no, no, your all wrong!! there gona hype it, release a website that says things like "if you want you can play with half a million people at once with a map 250,000 time bigger than civ 2's giga map, with no lag!!" and "the military advisor is so smart that he can come up with tactical plans youve never thought of" and last but not least "the AI is so good it can beat you on any level, except the new "peasent" level"
then they release a the game in a nice shiny package at 69.99, you take it home, it takes three hours to d/l then when we start it it just has to stick figures laughing at us  then we look deeper in the box and it comes with a loaded gun  . i can just see the headlines.
2,000,000 people commit mass suicide whille playing civ3. 50,000 people march over the countryside pillaging towards hunt valley, while another 50,000 are commited to mental institutions.
 what if.......

Wow, that WOULD be funny, though.
"Hey, Firaxis was going out of business anyway, so we thought 'What the hell, those gaming bastards.' Most of the staff will be gone and a few core talent will help form a new company, Fir(m)axis, a company dedicated to working off the coat-tails of Maxis. Fir(m)axis will be a Sim-Golf-only developer. Look for such great titles as:
'Sim Golf Wars,' a humorous golf excusion to the deserts in search of sinking a hole in one down a burning oil shaft!
'Sim Swingers' Golf Club,' like the nude Sim House Party but nude golfing. Simple but a sure sell. Brings new meaning to the term: 'Golf Bag'
'Sim Golf Handicappers,' a funny look at what would happen to golf players if they were all suddenly put in wheelchairs or on crutches. A bit like Mechwarrior but...golf.
'Sim Marcia Goes Sim Golfing,' a chilling look at a woman who hates her life, perhaps BECAUSE of golf. Can you save her and her children from Green Madness?
'Redneck Sim Golf Hunter,' a hilarious 'what if' look at what would happen if those guys who pick up golf balls at the driving ranges finally went nuts and started shooting. FORE!"

hehe,
you forgot the obvius civ-sim-golf
"raise an empire from one putter and a ball, play thru the annals of time, with only you caddy name phil as an allie, fight off other golphers and become the only golpher in the world, or go the more peaceful roote by luanching a merchandise chain to the stars. Using new technologies like, the 'electric shaver' and the deadly '9 iron' you can fight a golphing war that has never been seen before. In your journey you will meet golphing greats like tiger woods or the treacherous O.J. Simson. Build great wonders like 'the super caddy'. This game promises to deliver that certain somthing, unless of course sid mier subscribes to a new magazine"

It seems that sun is hitting hard on some head out there!
Wooow! Best hoax ever. Let's start sending e-mail to every friend, collegue, customer, on-line magazine:
quote:
Warning : News about a fake game Spreading Like Wildfire
Please forward this WARNING to all of your friends.
Apolyton www.apolyton.com, a leading fan site on strategy game, mostly turn based like the well know Civ, Civ II and SMAC series is alerting computer gamers worldwide about a new, rapidly spreading fake Civ sequel, disguisely named Sid Meier's Civilization III.
The NEW Internet Civ III hoax is rapidly spreading across the
Internet. Several hundreds of cases have been reported in just the last few years with more reports pouring in with an astonishing frequency.
"Early propogation reports indicate that this hoax is spreading faster than many of the biggest viruses we saw last year", comments MarkG, Apolyton co-owner with Mr. DanQ.
"It's already seems to be spreading faster than Anna Kournikova and Code Red II".
This particular hoax has been reported succesfuly get plenty of game sites and some paper magazines, too. Common disbelieve get suspended because of Sid Meier's credible track of success used to disguise people around here. A full listing of people that are susceptible to this hoax attack has not yet been released.
"It's more than two years now that we get that hoax, only begin suspecting us when first fake E3 reports start coming. Asking some well know game reporters what news they've got about Civ III at the show they watched us confused, asking "Civ what?", added Yin26, a dedicated fan that was involved so badly he spent months working with many others to a long list of wished features for a game now disappeared as smoke in the wind.
Sid Meier himself, contacted for comment, simply reply: "A Civ sequel? You must be crazy! I was spending time playing golf and designing a new game about golf with my friends at Maxis, since two years now. I've not a clue about any Civ sequel; I HATE sequels, in fact".
Considering the large diffusion of this hoax and its persistence we ask you to help us sending this alert as soon as possible.
Thank You
