	You know you have played CIV 3 too long, when.... Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I remember laughing my a$$ off when I first read this thread in the CIV 2 forum. So, it might be a good idea to start this same thread for CIV 3!

Here's some suggestions:
You know you've played CIV 3 too long, when:
-you notice a plastic dustbin and try to convince your friends it's a valuable source of aluminium!
-you refuse to accept immigrant workers, because they only work half as fast.
-you start wondering why we are still mining for iron; we can build modern armor nowadays can't we?
-you tell your friends we should all accept Ghanas diplomatic victory. After all, Kofi Annan is UN's secretary-general.

Feel free to contribute anything creative you can think off!

1) When your spouse threathens to leave you if don't stop playing CivIII and you reply, "There are still 15years left on our agreement and breaking it will have a negative impact on your standing"

2) You keep watching the news to see the spacecraft leave for Alpha Centari. Afterall we have all of the Modern Era techs to get it done (Yeah right!)

3) You can't find the forbidden place on the map, but you know it has to be somewhere in the West.

- When you get into a fight with someone, kick their @$$, and demand all their money, $20 per turn, all their technology and their house in exchange for a peace treaty.

- When you grab a spear and try to destroy a moving car with it. Or go to the nearest army base and challenge the troops there to send a tank after you, so you can kill it with your spear.

- When everyone around you starts to look like Sid himself.
