You know you're spending too much time on TAO when...

[abyaly]

your ppd is over 30 :D

[LondonJack]

...you actually care if CJS is a fraud or not ;)

[Omega_Paladin]

When you stop walking every 5 feet because you have to wait out your recovery time.

[sOOisiDal]

u step on a sidewalk block and wait 1 minute for recovery time

[LondonJack]

you're playing chess and you worry that the queen with block your attack

[xerent]

You ask for dating advice on the forums.

[sOOisiDal]

You wonder how much HP your Wal*Mart greeter has

Gee..Thanx ;)

But Jeremy B. Has a real reason to...he hates me. And thats more than I can say for any of you, except for Johnny Chimpo, who also hates me.

Heres another reason:

If you're trying to make a cool version of TAO.
If you're going to leave because some1 thinks your a fraud.

[thrdflrmshr]

...when you hear the sound of a Knight's clanking armor out of the clear blue.

[LondonJack]

you missed the point CJS, you see i don't care if you are a...

13 year old highschool student,
16 year old genius at MIT, or a
19 MIT student that can't figure out how to use contraceptives

(all of which you have posted about yourself at one time or another)

I just find it amusing that anyone really cares about you at all, or who you claim to be, that is what i meant by my little statement.

Edit for a little on topic goodness: If you ball up a piece of paper and wonder it that chair will block your LOS to the trashcan

[Tequila_Budgie]

You ask your priest if he can heal your injuries

[Jeffery]

If you begin thinking about how you could have made a much better move, after you have gone to bed for the night.

I do that ALL the time.

[Snarr]

-=LOL=- I'm way beyond that, I dream about mwhat good moves are sometimes, but when I play TAO 3 hours before I sleep and go to bed 30 seconds after I stopped it's quite nature even if wierd.

[Glamdring]

when you dream that your opponent hacked their enchantress so that it had 100 armor.

Ok, seriously... is it a bad thing that some of my worst nightmares involve invincible enchantresses?

Yeah well thats more normal then mine, mine involve scouts, I'm worried, I wish I was dreaming about enchntresses I oculd pass it off at least as normal.

[LondonJack]

The worst is when the scout shoots me from behind, and even though it hurts i smile, i can't help but feel there is some sort of hidden message there.

[Glamdring]

When you don't bother arguing with someone, because they're facing you, so they'll probably block.

[drakonfire]

u kno u've played to much tao when...


u actually have a witty reply to this thread ;)

[Glamdring]

when you reply to this thread so that you can have 30 posts, because you think something special is going to happen.

When you know that when people reach 30 posts they can change their custom user text under their avatar.

[Cephas]

Did anything special happen? I think it comes at 5000 posts, maybe Omega will tell us.

EDIT: I was over 200 when I realized that! I thought it was a Gold-only thing :confused:

[Jeffery]

When you know that someone will surely turn to flaming somewhere in every thread.

[Kronill]

when the only threesome / foursome you have ever been in, is when your assasin is surrounded on all 4 sides

[plusminus]

When you're sitting in class with the desks all arranged in rows, and you think that if it weren't for the guy in front of you you'd have a clear LOS to snipe the teacher with an arrow.

[Kronill]

when you post just so you can reach a certain number and change the name above your avatar, 33 posts and i still cant do it, argggggg :(

[Communist]

when you say 'L' 'O' 'L' instead of really laguhing

[Jeffery]

when you sit in the forums, posting on a thread as soon as someone else has.

[Communist]

when you call someone a noob for messing up

[Jeffery]

when you get pissed because Communist is following you through the forums posting on all your threads.

[Communist]

when your going to stop and he is sorry

[Jeffery]

when you begin to follow him around just to get the last post again.

[xyxaxyz2]

All these are true personal experiences... :)

When you have nightmares of repeatedly shooting an 18 hp witch on the side and having it block every single time.

When you're talking with someone and maneuver so you're facing more to their side, so you won't have to make a frontal attack.

[Wolfman]

U played too much TAO when u have your IExplorer´s homepage as www.tacticsarena.com/play

when you get made fun of for your amount of posts

[Bottle]

you fail your prelims at university. (Fortunately not happened yet. Yet.)

