Too Much BattleMaster

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.
• When at work your boss says Morale is low, you suggest visiting a swanky bar for 8 hours.
• 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 miss your bus/ferry in the morning because you just had to get your fix before going to work ...
• You "roleplay" in game characters in real life. Your friends ask you to consult a psychologist. The psychologist says you are suffering from schizophrenia. They started to investigate the cause of your case. Soon they found similar cases occurred worldwide. One reknowned psychologist is writing a PhD research paper, titled: The link between Schizophrenia and the browser game Battlemaster.
• The best Christmas present you are going to get is more turn changes during a day, wrapped with another continent to play in.
• You know what is going to happen in the Game but you are still sweating out of anxiety, waiting for the turn change.
• The word - and concept of - “God” has been replaced by “TOM”.
  • ...and "God's love" means TOM said "Love that idea!" when you proposed the YKYPTMBM list.
• You believe Santa Claus lives in Germany and runs a game called Battlemaster.
• You understand these jokes.
• While on the computer, every 5 minutes you check your family page just to see if anyone has replied to your question, you asked the realm.
• You are late to lessons/lectures just becasue you just need to see the turn change
• You buy a TV tuner card to watch the football or basketball game from you computer, so you don't miss any messages.
• You call long car trips "two turn moves."
• You dig trenches around your house "so your men feel safer."
• You call criminals "infiltrators."
• One of your characters have been wounded, you grab some bandages and yell, "I can save you!"
• You miss work and blame an undead invasion.
• For the next election, you hire a professional speechwriter for your campaign.
• When you go to your new job, you insist on calling your boss the Ruler.
• If you get pulled over, you apologize to the policeman and beg not to get banned.
• Halfway through the week, you demand the ability to "Check Payday".
• When a financial emergency comes up, you ask the bank to call an early tax day.
• When you're stuck in traffic, you are able to amuse yourself by scouting the neighboring cars.
  • ...and then you call up your boss and give him a scout report.
  • You blame infiltrators for your travel delays
• You wonder how much CS your country's military has
• You think the way to raise workplace cohesion is to periodically yell, "Hit it, you weaklings!"
• Your friends need to talk to you, but instead of calling, they send you an OOC message.
• Your roommate needs to talk to you, but instead of talking, sends you a Role-Play.
• When your sports-team loses, you criticise their line settings.
