First of all, Goob - I'm sorry for using your idea, but it fits so nicely in the topic, I just couldn't help myself...
OK, the purpose of this thread - the storage of any humorous/peculiar/whatever "real stories" associated with SMAC. So, feel free to post here...
Just to start things of:
In one of my games (UoP), a drop colony dubbed Lab Three experienced a fungal bloom in one of its sectors. Unfortunately the defenders (a 1-6t infantry) collapsed under psychological terror and let through several boils of mind worms - as a result, the bases' population was reduced from 16 to 7. 1-3 turns later, I built my first Temple of Planet. On top of that, I was simultaneously writing an essay on synchronicity of events, paranormal activity etc., etc.

Well, Ill take you seriously. Ill share my own story. I was SMACing one day while writing up a lab report for Bio. I knew it would be a long night....I must have passed out, because I woke up, and on my lab report was typed " No Deidre, I will never go green! not now not ever!" go figure...

"I'm not joking. And stop calling me Shirley."
Well, about two months before graduation, I got completely hooked on SMAC. I managed to stave off the more debilitating aspects of my addiction, and stumbled across the academic finish line. Our commencement speaker was Kofi Annan, Sectretary General of the U.N. When telling my family who was speaking, I refered to Mr. Annan several times as "Pravin Lal."
I know. I need help. What's Step Two?

Alleluia! Somebody answered to this post!
Guynemer: Step Two? Of the addiction? If it's that what you meant:
You are already in Step Two (also called MSTI - Mild SMAC Terms Invasion). Step One is the JOMT syndrome. There are a lot of variations of Step Three. For instance, you could develop a craving for Deirdre. Or you begin to think that Miriam was your [put in your least liked subject in high school here] teacher. It's really hard to tell, the variations are as plentiful as the number of cases. Whatever it will be, it'll lead to Step Four: No Life.
If that was a question about forms of treatment - I wish I could know...
If that was a rhetorical question - umm... I was just thinking out loud.

PS. Interesting stories you typed in here, people. Keep 'em comin'!

I've got my final exams (part II) on Monday. They're rock-hard, and I just seem to play SMAC instead. It's far more interesting than doing well and sorting out the rest of your life.

Psych Chaplain, Psych Chaplain I feel like a bridge!
What's come over you?
Three scout rovers, two hover tanks and a synthmetal garrison.

Woman: Psych Chaplain, I'm in love with Deidre.
Doc: Gay-an eh?
-Del.
*Walks into Deidre's greenhouse with Deidre*
Is it hot in here or is it just you?

Miriam, Deidre and Corazon Santiago were in a needlejet. They were out of fuel and had to clear Mount Planet to get to the airbase.
"We'll have to lose some weight", said Miriam, "I'll throw out this box of bibles, I've got plenty of them at home."
"I'll throw out this bag of fertilizer", said Deidre, "I've got plenty at home."
"I'll throw out this PB", said Santiago, "I've got plenty at home."
They cleared the mountain range and landed safely. Santiago was walking home when she saw a man by the side of the road crying.
"Why are you crying?" asked Santiago.
"I was walking along, minding my own bloody business and a bloody great box of bibles fell on my head!"
Santiago giggled at the mans misfortune and moved on.
After cresting the next hill, Corazon met another man crying by the side of the road.
"Why are you crying?"
"I was just walking along and a great huge bag of fertilizer fell out of the sky and cracked me on the head"
"Gee that's no good" said Santiago, suppressing a grin, then she moved on.
A little later, after she had walked a while further, Corazon found a man rolling in the dirt on the side of the road laughing his head off.
"What's so funny?" she asked him.
"Hehe, I was walking along and I broke wind and the city behind me blew up!"
-Del.

PK theatre manager quicklink to theatre owner: Show stopped by Locusts of Chiron.
Return message: Book them for another week.

LOL Delgath! Most of them were very humorous!
Oh, and a hint: Next time, try to post all your messages in one.
