View Full Version : 1000 Clues You Are Already Too Obsessed With M2TW!

We did this in the Civ Fanatics forum just before Civilization IV came out. The point is to get to 1000 clues before the release date. You are allowed to have as many clues in 1 post as you want. Also try to number the clues as clearly as possible, since this is a problem we ran into on the civ site. They got the 1000 in less than a month, and the thread died out with 1164 clues. Lets see if we can match it. And remember, the funnier the better, as long as it isn't something that will get you in trouble.

OK, I'll start:
1. You are on this site more times a day than you eat.
2. You are on this site longer than the amount of time you sleep.
3. You are getting ahead in your (school)work now because you know you won't have any time to do it once M2 comes out.
4. You have gone back to MTW to prepare yourself for M2.
5a. You taught your (insert significant other here) how to play on MTW so you can do multiplayer on M2
OR
5b. You refuse to teach your significant other how to play because that means less playing time for yourself.

I think that is a solid start, lets see how it goes.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure CA made it quite clear they want to avoid any connection between turns and years. IIRC the game spans about 450 years with about 250 turns. Try doing the math there and you'll soon discover there isn't a direct, whole number correlation. I think most of the time a turn will be two years, but it isn't a "applies to every situation/we had to sacrifice a few fattened calfs to make it happen this way every time" rule.
