I once went sooner home from work (was allowed by the boss) to play SGW. My PPT was about to end and I had 200 bil out and had to bank before PPT ended lmao.

i find most 12 year olds who play the game and who are huge fans of the show take it too seriously.

isnt it great to be stereotypical

1) Do you threaten people with RL harm?

No, it's unacceptable for me.

2) do you promise “mess up their computer” or “give them a virus”?

No, it's as stupid as the previous one.

3) Do you think about ways to hurt them when you come back online, while lying in bed?


While in bed, I occasionally plot who and when to mass, but hurting somebody in RL - hell no.


4) do you spend more than $100/month on the game?

No, I never spent single $ on the game.

5) do you sleep less than 30 minute intervales so you can bank every turn OR set an alarm so you can at least wake up and bank after an acceptible amount of time?

I have no alarm set, however I do sleep only a little.. sometimes because of this game :P

6) Do you create new websites/chat services/forums etc.. soley designed for taking down your enemies

Erm...have one place as such, does that count? :oops:

7) have you blown off visiting family to raid?

My family is basically non existant (except my hubby and son, but they live with me), so you could say so.

8) Have you blown off "relations" to mass someone

No.

9) have you bought a whole new computer when your current one crapped out on you souly so you can play?

Not yet :lol:

10) Do you get all your RL mates to start playing so you can have a "team"

I got my husband to play, so you could say so :lol: Now I need my son to grow old enough so I can teach him as well :-D

11) do you have RL friends?

Only one or two. I'm loner.

12. If no to 11 are your SGW friends your only friends

You could say so in most cases...

13) do you plan world trips to visit them?

I wish :)

14) Have you trained a friend/family member/pet to bank for you?

I do not violate rules in such way :P

15) have you contemplated ways of cheating to beat your enemies?

Cheating is against my personal code of honour. So answer is clear NO.

16) Do you get your mother to give out to people when you get attacked.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but considering the fact I have not seen my mother for 3 years, probably no.

17) Have you ever given out your cell phone # in the event of emergency ingme?

No, doubt anyone would call me :lol:

18) Have you ever called someone due to an emergency ingame?

No, didn't ask anyone to give me their #

19) have you ever had “relations” with another player?

If as "relation" is meant friendship, then yes. If it's love or something like that, as married I say no. ;)

20) if yes have you ever massed your special friend over something they did to you?

No. Not yet.

21) have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of massing?

No, I have enough handy already, when I go to mass :sge

22) have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of being massed?

No, answer is the same as above. It's more funny to watch beng massed to hell when you are drunk badly :lol:

23) Do you only use ppt to sleep?

PPT? What's that? Ah, the swear word. Hell no, I don't use PPT unless I am heavily bullied onto it :-D

24) have you ever cried due to something that happened in game?

Yes. I did.

25) Have you ever waited a year just to get that guy? then quit the game laughing?

I did, tho after I get them, I'll not quit but I'll laugh... They will surely regret messing with me :lol: And yes, it's exactly one year and few days since the war between us started ;)

26) have you ever begged someone not to leave the game?

Not really. Asked, but not begged. No point in forcing somebody into staying in game they do not enjoy.


27) Do you make sure to hit up as many conventions as possible?

I wish I could. I love travelling and if I could hook myself with those I consider friends - good.

28) do you have at least 99% of your contacts on msn as people you met ingame?

In fact, 100%. I made MSN shortly after I joined SGW. Didn't use it before.

29) Have you messaged those 99% to vote for you for an sgw forum award or messaged them to click on your recuitment link for each new wave for Q?

No, why to bother mates with these things.

30) Have you ever considered to jump off the top off a building/cliff/bridge because of a war ingame?

Hell no. Wars.. what they are. Just part of the game. :)

I guess I fall into the cathegory of players who take this seriously, but then again, friends above all. Power within this game means nothing if you have no friends you could play with.

Thanks to everyone who was my friend. You know who you are. :)

IT IS A FREE GAME!!

So that takes care of most answers, RL threats are unacceptable!!! Spending money on it to get ahead is unacceptable to me personally, you guys spend all you want to. I have not spent a nickle nor made a nickle, all the more fun to attack those that do buy their way or use the game for profit.

Many of the latter ones I may fall into.

1) Do you threaten people with RL harm?

Not due to anything directly related to ingame, like being massed or such. I will however bring out the bat and go for the caps if other players go after the person behind the avatar. You took it out of the realm of the game, so shall I.

