Aww, Mood, you're such a curmudgeon. :-*
When you post in threads like this one? I guess that's more of a forum addiction.
When you realize you have nothing to do at work all day, because they have blocks the GDB, Website, and Game. It happened to me today.
When you chat up a hot chick in your dreams. In text.
When you go to the grocery and wonder where the 'list' button is so you don't have to browse.
When you stop at the local store and look for a water cask before a trip.
When you turn down a date or even sex because of a RPT.
... you've seen this exact thread three times in the past couple years
Though that may be an addiction to the GDB.

Dude, you gotta draw the line somewhere. Really.

If this is new and unless they have blocks on 'most everything, that's probably a sign that Someone is Watching You.
When you feel a change in the weather you immediately think 'the wind gets a little stronger'
When you see people in long brown coats you feel it is Ok to call the shitcloaks.
When you are on a date with someone your not interested in, and you wonder if she is willing to fade to black.
When you see a pet lizard and wonder what it would be like to ride it.

When you refrain from throwing away empty cans/soda bottles, coz you're gonna need em later on to take leaks in, coz you're too addicted to Arm, to go take a leak in the loo.

Seriously. That level of addiction just isn't healthy.
Not to be an ass or anything, but the Armageddon community, is the last place I'd go looking for advice on how to live my life. If he/she/it wants to play for 14 hours continuously, and enjoys doing it, then by all means do it, and do it well. Life is short, and meant to be enjoyed, if you enjoy doing what you're doing, then why change that?
I mean face it, doing anything has its dangers. Playing armageddon for fourteen hours straight has medical issues, what doesn't? You smoke, you get lung cancer, you drink, you get kidney failure, you go out in the sun for too long, you get skin cancer, you drive, you're liable to get into a wreck. The way I see it, playing on the computer is one of the least damaging things in life, with pollution, wreckless drivers, second hand smoke -- I'd rather take my chances here.
I had an Arm dream last night, which is unusual.
My character was backstabbed down to somewhere between lights-out and mantis. As (s)he lay there, I was trying to get an emote typed out, but I kept fumbling and making typos.
:lies here sprawled and bloody, in exactly the manner that healthy conscious people usually don't.

When you dream about it all night and don't feel like you've gotten ANY sleep.
When you spend several minutes thinking up a name for your mount. For titling it, in game.
Minutes? I spent days trying to come up with a clever name for a character's pet rock. :P
Your mount didn't come with a name?
I mean the name you title your beetle/ox/inix/whathaveyou. So you can pick it out of the bunch for whatever purposes, if you travel with other riders somewhere.
Usually when I buy a mount it doesn't come with a name. An sdesc and main desc yes, but not a name. Those I give them, basing the name on what I think my character would be inclined that particular mount.
[side question] Is there a way to name non-mounts? I have some other items with similiar sdescs and I'm constantly grabbing the wrong thing. I'd love to be able to name them so I could always grab the right one. [/side question]
... when you get sick one day and decide that you've used so many cool lines to inspire your character, that you should write them down for reference.

I just name it after a musician in the band I happen to be listening to at the time. My first character's first kank was named Geezer, after Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. My last dwarf's "cursed" war beetle was named Ripper, after Tim "Ripper" Owens, who happened to be in Iced Earth at the time.

Yes! I stopped RP-ing for a second, thinking sadly about one of my PCs best friends who had died... then I realized that it was just a character, that the player was still alive and likely playing another character, and that its all just a game.
So I took a break for a day ;D
When you check your mail just a few minutes after submitting your character app... just because there's that incredibly slim chance chat it -might- have been approved already. (I actually know somebody that got their first character approved in like... half an hour)

"As you walk in the town, you are told that spellcasting is strictly forbidden. Templa-- Clerics don't count."
"What do you mean, you want to rent a griffon? They've all gone extinct years ago!"

..when you look up the D&D rules for Zalanthan weapons.
Stone Dagger 1d6-2 damage, 19-20/x2 - 8 hardness / 1 hitpoint - Uncertain cost.
Crystal Dagger 1d6 damage, 19-20/x2 - 8 hardness / ~1.66 hitpoints - costs 2gp.
Bone Dagger 1d6-2 damage, 19-20/x2 - 6 hardness/ ~0.4 hitpoints - Uncertain cost. (Remove penalties for stabbing weapons)
Bronze Dagger 1d6 damage, 20/x2 - 4 hardness - (2*3/4) hitpoints - costs 4sp (Can be dye-cast.)
Steel Dagger - 1d6 damage, 19-20/x2 - 10 hardness/2 hitpoints - costs 2gp.
Obsidian Dagger - 1d6 damage, 19-20/x2 - 10 hardness/1 hitpoint - costs 4gp. (Adds 1/2 Strength modifier as lethal damage due to sharpness.)
(Don't ask me to post sources, they're from all over. Some internet, some hardcover book.)
Once you get Black, you never come back. I knew obsidian was better than "Mythical, magical steel." Who wants that stuff anyways? :D

When you check your mail just a few minutes after submitting your character app... just because there's that incredibly slim chance chat it -might- have been approved already. (I actually know somebody that got their first character approved in like... half an hour)
I had an app that was literally approved within the minute, once.
Heh, me too. Well, I take that back. I sent in the app, sent an email to a staffer, and before the email was finished being typed, the app was approved, and I had an email from them.

When you have a wierd fucked up dream where you're at work running from mages yet you are constantly trying to get to a computer because if you can make your arm character cast a certain spell, then in the dream reality that same spell will save you from the evil mages. In the last ditch effort I managed to get to the internet through my phone, except in a panick I kept typoing the spell words and would have to run away from the evil mages again.. I woke up amazingly frustrated and releived that I succeeded in casting the spell.
IRL, I'd fallen asleep playing arm drunk and high.. and was link dead in the middle of nowhere..

You see, Armageddon is
serious business and I don't need to go mucking it up with my half-wasted shenanigans. Just... give me an hour or two to sober up some. :P

When Arming together is one of you and your husbands favorite hobbies.
When you wake up late at night, sweating and panting, only to look over slowly at the computer monitor and whisper in a husky, deep voice, "Mansa......"
You know you're addicted when you go to a dollar store, forget what you're looking for... and start looking for a good chisel and mallet.
When you walk down a hallway, stop and look at someone and then quickly walk past them.

When an elf character joins the party in a book you've been reading and for the rest of the book you wonder why he hasn't fucked over the group or stole anything yet. At the books end when the elf is still just one of the innocent heroes without even a dirty little secret you feel like the author had no clue what the fuck she was doing.

Crap, it's become a bit of a routine - brush teeth, turn on Internet, toast some waffles, enter Arm, then take a shower during the next IC night or weekend.

When you get up and go to the bathroom and glance at the clock, then wonder where the other 6 hours of your day went and why you feel so hungry, then realize that you've been playing for that long without a break. Then cottonmouth insues, because you were playing for 6 hours and didn't even bother to get up and get a drink. So then you run to the closest fast food joint, get something quick through the drive thru, and hurry back home so you can log back on while you eat.

this summer I was at 2 pots of coffee a day. I figured I needed to cut back. After weeks of withdrawal and all that I finally started really cutting back. It took two months to be off coffee and onto caffeinated tea. Then from there I went to herbal. It has been 2 months of that then I just went right back to drinking coffee again. Now I am back to 6 cups in the morning.

Is it possible to play Armageddon and not being addicted to it? I had to stop because it was affecting my personal life and my work. I thought it might be me and maybe some other type of person can keep it under control. Is it?
It's very possible. My rule is that the moment the game starts interfering with the commitments I've made at any time before I started playing again, I log out and take a mental step back to consider my priorities. Works every time.
when I was skipping work and whatnot for WOW I quit. When I was ready to come back to it I told myself that wow had to be the bottom of the priority list. So if a friend asked me if I wanted to watch paint dry I would have to accept it over wow. it worked too.

When, at being asked how your day went, you reply: "<character name> did blah blah blah. I hung out and had a few cigarettes. When <too IC> happened to <character name>, I almost had a heart-attack, but she was totally cool with it."
When traces of your MUD client imbed into your monitor through screen burn.
When you come home from a day at the office to sit at your laptop and work on clan updates/emails for hours.

