I am fond of wacky folk, especially those above seven feet tall who wear wooden shoes and hit gamewinning shots at the buzzer to beat the Magic in a playoff game on Memorial Day. For example. ;)


Thanks for bringing this back up. As if the last few weeks as a Magic fan haven't been bad enough. I suppose it's back to therapy for me now. And we'd come so far.

(Completely unrelated to this, I still believe that Dutch is an imaginary language made up to troll their neighbors. They're clearly wacky folk, adopting orange for their national teams in sport despite having no orange at all on their flag?)

I just got a flashback from school, who would have known it ever could be useful what we learned way back =)
As i remember it there was a prince(or was he just called that?) who revolted against the Spain rulers of Netherland somewhere around year 1500-1600. His colors was Orange White and Blue and as the Netherlands gained their independence then the color became something of the symbol of freedom.
Gonna have to look this up though and see how well i actually remember.


I'm sure it's well detailed in the Civilization 4 Civpedia, too. ;)

the Dutch have a heritage of tolerant Calvinism, and it doesn't get any wackier than that.

I only played Civilization 1 on a friends computer a bit ages ago. We got as far as when it asked about details from the manual. Ofc we didnt have one and got to start over again xD


Yeah, I know some friends from college and I tried to get together an online game of Civ II (I think) not too long after it came out. Didn't work so well, especially as at the time most of us were on dialup connections.
