To play or not to play

[Longasc]

Hard to say. Hours in a row or not at all... I just played some turns in my Deity game that lasts for month by now, as I am not really interested in playing Civ3 anymore.

I play around 10 to 12 hours a week (give or take a few). It is rather dependant on my schedule and my girlfriend.

Lately, I haven't been able to do more than a couple hours a day, if that. I'm starting to twitch right now, actually, not having played seriously since Saturday....

If you want real addiction, look at a game like Everquest or some other MMORG. Six-eight hours at a time is nothing. Powergamers (and college students, I guess) will play 18-20 hours a day, in one sitting. Then get up and come back for more.

I play Civ 3 because my Real Life couldn't support the kind of addiction necessary to compete.

There's no 3 or 4 hour choice, so I picked most of the day.

Ditto!

Once a week if im lucky and its off peak non-assessment time. (Although i do spend a fair amount of time on forums at school and what not)

 

[TyranusBonehead]

Usually an hour a day. Maybe a bit more. One thing I love so much about Civ is that it is turn-based, and I can save my game and walk away from it for a bit, come back and play at the point where I left it (without reloading or anything). Sweet, especially for those of us who are short on free-time (ie, parents)

I play like a man possessed for about a month and then I stop for about a month. So I can't vote on this poll.

At this time,I play a game in a week. Been played more and less....

 

[viper275]

24 hours a day.

Spoiler :

No, I'm joking. It depends, but 1-3 usually.

 

[Dachs]

Normally, about two and a half hours, but only four days a week.

For a while I was going at least 2 hours a day but for midterms I decided I had to buckle down, so I pulled out the duct tape and sealed the case shut. Worked suprisingly well. I now limit myself to weekends only, but with finals coming up in a couple weeks, it looks like I may have to pull out the tape again

 

[RegentMan]

It depends. There are times where the only thing that I want to do is play Civ, so I'll be Mr. Lazy and do nothing else. Other times, I really don't want anything to do with Civ.

 

[greekguy]

i'm currently taking a break untill i patch my game, but i usually play 2 hours or if the game is going good 3-4 hours.

 

[siberian_wolf]

I usually play 2-4 hours, but lately I've been so busy, so I have been playing only 1 hour a day.
I'd like to play more, but to do that I would have to quit my job, my studies and/or my girlfriend... it's a tough call.

I tend to play one game obsessively for a week (with a few hours reserved for other games), then play another game obsessively for a week (with a few hours reserved for other games). For the past two weeks, it's been Civ3. I alternate between Civ3, Mafia, and The Sims 1/2 for the obsessive game.

Just like me. I'm totally addicted to Flight Simulator, but I try to play as much Civilization as possible.
