more reasons that you've been playing too much

[taipei_lad]

@Choxorn: I plead guilty yet again.

My name is Desertsnow and I'm a Civ-addict . . .

(Support group) Hi, Desertsnow!

3589: You drive by a farm, and wonder why you don't see a 100-foot tall Worker thumping a hoe at the ground for three more turns.
3590: You marvel at how America can put 70-some aircraft on a carrier, when you know bloody well they can only take four.
3591: You think real-world America must be playing at Chieftan level, because it has such a huge tech advantage.
3592: You don't understand why your city, whose citizens enjoy a happy, comfortable life, with all luxuries available, steadfastly refuses to hold a 'We Love The King Day'.
3593: You develop a pathalogical mistrust of anyone from England, because the sneak-attacked you TWICE in previous games.

Edit: Thought of another one.

3594: You're sitting in Math class, and you wonder when you'll be able to build Catapults.

 

[Sashie VII]

3595: You opened your lecture notes at 11pm for your test in two days and ended up completing a new civ scenario by 12.30 am, which you played until 9 in the morning before you realized what you were doing

 

[choxorn]

3596: Your username has "civ" in it :cough: civrules :cough: civthingy :cough: civjunkie :cough:

 

[Sashie VII]

3597: While writing an essay on geological soil classification in an exam, your mind just can't shake off the images of grasslands,tundras,plains,flood plain..

i even miswrote "food bonus" instead of mineral content

 

[choxorn]

3598: You backstab one of the backstabbing AI (like the Zulu)
3599:You have ever had enough ICBM's to destroy the Civ 3 world- and it's a huge map.
3600: The AI retaliates by launching 30+ ICBM's at you, all of which are intercepted by your SDI! Oh great and powerful RNG gods!!!!!!

 

[choxorn]

Okay, more clues:

3601: You look for the real world civ 3 editor so you can change your A/D/M to endless 9's (you can do this in the editor)
3602: A spearman beats a Modern Armor in the real world.
3603: You disappear for long periods of time so you can kick Shaka's ass.

 

[Sashie VII]

3604: For your kids' bedtime, you read them stories like "Scouting Sid", "Finally Ready For Regent", "Dutch Destruction"....

 

[TimBentley]

3605: Your kids get upset when FRFR doesn't have an ending, so you read them the SG version (by the gang of fourish).

 

[choxorn]

3606: You think Modern Armors take a year to move up mountains.
3607: You wonder why Egypt and Greece still exist, because they were conquered by Rome (and Macedonia) in Ancient times.

 

[Sashie VII]

3605: Your kids get upset when FRFR doesn't have an ending, so you read them the SG version (by the gang of fourish).

3608: Your spouse approve these 'unique' bedtime stories since the kids actually get to see you (you've been too busy with civ)

 

[Matto the Hun]

3609: You figure with all that grain in the Great Pyramids, there must be a drive up window or something like that attached to them somewhere, cause dang! you're hungry!

 

[Sashie VII]

3609: You figure with all that grain in the Great Pyramids, there must be a drive up window or something like that attached to them somewhere, cause dang! you're hungry!

3610: Then you discover there isn't, so you start planning a high-tech break in and get some partners to help.

 

[Sashie VII]

3610: Then you discover there isn't, so you start planning a high-tech break in and get some partners to help

3611: You actually made it, and was disappointed to see no grains anywhere.

 

[Matto the Hun]

3611: You actually made it, and was disappointed to see no grains anywhere.

3612: You also discover that mummies are crunchy and taste like chicken! [this makes your citizens happy somehow, generating a "We Love the Mummy-Jerky Eating King Day" in all your cities.... who knew!?]

 

[Sashie VII]

3612: You also discover that mummies are crunchy and taste like chicken! [this makes your citizens happy somehow, generating a "We Love the Mummy-Jerky Eating King Day" in all your cities.... who knew!?]

3613: And the celebration lasted until you ran out of mummies, at which point your people turned you into one so that they could continue celebrating and elected the Foreign Advisor to replace you.

 

[Pentium]

3614: All your base are belong to Civ.

 

[Sashie VII]

I didn't get that Pentium.

 

[Pentium]

I didn't get that Pentium.

What makes you think I did?

"All your base are belong to us" is a known mistranslation that appears when you lose a game and other leaders say things to you. It's one of the Easter eggs in Civ3.

 

[Sashie VII]

Ah, I see.. Really should read the thread through sometimes..

 

[Sashie VII]

3615: You know every easter egg in civ 3 by heart.
