Ah, the halcyon days of youth. I downloaded a copy of Civ II as soon as I switched from Mac to PC after college (replacing my old Macbook was prohibitively expensive for a poor student) and never looked back. Civ IV was new in those days, and I logged thousands of hours of play on both IV and V. I'm having some difficulty getting as obsessive about Civ VI.
I told my computer teacher about it she never got it. We had Oregon Trail and I played the shit out of that. My experience with Civ came when my friend Jason showed me the game. I don't remember having a big hard on for Civ back then but I ended up playing Civ 2 and I was sold.
Also we should have a Oregon Trail mafia game, mostly so I can watch Maria die a slow antagonizing death of typhoid.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Just have to say: while I'll technically be in the game, I'll be functioning as more of a spectator...but I'll be glad to be a part of this game in ANY capacity, because Civilization is awesome. So "almost as a spectator" is still amazingly awesome to me. <3
My role in the game shouldn't be to have fun, but I do wish everyone else that they will have plenty. <3

Wouldn't exactly be a hydra for teaching purposes if I was actively involved in the game, now, would it? (Well, I suppose you could argue a case for "teaching by example", but I don't think that's what JaeReed had in mind; I think of teaching as more...advising, behind the scenes.)
ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

Confirming this is how I view it also.
