Finally, gotten rid of Civ3!!!

I told my wife today I'll play "one more game after I finish the one I'm on," and then I'll put the disk away until January. If CIV III works like CIV II did, I'll fall into a comfortable 3-binge-a-year pattern over the next several years...

Of course, that all goes out the window if there's a Regent or Monarch GOTM!
 
I uninstalled Civ3 almost 10 months ago and haven't played it since. However every time I visit CivFanatics I get an urge to play some Civ3! I deliberately do not clean up my hard disk so that there is not enough space to reinstall Civ3 and only this keeps me from reinstalling it! However in December I'll be getting a new computer, so I guess I'll won't able to resists any longer. :(
 
I kind of rotate the games. I keep them on, play one for a while and then go to another. I have been playing Civ for a while, but will soon go back to Battlefield 1942/Desert Combat. Sims 2 is on its way.

I was completely addicted to Ultima Online for 2.5 years, played it constantly, stayed up all night. I finally sold my account and uninstalled. I am glad they made the stupid changes they did to the game, to help keep my interest from returning. That was a very addictive game.

One thing to always bear in mind and to know is that the games should never take precedence over sex. If they do, get help.
 
That's funny, cuz your mistress Catherine thinks you're a wuss, and that you're nothing more then a peasant farm hand. Joan said she's going to turn your whole world pink.

I told them you would be back with a vengeance, but I don't know what good it will do - Ghandi's stolen most of your money.

Wifey-poo made me remove CivII a while ago. She hated how much time I spent playing. Civilization was Satan in her eyes.

She's in the travel biz, and had a month-long trip in Kenya/Tanzania coming up, so I snuck CivIII onto the system. One night, the week before she left, I came home from work and couldn't find her, not in the garden, not in the kitchen, nowhere. Then the worst sound imaginable came from the computer room:

"HOW DO I BUILD MORE SETTLERS?!"

I didn't get to play before because she hated it, now I don't get to play because she loves it! I can't win.
 
Heh, heh... I forgotten I'd posted that. You know, my wife doesn't especially dislike my CIV habit, but I can't get her interested enough to play, either. I think I'd pass out if she asked me how to build settlers!

I'm actually still playing right now -- the Emporer level GOTM looked doable, but I'm not doing well and it's dragging on and on and on..... I'm looking foreward to January!

buy a second cd and a second computer. That'l help. ;)
 
I normaly play civ a few weeks at a time get bored or get a new game get into that for a while, but when I finis that game THE icon is stil on the desktop and I think, ah just one small game, ya right. :D
 
sims 2 is a good idea.
i have bought it and it's really funny.
it comes in 4 discs,the install takes about 20-30 minutes.
 
Truly sad, but I know what makes you spent all those hours in the night playing the game. We all need to see that one city or resource come within our grasp, without which we can't get to sleep.
 
i got bored with civ a couple days ago so i played age of mythology for a while now back to civ its irresistable
 
I get bored with civ 3 in a month,then I play something mindless like call of duty and after a few months I return to civ :)
When I think about it this game should be called Crackization 3
 
I have not played civ3 since I uninstalled it from my pc. I have not come here much either. What I cannot believe is that my thread is still on the top page. Maybe quitting is a really hot topic right now. I am into SimCity 4 these days. But SimCity gets boring more rapidly. I am not about to play civ again, not till Civ4 come out. But hold out folks, don't quit.
Talking about difficulty of quitting, I was working in the dinning hall back in my old college with my dream girl. She asked me to go out for a ciggerete, which a week ago she told me she's quitting. So I asked: "Why, I thought you quit?" She replied with classic beautiful smirk on her face: "I quit quitting, because quitting is for quitters, and I am not one of them!"
I never hald problem with quitting, including quitting civ3, and quitting her.
Oh yeah, don't quit, keep this game alive and let's hope for civ4.