When you find yourself getting a bit drunk during intense and/or emotional moments in your character's life so you can better portray how they are... sober.
when your sitting in class and you cant find your pencil and the first thing you do is blame those damn hooligan elves.
You swap with anyone you can anytime you can on first shift so that you can be on for the peak time playing.
Then you think 'what a job fair in Zalanthas would look like'? when you are standing and talking 5 hours in a RL one. Then you think too hard and mix IG info in, and mention RL that a perk of the job is an abundance of water.
You should definitely work at camp this summer there is free accommodations, free food and an abundance of water.

You lift weights every morning/evening before playing to get in character for a muscular character. Oh well, I suppose it's good, since it encourages me to exercise. Though I'm still a looooong way before I can consider around 150 stones to be easily managable :P

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts resulting in compulsive behaviors and mental acts that the person feels driven to perform, according to rules that must be applied rigidly, aimed at preventing some imagined dreaded event; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not connected to the imagined dreaded event.

When you look at the small little drawstring bags, and think: That couldn't hold more than 20 stones.
Or: When you throw a pen, at your friend and miss.....and he looks at you and says: "And that's why throwing is a skill." (no lie, this happened tonight)
When another your character's loved ones die...
... and you cry watching the character mourning. For the 8th time.
This is so pathetic. Like watching some sappy movies. Only I don't like watching romance and never cry during them. Not even in Titantic!
Well. I had my first Arm-nightmare last night, which must officially mean that I think about the game too much.
In my dream, I received an e-mail from the staff. A HUGE e-mail. The e-mail was a list of every command I had entered in a 48 hour period with a one paragraph analysis of each command, whether the command was done according to the rules and the standards of good RP, and blunt suggestions for what I should have done instead.
Issues much?
Sheesh.

I had a dream, a few months after playing, that my first character got killed. I wound up walking through this grassy park and talking with Sanvean as I was walking. She explained that I could get the character rezzed, but when she came back she'd be a whiran/vivaduan. I was like 'Oh, neat, I bet I could have fun RPing the breakdown -there-.'
Well, we keep on walking and just across this little bridge I see her sitting on the grass, hair streaking down in her face. She's looking down at her hand in horror as water pours out from her palm and then the wind picks up until it sounds like it's screaming as she sobs like a baby. I turn to make some smartass comment and Sanveans gone and suddenly I -am- my first character. I get scared to death and wake up amazed.

When you hands tremble when you narrowly escape any almost death situation in game.
When you convince your entire family over the age of 16 to play.
(thats more of an Arm cult)
When you go out an find a job that allows you to play half the day two days a week, and all day and night the other five.
(and still pay your bills)
When you figure out how to make arm pay for your real life. (still working on this one, but it may happen)
TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!

...when you dream of rats and wonder 'what am I doing in the 'rinth?'.
When waiting for a Mud email you dream of checking your freaking email account!
When you start referring to casino chips as 'sids.
When a guy tries to convince you the end of the world will be nucular war, and all that will be left of the planet is a desert wasteland ... and you think 'Sweet'.

Dude! You didn't get back on the sauce, did you?
When you spend more time and effort cooking IG than you do IRL.
I travelled to another settlement for seasonings and picked some rare food of my own for the ride back.. at the same time IRL I heat up a pizza pocket so I have enough time on arm to make sure my pc makes it to his hometown before dusk to cook his new foodz.

You know you are addicted to the GDB when ...
When you need to refresh the GDB while totally nekkid and just out of the shower, before anything else.
..when you wake up at 1.40 AM after having a dream about your character, then write an update to your clan imms. Also, if you end up typing up entries in a character's biography while opening Notepad++ to take notes.
Bonus points if you haven't played Arm in 13 days :P (withdrawal symptoms, probably)
When you log into arm before you even know it.
Before I realize it, I've logged into my character and am talking to his boss. When all I wanted to do was print off some homework.
...
When you notice that two days have been added to your character timer without you even realizing it.
...
When you wake up in the morning and have to sort out whether you are your character or not.
When you suddenly realize youve been on for 48 hours sraight......
I'm going bed...
When , like I just did, you hang up the phone and say "shade" instead of "goodbye" ;D
When you hook up an IV, insert a cathature, and pop uppers too stay awake.... To fake an accident at work so that you can get disability and never ever have to stop playing arm, ever again...ever, ever. To clone oneself and work in shifts....YES ARM...*drools*
When you realize you've been staring at the same line of text for an hour while waiting for the game to reboot.
When you realise your skillset is the same as guild_assassin.
When you seemed suprised after opening your front door.
When you see PC and don't think personal computer. No, no. PC ONLY stands for player character. Inventory of all the PC's totally means he got immed and looked at every single PCs inv. Yup. Make sense.
Quote from: Moofassa on March 12, 2009, 07:35:12 PM

When you are offered a job that will switch you from shift work with 7 days off out of 14 to a Monday to Friday job and one of the most important considerations on taking the sweet new job with huge advancement potential and long term benefit is that it will seriously reduce the amount of time you get to play.

As common as this is, this has been happening to me lately. I log on at 10-11pm, play for a while, chat with some friends, whatever. Suddenly I look at the time, and its midnight, and I say "Wow, this is getting exciting." and then by 3am I'm going "Woah. What did I DO for three hours?"

I have typed who only to find I was the only PC in Zalanthas. Sometimes this would last for an hour, sometimes almost two. It has happened about 15 times to me. Now... I don't know what's up with that, but it's happened. Maybe I just found a whole new level of offpeak. heh.

Then spending the day in a uphoric state of alertness, and dazed tiredness that washed the body in these warm tingly charges as I would pass out and walk up to keep playing and eating..
Yes, Arm is that way for me... each time I have a day like this in game it brings a viseral feeling of those childhood days.. so much I can even taste the day in my mouth.. oh wait thats the wired coating I get from waking and sleeping and waking... and being thirsty.. oh Ha ha.. well figured that one out.

This is bad when your boss finds his name on the list and it looks like this:
The balding, chubby man - Roger Stevens - My boss, wants me to write up a report on how shopping for clients can be included in their rehabilitation. Bit of a jerk. Snogged his wife at the christmas party.
When you decide to go to the club, and think >Forage hottie.......
You search the dancing figures and find a monstorous horror
craft Horror
With a few more shots you could create:
A slim blonde figure
A slim redhead figure
A slim brunette figure
Craft horror into redhead
You begin downing shots of anything you can find.
KoI passes out and when he wakes up, he finds that the horror has stolen his pants, his wallet, and tattooed a picture of half-giant penis on his forehead.

Starting at around 9pm last night I played until I was too drunk to continue, idled until sobriety only to play into the wee hours of the morning.. still drinking. It's 10.30am, and bedtime fellas, ladies. My character is still alive and that in itself is a feat worthy of a badass breakfast before I nod off on the couch.
The word 'Fuck' has entirely left my vocabulary.
Luckily, 'Feck' has replaced it.

Also, Tandu steaks taste somewhat marrowy, like the inside of a chicken bone.

Didn't take a photo of playing Arm in Thailand?

p.s. maso is a girl? pics or shens.

You just get more and more upset knowing THIS person was responsible for the death of one your characters.
Hah, rogue, I let out a lol at this entire post.
I'm really confused now.
Who did I kill?
EDITTED TO ADD:
I'd also like to know why it's upsetting. :(
You killed me. Remember that time when we had sweet, sweet mudsex, and you just backstabbed me in the heart? With your words.
[rerail] You know you're addicted to Arm when you go to the uni library to play Arm, on a weekend, just because they don't have a firewall.
No lie.
When you're on your way to work and see a landscaper pickup on the road in front of you. The lawn mower in the back has a sign on it that says "WP1040" and you think to yourself, "Hmmm. WarriorPoet makes lawnmowers?"
WarriorPoet does everything. He probably makes lawnmowers too.
I bet WP owns lawnmowers.

Here's a weird one. Some spam mail I'm getting recently is related to my PC's sdesc and updates. I wonder where the hell they link my PC's sdesc to my email? Especially when I don't put that email address anywhere. ???

That's actually really scary. Unless the staff are selling our info for moneyz (to buy brainz).

