You know you've played civ too long when...

Coug · February 21, 2000, 16:11

A minute of silence please.

Ok, now that that's over and done with, here it is again. The sequel. The sequel is always better, right? Well, now that we're back into business, let me see what I can remember of this thread.

...you can't belive why they don't transform Sahara into Plains.
...you think it's silly of America to keep their Nuclear Power Plants, when they have the Hoover Dam.
...more later...

Coug · February 21, 2000, 16:35

Ok, let's see what more I can remember...

...you wonder why there was starvation in Egypt... after all, didn't they have the pyramids?
...you refer to your work colleagues as "enemy units".
...you wonder why there aren't more airports on hills.
...you wonder why Britain isn't as productive as they used to be. After all, hills never stop to produce shields, right?

Mao · February 21, 2000, 17:22

...you try to walk across the country on railroad tracks because it doesn't take any time

Paul · February 21, 2000, 17:32

When I browsed through the forums earlier today I actually saw that pages 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the original thread still existed. Just to be safe I saved those pages on my own computer; but maybe something can be done with those pages?

February 21, 2000, 17:36

Frame them!

Coug · February 21, 2000, 17:41

Excellent Paul!

Nope, sorry, happened to my coffee shop too. Every other page is there except page one, and then you can't post replies to it anyway. We can only look in awe at it

My favorite from the thread that went before:

...you turn grey when you go to sleep.

When you guess the specials around Los Angeles are fish, fish, oasis, oasis; irrigated, supermarket, harbor and still in a food deficit.

For the brits and their subsidiaries harbor may be spelt harbour.

...when you build Woman's Sufferage in hopes you may someday get a girlfriend....to no avail

Emperor10 · February 22, 2000, 20:36

For you teachers out there:

When you come to class declaring "O most untrustworthy leader of the infidels" to the student that you caught cheating

klesh · February 22, 2000, 22:12

I hope this thread catches on like the last one. I'm trying to give it a push...

...when you think the US should use more spies in the army to decrease civillian unrest...

Hoss · February 23, 2000, 01:26

You’ve fenced in your yard to keep out barbarians

You can’t understand why there are so many unhappy people in Memphis with all those Elvi running around

You believe in Evolution, but those creationists do have a point, the world did begin in 4000BC

Instead of asking your boss for your paycheck you “Demand tribute for my patience”

and FM Klesh LOL re the Big Dig (and what’s with all of the corruption in a Democracy?!?)

klesh · February 23, 2000, 01:36

Yo Coug, I'm glad you re-started this thread.
...when you wonder why every river doesn't have irrigation and railroads on it.
...when you think the people in Kansas are missing out on the two free advances, because they teach creationism rather than Evolution.
...when you think you should walk on hills rather than grassland because you can defend it better.
...when you tell some one your words are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
...You watch 'Saving Private Ryan' and notice that some sounds are taken from your favorite WWII scenarios...or is that the other way around?
...when you keep checking the callendar thinking 'We only have 20 years left to get to AC!'
...when you think clearcutting forest to boost population is a good thing.

And for my Massachusetts Civers...
... when you think they should just huury up and finish the 'Big Dig' by using caravans and freight...

Graag · February 23, 2000, 02:18

... when you start saving pointless civ-related threads. (just for you Paul)

...when you wonder why the city you live in is so dirty, when they have a mass transit system.

(Remembered from org. thread.)

War4ever · February 24, 2000, 00:53

when you believe nuking chinese cities and then capturing them will give you WLTPD

Seeker · February 24, 2000, 15:18

When you think Las Vegas must be the happiest city in the world...all those elvii, an Oasis and Caesar's Palace!

klesh · February 24, 2000, 15:43

...when you look at a swamp and get excited that there may be Peat Moss in there...oohhh, peatmossssssss.

...when you assume the US won the war w/Iraq by hiding it's tanks and howies behind camel caravans...

Peacemaker · February 24, 2000, 20:31

When you drive past road construction and look for men in white lab coats(or settler outfits).

Don't let the name fool you!!!

War4ever · February 24, 2000, 20:45

when as a settler, you build leos workshop hoping to earn an engineering degree at the same time

Your looking at pollution smog and cant' find the skulls

Gothmog · February 24, 2000, 21:37

...You think that money CAN buy happiness
...You think that the Zulus were once a major world power
...You start a Cylindrical Earth Society
...You irrigate your garden to boost food production

klesh · February 26, 2000, 14:28

You take a plane across the country and expect to stop in midair and wait for the rest of your movement points

Kuma no Tsume · February 26, 2000, 17:57

.... you can sail safely across the ocean 'cause you saw a lighthouse.

February 26, 2000, 19:33

...you find yourself thinking 'I told you that original thread should have been archived'...

Andemagne · February 26, 2000, 21:17

.....when you eagerly wait for release
of "The Making Of Civilization 3"-home video

Peacemaker · February 26, 2000, 21:45

...You wonder what day of the week the "We Love the President" holiday will fall on this year.
