You know you are addicted to Arm when ...

[WagonsHo]

When you feel relief upon reading that you aren't the only one experiencing guilt over pee breaks.

[Aaron Goulet]

Wondering if your pee breaks (from consuming so much water due to your air conditioning being broken and your want to stay hydrated ...) are making the person/people you're RPing with annoyed at the lapses in your replies.

They are...  Stop peeing so much!  

(J/K, I have no idea who you play.)

[solera]

Doesn't your character need them too   ?

[Nile]

You know you are addicted to Arm when....You constantly have to come up with excuses to friends and girlfriends for why you are typing so furiously on the keyboard.

I'm like a secret Mud agent or something.

[Chettaman]

You know you're addicted when the last thing you want to do before leaving for basic training is ARM and not spend time with your IRL friends. You did that today.

[Irulan]

When you get a phone call from someone important during an arm session, look at it, trying to decide if they are really -that- important to go afk for a sec, and then finally decide that you better go ahead and take the call. Type out gone, and then proceed to mostly ignore the person on the phone and continue to respond to what is going on in game. I think I've pissed off more than one person on the phone like this.

My mom thinks im always sick because I sound distracted and tired every time she calls, haha.

I do the same exact thing.

When you're not sure whether the senior banquet is worth missing out on ARM.

[Reiloth]

When you're not sure whether the senior banquet is worth missing out on ARM.

It's not. 99% of RL events should be attended over Armageddon.

[Jdr]

Think of it as an IRL RPT. Not all of them are going to be eventful, especially the 'party' ones where you stand around and pretend to plot and offer smiling insults over nibblies.

[Preacher]

You watch some Harry Potter movie with the nephews and, the whole time, your're thinking..."filthy baby-eating wiggler".

[Xeran Van Houten]

I thought that long before I ever started playing ARM...

[Old Kank]

You laugh at substance abuse commercials because, in your mind, you're replacing tobacco/alcohol/meth with "Arm."

"Nobody ever wakes up in the morning and says, 'I want to be addicted to Arm today.'  It just happens."

Screw em. If you have to pee, pee.

This.

I also get in trouble for tuning out my significant other on occasion, she seems to always want to chat about something pointless at the same time I'm in an intense battle sequence

[Lythaniel]

so i think i had my first addicted to arm experience.  Last night i had a dream that i was a whiran and someone pissed me off so i flew in above them and made them disappear.....not that i have ever played a whiran or anything but my mind apparently thinks i should!

Definitely...and my significant other plays arm! Well, he does it to me too, so all's fair.

In a small paper box:
several limply rolled tubes of tobacco

Yea, this has been happening more and more...

School is the other 1%.

Your character dies and you're kinda sad, then feel terrible because it will be at least another day before your new character is approved. Meanwhile you're all twitchy and jonesing for an Armageddon fix, and desperately, pleadingly, waiting for the email telling you the new character is approved.
Not that I'm doing that right now. Which...I am.
And not that I'm subtly (or not so subtly) hinting to the character approve people to have a look at all the people who need approving and please approve/reject right away so we can go back to the sweet high of Armageddon.

Which I'm totally doing right now.

Guilty. Though I'm usually more creative with mine:

Also: I kind of wonder sometimes about the new black moon and if/how it's connected to typing [IC] while [IC] on [IC]. And aside from that, if that particular thing is related to Tuluki caste tattoos somehow.
