I'm glad this thread has come back to life, sort of . I certainly haven't given up on the game.

Hmm, sorry I didn't play yet, but I'm going away for a few days, for a short holiday in la douce France. I'll be back next Sunday, so if anyone of you feels like playing a set before that, feel free... 
Oh, don't hurry...

I believe Space is up? He should be back from holidays in France.

At least this team has made it to 1000BC!

My apologies, Space...
No problem at all Ansar, don't worry.
Indeed I'm back but I suffer from a Civ block, I hoped that I could pressure myself to play by posting a "got it" but it doesn't have the required effect. I guess you guys aren't scary enough...
Anyway, I have to face the truth, I think I have de facto retired from civ, or am at the very least away on a sabbatical from playing.
So hereby I sadly "ungot it" and
you.

Sorry to hear that, Space, but I think I understand. I haven't played Civ seriously myself since taking on SGOTM admin, and I must say I don't really have much in the way of withdrawal symptoms. This game's current pace seems to be all I need, plus the vicarious pleasure of seeing others having fun in the competitions. For me, it's probably a sign of a fading (second ... third ... ?) childhood. Can't think what could have brought your (temporary) retirement on, though.
Anyway, good luck with whatever has replaced Civ in your life, and I hope you can keep in touch with your friends here.

Thanks for understanding Alan.
Part of it is trying to bring the fun that I have here to my work. I work in speech recognition and I am really trying hard to make it accepted as a valid way of making things easier for people who have to interact with computers out of necessity rather than choice.
Another part of it is my current infatuation with Spore, a new PC game in the making, which has intruiging basic assumptions: user creativity, integrated science (space!) and procedural animations.
It even has a civ stage.
I find its' developing process fascinating too, as they use prototypes to validate certain ideas. I'm sure that I can use this in my own work too.
A third part might be my non-connection with cIV, I find it too complex to be fascinated with it the way Civ III had me. But it's arrival waned me of III in the process.

I hope you'll still pop-in from time to time to say 'hi'.
