You know you've been playing too much SMAC when...
1)When you steal your sister's gems and try to build a scout rover with them.

2)When you try to build a hab complex so you can have more then 7 kids.

3)When you try to kill you little brother with psi attacks.

4)When you try to build a condenser in your backyard so it will rain more.

Anyone else got more?

12. You think that the reason no one declared war on America after the attack on Hiroshima was because the U.N. Charter wasn't in effect.

13. You think you know why "rednecks" are so red. (Think about drones...)

19. You ask for a raise, on the grounds that you're a Talent, or you forswear them completely (since you're a Transcend.)
20. You enrol in Maths at University, hoping to learn the Secrets of the Manifold ( BIG mistake)
21. You think The Bible is written by Velociryx

Isn't it because the unit has performed ADMIRABLY?
CONSIDERABLY is not correct.

27) when your wife shakes you awake in the middle of the night, demanding to know if you've been having an affair "with some woman named Deidre", and you have to suppress saying yes.

28) when the Jehova's Witnesses show up on your doorstep and the first thing you ask them is, "do you know Sister Miriam?".

29) when your kids ask you where do people go when they die, and you say, "to the recycling tanks".

30) when you start threatening your kids with the Punishment Sphere when they misbehave.

31) when your teacher says, "If you say a mindworm ate your homework again, your going straight to the principle's office".

There's a commercial they've been playing on AM radio (forget what it's about) and one of the lines includes the words "superior training" and it ALWAYS reminds me of Santiago's line in the game - it's said almost exactly as she says it (but by a guy).

When you worry about paper staples stating "Please no more nerve staples"

You get mad at people who put Hampsters in those rolly balls because you just heard about Punishment Spheres.

You refer to the '60s/'70s era as "Gaian Times"