You know you're addicted to Arm when you wake up on a Sunday Morning and you think,
"Okay, I'm going to have a lazy day today. I'll play Arm for an hour and then do my laundry, and maybe grab some tacos later for dinner."
You log on to Arm. You begin playing. Sixteen hours later you realize that you're still playing and that it's almost time for bed and that you didn't get the laundry done and you've forgotten to have dinner altogether (and lunch for that matter.)

When you wake up at 3am because you can't remember if you logged out of the game.
Go and check the computer only to find that your PC is dehydrated and starving at -8 hp and dies moments later. You are upset of course but go back to bed.
You wake up at 5am and decide to put in a new app before work, log in and cannot find the create new char option and it takes a full five minutes for you to realize that you had dreamed the death.
Nothing else compares and you (albeit fleetingly) wonder if you can breastfeed and roleplay at the same time.
Your character gets an echo of having a headache, and you spend 10 minutes staring at your computer wondering if that's the same instant your RL headache got started.

Anyone who would play a
fantasy game filled with butt-ugly characters that smell like dust and sweat would easily turn down sex :P
I have never turned down sex to play Arm.
I have left immediately after sex to rush back to my place so that I could save my character when I remembered I left him idle in an outdoors room.
I came back to an entire screen of starving/dehydrated messages, unconscious... but he lived, oh yes. I got the secks too.
I gave up after sex cuddling to play arm. Win and win.
You e-mail in some new craftables and that night dream your character was crafting them.. log on in the morning to find alas, you have yet to make the spiffy new item, nor do you even actually possess that skill needed to do so. :-\
I dreamed about getting approved for the noble app. :-\

I sleep at work because I didn't sleep at night. It's Armageddon's fault.
Olgaris is the reason why I'm not allowed to speak to girls.
You dream about Arm (Full text, computer screen, and keyboard), imagine discovering something new to you, but believable in the Armageddon universe, and brag about it to everyone in-game until you realize that was a RL dream and play it off like it was an IG dream.
Use Krath or Drov in a real life conversation unconsciously and confuse someone because they have no idea what you're talking about.
When you die in a dream, and instead of waking up, you think, "Damn, I spent all that time grinding my skills and I was just getting started with the cool stuff. Well, time to roll up that Tuluki ranger I've been wanting to play," and the dream continues.
Even though the dream before and after the death had nothing to do with Armageddon.
When you're at work, and you suddenly stop in a panic and think "Shit! Did I log off, or am I just standing there in the middle of Zalanthas hanging in the wind for all to see?" *calls wife* Check Arm!!!! ::)

Hey now, stop trying to steal my lines, I have done that for my last 2 deployments. Or how about when the generator dies and you are the first person to run out screaming no, and its not because its hot, its becaus without power the net is down and that means no arm.
When you're annoyed about going on vacation because it interferes with your character's plans. ::)
You have a dream that concerns all the usual weirdness a lack of sobriety offers and in the dream you go to.. Immworld. Apparently in my mind this is an actual place. It was like a college dorm and I was welcomed by all the imms and a few arm buddies, everything was Japanese themed, either bamboo and painted green or glass, the place was awesome and for some odd reason I remember looking at a gigantic rumor board/billboard that towered over the imm dorms (they had no ceilings) and the last thing I remember reading on the message board before waking up was: No more Alabaster crafting recipes will be accepted, we're attempting to phase this out. thx

If a staffer does it, that means its ok!
I play IRE games and I constantly try to use Armageddon syntax in them (like 'give thing person' when their syntax is 'give thing to person' explicitly).
Alternatively, though, I sometimes mindlessly type 'qw (quick who)' and 'ql (quick look)' in Arm, so it goes both ways.

I do this when I'm in msn, Aim, and Yahoo, and most recently, did it in a converstation on FB.

I play IRE games and I constantly try to use Armageddon syntax in them (like 'give thing person' when their syntax is 'give thing to person' explicitly).
Alternatively, though, I sometimes mindlessly type 'qw (quick who)' and 'ql (quick look)' in Arm, so it goes both ways.
I used to Play IRE, then a fellow player told me about Arm, I Logged one once since, and that was to hand all the crafting clans I owned over to someone, about two weeks after I started Arm, haven't looked back.
A foreign presence contacts your mind.
Sometimes I get rather giddy when I see that.

Heh, well, to clarify further: I wouldn't want a second shift, full time job because of -that- and because I'd 1) never see my fiance (first-shifter) and 2) my current musical efforts would grind to a halt. But, yes, it is a little troubling that Arm factors into that as well. ;D

You think about ending your character just so you can talk about him/her in a year.
You're in the middle of moving at night and you stop in a neighborhood to steal some internets for an hour so you can arm for a bit.
You travel up and down the west coast of America visiting Armageddon players, for three weeks, and not pay for a room once.
You have a dream about discovered a new accent that no one has ever heard of before, in addition to a new race, that somehow speaks sirihish so of COURSE you can totally understand them.
So weird. I think the accent was like Seperia or something. They were furries.
Yes, I KNOW where you people are going to go with this. The answer is NO, it did not go there.
You get to play the same Arm scene twice.
Once in game..
The second in your dreams.
It was wierd.

There are periods where I cannot do ANYTHING for 20 minutes. They've interrupted RPTs I've tried to plan, and regular low-level outings. Playing a combat character makes this SUCH a daunting experience, though I have to believe the staff would be soft-hearted considering its outside any one locus of control.
I logged out, played a game, watched a movie, logged back in, and got disconnected. Its like being on dial-up all over again, except I still hate it.

Hahahaha. Arm-addict, cure, none. Sustainable doses may vary.
A large part of the reason you move is because.... now my PC can actually log in with their clannies and I have a stable internet connection.
When you start noticing things like player favoritism and people doing things for OOC purposes.
When you are sitting in your kitchen, playing Arm at midnight and some drunken kid comes flying out of the complex across the street in a stolen car, smashes into your car, bounces off that car, into your wife's car, pushes that car up the driveway and wrecks half of your garage.
You jump up and rush, swearing, outside just in time to see him back up and to tearing off down the street.
And your first thought after swearing...Shit, this is really going to cut into my play time tonight.

COMBAT SPAM
I assess chars A B C D E F G etc 158 times
MOVEMENT SPAM
COMBAT SPAM
I fire off a ridiculous, over the top combat emote 273 times

MOAR COMBAT ;D It was a fun time.
Not-so-Random Armageddon Thought: I really like fighting unit-type NPCs in big battle RPTs. It gives you total license to emote out how you're slaying them, one poor bastard at a time.
I had a dream a few nights ago where Laura got job offers as a Respiratory Therapist in Atlanta, GA and Houston, TX.

I've actually wanted to know what it's like to skin an animal in real life because I seriously find myself skinning alot of things on Armageddon and I'd like to know wtf I'm doing.
When you take a year off, come back, take another year off, come back again...year after year...
Zalanthas won't let you go that easily.