2) do you promise “mess up their computer” or “give them a virus”?

Perhaps a couple of stray thoughts about clipping Phonelines now and then. Smoosh is a QUT student after all...

3) Do you think about ways to hurt them when you come back online, while lying in bed?

In the rare occasion that I actually find myself in bed there is only one thing I tend to focus on, and she knows it too.

4) do you spend more than $100/month on the game?

Does blowing $2,000 at our SGW convention count?

5) do you sleep less than 30 minute intervales so you can bank every turn OR set an alarm so you can at least wake up and bank after an acceptible amount of time?

No, but I do usually sleep in 30 minute increments due to this wretched body clock of mine. "Why won't your battery give out so that you can die!?! Or at least allow me to install a snooze button..."

6) Do you create new websites/chat services/forums etc.. soley designed for taking down your enemies

Alas no. But I can see how that could boost their egos. Here's a thought, if your enemy is feeling down, create a webpage about slaughtering their family, it's bound to brighten their day.

7) have you blown off visiting family to raid?

I’m yet to partake in this strange past time that has chewed up the time and carpel tunnels of so many.

8) Have you blown off "relations" to mass someone


Surely you jest? May I be the first to say that anyone who has done this, I hope that when you eventually kick the bucket, that you go down real low, where the rocks grow.

9) have you bought a whole new computer when your current one crapped out on you souly so you can play?

If only I had the cash resources to do so. 4-Plasmas with separate mass windows on each... Alienware, I love you!!!

10) Do you get all your RL mates to start playing so you can have a "team"

No, my main motivation for getting fellow students to play is so that I can ridicule their pithy accounts. *Waves to Winter Wolf*

11) do you have RL friends?

But of course, who else would I regale with my online exploits. I also have real life enemies of the 'drunken on-probation after doing four years for man slaughter' type.

12. If no to 11 are your SGW friends your only friends

13) do you plan world trips to visit them?

Define world... The distance from Thursday Island to Melbourne is greater then the width of most of those European 'Countries' (And I use the term lightly) so I guess so.

14) Have you trained a friend/family member/pet to bank for you?

I did and I will never make that mistake again. Shame on you Liklik, selling my naq for ‘Pal Chunky’ money!!!

15) have you contemplated ways of cheating to beat your enemies?

Nope, but that may only be due to the fact I don't understand the mechanics behind the game well enough to think I could succeed.

16) Do you get your mother to give out to people when you get attacked.

No, I prefer to obliterate the self esteem of my enemies myself.

17) Have you ever given out your cell phone # in the event of emergency ingme?

Yes but to their credit they haven't pranked me at 2am. Yet...

18) Have you ever called someone due to an emergency ingame?

I may have sent the odd ambiguous text but I'm yet to call someone and I doubt I ever will.

19) have you ever had “relations” with another player?

Indeed. Although you’ll have to ask her for confirmation, I thought I went pretty well myself.
And for supportive testimony on another ‘relation’ you may be able to get a few of my fellow Uni mates to talk about a certain ‘Drunken Dude’s Night Out’. I don’t remember much but under my ‘Home Sweet Home’ needlework hanging in the kitchen there now resides a instant marker sentence reading ‘Any holes a Goal’…

20) if yes have you ever massed your special friend over something they did to you?

'Massed'? Is that what they call it now days? If so then yes, the Ascended Super Weapon has made an appearance.

21) have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of massing?

Ran out? Surely you fellow alcoholic have enough higher brain function left to prepare accordingly beforehand. Although I ruefully admit that I have come close on occasion I have my own still so if the levels get low, I just up the flame and let my Copper-Beauty do what she does best.

22) have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of being massed?

As per 21

23) Do you only use ppt to sleep?

If only! Perhaps if I take them as a suppository they may actually allow me to nod off... *Ponders*

24) have you ever cried due to something that happened in game?

Sorry ladies but no, I'm not that Metro.

25) Have you ever waited a year just to get that guy? then quit the game laughing?

No, but I'm yet to quit so I'm not yet out of the proverbial woods on this one.

26) have you ever begged someone not to leave the game?

Begged, never. Threatened, frequently.

27) Do you make sure to hit up as many conventions as possible?

Without a doubt, I may even sell a kidney to make it to the next one. On a serious note, take a look at the photos from the two thus-far. Hopefully they'll do away with the stigma that seems to envelop get togethers of this nature. It's not a Trek-fest people. Some of the men attending have had sex without having to get their parent's CC out.

