And then inform them that the best way to deal with the situation would be to raze all the cities to the ground, send in a few settlers, and build lots of temples and cathedrals to culturally assimulate everyone in the area...

You start shopping for Fur and Ivory for your girlfirend for Christmas insisting that it HAS to make her happy!

(...despite the fact that she's and environmentalist)

AND

At your weekly group meeting at work you put forth a memo claiming that burning incense in the office-place will make everyone happier!

THEN

When your boss asks you how long it should take to complete your project you claim 30 turns unless we rush build sacrificing Bob and Steve (worthless -- no value added employees) in which case he could have it tomorrow. (Note that Despotism is the official gov't at my office!)

FINALLY

You feel technologically accomplished being an Engineer since Engineering is pretty high up the tech tree but feel vastly inferior to your girlfriend who has a BS in Genetics...

You know you've played to much civ3 when...

You move to an area around a river so you dont have to build a aquaduct to have 7 kids.

Your new nieghbor comes over to greet you and you ask him to trade $45 for engineering (so you dont have to drive around the river) when he gets confused you demand he leave imediatly, when he dosen't suddenly apear on his lawn you declare war.

You start trying to throw your son through your neighbors window so you can "spy on him during wartime"

You burn down your niegbors shed and are surprised when a new worker dosen't suddenly apear.

You throw your son into your nieghbors door, when it dosent open you throw your other son into the door, when it opens you proclaim that he is now Veteran.

You enslave your nieghbor and his family and leave a bunch of Rotwilers in his house to "Quell the stinking resistance"

You start hearing voices whenever you go on dates saying "They will probably be insulted by this deal"

You burn down the nearby University so it cant "assimulate you through culture"