Heh, needless to say it's very time-consuming work (never again will I finish skinning in animal in 5 seconds on Armageddon). I don't consider myself a skinning expert by any stretch (I'm sure there's much more quicker and efficient ways to skin an animal), but if you're wondering, here's what it was like:
(
Disclaimer: I don't think I need to even say this, but skinning isn't the most glamorous work, so if you don't want to read all the details of what skinning involves please skip this post. The details aren't intended to disgust, but rather, inform, so I won't go light on the details to help you envision it better.)
Basically what I did was make a cut from throat to anus (note: the skin is tough so I had to use my blunt knives in a sawing motion, just imagine how much more difficult it would be with stone tools), then remove the intestines (and the rest of the digestive system), then livers, kidneys, heart and lungs; animals, while they may have entirely different physical characteristics on the outside, tend to have pretty similar layout on the inside, so even though I skinned three different species of animals all their internal organs were in predictable locations... the main difference been the kangeroo had a HUGE digestive system compared to the rabbit and wombat (something to do with its diet I guess), and had enormous muscles around the legs (don't wanna get kicked by a living one, right?) On the kangeroo, I noticed blood clots (dark, almost black splotches of blood) indicating some spots of where the blunt trauma from the car collision occurred, and it seems like the kangeroo died a painful death (two broken legs, multiple blood clots), but the rabbit died instantly (apparently you can tell by looking at the eyes).
The removal of the organs were easy enough , although the smell from the intestines were unpleasant and a massive swarm of flies started swarming the carcass, the flies were everywhere (all the carcasses I've skinned smelt bad, not sure if it was because I accidentally punctured the intestines or if they always do, but either way try not to puncture them). The first time I skinned a carcass (the wombat), I never had the problem with the flies, so I assume it had something to do with the age of the carcass (be sure to skin an animal ASAP after killing it unless you can store it away from the flies to prevent them from ruining the meat), or the weather. Or both. I cheated and used sprays of water to flush out the carcass (both from fecal matter as well as flies), not sure how a Zalanthian hunter would deal with this problem, but if the flies are already on it I doubt the meat is worth eating anyway (obviously I didn't attempt to eat the road kill).
I sawed around the organs with my knives, cutting off the tendons (or whatever they're called) connecting them to the rest of the body and pulled them out easy enough. The harder part came from separating skin from muscle and meat, and the removal of the limbs. Basically, to remove the legs and arms, I cut away as much muscles, meat and tendons as I could, then grabbed the limb and twisted at the joint till the bone popped out of the joint (don't bother trying to cut through the bone, especially with stone tools, you've got to pop the joint out then cut off the muscles holding the limb to the rest of the body to remove the limb). The head was also removed (you've got to snap the vertebrae column, cut through the windpipe/muscles/etc. until it comes off, although if you're skinning with an axe - which is possible in Armageddon - lopping the head off should be a breeze).
Next, to remove the meat from the skin, I carefully cut away some meat and muscle from the skin (if you want to keep the skin/hide, be careful, the knife can easily slip through the meat and puncture your beautiful animal hide). After most of the muscle and meat was removed, I could grab the skin and with my bare hands, rip some off it from the meat (I got the skin off the rabbit perfect, though sometimes you might need a hide scraper to remove some clinging meat/tendons off the bottom of the hide, which I didn't have).
After that, on the kangeroo I cut the tail off (my knife went through the tail easily - all the tail contained was some meat and what appeared to be some sort of nerve cord thing). Then stripped the skin off the tail (made an incision along the side of the tail then tore the skin off with my hands) and removed the meat with my knife, cutting it away from that cord thing. Then I cut off any other meat remaining on the carcass and hung the hide up to dry.
And that's all there is to it. Be prepared for the possibility of your neighbours thinking you're a complete nutcase (reckon they might have already thought I was eccentric though), and enjoy your hard-earned meat.
Hmmm...might try...
Poke a hole through the skin just under the sternum with your knife. Insert two fingers from the other hand into the opening, and lift. Place the knife blade between them when you cut down to the crotch. Make sure you go not only through the hide, but through the muscles of the abdominal cavity as well. Remove the guts. The intestines shoul pretty much spill out. Be careful not to puncture them. More importantly, you really, really, really don't want to burst the bladder, which actually will stay in at this point. Strip the feces back away from the anus in the last part of the instestine, then cut it.
Cut the hide up the chest to the neck. Cut the hide around each of the ankles in a circle. Cut the hide in a straight line on the inside of the leg from the ankle down to the chest/groin. Starting at the ankle, cut/pull the hide away from the flesh. If it is lyring on its back, you should get to a point where all you have is the backside to skin. String it up if you can, cut around the neck, and pull/skin down. In general, the fatter the animal, the easier to skin. The blade should actually face in at the flesh a little, rather than right at the hide. Run it sideways along where they meet, pulling the hide.
Once the hide is off,you can cut away the head at the neck. Time to remove the bladder. We saw through the small bone in the pelvis (from the great big gaping hole in it side). Then cut it the anus (and depending on sex, other genitals) and the bladder. Normally we then halve it, cutting down the backbone. However, unless something is bloodshot, you punctured the intestines or you got it dirty skinning it, the carcass will be clean. How clean? Often we don't even wash it out, just leave it to dry a bit before hanging it in a cooler. Butchering it comes later. You can either cut the meat away from the bones (which is what I do) or you can saw through them like at a supermarket (which is a pain in the ass).
At least, works for deer, sheep, rabbit, cattle. Not sure about scrab.
That's..crazy. No one had a problem with you doing this? If someone came across somebody skinning roadkill here, they'd freak out and call the cops.

Oh, I didn't stop in the middle of a highway and start skinning a carcass there and then, heh, I skinned it back on my property. I guess if anyone saw me they rather didn't care or thought I was just a hunter harvesting meat from their kill (I live in a small town, and hunting isn't exactly unheard of in these parts... so...)
As I didn't do the killing myself (all animals were beyond help) I didn't infringe on any laws or hunting restrictions to my knowledge (heck, the cops were even informed of the dying kangeroo but there were no animal welfare services in the area to come and provide assistance, so I claimed the carcass for myself). I just used the carcasses for educational purposes rather than letting them rot, so I think I got the legal and ethical high grounds.
And thanks for the advice, Twilight.

I'm sure that you know, as a medical student, books are adequate to impart everything about cutting into flesh and blood.
I'm sure that you know, as a gamer, you don't need to know everything about cutting into flesh and blood.
Damn.. I won't ever be an addict.. Even though I don't need to work right now - my year-old project has been completed, accepted and being readied to be sold, other folks will sell it for me - I have spent the last two weeks
- Cruising aimlessly with my wife and kid
- Trying to teach my one-year-old daughter numbers 1-10 in vain
- Trying to teach her the commands 'give', 'take', 'come', 'fetch' etc.. Mostly succesful
- Composing a whole frigging CD of my daughter's favourite TV commercials - the little bastard hates cartoons but loves commercials.
- Practising for a clubber dance competition with my wife for the new year's eve - the chubby, brush-like moustached man is here wiggling his bottom - yep we WON, yep I'll send the movie of my winning dance if I can get my hands on it.
.....
Now I'm getting worried. I love ARM more and more every day and I fear if one day I'll not find the locomotive force to push me away from my computer. Are you _serious_ abou some stuff written in here? Like, moving for only better connection for ARM?
Not entirely, no. I actually had a couple of damned good reasons for it. But my favorite thing about the moving was the better connection.

I had a horrible dream a few nights ago.
I woke up to my brother panicking at my computer (I sleep right next to it.) I look over, and I see the beloved Mantis head on my monitor! I check my email and see that my latest, greatest character is indeed dead.
I wake up, immediately roll out of bed to check, and I find that my character really did die. Furious, I stomp off, wake my brother up, and confront him about it.
..then I REALLY wake up.

I'm going to take this a step further, because I just realized the other day (much to my resentment) that I'd spent 2 hours in the car listening to the radio and focusing my mind on nothing in particular when I
should have used that time to draft a plan for my character to achieve goal X.
Soo...
You know you're addicted to armageddon when you feel like you've mismanaged your IRL time by NOT contemplating possible solutions to an IG problem when you had the time!
When you feel you should be paying more attention in class or when someones talking to you because the staff might be watching.
When the same DVD is playing on your TV in the background for long periods of time, since every time you restart it to actually watch the damn thing, you somehow end up on your computer playing ARM.
It's like this magnetic pull or something... Perhaps there are wigglers around here, teleporting me back and forth...
Damnit, I dreamed (what is the past tense of dream, anyway? Drempt? Dreamed? IDK) of Arm last night (well, Arm / Wow Hybrid):
Me, a mul sneaking through a wizard's tower (like all those broken tower graphics in Wow), get caught in a cage, escape, sneaking around, find wizard, stab him in the chest with a paintbrush I found laying around, killing him.
It all felt REAL good.
LOL.

You know you are addicted to Arm when three days after returning to the game, your sleep schedule is already completely messed up.
I can defiantly relate to this.. It's called going to bed at like 4/5 am and not waking up till 1-2pm lol then doing the same thing again >.<
But people are online from 3pm-5am EST! That's the best time to play. Other times everyone's sleeping. :-D
Yeah best time to play for us Uk'ers is from like 10/11 pm onwards.. Whenever I try and log on during the day here there's like a whole 6 people playing in the world haha

Its worse for off-peak players in a non-american timezone.
I sometimes set my alarm clock to an impossible hour in the morning just to way someone important, then go back to bed. The shift between staying up till 3/4 AM OR getting up at 6 in the bloody morning is what messes up the sleep schedule the most. And no, I didn't do this before I returned to crackageddon. :P

BWAHAHAHAHHA!! We're in England (me and Zeia) we can relate entirely. We went away for a week, bed about 1 am, up at about 10, every day, then we get back.....and BOOM! 3-4 am bed, 1-2 pm wake up.

