I have the GDB as my number 1 visited site.   8)
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I have the Arm main page as mine, then Blackboard.  GDB is my homepage.
Fredd-
i love being a nobles health points

You get irritated that the new Facebook languages thingy won't let you add 'mirukkim'.


Also, you know you're NOT addicted to the GDB when: It took me 5 minutes to find this thread, because I kept scanning for the "Idle OOC chatter" forum...

When you're sitting in a bar in key west with good looking chicks buying you drinks, and you're just wondering if your character got approved.

When you get booted and sit there trying to connect.. over.. and over.. hoping it will work again =P
A staff member sends:
     "You can quit ooc - or if you want I can kill <character name>, that'd definitely reset it."

when Luirsfest becomes more important than spring break.

The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

When you play for hours despite a splitting migraine.

Besides if a Jihaen walks in on you, he walked in on you. He can't be too upset if he sees your peepee. He might have a legitimate gripe though if the manner in which you use it isn't subtle.

When you swear you'd never touch the game again.. and come back anyway 2 years later. It's not even my kind of theme, I don't like the harsh setting, but hell, it's the only game in the world where the game mechanics merge so seamlessly with the RP.

Feck this game, but I can't get away from it :P

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

When this thread would make really good research material for people studying addiction in internet gaming.

Subsequently dying and rerolling characters multiple times in a day (4 or more), each as unique and awesome as the last one.

When you don't use any sort of mapping system or need to look at a map in order to move your pc around anywhere in the world.

When you stop looking at the world in terms of north east south and west and see it as left and right when traveling.

When you understand armageddon politics 10x better than real world politics.

When you know all the magick spheres and moods by heart.
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

With the exception of being rather well versed in RL politics, this thread is starting to scare me.

We should start and AA (armageddoners anonymous meetings) :(

Welcome back, yo.

When you quiet smoking weed so you can focus on response time for emoting while playing with others.

When your stomach quivers with excitement at the thought of logging on.

When you log on earlier and earlier every day, and think it's a good thing you can't stay on later so that your self control isn't tested.
