Term for playing Civilization?

[Dale]

Yeah Ditto. She calls it "wasting Effing time playing that stupid game again".

My wife says the same thing. She can talk, she plays Farmville!

 

[BammBamm]

It was called "Civing" at Apolyton years before CFC was even born.

Case closed.

With a CivFanatics join date of March 2002, and boasting a respectable 5,138+ post count…

Good on ya, mate. Henceforth, “Civing” it shall be, as spelling wars can often be so unpleasant...

LOL!!

Good god, Farmville. GET OUT NOW!!

I seem to be very luck.. if I tell my girlfriend I'm going to be civing, she requests a hot seat mode.. And this is true for all possible interpretations of that phrase..

Ok - forums are for sharing not scaring.

I'm afraid I'm in the camp with the guys who have conversations like:

Her: What are we going to do today?
Me: ....
Her: You are going to mow the grass right? I can't even find the dog.
Me: Oh Yes!
Her: What? Oh Yes what? You're going to mow the grass??
Me: Just cut off Alexander's supply of copper!
Her:
Me: Ow! Ow ow! Crikey! YES I'LL MOW THE GRASS! (mumbling) Just gotta finish the Oracle first...

 

[Zhahz]

[Schuesseled]

[12agnar0k]

^>^.

Civving, what a joke.

 

[PieceOfMind]

If a Kansan hick takes-off, northbound from Wichita, Kansas, motoring on Interstate 35 at the rate of 120 km/h with a 15 km/h tailwind in a vehicle with a drag coefficient of C_d 0.37, how long will it take for him to reach the relatively temperate climes of the famed Banff Springs Golf Club?

UM...he won't...Banff is West, so you would need to learn to turn the left at some point....And bring your passport, eh?

Seriously, much of what is made in the US is already bastardized metric. Take a look at the wrench sizes needed to work on a "made in the USA" car!

LOL! Good call!

Hey – at least we Yanks can declare victory over the Metricized world over the fact that all socket wrenches maintain their Imperial drive sizes: ¼”, ½”, etc.

And if I get lost on my way to Banff, I’ll just ambush a Canadian Mountie, eh. But I have a decent grasp on the geography, thanks to these two hosers:

UM, again, measure the "drive sizes" and you may be surprised. They used to be 1/4, 1/2, etc. but most are now a bit smaller than that and a round metric number. No one in the rest of the world works to Imperial, so even for the US market, it is made in metric to the closest size to Imperial.
I have new neighbors from Belgium, and they have nothing but a blank look when I say feet, pounds, or miles.

Careful at ambushing a Mountie, one of them might drop his gun, and hurt someone......
They do weigh about 4 kilos, and would hurt your foot.

 

[Darth Caesar]

It's civving.

 

[CHEESE!]

Civicide.

 

[yougenius]

I haven't been playing it very long, but "playing civ" seems to sound right to me.

And, I'm also lucky that my DW loves the game too, so we're both totally addicted to it. We haven't played against each other yet... will do so soon, hopefully it ends peacefully!

Unfortunately it never ends peacefully, i havent played it with a partner, but I have played it with friends....its not pretty

For me its civing

I'm at that weird thirty-something age where everyone older than me uses Imperial, and everyone younger than me uses metric, and I use bits of both as that's what I was taught. I always measure my height in feet and inches. I measure rooms (for carpets) in metres. We (as a country) use miles and not kilometres. I also ask for a pint of milk (and beer), and 12.5oz of tobacco (even though it sais 12.5g on the packet). I use Celcius to measure temperature and grams to measure out rice, but I ask for half a pound of tomatoes at the market or a quarter of cola cubes in the corner shop.

My country is weird...or maybe it's just me.

No, it's not just you. Drive at 30 miles per hour to the petrol station and buy 20 litres of petrol. At the pub, buy a pint of beer and a 175ml glass of wine.

 

[Carwyn]

I've been "civvin'" or "going to civ" for years... as in "We're going to civ tonight dear, you want to play?" and "NO! You CANT use up the DSL with Guild Wars while we civ!!"

Sleep? Not while I'm civ deprived!