When once a week you have a serious, panicky thought of the the owner of Ginka might just decide he doesn't want Armageddon no morez.
I was reading some (real life) news after playing a half-giant, and I caught myself
wondering which parts I was smart enough to understand.
i've been sitting here refreshing my inbox for the past two hours straight, willing to get that reply e-mail.

But seriously, I wake up at 4PM, turn my computer on, log in, do about an hour or two of manga, open cMud and play ARM, sleep at 7AM.
When you brag to your friends at work about what a great time you had last night playing arm..

QFT
When you are now debating on staying logged in even after 14 hours playtime - just to try and stay awake until sometime in the afternoon so that you can RESTART your attempt at getting on a regular sleep schedule.
When you fix your crazy sleeping schedule by -seriously- arming it up.
When you play Armageddon from -Iran-, while everyone else is out rioting. :D
When, after just a week of playing, you get off your chair sleepily at 12:00, go to the refrigerator, pour a cup of water and then pour it out into the sink since it's warm, and while doing that you suddenly think, "Shouldn't waste water... there's probably not enough water for my character to do this...".
The entire time you're playing a rather high-powered role in another mud, you keep tabbing back to hit f5 on your email inbox and check the updates page to see how many apps have gone through on another tab.

you know you're addicted to arm seriously, if you feel obligated to be apart of people's IC lives because it's the IC thing to do.

Oi... does she have a seething hatred for this game. I was once told that every time she sees me playing it... she feels like punching me in the face... I told her that that attitude would fit nicely in this game.
Unfortunately, she will -never- play, or punch me in the face... (TOO MUCH INFO! ;))

While playing the game someone IRL tells you something is going to happen next week, and your mind automatically processes it as happening tomorrow.
when you tell your friends OOC I'll be right back I have to run to the ladies. I did this two days ago...then got all sorts of what does OOC mean questions.

Which I do of course...
I experienced a recurring element in this thread and had a text-based dream of my character getting PK'd.
It was pretty upset. ;)
Huh...I do have text-based Arm dreams fairly often.
I wake up, possibly write up a character, and ... 'Oh, I guess I didn't die to that [something involving the color yellow-orange and fungus]. Oops.'
I had a dream a few nights ago in which Arm players were hosting player gatherings, and then killing the attendees in ritual sacrifices to Ginka.
Think about that all you Dragoncon 2010 people.
When you:
A) Have a dream that an Arm player (not their PC but actual players who you know only through GDB and/or mutual aquaintance) are calling and waking you up in the middle of the night for emergency pizza and extended Arm marathons..
B) You woke up this morning, went from a soft pillow directly to computer chair, sat down, logged onto Armageddon, THEN went pee before your bladder burst and got breakfast, etc. Or you didn't leave your soft pillow AND logged on, if you have a laptop.
haha, I've actually been woken up past midnight to this...
"Hey, Lewis... bring your laptop and some beer over so we can "arm it up.""
Good times... good times. :D
I just wanted to say thank you all for "arming it up". It's really funny to me.
You know you're addicted when dammit. spend all day on the computer!
You know you're addicted when you do things IRL much like your character.
good and bad.
You know you're addicted when you check the GDB every ten seconds -AT SCHOOL- to see if somebody responded to your post.
You're addicted when you spend a good two hours picking out your new avitar.. I like to switch it up for those who haven't notcied.. I've been Kenny Mcormick, I've been Sarah Goldfarb, I've been several self-made southpark characters, I've been Kenny's ass cheeks on a milk-box with a "missing" postage beneith... I've been a ROLF-copter.. and a I'm currently following a hillarious show called Pure Pwnage. which my current sig shows a few clips from.
Damn I love this game.. will it ever end?
I hope not.
Your significant other.. who doesn't play Armageddon, probably knows more about the games lore than 75% of the playerbase just from hearing you ramble on about characters and IG politics.

That reminds me of the other day when I was telling my fiance about what had happened to my char, I only recently started playing again so I haven't told her a whole lot yet. I told her that my char was being threatened by another char over the way and she was like "What a jerk! You should report him! Thats not nice."
I had to stop myself from LOLing and hurting myself from ROFLing.
My friends always ask how I'm doing in Arm when I visit them. Sometimes we have 15-minute discussions about recent devlopments with my PCs. 3 of them would like to play, but 2 lack time and one lacks english skillz. :-[
Wow.... to everyone who hung out at the minirpt: That was hilariously, hellaciously fun.
I had my first vivid Arm dream last night. In my dream, I was sitting in a small, wooden room at a desk with a dim lamp burning and I was trying to read a scroll. But as I read, the words kept not making sense. (This is standard for dreams - it's possible to "read" in dreams but if you attempt to analyze individual letters you will usually have a difficult time in the dream). I sent a message over the way to someone, saying that it was weird but that I was having trouble reading. The person I was waying responded with, "Really? Isn't difficulty in reading a sign of the onset of poison?" In my dream, I looked down at an empty cup of tea on my desk and then was filled with this overwhelming sense of dread and the strong realization that I'd been poisoned and numbed so that I couldn't move away from the dagger that was about to slide into my back. As something sharp slammed into my lower back ribs, I snapped awake with a complete adrenaline rush.

Was sitting up playing oblivion all night and was discussing a past mage I played on arm with my lady for a good portion of the night.
I fell asleep to have a dream that I was arming and playing that mage, I typed 'list' at a shopkeeper and the Oblivion spell buying page popped up full of 100's of new spells at cheap prices...
I woke up, immediately saddened that I was no longer playing that years ago mage and that my spell list of 123912039 unique spells was no longer existent. :'(

Me and Kevo are at the gas station today and I come outside after paying for the gas while he's pumping it.

Me: "This better not be a joke."

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

They are... Stop peeing so much! ;D
(J/K, I have no idea who you play.)
Doesn't your character need them too ?
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.
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.
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. :o
My mom thinks im always sick because I sound distracted and tired every time she calls, haha.
I do the same exact thing.

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

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

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.

I think I posted this before... but when I was deployed I would imagine I was in the Byn on mission in the Labyrinth.
emote proceeds slowly down the dark narrow path, eyes flicking from recessed entrance to rooftop without pause as the only light to show the way ahead comes from the dull glow of the moon above.
emote slows his steps, squinting ahead at a distannt shadow-clad figure.
emote slowly moves to a lowered combat stance as the shadowy figure approaches, his eyes tensing and strained while the leather covering his hands creaks from a subtle preperatory motion.
The shadow-clad figure steps forward, approaching with a broad, youthful grin and a wave of his arm.
The shadow-clad figure says, in high-pitched broken english, "Mister, mister! Chocolate?!"
emote facepalms.
think I wish I was playing Arm right now.
Edited in: Mister should be read as 'Meester'.

I'm a wannabe poet. I have a degree in creative writing, I'm planning on going to grad school for poetry, I'm a crazy pipe-dreamer, so on and so forth. People know this about me, and are interested in it. I just got a new job that has a two-week training process, and I've gotten pretty close to the 45 other people I'm training with. During lunch breaks and other down time, I take out my notebook and scribble down lines and rough drafts of poems. People sometimes come over and ask to see what I'm writing. I shake my head and say, "No. I'm sorry, but I'm very particular about not letting people see my unfinished work." I hide behind the smokescreen of the stereotypical tempermental artist.
Little do they know that all the poetry I've been writing lately is in-character, written for a quasi-bard character I'm planning. Hopefully nobody will get bold and steal my notebook, or sneak a peek while I'm in the can. They'll likely be very, very confused.
Now it looks like an uncircumcised penis.

I use this excuse frequently. My logic is, 6 hours of sleep, or 1, I'm still going to be tired as balls.
When you have a really neat trip planned, it is going to be a lot of fun, and you are really looking forward to it....and the one thing that is keeping it from being perfect is the lack of reliable internet connection...and that *really* bothers you.

