You Know You Have Played SMAC Too Long When.....

[Adalbertus]

You've played too much SMAC when you succeed in nerve-stapling everyone in sight.

[Anodyne]

...when your children are not behaving well, you threaten them with a nerve stapler.

[Adalbertus]

Ade, the threat certainly works - until the kids find out where you got it from ...

[The Bloody Baro]

...when a robber comes along and you say " I've got an impact rifle and I'm not afraid to use it!"

[Pandemoniak]

... when you start calling Bill Gates a morganite pig and imagine his reply " Ha! You should invoke UN 'sanctions' ! "

[Straybow]

…you dream of sending out a former to mow the lawn 'cause it's too hot.

[Adalbertus]

... when you start calling Bill Gates a morganite pig

Morgan is a gatesite pig! (And in several occasions Morgan is formed after Gates.)

[Clear Skies]

...you wonder why God didn't choose 30-50% ocean coverage on the options screen so we'd have more land to expand into.

[Anodyne]

...when your pickup lines are usually similar to "Is that a monolith in my pocket or am I just happy to see you"

(ripped from the joke thread, sorry )

[Adalbertus]

...you wonder why God didn't choose 30-50% ocean coverage on the options screen so we'd have more land to expand into.

You wonder why it still isn't possible to construct condensors which can make water from apparently nothing

[Mr. President]

You perform your final duty, to go into the tanks and become one with all the people. After that, of course, you never find out that the city doesn't like drinking water with dead bodies floating in it.

[0zymandias]

You wonder why the Human Genome Project needs so much funding, it only costs 200 minerals.

You hack into your school's network, steal your final exams, and try to pin it on your best friend.

You see no problem with electoral bribery.

Merci beaucoup I never realised I was that funny.

Another couple:
...when you're having an argument with someone, you try and get your best friend to help you out by saying 'otherwise I shall cancel our Pact of Brotherhood!'
...you wonder how Saddam managed to research genetic warfare/nuclear capability while running Fundamentalism
...you regard anyone dressed entirely in black with extreme suspicion in case they're a probe team

[CEO Aaron]

You start building Supply crawlers to pick up your chinese take out, thereby increasing the attention you can devote to your game.

[Anodyne]

...when you wonder how it's possible that have we researched "Flight" but we still don't have High Energy Chemistry and other all-basic ground-level technologies.

[Tommara]

...when you screw up in real life then realize you forgot to save the game - wait a minute, how does that work again?

Oh, I do that already - but that's because I'm scared they're assassins

[Frankychan]

...when you change your career goal to follow that of the benevolent Chairman Yang (that would be me!)

[rb103]

when you're having an argument with someone, you try and get your best friend to help you out by saying 'otherwise I shall cancel our Pact of Brotherhood!'

I do that all the time.

As it turns out, I did cancel it. I found it Null and Void.

[Clear Skies]

You sure you didn't mean full of droids?

[Straybow]

These aren't the droids you're looking for…
