Civilization

Party time again, a little early. The 'rationalization' goes like this: 'Been playing too much C-III lately so I need a little break plus Saturday night tv is boring and don't forget we have another drunk scheduled for Halloween which is next Saturday so we better get this one in well before then and I should be sufficiently recovered by tomorrow afternoon to enjoy Sunday night tv plus play some more C-III.'

The major problem with C-III is that it requires a lot of repetitive movement, especially with the 'mouse hand' in the later stages. So if you play it eight hours a day like I do(!) your tendons get tender. The game could be improved in that respect. On the other hand your CNS loves the exercise. I began this particular game about four days ago and I have been playing it at least eight hours a day since then. I am Caesar of the Romans. I built my first city, Rome, in 4000bc. Since then I have built my empire up to a point where it is the world's most powerful nation. My ally and I (currently France) are presently in the process of destroying the English Empire together, although my forces are doing most of the conquering. I recently finished off the Aztecs, and enjoyed every minute of it, but I dislike making war on European Women, especially after the primitive period, because they play such beautiful music when I interact with them in matters of trade and diplomacy. The Germans also play the same beautiful music during those negotiations; however I have found it necessary to ban Germany from the games because the old bald-headed Jewish queer who harrasses me seems to have identified himself with the German representative, and stomps and pounds quite often whenever the old bald-headed, mustached, German leader becomes involved in the game. (I had to turn on the ventilation system just now because the old faggot began to gas me quite heavily. I should hasten to explain that after the photograph published in Chess life, the ugly old Jew grew a moustache, which caused him to resemble the old German somewhat. Hence, I think, the 'identification.' This is well-informed conjecture.)

Anyway, where were we? Ah yes: destroying the lovely English with big tits and great music. We will finish that unsavory job in the near future. Then we will go to war with the Iriquois, who have been harrassing us for a thousand years. Eventually we will be forced to deal with the Chinese and the French.

We destroyed the Russians early in the game. Without those early victories we would be toast now. We then formulated a coalition with the French, intimidating the Chinese for the time being. We had previously supported the English in their war with the Iriquois, giving them enough technology and gold to withstand the attack. We also supported the Japanese for a while, but when it became apparent they would lose, we turned tables on them and invaded them for their wine. Wine makes our people happy and more productive. Furthermore, our foothold in the old Japan is a great launching point for our eventual strike against the Iriquois.
