The "OMG! Look what happened!" Thread

[Magnificent One]

In Soviet Russia,you don't make joke about Russia, Russia make joke about you!

 

[micbic]

In Soviet Russia, screenie posts you!

This thread will never be the same!

With each post it is changed forever...

 

[micbic]

Seriously we need a free spamming thread

Be careful, someone might call the mods. Back on topic would be a wise course.

 

[MessageMan]

I don't think the mods even care about this subforum.

And it would be pretty ridiculous for someone to message the mods over a thread like this.

Finally, off-topic chat usually results in laughs all around.

Believe me, it can happen. Though lolz are good, you gotta be careful.

Or that's my being paranoid after I contributed to off-topicness and nearly got the mod hammer brought down on me.

We need a historical/political/religious discussion thread... special for RFC-people who are the finest of the Civfanatics forums.

We need a historical/political/religious discussion thread...

The flame wars would be over 9000.

Only slightly

But do that and you will find a worse fate than punishment from the mods: you'll attract the OT crowd

OT crowd?

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

OT crowd?

Off topic. The guys who don't know what civ is.

OT Crowd: Cool reference to my favorite British sitcom The IT Crowd.

This thread will never be the same!

Consequences will never be the same.

From an ongoing game as China:

Guess what's wrong with this one. HINT: Religion

Romans take Inverness!

Christianity in c. 300 BC. What's the holy city?

 

[AnotherPacifist]

Actually Christianity spreading to Jayakarta or Pagan is not that rare--I often found Jayakarta without a religion simply to try to lure Christianity there (if it's the AP religion). Water religion spread is so unreal.
If somebody could draw a topology (not showing real distances) map showing how religions spread by trade routes that would be great.

This is what I found by looking into CvRhyes.cpp in the CvGameCoreDLL folder:

I occasionally see Islam spread to medieval Northern Europe in my 600 AD starts (and some Europeans end up being Islamic).

I occasionally see Islam spread to medieval Northern Europe in my 600 AD starts (and some Europeans end up being Islamic).

I play 600 AD starts mostly because of the chance of a fully Christian Europe and other regions of the world with their historical religions. (no Jewish Arabia for example)
