They always looked like little green apples to me.

	Increase Your PM Length

If you want post count, play some multiplayer -- I have about 2000 posts that say "turn sent"

Personally I have never understood why anyone cares?

Oh and MadMonk .. . There is a whole jargon and short hand to the game which you will get used to

" I beelined to IA to build the PTS and then ICS and was big enough that the EG was enought to become gov" etc etc

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Oh gosh
I managed to get pass IA and paused a little while at the PTS and was totally lost for ICS and finally I was really glad that I know what gov stands for.

I vaguely remember there was a list of abbrs in the FAQ thread.

No. Just kidding. Infinite City Sleaze is how I heard it first back in the days of Civ2, before SMAC was a game. But now some people have tried to come up with a more pleasant-sounding word like 'Sprawl' for the 'S'.

The idea is to build many,many bases, all crammed together so that the base radii substantially overlap. This should give you something more akin to exponential growth rather than linear growth from a more controlled, conventional expansion.

Oh, I'm familiar with the jargon, I just wasn't sure where some of it came from.

As another example, I know noodles = needlejets, but I have no idea how it came about -- was it misspelled "noodlejet" at some point in the game?

It's just a consequence of the internet's obsession with abbreviation.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

Googlie is the only one I have seen using the word "noodles" IIRC. I just took it over from him.
