[Brazen Assumptions and Rampant Speculation]

[Tarmac]

[Proclaim that unless the game is playable on all computers, regardless of age/power, that the game will be a failure]{optional: claim to still be playing Civ 1 on a Commodore 128, and that it's a much better game then ciV will ever be}

 

[Lone Wolf]

[Claim that Sid sold out long ago and that the series was in permanent decline since Civ1]

 

[Serutan]

[Claim that the Civ series peaked with Civ3, and went into free fall with Civ 4 due to 3D graphics]

[Further claim Civ5 will be more eye candy, and will offer nothing of substance to real Civ fans]

 

[Virote_Considon]

[insist Palestine is playable and mutter borderline-racist diatribe about Israel]

[Kid myself that Palestine won't be in the game and make judgments of your character based on this kidding myself]

 

[Tlalynet]

[Claim that it should have a 256 bit support, claim those that merely want 64 bit support because of their operating systems limits are holding technology back, blame them for several natural disasters]

[Agree that civ has been in decline since Civ I, despite having only ever played it twice and thinking its meh]

 

[r_rolo1]

[Complain about border trolling threads that mock of speculative threads and state that 99% of this sub-forum can't be anything else besides speculation because there is little intel. And state that Shaefer confirmed the one-military-unit-per-tile in a interview to a Danish magazine ]

 

[Sirian]

Funny.

Possibly a candidate for "you know you're anticipating Civ5 too much when", but still funny.

[Tarmac]

[insist Palestine is playable and mutter borderline-racist diatribe about Israel]

[Loudly & angrily agree with above poster. Immediately put forth a list of demands that include Yasser Arafat be the leader, the UU be the suicide bomber, and all other leaders simply be known as "infidels".]

 

[OscarWildebeest]

[Make extremely detailed point, unrelated to the rest of the thread, about a tiny aspect of the game (eg industrial era music) that only three other people care about.]

 

[Dale]

[Go totally Off Topic and issue greet to Sirian and ask how the family is doing]

 

[eireksten]

[Make assumptions on Firaxis' dev cycle based on how your last group assignment in school went, and complain that they should have been focusing more on some mechanic that wasn't apparent in the screenshots]

[Explain how ridiculously easy it is to make a game 100 times better than Civ 5 obviously will be, and refer to how some other game is exactly what you would like Civ 5 to be.]

[Write angrily about how other people don't see the seriousness of these issues.]

 

[AlphaShard]

[Make wild hyperbole declaration that this is the best thread on the entire internet]

 

[Tlalynet]

[Arbitrarily call for the end of disagreements, indirectly insult people on all sides of precived arguments, end with a call that 'we all just want the game to be as good as it can be']

 

[Wolfwood]

[Ignore everything that everyone else has said - mainly because you cannot be bothered to read any of the posts - and respond only on the basis of how you interpreted the title of the thread. Add in some wild, brazen speculation of your own. Make a reference to Civilization I. Formulate your opinions as if they were the only possible truth.]

 

[Dale]

[Make totally unrelated generic comment in bad Engrish such as "I this love, hope I to see more future" and change my sig line to include a hyperlink to http://viagrabluepills.com]

 

[Shiggs713]

[claim proudly that "all your base are belong to us!"]

 

[SamuraiProgramr]

[Claim that the screen shots clearly display 12 and 16 units per hex]

[Aggressively ignore remarks about clearly being one unit because each type has the same number of figures]

[Actively whine about hurt feelings because EVERYONE does not accept my interpretation]

[Float more ideas about how the number of squares on farms and number of cows in pasture have great significance to the economy and religion of the owner]

*

[Burst into incoherent babble when confronted with the idea that religions are not in the game]

[Disappear for 13 days]

[Return with vehemence of how I hate the one unit per hex paradigm]

[Disappear for 7 days]

[Return with vengence of how I love the one unit per hex paradigm]

[Immediately accuse others of having hacked my account and refute everything said since the asterisk above]

[Babble incoherently again]

[Disappear until 3 hours before release when I claim to be prescient by having spent the last 9 months predicting every single feature correctly]

 

[techathon]

[ angerly call the whole lot of you idoys bacause of your misguided notion that civ 5 is an xbox game (rev)] [when called a n00b, argue that you played for 1 week and know everything about civ.] [call entire cummunity a bunch of geeks and never return]

 

[Aussie_Lurker]

TOO FUNNY

[Angrily insist that Civ V will yet again fail to deal with ICS (that's Infinite City Sleaze, you n00bs ), & promise to eat the Civ V box if anyone can prove otherwise!]
