    So I played some team-base Civ Rev last night, and it was awesome. I have a good time in the free-for-all games talking trash and being mercenary, but it was an altogether different experience having an alley and being able to talk candidly about plans and strategies. Very fun, and very rewarding because haiku and I crushed mr.sex and dahanese. It was, dare I say it, lols.
