How to take the game too seriously
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2007 12:36 pm
Ok with all the posts complaining that people take the game too seriously I would like to get your takes on what "taking the game too seriously" actually is.
*Special thanks to Jamie Sheehan for helping me with this list*
1) Do you threaten people with RL harm?
2) do you promise “mess up their computer” or “give them a virus”?
3) Do you think about ways to hurt them when you come back online, while lying in bed?
4) do you spend more than $100/month 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?
6) Do you create new websites/chat services/forums etc.. soley designed for taking down your enemies
7) have you blown off visiting family to raid?
Have you blown off "relations" to mass someone? (think Bill Clinton - US President)
9) have you bought a whole new computer when your current one crapped out on you souly so you can play?
10) Do you get all your RL mates to start playing so you can have a "team"
11) do you have RL friends?
12. If no to 11 are your SGW friends your only friends
13) do you plan world trips to visit them?
14) Have you trained a friend/family member/pet to bank for you?
15) have you contemplated ways of cheating to beat your enemies?
16) Do you get your mother to give out to people when you get attacked.
17) Have you ever given out your cell phone # in the event of emergency ingme?
18) Have you ever called someone due to an emergency ingame?
19) have you ever had “relations” with another player?
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?
22) have you ever stormed off to the store to buy more beer because you ran out while in the middle of being massed?
23) Do you only use ppt to sleep?
24) have you ever cried due to something that happened in game?
25) Have you ever waited a year just to get that guy? then quit the game laughing?
26) have you ever begged someone not to leave the game?
27) Do you make sure to hit up as many conventions as possible?
28) do you have at least 99% of your contacts on msn as people you met ingame?
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?
30) Have you ever considered to jump off the top off a building/cliff/bridge because of a war ingame?
