Oh, wait, that's a sign you've been playing too much Tropico, which is what I'm playing these days. ^_^

....When you encourage your SO to dress like "that hot barbarian Joan".

....When you think Joan in leathers is hot.

You move your PC, toaster oven and a small fridge into the bathroom so you can play continuously until you pass out.

Later, you move everything back out so you have something to do while you're waiting for the turns to finish.

This really happened:

I set my alarm, went to bed, and woke up well after the alarm should have gone off, although I never heard it. In my half-asleep state, the best explaination I could come up for my alarm not working was . . .

"It must be outside my cultural borders."


*Even then, I probably got about 5 hours of sleep that night (I'll give you about III guesses why).*

I unfortunately have not had the time to play Civ 3 that much. Six months ago I introduced my girlfriend to Civ 2 and she loved it.
So when I got Civ3 she started to play it. Now she spends more time on it than I do, every time I try and play she black mails me to get off the computer. The worse part is that she is still at Uni so she has more free time. Every day when I get home from Uni she is there playing away. Any ideas how to get her not to like the game anymore

For the married with kids crowd. (Sorry if this is double posted, had some server problems).

1) You nobly and unselfishly volunteer to watch the kids while your significant other "has some time to herself."

2) If your two year old son knows that his Winnie-the-Pooh balloon popping game only works when Daddy isn't home.

3)You justify your play time to your significant other by stating that "I could be out at the bars."

4) If you have ever, ever, ever said any of the following...
"If I can get at least four hours, I'll be fine..."
"I really don't need more than a couple of hours."
"Does Starbucks deliver?"

You start playing at a higher rated level, and you reduce the number of players in the games because the whole world keeps attacking you before 1000 A.D. and you do not really care about not being invited to that party anymore.

Hah, I've one-upped you (I think)!
When you spend $1,300+ for a new 1.3GHz computer (Wintel at that!) just to play it in the first place.

It will probably be a couple months or so until I get a new Mac (mine's only 350MHz).

OTH, I haven't played it too much yet...

Tired of ads?

When you ask your teacher is complaining that the class is too slow, you tell him he should switch from despot to republic.

When you wonder why the USA has police stations but not a communistic form of government.

When you argue with soemone that Alexander the great ruled greece from 5000BC to 2050AD.

When you shoot fireworks in the air when you really love your king.

When you swear you saw industrial cleopatra in one of them western shoot-'em-up movies.

When you wonder why countries like Andorra don't culture flip to france or spain.

I got a dozen more but I'll stop for now.
