I've been the proud owner of SMAC for two months (that's how long SMAC's been out right?) and I find it increasingly difficult to make enough time for SMAC. I've pushed procasination to its limit. Please help!

If you are an american, don't forget to get your taxes done!!! You can't put it off any longer, without filing an extention of course.

I am filing my extension right after I get home today.
Well maybe a couple of turns of SMAC first.
Morgan and I probably have the same feelings about tax collectors right now.

Yang is a tax collector...
No that is insulting to Yang...

just follow the Picker philosopy, and you'll be fine.
MATTERS!
Works wonders for me.

I wish there was a secret project you could build to do away with the need for sleep!
I think Americans should move election day to April 15. We'd be sure to see fewer and fewer Democrats and Republicans elected that way.
I stopped playing SMAC last night to write my tax checks. I figure I sent the equivalent of a 450MHz Pentium 2 with DVD drive, 128 Meg of RAM and 13.6 Gig hard drive to the IRS. Wouldn't that be a nice SMAC platform?
But to get back to topic, I'd be happy to see any post successful tactics or strategies to help find more time for the game.

I am in Year 9 at school in England, and I have only completed about 5 full games of SMAC in two months. I blam school, homework, cricket practise, and Dad insisting that he uses the computer for work!

im at university and the assingments just keep rolling in. finding the time for eating/sleeping/friends/family/going to the toilet/SMAC is just too much pressure.
if i had any tips i would share them but im afraid that this is life.

I have all the time in the world to play smac... I'm a senior and im homeschooled do to medical reason... I have like really bad migraines... so they have me on opiates aka. legal heroin and other good brain food, hence the s/n, trippin daily So its not time that i have to search for to play SMAC, its soberness. After all, you can't exactly win a srategy game when you think that the PB makes pretty colors (and thats all u think it does). I have a job, fortunately its one i can do while under the influence... i move furniture and handle my boss' tax returns for the company. scary thought

Alphaman: Choosing from eating/sleeping/friends/family/going to the toilet/SMAC, difficult.
I'd say: you can't neglect your friends, or your family for that matter, and SMAC is also too important, so you'll probably have to drop eating, sleeping, and....going to the toilet ?!?!
(Now if I had friends that played smac, I could combine those two and my pants wouldn't be all wet and dirty.... )
