Hello, I'm new.

[Ilúvatar]

What's up?

Where are you from? how old are you all?

I'm 22, from Europe. I've been playing Civ since 1992, Civ2 since 1996. I hate CTP and got SMAC only short time ago.

Hi!

hmm... won't one of the vets reply here as well? don't you guys grill newbies as much as they do on 'poly?

 

[dreadhead7]

I'm not a vet by any stretch of the imagination, but, there is an official thread where new folks can drop by and announce themselves.<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>

But, welcome! We're by and large a really neat community here. Drop by The Official Civfanatics Arriving Thread, or the What Does Your Name Mean Thread. The vets will come out to give you a nice Howdy.<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/biggrin.gif" border=0>

I'm Dell19 and I'm 16 and from Grantham. Hold on did I just hear you say that you didn't know where Grantham is? Well you should and if you don't, get an atlas...

 

[stormerne]

Hi Ilúvatar. There are a lot of CFC posters in Europe, and many places (like where I live) where a "vet" is exclusively someone who looks after animals!

Hi too to Dell19. Of course I know where Grantham is! I live only 100 miles to the south-east of you.

Hi and welcome to both of you!!!!

I hope that you will enjoy our forum and participate in the discussions!!!

Damn it Stormerne I have hangovers - again!!!

My new girlfriend just told me that hangovers are Gods way of telling people over 20 to slow down, get a family and reproduce!!!
As you might have read between the lines she is one of the few Danes that actually believe in God!!! I just told her that the world wasn't big enough for two of me!!! <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0> Especially the Civ world <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/lol.gif" border=0>

[Dell19]

Wow someone that has actually heard of Grantham!

Most people don't know where it is although they may have driven past it before because the A1 goes straight past. Btw have any of you gone to downtown? Big store that was advertised on Tv awhile ago.

Plus the latest Asda advert was actually using the new store in Grantham (We have practically every single supermarket here

)

and why should I feel insulted by that one?

 

[The Green Destiny]

Dell19, Smile and Laugh because Stormerne knows how to look up any place, although he really does know where Grantham is...

Welcome to both of you, I hope your stay here is long and welcomed.

Dell and Iluvatar, welcome to CFC!

I do hope you do (or have-I haven't checked it yet) drop by the Age FAQ and the What my Name Means threads. They are both buried in this forum somewhere. Keep scrolling down til you find them. Hope you enjoy your visits here as much as I have, and keep posting.
