WitP = Wargame crack

[msaario]

Oh, one more thing, I also played while my wife was driving (coming back from a ski resort). I feels a bit odd to have a laptop open, especially if the airbag goes off!

I agree that Witp has some addictive qualities. But why attach the negative connotations of illicit drug use to such a beatiful thing?
 
I prefer this view: WITP is my now my religion. The Matrix pastors and deacons continue to support and guide me. My daily fellowship with the Congregation of Forum Contributors who worship by my side are a true inspriration to all Wargaming-kind. May PC be with you. et. al, egro, etc., amen. [&o]

Oh dear, religion and narcotics... That just begs an acidic comment... But I'm not going to make it, for the sake of forum peace.

Religion, crack, potato chips, what not... At least you don't have to keep throwing money at the problem, or steal to maintain the high. Tithe one time and the addiction is for as long as you can see and click.

By the way, until I sink an opponent's carrier or smoke some crack, I'll never know what any of you are talking about. Both are highly unlikely in my case.

Heroin anyone?

I think we'll try to arrange a carrier 'trade' instead - and since you have more carriers, how about three of yours for one of ours? [:D]

Never had heroin but I can say that there is no greater thrill than sinking an enemy carrier. The hard part is explaining to your wife why you are whooping and doing a victory dance at midnight. [:-]

From what I recall of my Psychology degree (Circa 1989) an addiction is anything that interferes with your everyday life. As I have lost many hours of sleep (because my mind was still racing planning the next turn or worse yet the bolt upright in bed at 2am as you realize that you forgot to set CAP on your carriers) I think I count as being an addict.

I can throw in my Master's degree in Counseling here. They say you can tell how addict someone is to Nicotine by how soon they light up a cigarette after awakening in the morning. If you turn off the alarm clock and then light up a cigarette (without getting out of bed). Your in bad shape.[X(]

Take that now to WitP. If you get up and first turn on your computer "before" starting the coffee or going to the bathroom so this is little time wasted on getting to checking your e-mail to see if you have a turn waiting. I think you "might" have an addiction problem. [:D][:D] Then there are those with over 3 PBEM games going at once and are doing Mods in their spare time. [8|]

Then again, there are a "few" people here with a significant number of post over 10,000. (i.e. "T") .[:D][:D]

[RUPD3658]

I have tried the Matrix "Patches" but they just make the addiction worse. [;)]

I have used SPWAW as Methadone between PBEM turns.

On my intercontinental business trips witp has been a real joy, my flights (if the battery holds or I have power) feel almost too short, and being jet lagged at a hotel at 4 am is a true joy -> 3-4 hours of pure witp.

Shhh don't tell the company I installed a game on the laptop (without admin rights)....

The only complaint is that it is sluggish after my home computer.

--Mikko

I thought that might be the case. One day maybe the airlines will allow you to load your own game into the "screen" on the back of the seat in front. Now that would be insteresting. if they ever get past the security issues.

Oh, dear. The wife's right... I am addicted.

But hey, I do wait until after turning on the computer, checking my email and going to the bathroom before having my cigarette so maybe it isn't as bad as... as... as... ah hell, I don't know!

Brad, Andy, where the hell are my turns!!!

One the way!!!! I can't wait to see how much more damage my forces can do to the IJN off Java!!! [:'(]

I start up the computer as soon as I get up. If there's a turn waiting I go take a shower while it downloads...

I wonder how my wife will take it if everytime I start WITP I start saying...my preeeecious.....I do like playing WITP in a dark room.

Do I have a problem? I set my laptop on a TV tray next to the bed so I don't have to get out of it in the morning? Gee, I hope I am not addicted.....no, that's wrong. I don't care if I am addicted.

This first step to recovery is to ADMIT you have a problem and are powerless to overcome it on your own. I guess you failed on both these accounts. [:D][:D]
