Revision as of 10:22, 25 November 2005
You know you play too much BattleMaster when...
- You tell yourself, you can live without Battlemaster....then come back 2 weeks later, sweating, and wondering if your allies are ok.
- You wake up at 3 in the morning sweating, without an alarm, to neurotically scout the enemy.
- The only reason you get away from your computer is to go outside and take the picture that Tom asked for the anniversary collage.
- Your girlfriend has given up on trying to stop you wasting your time on such a pointless game and actually reminds you when you're about to miss a turn.
- You have not been able to log into the game all day, but you still make no plans...and sit by the computer all night hitting the refresh button.
- Battlemaster sets your curfew; you just have to be home before the turn is over.
- You go to some sort of social event, but instead of talking to people, you spend the entire time thinking about: (for the Generals amoung us) line settings, (for the Rulers amoung us) diplomatic negotiations, (for the Region Lords amoung us) which court to hold next.
- You have a ton of work to do, but deadline or no deadline, you're going to read all your Battlemaster messages first.
- You know what time it is in Germany at all times.
- You plan vacations and other trips around being able to hit each turnchange.
- Not even Tom could convince you that BM is a 'light-weight game'
- People have heard you mumble 'thank the Tom' as you scroll through you're BM messages.
- You can draw and label your realm and its regions ... or more.
- ... and you can travel across the continent without using the travel advisor or looking at the map.
- You can say at least 20 regions' names out loud without fail and be able to use them all in Military Alphabet Code.
- "Remember the Titans" is no longer a reference to an American Football movie, but a warning to in-game evildoers.
- You are dumbfounded that your paycheck is not delivered at turn change, but are thankful you don't have to drive to your capital to cash it.
- You refer to your vehicle as a Caravan each time you take a trip to the groceries store.
- Your boss is getting tired of being called "M'Lord".
- You bring your own lance and sword to the Golf Tournament.
- Turkey leg in one hand, pint of family made mead in the other ... while your family attempts to understand just what a Barony of Makar is ... and why you keep saying "Arrh!".
- You understand these jokes.
Feel free to add your own :-)