28) do you have at least 99% of your contacts on msn as people you met ingame?

No, but it seems that 99.99% of the annoying nudges come from them...

29) Have you messaged those 99% to vote for you for an sgw forum award or messaged them to click on your recuitment link for each new wave for Q?

Never but perhaps I'm just too prideful to do so.

30) Have you ever considered to jump off the top off a building/cliff/bridge because of a war ingame?

Only if standing bellow me on the side walk was a group of CoP members. It shall read 'Multikill' on my tombstone. Or perhaps ‘His defenestration led to their defecation’


P.S. Thanks lads, that was bloodt fun to fill out. :-D

2) Do you promise “mess up their computer” or “give them a virus”?

God no

3) Do you think about ways to hurt them when you come back online, while lying in bed?

Nope, haven't really had reason to either.

Nope

Nope, several of my RL mates who play this were already playing it before me. Hence my pitiful account. Also thanks Deity for those kind words, I hate you too.

11) Do you have RL friends?

Of course, be a pretty crappy life if I didn't.

12) If no to 11 are your SGW friends your only friends?

13) Do you plan world trips to visit them?

Well, me and Deity and a few others (hopefully) are going over to the UK for a holiday, and we will see a few of our SGW mates over there, so I suppose that means yes. Louis you pikey, get keen!

14) Have you ever trained a friend/family member/pet to bank for you?

I tried, but unfortunately snakes don't come with hands.

15) Have you contemplated ways of cheating to beat your enemies?

God no

16) Do you get your mother to give out to people when you get attacked.

Dude....no.

17) Have you ever given out your cell phone # in the event of emergency ingme?

No, firstly because I'm not that desperate, secondly the bastards would wake me up at 3am. Yes I'm looking at you Mandragoran you dirty irishman :D . Shoutout to all those foundation people we freaked out by singing "Fernando" by Abba in the mass convo.

18) Have you ever called someone due to an emergency ingame?

Nope

19) Have you ever had “relations” with another player?

Yes, though Deity never called me the day after like he said he would. :cry:

20) If yes have you ever massed your special friend over something they did to you?

21) Have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of massing?

Nope, I'm always prepared.....baby

22) Have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of being massed?

8) Only really ever been massed once and that was by Hells_Angel who was after my ms. I managed to send it out for 24 hours. We had some amusing pm's.

Me writing to Angel:

Unfortunately the mothership designated \"the Black Pearl\" decided to leave this evening\'s festivities early. Sorry for the inconvienience.

Naughty Angel!!!!!

Him replying:


:-D

Was fun while it lasted.


Your an absolute champion in my book mate :-)

Nope

24) Have you ever cried due to something that happened in game?

26) Have you ever begged someone not to leave the game?

Nope, though I was stoked when Louis came back.

27) Do you make sure to hit up as many conventions as possible?

Never been to one, though I might go to the Brisbane one later on this year.

28) Do you have at least 99% of your contacts on msn as people you met ingame?

No, though a hell of a lot of them have added me since the beginning of the war (Over 100). I should make a seperate account one day.

29) Have you messaged those 99% to vote for you for an sgw forum award or messaged them to click on your recuitment link for each new wave for Q?

No, though I have recieved a hell of a lot of those links. Cheers Timmy. I have no idea who you are but you have sent me heaps.

30) Have you ever considered to jump off the top off a building/cliff/bridge because of a war ingame?

Nope, though Mandy might push me one day :D

13) do you plan world trips to visit them?
Yes... I'm a couple of months away from visiting my brother buck.

17) Have you ever given out your cell phone # in the event of emergency ingame?
Sort of. People have my number because they needed to find me at the Australian meet-up.

18) Have you ever called someone due to an emergency ingame?
No, but its been done to me before.

19) have you ever had “relations” with another player?
*Cough*

Currently within one actually. Starts with The and ends with Deity...



23) Do you only use ppt to sleep?
I used to, before I got a job... sad.

24) have you ever cried due to something that happened in game?
Pfft, I never cry... *cough*

26) have you ever begged someone not to leave the game?
Once upon a time, when I actually cared. Now I beg them to leave.

27) Do you make sure to hit up as many conventions as possible?
I make sure I organize as many as possible. Who wants to come to the next Melbourne meet-up. Can I get an amen?

28) do you have at least 99% of your contacts on msn as people you met ingame?
Sadly, and yet not so sadly, yes. My sister and my brother in law, and 1 cousin are on my list as well... but when you do the maths, its still probably 99% ... Sad.
