Madness, I tell you, madness

John of Texas Best Grok has once again prodded and poked me (metaphorically, of course. Not that there's anything wrong with that) insisting that I suck the crack pipe that is Civilization even deeper than ever before.

Okay then. Online Civ. This will probably wreck my marriage. But: anyone who would like to join John and I in an online and supremely nerdly contest of strategic acumen, email me and we'll do this thing. For an idea of what it might be like, read this fictionalized but yet truer than true visualization from our own, dear, Geeklethal:

G33kL3th4l > I need iron. Who has iron?

John0 > I got 99 problems, but iron ain’t one.

G33kL3th4l > Wha u want trade for iron?

8ucketH3D > Johno, I’ll trade you not kicking your ass for not giving GL iron.

G33kL3th4l > wtf did I do?

John0 > You don’t know me I do what I want

8ucketH3D > J as soon as he has iron he builds Legions and he’s gonna march them up your ass

G33kL3th4l > wtf bitch let him trade what he wants and I can’t even build Legions yet and you have fucking ironclads fielded

If you'll start this on the 26th(when my exams are over and I'll have gotten Civ for either Xmas or Boxing Day), I'm in. Otherwise, I need to preserve my sanity and my marks. Enjoy though, and be sure to let us know how worthwhile it is to play online.

Not unless I come down with another bout of the Five-Month Mystery Sickness this winter do I expect to be near a home computer for sufficient stretches of time.

If, however, I do come down with the FMMS again, or its close variants Holy Shit What's Happening To Me or Honey Don't Cry There's A 50% Chance I'll Make It, I'm in like Flynn.

Yer killing me here!

I went and ordered the special packaged CivIV - only to find out that my system gets the black-terrain bug. Not a happy time.

CivIII still works, even if it cheats only somewhat less than CivII.
