When you get a job at a company that makes radar artillery, because you wanted to build them in CivIII but every single game ends before you get that far on the tech tree.

When you ask yourself: Senate? What Senate?

When you correct people by saying that America, England, France, China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and India are all six thousand years old.

If when you threaten people, you say "My Words Are Backed With Nuclear Weapons," (Civ2, I know, but I love that).

Tired of ads?

When you meet an interesting person, and, instead of asking for their phone number, you try to establish an embassy in their capital... wherever that is.

When you make sure that all your business deals (apartment contract, car loan, video rentals, etc...) last exactly 20 years or until war is redeclared.

When you start seriously considering the prospects of a CivIV.

I am just talking about the cute girls who like me. They are acting too mousey now for long term relationships. But that is ok for the Lady when one is somewhat a reformed Tramp.

when you go with a shovel to the local dump so you can clean up the pollution.

when you suspect that everyone around you knows where you stashed your hidden resource of cookies.

when you don't believe stories about the native Americans learning to breed horses because everyone knows that horses originated in Europe and Asia and that's the only place that they can reproduce.

you wonder why Cairo doesn't have 1 billion people after having the Pyramids all these years.

you have to carry around a numeric keypad so you can move anywhere.

you go buy all the spices from the supermarket shelves because of that little voice that says you need to acquire more luxuries.

you introduce a plan for an aqueduct at the town meeting stating it is necessary for the city to grow beyond size 6. As a result, all the construction materials for the local shopping center are converted to build an aqueduct with ceiling tiles and automatic doors.

you wonder if you should get some diamonds so your girlfriend will have a We Love the King Day and thus put out more.

When you study up on Communism before applying for a job at the local police station.

When, after hearing that someone has completed a project named after Manhattan, you attempt to make an intercontinental nuclear missile out of some recycled soda cans and that glowing green stuff you found laying on the ground.

When you reflect on how lucky it was that aircraft were invented, thus finally giving all those aircraft carriers an excuse to exist.

When you rename your living-room the Planetary Party Lounge.

When you pay one of your fellow students to do your homework for you, and then sell his/her work to everyone else in the class.

When you blame your low productivity on corruption, and lament about all the new hires your company guest made.

When you've played straight through the night into the next afternoon at least once.

When you've called in sick to work at least once because you're still playing when the alarm clock goes off.

When you fixate on each coming weekend as an opportunity for a 48-hour Civ III marathon.

When you unplug the phone so no one interrupts your 48-hour Civ III marathon.

When you've seriously considered using (or have used) empty quart bottles of beer to pee in so you don't have to get up and use the bathroom.

When you start eating ice cream out of the container sitting at the computer instead of preparing dinner because it saves time so you can play more Civ.

When you choose Civ over sex !!
