**100% truth right here**

I woke up outside CFC OT, with a massive hangover and a poster named Tekee rummaging in my pockets. I managed to push him off me and hoisted my battered body up by the conveniently placed metal railing. I said where is the way to Civ 4 strategy guides for German civ?
He ignored me and said "come with me Quackers, for all ye kebabs and riches await in the land of milk and honey". For a while I hesistated, but then I gave in and followed him into a bright red door which seemed to suddenly appear in the brick wall on the oppsite side of the alleyway. He led me up a dimly lit winding staircase, muttering under his breath complaining about some Slavic cultural celebration was being cancelled because it occured during black history month.
Eventually we reached the pinnacle of the staircase, he paused and turned to face me, I could smell greasy kebabs and strong vodka on his breath - he tried to swing at me but i said "NO, EXPLETITIVE OFF" and sidestepped him - he fell down the staircase and stopped his whole body became very still.
BANG
Screeching voices and throaty, gutteral laughs in the ominiscent darkness going on and on and on....

I woke suddenly, the laughs and screams became silent. I peered out the corner of my eyes and saw a large group of bow legged, hunch backed, creamy skinned, bug eyed monsters. I almost let out a scream but then I realised, oh, they are just Polish people.
 
Came for Civ III, picked up Civ 4, noticed Forum Games, got a parental ban a couple times, then noticed OT. I've never been the same,
 
I came for Civ4 but as I got more and more interested in politics I decided to take a look in the OT and saw people saying dumb stuff. Naturally I had to call them out.
 
Started posting in the Civ 3 forums, gradually discovered Humour & Jokes, Sports, OT, and the other Colosseum forums and Other Games. Its now where I spend most of my time on CFC.
 
I joined mainly... mainly for I think the World History forum, and mods for Civ4. I mostly lurk though due to not feeling intelligent enough to converse with the people that post here. I lurk here on and off (and the forums in general.) Usually just read the current event threads and such, interesting to see what the folks here have to say. I guess you can tell I'm more of a lurker by my abysmal post count considering I've been a member for nearly 3 years now.

i seriously doubt you are a loaf of bread.
 
I lurked during the late-Civ2 and early Civ3 days, reading tutorials and the like. I actually joined around the time Civ4 was released, and stayed there exclusively.

At some point, I was posting and some guy responded: this is better for OT or the WH forums (I forget which). So I started posting in the other realms of Civfanatics.
 
Sidhe recommended this place a long time ago. I said, "sure, why not (I got nothin else to do)" since we both were always chatting and arguing so much in the Civ 3 multiplayer lobby all the time. If you think you got annoyed by us here, you should have seen us back in the days when Civ 3 came out. We were much worst. lol
 
I probably should have been more clear about this, but by OT I mean all of Colosseum.
 
I originally joined so I could download things for Civilization III, then came to here later. I don't know if that was a good or bad thing. I guess it's probably good for showing how much of an idiot I am at everything.
 
I originally joined for the Civilization 2 forums and to contribute my Civ 2 scenarios and get hints on why certain .gif files wouldn't show up right on my Mac version of the game. Expanded to Civ 3 before I looked further down the forums and a topic caught my eye.

Speaking of which, my 10th year is coming up this November 2!

There's an initiation ceremony? :p

You didn't do the initiation ceremony?! :eek: Guys, we need to get Linkman226 to Hanoi, 2 palettes of Fosters beer, some pizza paddles and a priest stat!
 
I'm not sure if I'm an OT person or not. I haven't had an initiation yet. But I'll answer anyway.

One day I decided I no longer felt like talking about civilization anymore. So I browsed through the other sections and discovered this place called "Colosseum". A sub-forum of this was called "Off Topic". I then proceeded to post.

There's an initiation ceremony? :p

Can someone explain the downtown meme? :confused:

Do you mean trying to figure out this downtown "meme" is not the initiation ceremony?

I came for II: TOT, joined for V, and landed in OT.
 
Originally a Civ3 Custom content creator (Mainly porting things from the AoE:2 & SW:GB engine). Then participated in the Demogame (A succession game played in a multiplayer style). Then fell into OT.
 
Originally came for the forums. I still spend most of my time there. Initially it was to learn more about CivIV and III. Considering how active OT is, it's surprising that nearly 90% came for the forums originally. Maybe not, considering the name of the site.:)
 
I came for the cIV advice, but stayed for the pc.

Also #nes.
 
Found CFC after buying a bargain bin version of Civ2 in the summer of 2001, joined CFC in the lead up to the release of Civ3, got seduced by the lifted skirt and perfumed inner thigh of OT in the lead up to the Iraq war. Nothing better in a forum than debating against a trollable moderator.

Too bad he trolled back and then banned people :lol:

I voted that I came for civ3, but actually I registered in part for OT. I lurked a good 6 months before joining, lurking OT for about 1 or 2.

You hadn't joined when Civ3 came out...

I started lurking after Civ4 came out, and I liked looking at mods, especially CivArmy's. I joined after I had surgery in January at 08, since my school has very limited wheelchair access, and I needed to kill time somehow. My growing interest in Alpha Centauri and the primary elections made CFC a nice fit all around.
