See ya, folks

Real life stuff has forced me to take a break from gaming, so I won't be around much for a while. I'm calling it a "hiatus." I know this is nothing to the vast majority, but I've made some friends here, and I felt bad just stopping posting without saying anything. I'll miss this fine community of Civ fans. Hopefully, I'll see you all later when I finish my dissertation.

Oh, and by the way, I got my ass kicked in the recent Deity GOTM. Guess the Quecha rush wasn't such a good idea.

I hope to see you back again and appreciate your efforts.
You pushed civ4 to a new limit especially by showing us how to use the cultural victory on high levels.
A dissertation seems like a reasonable cause for a break. ;-)

 

[Erkon]

Good luck! What field will your PhD be in?

 

[godotnut]

@Erkon:

My dissertation is on the American poet Walt Whitman. I just wasn't getting enough work done with my Civ obsession. I need to go cold turkey for a while.

I hope to be back soon!

 

[Lexad]

Good luck! Hoping to see you later.

No Quechue rush didn't turn out to be a good idea either

Good luck! Hoping to see you later.

I agree with Lexad and you about the rush. Good luck in your studies godotnut.

I wish you the best of lucks.
We will miss you.

 

[Thrallia]

good luck godonut.

 

[Markus5]

Best of luck. It was your cultural strategy that led to my first cultural victory. Not deity, but emperor. Still, for me, I was pleased. Again, good luck.

Now I understand why you're the cultural victory guru! It would seem odd if your PhD were in Rocket Science.


Good luck and come back soon!

@ godotnut: "Great Humanist born in Iowa" (in time for the caucuses?) will be announced soon I am sure! Good luck on the diss.

I would have expected your dissertation to be on Samuel Beckett, but it probably won't mix well with a lot of civving regardless. Good luck!

 

[AlanH]

Good luck, godotnut. Look forward to seeing you again when you're a PhD

 

[Vynd]

Good luck with your dissertation godotnut! I recommend a totally peaceful cultural or diplomatic approach to the grad school challenge. A military victory seems unlikely.

 

[KMadCandy]

best of luck! thank you for your generosity posting tips/guides/tactics, i learned a lot from you.

You will be missed and not just due to your great avatar.

 

[godotnut]

What a tremendous online community.

Other games have their bells & whistles, but Civ has always--and still has--the best fan base.

You all are the greatest, but I really need to get some work done!
