Getting to Know Each Other Part Three: Your Avatar Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

What does everyone's personal avatar stand for anyway? I know there are some obvious ones on here, but still, feel free to discuss why your personal avatar best suits your personality, beliefs, philosophy, or identification.

For me, my avatar symbolizes the legitimacy of the need for intimacy between two gay men. Gay men have the same fundamental need that heterosexuals have -- and that is, a need for a meaningful relationship beyond friendship with someone special.

I want to know what other people's avatar stands for.

There were some good, valid points made in that argument -- but anyway, no threadjacking.

Won't have an official avatar. Ever, probably due to this fascist crap-forum only enabling them after 500 posts . And OT doesn't count... (no wonder I have 0.15/day so far... been registered for over a year) I've always hated post-counts anyway.

There were no guns. The only weapons you had were what you could find. The chains were geat for range. However, boxes were fun to kick around.

You could buy books that taught you special moves, like rapid punching or long range tossing. However, I like the regular punches better, they seemed more real.

The cool part was all the gang members had names depending on what gang they were in. Like Tony or Lefty for the Italian gang. Or Clint for the cowboys. Then they would scream mommy or something when you beat them up to much.

Great game.

How did you even find this site...


*a picture of the great god Sid with horns added, including the sign of the devil on his head (No MP)... symbolizing that Civ III would be released without MP capabilities*

Maybe you should learn something about the sites you visit


Oh... Mine is a picture of Ming the Merciless, played by Charles Middleton, from the B/W Flash Gordon movie serials... the reason for why I use it is obvious.
