Clues you've been playing too much Galactic Civilizations II

from GalCiv2 Forums
Based on this post for a mod of Civilizations IV: Beyond the Sword: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=249675

Let's see if we can get this list all the way too 1000!

1. You hear an airplane fly by and shout "The Drengen are here! The Drengen are here!"

2. When you do the above, you get your plasma blaster and shoot it down

I'll post more later, now let's see your creative juices flow!

You might want to stay away from that...evil dictators tend be bad-tempered, and dont appreciate self-deprecating humor. ;)

45. You multi-task your way into (having auto-save on at 10 turns) a game, hit save every two turns, go out, only to realize, four other files were lost. You log back on SD forums claiming a bug which you contradict four turns later (barely 20 minutes have gone) in dum excuses for bothering everyone here. BUT -- alt-tabbing twice again to verify.

46. You seem to focus more on production than research - thus, feeling your knowledge of mathematics is slowly eroding. Proof being, the 55% note you just got at your final geometry exams in college.

47. You ask your girlfriend to change her name to Jeena to which she replies; new haircut maybe.

48. As you walk down the street, you start to grid the neighborhood with parsecs blue lines. Regular grass and asphalt looks awfully weird at times... but it's okay, as long as everything is perfectly 'squared' you're happy.

49. Your keyboard has tons of post-it stickers with the most useful shortcut references. You hit some Function keys in Word and worry that the Trade screen (and any others) hasn't popped up as it should.

Only if you can take with good humor what he may throw back at you. :)

This seems entirely reasonable to me.  :LOL:

53. Your hand keeps absently writing and rewriting the module combinations for best effectiveness on your new ship design without you noticeing.

54. You think you need some more influence starbases and tech whenever a vote doesn't go your way.

27. Your coffee cup has a group of reddishly glowing hard-points instead of the normal handle. Your fingers seem to always stick to it at the wrong spot.


34. You have a car accident and you curse yourself for not turning off mega events.


These really had me laughing out loud!!! :LOL:

67. You search for an arrow tag on door handles everywhere (house, car) and since you can't find any, you just stay in - waiting for the next turn.

68. No matter how hard you try, you can't click away from the 'camera style' on your TeeVee real remote control thinking "Why doesn't that thing on the tube change its perspective to front view and zooming in doesn't work either". Upset, you throw the darn thing on the wall triggering a chain of mega_events on Channel 4. Keep zapping.

69. Just as you thought the total addiction patterns were over... someone suggests a new game he tried last week - somethin' like Dread Hords and it's got two great expansions already which he certainly will buy. You turn around without saying a word, rush back home. And play.

71. When you get home from work you see that:

-your wife looks like a Drengin and yells at you a lot

-your kids are brats and hate you like the Snathi

-and you are broke like a Yor bank account

Then you realize you accidently turned mods off!

72. You place booby traps inside a bird feeder hoping a squrell will fall for it. Once it works you grab the squerell by the tail and look up to the sky and scream "See that Snathi! We have your spy!"
