The Civ 5 C&C Off-Topic Thread

[Gori the Grey]

I started with 1, if you can believe that!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Ha. I started with zero! From the zero, to sort-of-kinda-a-hero!

 

[Lohrenswald]

I have a relatively low postcount because I don't have the resolve and can't be bothered to read and reply to most threads

 

[Borachio]

As someone once said in a thread of mine*: "The truly devout never bother to read any threads at all."

I'm not quite sure what they meant, but it was clearly not meant to be complimentary.

And I took it to mean that not reading a thread was no bar to writing a post at any time, and in fact reading could be a positive hindrance.

*"mine" only in the sense that I'd started it.

 

[Klisz]

I put a link in my signature, maybe that will help keep it afloat.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Your signature says "so that threads can stop being hijacked" - I assume you mean on Civ5 forums, correct?

Although I do wonder about how badly this thread in particular would get hijacked, but hey, all for the greater good I s'ppose?

The threads being hijacked were modding threads from the Creation and Customisation section of the forum. Colonialist Legacies, JFD, etc.
Usually completely off the rails conversations.
This thread was meant to calm that.... It seems to have done little to contain the beast.

 

[Arakhor]

You just attracted a better class of off-the-rails posters.

I pretty much only post there (and here I guess, but this is a Civ5C&Cian colony), so that's the only place my signature will be seen.

This thread by definition can't be hijacked.

 

[GPuzzle]

Or can it?

Anyway, anyone here plays Super Smash Bros competitively? No?

Welp.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Well, this has been different (yes, I read the whole thread).

If any of our new-to-OT posters are into Star Trek, Doctor Who, or other SF, we have several ongoing threads about that in the Arts & Entertainment forum (as well as a writing competition and several other writing activities and DYOS). So feel free to drop in there, too.

 

[Hoop Thrower]

The only smash character I can play half decently is Little Mac... which should tell enough about how good I am at smash.

I do like Science Fiction, but I'm sorta only into chilean science fiction that even here it's sorta niche and obscure so... yeah, tough luck.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

with civ 6 on the horizon I cant help but feel we're long overdue a community game or two of civ 5

 

[COF]

Wow, I finally found this place.

 

[retrocity5]

Yeah a place where I can dump old memes and jokes!

 

[gay_Aleks]

No, no, "Humour" & "Jokes" is further down this way.

 

[retrocity5]

Oh does anyone know how to get leader pictures up from mods? I've been trying to get a good sized pic of JFD's Philip III, MC's Peter I Karadjordjevic, and TarcicioCM's Demetrius but can't find a good one online, and the mod folders don't work.

[retrocity5]

This thread seems to have just died. Anyone have anything interesting?

 

[Arakhor]

I've been studying this image for a while. It's really quite interesting.