Really glad you are back playing again, man. Where are all the colors?
...when you make character after character saying, "Okay, this is just a casual off-peak throw-away role," and you keep ending up attached, involved and terribly depressed when they die.
Designs of proceeding characters exceeds characters played up until the current.
When you come back after a 2.5 year "break" due to life, and still consider it just a "break".
Speaking of... I'm Back.

You know you're addicted to ARM when you get a spam email from Barack Obama asking you to "get in the game" and vote Democrat and your first thought is "I should probably do what he says and log in, just in case there's a RPT going down."
You have a free, non-working day unexpectedly and you spend nearly all of it playing. I have tunnel vision right now.
You find yourself fantasizing about carrying around a giant bone sword.
Or having fell arcane powers at your command.
Or a vast network of employees, hired assassins, and political favors.
Damn, all my characters have cooler lives than I do.
When you look at your keyboard and see that the letters on a few of the keys are starting to wear off...

Anybody else find that this is the case with their keyboard or am I the only one who looks obsessively in all directions before going off on my way?

Mine are lit by LED lights, but if they were fading it would definitely be the macro keys, not my directionals.
You end up daydreaming about fancy combat/social emotes for your character half of the day.
The other half you spend playing Arm.
No time for sleep.
Ah! It happened to me yesterday.
I saw a little old lady walking down the road and I say, in english, "Look at that gith over there."
Its not the praise from your boss, a windfall, or an unexpected hug or smile that made your day. Instead, you ended up chipper because you got a player kudos.
When 80% of your game time consists of solo RP, but you still enjoy logging in every day.
And you used to HATE solo RP.

Which reminds me. Send more kudos! I got one recently for a long said and done character the other day, and it positively warmed me up to the idea of actually PLAYING again. Maybe.
... you have a dream about your current character's death, and upon awaking and realizing it was only a dream, you let out a thankful sigh.

I started playing Arm when I became bed ridden after ACL surgery.
I am still recovering, but I can go outside and such, can't run or anything yet. But I have put on a few pounds since the surgery, and being on Arm non-stop isn't helping.
So today I built a desk that I attached to my bike. My bike is on a trainer so I can use it as a stationary. I play arm while cycling now.
It is that bad.
The game. You win it.
Oh, you also wyn at Arm.

On my HTC I downloaded an app from the market called AndroMud.
Looks almost exactly like GMud, and after a day of entering new 'words' like ldesc and my account name it works flawlessly... only issue is that I can't see the scrolling text while im inputing a new command.
When you miss your two favourite TV shows that you watch EVERY week, twice in a row, because Armageddon required your presence ingame at that particular time.
When you look at someone's cool cane and you ask to see it. You analyze it and find out that you can make that item in real life.
My addiction to Arm began with the realisation of permadeath.
I used to play another fantasy-MUD. It was okay, but there was a big problem. A clique of players essentially ran the game, had total dominance, and were total dooshbags. You couldn't get rid of them, the staff were seemingly unwilling to do anything, and it ruined the whole thing for me.
Disheartened I went looking for another MUD.
*cue heavenly motherfucking lights beaming down*
I found Armageddon. At first I had to warm to it, it was rough to get into it, but I just went for it and kept going.
Eventually, a moderately successful character of mine made an enemy. We competed with eachother for some time, both being quite adversarial to eachother. I began to loathe him.
Then, I won our struggle, and he was slain. I then realised Permadeath meant my victory was forever, no respawning, no level loss then come back in five minutes. He was dead, buried, toasted and finished.
I knew then Armageddon would never be the game allowed to controlled by a handful of players forever. Sure, some have power, often for a while. But -everyone- dies in the end, somewhere, somehow.
I was addicted to Arm when I realised it was like no other MUD, that Permadeath rocked, and I crushed my foe and didn't have to worry about him ever again.
Amen.
I realized I used to be HOPELESSLY addicted when I looked at my account notes and realized my first few characters totaled to 7 days played over a 26 day period.
May seem insignificant, but that's just over 1/4 of that entire period. I slept 1/4 of that period too (6 hrs a night, give or take).
I don't know how I did it.
So.
... when your time played completely baffles you.
Was hooked with the whole permadeath. Now I can play a killer and actually kill a pc without them coming back with a ton of friends.
Now I got to work on keepin my charries alive to do that!!

I know the feeling well. I had a place like this and after a few months away because I was deployed, I came back and it had been taken over by other (hostile) people. Had I been there to stop it... blah.
You get dirt on yourself and think:

You play Arm before and after a 12 hour shift at work.
You try and explain it to your partner but they're just sat there like 0.o cause they don't play it.. But you still tell them anyways.

However, I do fully endorse FW playing more Arm.
It's in a zip-lock bag, duh! ;)
Zip-loc bag or not, it can still get condensation just from temperature changes. I've seen many a cell phone have water damage that have been locked in a person's glove box or even just taken into the bathroom with them during a shower/bath.

I don't get that... more like Morrowind, with the ashlands and the dark elf tribes and all the chitin and bone and glass weaponry and the ash storms which look like sandstorms and all the reptilian wildlife. Mmmm, Morrowind.
How I know I'm addicted to Arm: I wake up every 2 hours to check and see if it's back up, when I should be sleeping to go enroll in school later in the day. :-X

Every single time you see something, anything discarded on the street, you want to pick it up because someone, somewhere is going to be willing to give you a couple of sids for it.
Whenever you think while rough housing with your buddies...
You deftly parry his attack.
bash man [with a powerful punch to the gut!
and then you get irritated that you can't emote while bashing. But luckily this isn't ARM and you really -did- knock him over with a punch to the gut. But while everyone is cheering you on and laughing, including the hurt guy you're more concerned with not being able to emote while fuckin' shit up in arm and can't wait to post it on the GDB. Yeah. That's right.
I went to sleep last night feeling like I might be getting sick.
This made me happy. :D :-\
When I get up, log on, stare at the screen, feel like I don't want to do this.... I know I'm too sick to go to work.
I thought in emotes for a few moments once.
You figure that as long as you raise your hood while you head to McDonald's, no one will recognize you.

I once broke the bones in my right hand in 5 places, completely ruined. What did I do on my way to the hospital? I swung by the house to grab my playstation 2 controller, why might you ask? Because after surgery when the doctor molded my hand into a cast.. I asked that he leave my first two fingers and thumb free and mold the cast so that my controller fit easily into it. Be damned if I wasn't playing PS2 for 6-8 weeks. What makes me even more awesome for the pit stop, it was a compound fracture. I'm pretty sure it was a bad call to waste time on the controller.

You find yourself motioning out your character's gestures and reactions, just to emote more descriptively.

About a year or so after I started playing ARM, I had the compulsive urge to wear a pack, at all times, when travelings - With atleast one water bottle.
It just seemed... "Normal", to me, at the time.

When I was in highschool, I had a friend that more or less dropped out to just play Armageddon.
I myself took a hurt to my GPA in university because I was focusing on Armageddon.

This somehow got into the non RAT thread. *boggle*
When you look over your wardrobe and wish you had what your character was wearing.
When you do custom voice-over for all your characters using a variety of accents.
When your thoughts literally:
think, I need to pick up milk on the way home
When you lament having so much time before the birth of your baby to play Arm and realize for now all the time you have is just enough to post a few times a day on the GDB!
Lame. I wanna get back in game, dammit. 8)
(I'm kidding. I mean. I don't resent my baby or anything. I'd just like to play a little bit again. :<)
When you're playing Scrabble and you see a very limited list of letters by the standards of the Dictionary, but you still manage to think up a couple of words from the Zalanthan world - especially truer with the lower number of vowels in your tile-stand! Seriously - try this out - you'll see immediately what I'm talkin about.

Hey, won't be long.
Once they are off to school. Left home.
I've had this exact conversation when showing someone arm:
"How can you tell what's going on? I couldn't possible read that quickly." (referring to various scrolling room description/say/emote spam)
"It gets easy after while. All I see now is brunette, blonde, redhead."
You know you're addicted to ARM when you end up in the ER all Wednesday and spot a cabinet that says LINEN CLOTH while you're there... and your first thought is: "Finally, I can improve bandagemaking."

