The joys of NOT playing Civ Full PM-box? Change here!

I just wiped Civ2 off my hard drive and sent the disc to my sister. I've already been running and read a career book and had coffee at the local hangout.

Life is better without Civ. Now how do I delete Apolyton?

oh ya...let me see...joys like cutting the lawn or painting the fence.Watching Ally Mcbeal with the old lady
going to work/school...with no civ to think about and look forward to...???

There is no joy in Mudville without civ.Kinda like a microwave.Once you got it,you can't live without it.

Would someone please get a doctor for this poor soul? he is obvioulsy suffering from some terrible disease... It's probably fatal. Does anyone have a straight jacket and padded cell available? Poor GP, the strain from waiting for civ3 is probably killing him.

get yourself banned,
ask someone to change your password,
change your own password to something like: lsdkhaolg

I really should be doing the same thing... Although wiping Civ2 off wonīt be necessary since I hardly ever play it anyway (that reminds me... I have to play my part in the current ToT succession game). Itīs Apolyton that creates the biggest problems. On nights like this I often spend hours on the OT, barely posting, just browsing, reading and waiting for others to reply to my few posts... sad.

Iīd better spend the time Iīm on Apolyton on Civ2 instead. Iīd be a Deity by now (no, not the rank on Apolyton! The difficulty level.. ).

That reminds me... c'mon and play your turns, Merc! I'm suffering succession withdrawal symptoms...

On the thread topic, I find my Civving tends to come and go. Right now, I'm playing a lot more, but at times I just can't be bothered to play a game all the way through. These days, I tend to either get bored when it looks like a long, drawn out win, or restart when I'm getting clobbered on Deity/Emperor. Only occasionally do I play to the finish. Not like the old days when it was a matter of honour to finish off the AI

Apolyton is muych more the problem. I've tried bans before. They helped. But Marcos wouldn't give me an IP ban. I told him I'm using a work computer...so nobody else should be here either...

If you access Apolyton from work, canīt you get it filtered out or something.
Or are you smart enough with computers, and desperate enough, so that you would eventually circumvent the filter somehow anyway.

By the way STYOM, I finished my part. I wouldīve posted it yesterday, but couldnīt because of the downtime.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

GP, this all sounds like a cry for help. If you really wanted to quit, wouldn't it be much easier to fade away? Just stop coming around. I think you like it here. If so, keep coming back. We'll all be yammering about Civ III here shortly. Could suck you back in, so be warned.

Got spare money?

I threw Civ 2 away 3 times in college.

I disappear for about 3 weeks and then end up throwing it away once I start to look anaerexic and the trash and laundry piles up.

Currently I have no copy of it.


But Civ 3 is right around the corner.

Speaking of which...

Next week, I start at a private high school with a very tight schedule and heavy workload. Probably wouldn't hurt to figure out a way to lock myself out of using my games. Chances are, deleting the shortcuts from my desktop would do the trick, since I don't want to uninstall anything.

And of course, the case of withdrawal I'll get from leaving Apolyton will be hell... And no, I won't be able to access this place from the school's computers. I think it's already blocked off...

GP, why don't you try to find something worse, like chess or sailing for example
Then you would realize civ2 and Apolyton are not so dangerous after all. You could then tell those who share your life, that you love them so much that you have chosen addictions that keep you at home
And besides, there probabliy ain't no cure

*am getting visions of a room with a circle of middle aged men (It's my vision so you are just going to have to put up with the age of afore mentioned men). A particularly depressed one stands up and says "hello, my name's Bob and i can't stop playing civ, (he gets into the flow of it) it's terrible I'm ruining my marriage! i spend all my time on the apolyton website! my wife hates civ and even my geriatric dog has disowned me!

There seem to be an error with his post count (3278), as when I search for posts by him only finds 2983 (including OT-posts after the rule change).
Markos must have given him a 10% PCI (Post Count Increasement)
