I got the game a week ago, and 2 days ago I pulled a 16 hour session, from 3pm to 7am, non-stop. After 5 hours of sleep, I got up, and played 3 more hours to finish it. This game is the devil!!!!!
It took me 1/2 hour to fall asleep cuz my brain still wanted to order workers to clean pollution and build railroad.

Hmmm, you've never experienced the condition I like to call "Civ-stomach"? You know, you haven't eaten anything since that bowl of cereal 14 hours ago, but you're so focused on Civ, that you don't even notice? It feels kind of like your stomach after an intense night of drinking after not eating dinner - you know it's empty, but you can't bear the thought of eating something. Of course, after drinking it's for fear of not keeping it down, but during a marathon Civ session, it's for fear of leaving your computer for more than a 30 second bathroom break. After awhile, you begin to wonder if being 20 years old really precludes you from wearing Depends.
With Civ3, I've probably logged, at most, 5 hours straight, but when I was in college and playing Civ2, every once in awhile I'd bag class and play for about 18 hours or so. I did this every day for the week or so I had a dorm room to myself. Having a roomie kind of put the all-night civ session to more of a monthly affair. Now, it seems, I have better things to spend my time on, like Medieval: Total War.

My longest civ3 session is only 3.5 hours. I never play very long straight but that's probably a good thing. Eventually I always start to feel unproductive and I have to go and do something else.

I was avoiding studying for exams last semester, and ended up playing all of AU202 (and writing the AAR!) in two sittings. That's around 30-35 hours in 2 days.
And yes, I did get that weird dream syndrome when I went to sleep; I remember trying to figure out the best way to place Workers around my bed for maximum efficiency. Crazy crazy stuff.

If you can look at the clock while playing Civ, you're not playing Civ.
Before I joined the working class, when I would play Civ (any version), I would end it after realising the sun was in the AM side of the window. I vaguely remembered that the sun was in the PM side of the window when I started, also that there was some kind of darkness at one point, and I heard some noises in the house, as people were getting ready to go to work. I only stopped because someone yelled the word SCHOOL before leaving and I realised I also had to be there. On the way to school I would still look for the best place to position my mech. inf. or armor troops before attacking.

And games should alway be only games. I want reality to be my game.