On the other end, when you tell your fiance he isn't playing enough. Mostly because he pesters you while you're trying to play. ::)
When you can't connect to Arm, and you REALLY want to play.
When you lag your butt off and and you REALLY want to play.
The email.
Everyone knows the feeling. Every time you see (or hear) that you have a new email you get this swelling excitement in your gut. Anxious, you bite your bottom of your lip as the webpage loads, then sigh in disappointment when it isn't from your beloved ginka.
You log off and realize you're not only starving but you've been on 6 hours and you now have one hour to get dinner started before the husband comes home and your ass is cluessless as to what to make.

You just got back from a long hiatus and I've been binging ever since, it's been four days, I've slept three hours.
Actually, maybe it's been MORE than four days, they all start to blur together after awhile. I now dread when PCs ask my toon when IC events happened because I can't rightly recall if they were yesterday.. or the day before that...or even less recent.
Taking advantage of a liberal check-in policy at work to stay up till 2am RPing woowooot.

You know you are addicted to Arm when the lag monster eats the website, the MUD and your character, but you refuse to log out so you try to punch a hole through the lag monsters stomach from the inside and play the game at the rate of one command per minute... :o
You call in sick to work because you feel like taking the whole damn day to play, and then a lag issue occurs and you get so angry about it you go buy a bottle of premixed margaritas and get shitfaced out of spite.

Unlinked the other post. It's unclear what you're referring to. Odd as it may be, if (by some chance) you do have a dream about Armageddon that does indeed come true/or contains IC information in it, maybe you should keep it to yourself and not share it with everyone until it is appropriate to do so.
Noted.
When you die and come back the very next day. Sometimes I feel like that damn cat.
I'm currently in a lull of activity in wedding planning, gaming group, and social life. Lately I've been thinking I could use some variety to my life, maybe a few more social events...
... then I think no. Variety is overrated. I will enjoy my Arm time while I have it :)

During slow times at work you pull up the online dictionary and write down descriptive words for various actions and make up a cheat sheet since you suck at thinking that fast when in game and need to glance at it to come up with half decent emotes.

Half a sleep stuffy with some sneezing, but still locked in the dream sense, thinking I better send in a request for reimbursement.
Sneezing my sleep awake further to realize tissues fell onto the floor.
I guess I better cancel that request.

You have been playing for 45 days and 8 hours.

I was being a smartass, but I'm a little amazed by some of these figures. I've had regular suspicions about my playtimes, and they are being crushed like black hole materia.
When you buy a new house an it doesn't get internet so you go and buy an air wifi card so you can play armageddon.
Aaaand I almost did that. Back to reality. But 4g is king. I got five on it
When you start adding words like Salarr, Kadius, Dasari, Borsail, Driamusek, Krath, Whiran, Zalanthas and other various phrases into your Word (or comporable program) dictionary becuase you are tired of seeing the squiggly red line of mispelling. It's not spelled wrong; you're just not hip and cool, Word. Tsk tsk.
Addiction is a serious thing, and not something to laugh about - this thread offends me!
Unless the thing you're addicted to is socially acceptable and morally right then it's okay to be addicted to it.
Touche, I didn't think of that - continue then... here maybe I got one...

You really want to play but no one around you is on so you sit here and stare blankly at the screening logging in a few mins waying a few people to see if they are on yet...and hitting refresh on GDB every few mins to see if anyone said anything interesting. (em goes off to see is anyone is on yet.)
When you may and/or may not be on but wonder if this person will way you just to see if you are on, or randomly way an sdesc and get you.

When you think about doing something iffy in the game, log out and take a nap, and immediately dream about a staff member posting on the GDB about how obviously stupid you'd have to be to try doing that iffy thing in game.
You categorize RL drugs by the spice IG with the same effects.
...your spiritual beliefs are based on the workings of ginka.
I'm currently convinced that my player is multi-playing or hasn't had enough time to log in because little is going in my life lately, and I've spent a lot of time sleeping.
I'm serious, though. I truly believe that I have a player, reincarnation works like creating a new character, the age of accountability is determined by when the background ends and when the character starts being played, etc. I've spent a lot of time determining whether or not this is logical, and despite a few discrepancies between the microsm and macrosm, I believe it is.
Maybe I started playing too young, or there's something wrong with me. I'm certainly not telling my therapist about this.

That is an interesting take on reincarnation. Which by the way is a major Hinduism and Buddhism both of these religions are in the top five practiced on our planet and have hundreds of millions if not billions of worshipers (Hinduism is often the largest practice religion in the world just due to massive over population in India)
Anyway just because you use games as analogy for your personal beliefs does not make anything wrong them. I certainly believe in Karma and the Saṃsāra to some extent.
Whatev..
I just finished overhearing some drama filled conversation two people were having and made me glad my thoughts are mostly on video games.
...you can't find any PC's on, and desperately wish someone would invent Arm the game IG.
When you fall asleep while still logged in every night only to wake up with your character famished the next day.
Brrr it's cold. Oh wait, I got that red scarf which I can wear-- wait... I got that on Arm. -_-
Your significant other looks at you and asks fairly regularly....
"What are you nodding at?"
"What are you shaking your head at?"
"What are you furrowing your brow at?"
And you have to admit every time, "I was just miming my character's emotes, and I didn't realize I was doing it."
She catches me constantly.

Hah, I've totally experienced this. Though it wasn't death by police car, just many other crazy ways. The good part: Realizing it was just a dream is such a relief.
Strangest dream ever.
I can't remember much from the beginning but my house went up in the air (a la Up the movie) and I tried to keep up with it. After days and days in the air it landed into the city of Suk Krath where I discovered I'm a Krathi.

You have been playing for 36 days and 13 hours.
Mind you I've been going insane at work, well with hours. Lots of idle time spend doing things though.
Server work mostly. Luckily I can work and play, though sleep seems to have lost me, :(
I think I understand why characters come out of seemingly nowhere and kick my well-established pc's ass now.
Ya'll got about 32 hours in a day, apparently.
Yes. Actually, I spend -most- of my time these days just RPing with other people.
I've stopped liking the non-stop training marathons. What I need is a montage.
I start having a panic attack when I realize I can't play for a while... I think that would be bad. But I seriously need to break my addiction.

I'm not sure I follow. Merriam-Webster defines a junkie as an addict. So would you mind sharing your concept as to the difference?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/junkie
Sure
an Addict is someone who needs to use frequently or may feel withdraws in consequence
A Junkie is someone who will continue to use faaarrrr beyone the feel or need for more, solely because it is available.
(even when it's not readily available)
Hope that helps?
Addict and Junkie are synonyms but as perfecto points out junkie is usually used when the addiction is taken to extremes.
(http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2944312.ece/ALTERNATES/s298/Nigella-2944312.jpg) Nigella is an addict.
(http://www.greenvilleultimate.org/uploads/947/media_items/team-swan-team-photo.272.371.s.jpg) Skinny Pete is a junkie.
Hope the illustrations help.
As a farmer who busted his ass every single day spring/summer/fall, now that it scarcely gets above freezing, I take great pleasure in smoking my produce and playing Arm probably far more than any of y'all.
Heh, I am so remote that I have not had a single face to face conversation since last Monday. I have not even seen another human up close in a week, and the only real words I actually spoken were to my mom yesterday, when I called and wished her happy birthday. So, I unrepentantly play a ton of effing Armageddon. Prisoners in solitary confinement probably speak more words than I do.
I'd like to think Jeremiah Johnson would have done the same thing if he had internet access ;D

So Kronibas would be a junkie in more than one way.
Heh, junkie is usually a word typically reserved for people who can't keep from sticking needles in their arms... so no. That word makes me cringe a little.
Though I've known a few people I would possibly consider "over-enthusiasts" when it comes to what I think Kronibas was talking about, it also happens to not be physically addictive (well, unless he's a tobacco farmer). Not sure junkie works there, or even addict... Although, I do understand you were likely trying to make a joke.

Correct. Junk is slang for heroin. Junkies are heroin addicts, not other addicts. I think the words you're looking for are "strung the fuck out".
So there is no such thing as a Arm Junkie then. They would be addicts.

