I heard this one back in 2002 and it was ... highly memorable. Concise and very apropos!
and then after being asked for a source:
I doubt it has appeared in print, but for five years or so it was the only name by which I knew the game. Names don't get much more informal than this!
No idea!

It's not accurate at all. How is the Three Kingdoms period ancient? It's third century AD.

Well, it's a rather informal title, and by accurate I mostly meant in the boundaries of informal titles, ie it is already a simplification of the game to begin with and "ancient China" is part of the crude simplification. Wouldn't really sound as well if you had "Kill Everyone in Imperial China". :P

Wll, yeah, but my problem is also with the "Kill Everyone" part :) Where, it doesn't really matter :)

[Q --start Unicorn Lynx wrote--]How is the Three Kingdoms period ancient? It's third century AD.[/Q --end Unicorn Lynx wrote--] Because on a global scale it falls into mid-classical ancient history. Sinologists, as you most likely know, are more precise about it, naturally; see the Imperial era of Chinese history, etc.
