	Detoxification Put an end to popups!

I am currently in the phase of CIV detoxification.
It may last days or months!

What's your civ detox. record? Mine is a couple of months

(strange detox. doesn't happen for Apolyton!)

My record of Civ abstinence was 5 weeks. But that only lasted because I didn't have access to any computer, I'm afraid I may already have reached a permanent condition to which there is no cure...

I can't say that I've ever kept track of that. Hendrik, congratulations. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

Do we award '30-day' coins for abstinence?

Let's just say that it is a great advantage to my health that my computer breaks down in more or less regular intervals that allow me to recover...

But I have to say it changes from time to time. Sometimes I don't play for weeks and then I'll spend the nights in front of the screen for days.

School really helps limit the time that is available to waste so I hope that whereever I go to study they have not yet entered the information age and are still using the abacus to compute to compensate for the fact that I am still able to pass my exams...

[edit] I must be crazy...

A few weeks. Something else will grab my attention for a while (My work, my women, a different game), but in the end I always return.

My PC was out of commission for two weeks, otherwise I would never give up Civ2 voluntarily.

	Suffering from ads?

Well, I bought Civ2 in '96, played it for over a year, then stopped for a while, and started again in 2000... I might have played short games now and then, but I'd guess that my record goes for about a year, maybe two... let's say 10-25 months. I really can't remember.
Ha! Try beating that!

SG,
You are talking about Civ and not red wine, correct?

	Inflate your Upload Space

Now you mention it Skrobism my spaceship has started to resemble a bottle of claret...remember those "Saturn 5" rockets? !!!

ps - Hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get the name "Skrobism"?

It sounds like a disease as in:
"that civver is down with the Skrobism"