You know you are addicted to Arm when... You've played for twenty years.
As of this month, I've now play Arm for 20 years. I'm guess I'm hooked? It was also super slow at work today, so I calculated what race and guilds I'd played over the last 20 years and coverted them into percentages. I'm averaging 2.15 characters per year.
Guilds:
Rangers: 32.5%
Warriors: 16.3%
Sorcerers: 14%
Pick Pockets: 9.3%
Assassins: 7%
Nilazis: 4.6%
Suk-krathi: 4.6%
Psionicists: 4.6%
Merchants: 2.3%
Templars: 2.3%
Burglars: 2.3%
All others: 0%
Races:
Humans: 32.7%
Muls: 18.6%
Elves: 11.6%
Half-giants: 9.3%
Mantis: 6.9%
Dwarves: 6.9%
Halfling: 4.6%
Half-elves: 4.6%
Gith: 2.3%
Other: 2.3%
One day I'm going to play a Whiran...
Other races? What do you mean by that?
I remember hearing some folks got to play as a gortok, or a rat, and one was a sentient Gaj or something in the distant past.

Really cool how you did that, man. Would be neat if there were an automated way to see.
Also... you have been playing Arm longer than some players have been alive. Holy fuck. I know I have been playing since before some of them could speak. Ummm, shit.
You keep checking the GDB when you should be wrapping presents.

In 2009 there was a role call for Halflings and it was the one role that I really considered storing the fun, lecherous Trader Tarquin for. I submitted an application, received some of the Halfling documentation to flesh the background out and polished it off. Unfortunately I was also switching between ISPs and had some period of internet outage. When I managed to submit the polished application I received this kind response:
Quote from: Tzurahro the Unquenshable
Greetings,
Alright. We are not going to go forward with this application. You made the cut, and the concept is fine, but we have gone ahead and filled the available open slots in the meantime.
That being said, I will tell you that if one of the newbies gets creamed quickly here, we'll allow you to slip on in.
Having an awesome character to continue playing made me feel happy with that response but when the halflings were gone I was a little upset I wouldn't be able to dust of that character for another try.

When I was a kid (I started playing at 16) I played burglars and sorcerers pretty much all the time. I tried each of the other elementalists that were available, but didn't really stick with any of them.
These days I mostly play either merchants or warriors. My merchants are really violence prone, and my warriors are really subdued. I like playing characters that are bad at their chosen occupation, but good at things they don't give a damn about.
That's the other reason I don't play rangers. They're good at eevvvveeerrrything.

Rangers really aren't good at everything... Like the help file says. They aren't as good at fighting as warriors, Aren't as good at poisoning as assassins, aren't as good at healing as physicians. Sort of a Jack of all Trades, Master of None type.
"Good" at everything. Not "great". :P

Being the 2nd best qualifies them as "good"
Also, rangers actually are the best mundane healer in the game. Subguilds are never as good as main guilds in their respective specialties (except linguists because no main guild specializes in linguistics).

Uh, they're the best riders by their guild doc, the best archers by their guild doc, the best stalkers of the desert. So, yes, they are really good at -everything-.

These days I mostly play either merchants or warriors. My merchants are really violence prone, and my warriors are really subdued. I like playing characters that are bad at their chosen occupation, but good at things they don't give a damn about.
That's the other reason I don't play rangers. They're good at eevvvveeerrrything.
Rangers are terrible at being bad at things.
Rangers really aren't good at everything... Like the help file says. They aren't as good at fighting as warriors, Aren't as good at poisoning as assassins, aren't as good at healing as physicians. Sort of a Jack of all Trades, Master of None type.
Uh, they're the best riders by their guild doc, the best archers by their guild doc, the best stalkers of the desert. So, yes, they are really good at -everything- [that matters].
Rangers are EZ-mode. They're too middle of the road for me.
Next on the hate cycle: are rangers TOO good?
i c wut u did there fantasy
Close quarters combat matters, but for the range game, a ranger can't be beat. It's their -job- to be the best hunters in the desert, and they are THE hands down no contest BEST hunter guild for desert hunting, and some of their skills may even translate into the city as well.
Animals should flee like crazy when they take an arrow. That way hunters would actually have to track and hunt, instead of sitting there popping a stationary object full of arrows.

I think that'd make hunting even more fun than it is already!

Either flee, or aggressive animals should try to detect where the arrow came from and go after the person shooting at them.
^ so much yes. You can sorta emote/pretend that's happening but it'd be much more fun/challenging to have the critter flee for a room's worth.
Having them flee more than 1-3 rooms would just get annoying without a bloodloss code or higher damage archery though.
When you're counting the days and sometimes the hours or even the minutes before you can play again.
Or when you think in IC time.
I just want you to know, if you fire arrows at certain aggro mobs, they WILL eventually turn and start coming in your direction.

Find out in game, enough said.
You dream about using the 'skin' command on players in real life... when you're NOT playing. ;D
You send text messages including ^me, !me and #me.
You come back from your most recent break and think, ah, this is why my evenings have been vaguely boring and dissatisfying even though I have many other super cool video games.

And using their catchphrases.
*bitches to everyone that he is bored to death and can't wait for classes to start again*
*classes start again and spends his whole time playing Arm instead of studying*
You spend all your time counting down the time until you can get your next fix.

You have a dream about your current character that is completely IC and appropriate and you decide to use it as such. Then it happens again. I wonder if there'll be a third.
When you almost use "my two sids", in a e-mail.
You laugh at ever single Arm related Valentines Meme and laugh at every single one because you understand them all too well. You look at other Valentines Meme and shake your head.

Probably already been posted already (or quite a few times) but...
When you get a high-end laptop with sharp graphics, then just play ARM.
When you spend nearly $100 on console games, then just play ARM.
You /know/ you're addicted to ARM when you have real life things to do, and you're late to all of them.

I think that's how you know you're paranoid :P
In the old days you kept turning up a day early for RPT's because you weren't used to working with the date line. Now you turn up a day late to appointments because your head is permanently stuck on the Server Time date.
Which reminds me, one of the few days I have ever been late for work was when I was sparring with an animated generic NPC. I sometimes wonder what goes on in other people's private lives.

Last week, ayup.
Dreamed I had died by falling off of a cliff. Woke up super scared.

Yup, a few times. Very recently, I even went through most of a day thinking it had actually happened.
The relief when I got home and went on was...wow. Almost made the misery worth it.

Three or four times. I'm curious to see how prophetic they turn out to be.
I check my emails for the: Oh hey, looks like you herped a derp! email in the morning, turns out I don't die anywhere near as often as I'm expecting to.
I stay logged in on my phone all day at work. Just because.
I play Phoneageddon, people. That's how bad it is.
Armageddon on your thoughts is surely nigh,

I try to do this in several other games I play, Elder Scrolls and Fallout being shining examples.
"Oh, my follower is gone, I'll just Way them real qui- Fuck me."
When I used to play IRE games a ton I used to 'say' things to people on AIM/skype. They thought they were being funny when they would 'say' things back to me. Jerks.
When you think about your character problems, failures, and few successes all the time even, when not playing.
When I message people in Trillian I often start with psi
Well, I guess as long as you're not saying 'say' before speaking out loud in real life yet...
Not yet.
say (tapping away at ^me keyboard furiously, scowling as ^me fingers make loud rattling noises) Yes, God damn it, the Parthenon!
When you text someone an Armageddon related text message (this morning, about ten minutes ago), and they reply making you realize you have the wrong person, but you continue to text them about Armageddon anyways thinking this might be the start of a new player.
(They weren't interested.)

ROTFLOL.
.. You dream of the PCs you interacted with in a modern world setting. Going out together for some korean bbq at some river side bar/restaurant in your home country.
...April fools gives you a smile because you get to see Pikachu.
You log in after a long long long time, intending to just putter around for an hour for shits and giggles, and then end up with a pile of plot potential somehow filtering your way, and then cannot stop playing even though you said to yourself you wouldn't... because heck you will probably die doing this or that anyway.. might as well.
Ha ha ha.

When you read almost all of the post/treads in your clan forum or another forum. And wonder what as stayed and what has changed.
You thread Necro the "You know you are addicted to Arm when..." thread, cause you wanted to post how addicted you are.
This is the only thread that is acceptable to necro. That's how addicted the thread is to the game.
When you are trying to post on the gbd from a phone while sitting in your sportscar smoking a nice pipeblend in a seventies handcrafted briar pipe. God damnit. I feel so decadent.
When you stay up for 24 hours straight, get smashed and come down and still stay up, crushing through GDB threads and staying logged in for most of it. The new pink Floyd album just takes you there.
