Yeah, into the hole I went.

Freeciv is one of those things that I get sucked into, obsessively moving little units around and building an imaginary empire.

I like the building best, especially railways; I really dislike the warfare and diplomacy parts and generally try to ignore them. And I’ve never bothered with the multiplayer online stuff at all.

I only play it every couple of years and burn myself out after about three days.

As I have, just now. My settlers are in Alpha Centauri. It’s 1986. It’s over.

That’s my obsessive nerd behaviour done with for now. No wait: here I am writing a blog entry about it. Not done with yet after all…
