of America and Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of assassinating him.

I was on vacation in Quebec, I haven't checked civfanatics in a few days (been lurking for a few years now) and suddenly I see BRAVE NEW WORLD on the front page.

I love the way you phrased that

That just had to be sarcasm, pretty much everyone knows about JFK.

Ontopic: I was probably still somewhere in Namibia. Meh I miss those times.

 

[JFD]

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

NZ schools don't teach about American history, but anyway:

//facetious-ism

The famous saying is "Where were you when JFK was shot?"

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.

Fortunately, it didn't stop Venice from getting in

If you can specifically remember the moment that you learned about BNW, you really need to get a life or a wife, preferably both.

(ducks and runs for cover)

 

[anandus]

I know exactly where I was when BNW was announced:

I was on a Civ-LAN, playing Civ

 

[blackcatatonic]

Probably teaching a class.

I didn't find out that it had been announced for several weeks - I was very sceptical about the whole 'One World' thing so I didn't give it much thought. I think I only saw the announcement in late March.

I have had a wife and they are overrated, although for some reason I seem spend alot of effort seeking another one. (LOL) .

Back on topic, probably walking sometime between two and three (NZDT) checking my phone for the umteenth time (thanks Menzies, mate ! ) for the One World announcement.

Of course if I had a wife, I wouldn't been allowed to do this or ......

[blackcatatonic]

Really? I've heard husbands are overrated

 

[RealHuhn]

I was on my space trip to the moon. Cost me 1 million dollars but I had to read civfanatics on my phone. Oh well, my buddy took some pictures.

 

[Bonci]

I think I saw it on facebook.
At that time I wasn't aware of the "One world" thing, or at least I didn't feel it was true

So I wasn't checking regularly the civ5 main forum, mostly civ5 modding and RFC

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I was either having an operation on my heart or I was recovering from it.

 

[jddods]

Thats my my ex says, and of course she is entirely correct.

[RohirrimElf]

Probably on civfanatics. And soon afterwards grabbing a cool drink to celebrate as i normally do on those moments.

 

[ekat2468]

I was playing civ, when one of my steam friends was like:

Steam Friend: "Have you heard the news?"
Me: "No"
Steam Friend: "The next expansion has been announced, Brave New World"

*Pauses civ and runs off to civfanatics as quick as is possible"

 

[bdporter]

I was doing what I did ever since the whole "One World" thing...wake up, get out of bed, and check CivFanatics.
