... 'Ancient' age no longer means age with wonders like Lighthouse and Colossus, but age when you were contributing to the List.

...You begin to slash Yin's ramblings and piece them back together in hopes of finding secret information about patch scheludes in 'Yin codes'.

...You don't even know what the code looks like, and you've started to edit it already.

...You begin wonder when Mark and Dan are going to set up that Civ4 forum.

...You realize you don't really want Civ3 to come just now - griping about deadlines is so much more fun.

...You cut screenshots from Civ3 site, make them your background images, hitch all icons to hell, and pretend you're playing Civ3 and computer just crashed.

...You've bought all parts of 'Cartoon History' just to get the best CivTrivia score.

Darkknight, I all the above, but I can't miss to note the "friend who hates Civ3" must be your dog, because

Others animals can fit the role, having more than 3 legs, but everyone know dog is best friend of a man...

...When you read a few cool things about civ3 which excites you. You then decide to play civ2 thinking of all the awesome features in civ3. After you get to about 200BC or so you start to realize that you're playing civ2 and not civ3.

I have to resist the urge to reinstall it every two or three weeks. But recalling CtP2´s city growth formula (or better, the lack thereof) reliably helps.

The game freezes on me before I start 80% of the time.... How in the name of (insert deity here) did you manage that?

On a side note, I only got to 3820 BC in my last game. 32 civs is just too much for my little 64 megs of RAM.
