this game is the reason

This game is the reason I have been steadily doing worse in school and my mom is ready to break it over my skull.
 
Here where I live, now, is exactly 3 a.m.
Now, I have to work in three hours, and I should be sleeping. Why I am not sleeping? Because I was just a couple of turns before building the U.N.
Well, the couple of turns lasted 2 hours. But it´s ok, I should sleep at least a little before work. But... I... so... wanna... start another game... but I know I can´t, so I came here trying to distract myself... dumbest idea ever... because reading about civilization makes me wanna play even more... I think I will skip sleep this night.
 
I remember reading an article in PC Gamer years back about a man whose wife divorced him because he played too much Civ 2.

Nice to see I'm not the only one suffering from "One more turn" syndrome.
 
It only costs me a lot of sleep.

Normally i'd go to bed between 1' and 2'. When i do so however, i am too busy thinking about how i can play the comming turns optimally and can't sleep. I then get out of bed, play on till 4AM and am a wreck at work next day :(

Me too; I get to the train station to go into London and say 'what do you need for right of passage' at the ticket office; no maybe that was a dream; I hope so.
 
Last night I decided to play just a little bit of Civ before going to bed. It was 8:35 PM. I remember I clearly said to myself: "I'll play till 9:30 PM and then I'm going to sleep". (I was really tired and sleepy).

When I finally decided to quit, it was 11:45 PM. :mad:
 
Because of civ i'm doing worse and worse in school all the time... :cry:

but, atleast my history and english study is going well thanks to civ! :) :D

just, just one more turn, come on it's friday...
 
Someday maybe someone will invent an electromagnetic pulse device to ruin all electronic powered equipment. This device would probably have to change the physics of our world so that electricity could no longer be generated or transmitted. That is probably when I will quit playing Civ.

Someday I might quit cold turkey....nah

It that happened I would think: What do they want for this tech?
 
Too much. Run 'em over and extort it.

Usually I'd do that too, but I was really tired... And Civ still managed to keep me awake till that hour...

:rolleyes: This has happened to me on more than one occasion ;)


---many, many hours later---

Just one more turn! :eek: :sad: :coffee: :help: :sleep:
 
Geeezzzz... and here I was thinking that it was just me.. I've rarely dreamt about anything else for months now... sometimes trying to figure out what direction to go next, sometimes, some really strange stuff.. but almost always about c3c...
but at least I am starting to quit for the night at a decent hour.. of course having my wife start to get really pissed at me when I'd arrive several hours later to bed than her was good motivation... you wouldn't want me to have to interrupt a game to cook or clean , would you... lol