[Serge]

When you realize that the unit's don't have facial expressions, and are angered by this, (me)

When you accidntally refer to urself by your s/n (nvr happend to me)

[Elentari]

Someone already said this, but it's soo true. Whe I am talking to my freinds, and they say something funny, I almost say lol to them. I haven't yet, but it's a close thing.

Edit: It feels weird when people call me by my first name now...

[LondonJack]

When you are married to half the forum, hey dear ;)

[Elentari]

hey ;)...


Also, my internet was broken for about a week, and I just sat around my house moping becuase I couldn't think of a single thing to do. My friend had to take me shopping to make me feel better :D.... It worked.

I never use "lol." I think it's stupid and very overused. There are better ways to express humor/laughter.

[Elentari]

whoa there...

You're right of course, but I don't really want to sit here and think of a different way to laugh each time when a single "lol" will suffice.

[xerent]

I usually go with a *laugh*. Simple enough, and without the connotations of lol.

Sometimes I actually type it out, *laugh out loud*... to drive home the point how stupid it actually is.

[Jeffery]

you know you have been playing TAO too long when you can read, understand, and write h()()t to english translations.

[thrdflrmshr]

... when you call somebody who makes a mistake at anything a "stupid n00b."

[Serge]

I have a sister who works as a server at a restaurant, when she came home she was still wearing her server uniform. She tripped so I said to my friend who plays TAO "Server down" he laughs non-stop.

You know you play TAO to much when you know how much an attack will do to a unit no matter who the units or wheter or not the receiver is stoned. Or wheter or not you're stoned for that matter...

I tend to say lmao (like lame-o) when I go to laugh sometimes :rolleyes:

And you know you're playing TAO too much when....

You see people doing things and hear the sounds in your head.

You start seeing 3-d, matrix style animations of the scouts arrow hitting it's target.

You wake up and expect that loading noise.

[Snarr]

I almost say lol sometimes, its scary, and yeah my first name does sound wierd to me sometimes... Wow I need a break.

[Tcbb]

When you meet a new girl, say "stat " in front of her name.

when you come back to this chatroom after months of not coming and in front of your girlfriend which hates shit like this:p

[Hugh Junit]

When you are doing your banking on-line and sign in as "Hugh Junit".

you u cant sleep because of that one lucky block :rolleyes:

When you think that xyxaxyz2 wears a robe and carries a staff while having sex with his dog.

When you've read every post in the Random Discussion thread.......twice.

[Bottle]

when you know large sections of the TWS off by heart.

Actually...I saw that pic and this was really the only topic I could post it on that would go along with the pic.

When you get pissed off that people are actually posting on the forums :rolleyes:

[abyaly]

oh, i though jeffery necro'd it and i wanted to jab at him :p

when you feel the need to explain your actions on the forums :D

[thrdflrmshr]

It was only 5 days since the last post. Why is that considered a necro? He had something relevant to say.

[abyaly]

it wasnt a direct reference to him... i often necro things for my own amusement...

[Office_Shredder]

when you've gotten disconnected ten times in as many weeks! All in one sitting!

[Asmodeus]

When you eat breakfast and wonder if your going to get diconnected from cussing at how bad it tastes

[Bottle]

when the boss turns up at work and you say *can I have a dragon?*

[Office_Shredder]

When the boss shows up at work and, before you say anything, responds: "No, you still can't have a dragon."

[Bottle]

when you ask your boss when the next unit is coming out.

[Jeffery]

When you get to work, the first thing you do is log into TAO, then check your emails.

[abyaly]

when you have to leave almost half the games you play, trying to avoid getting caught at school/work

[Glamdring]

when you refuse to leave your computer and go to class because you're still in battle...

and you're losing.

[Jeffery]

When someone asks your name, and you give them your TAO name.

[Office_Shredder]

I could totally see that:
Hi, I'm Jon
I'm Office_Shredder (I need to know how to pronounce a _ now!!!!!)

[Pacifist]

_ = underscore

[Glamdring]

yes, that's what it's called but he wants to know how it's pronounced... T is called "tee" but it's pronounced tuh. Or something.

I would give it a full pause, almost like you tried to swallow your tongue in between the two words.

*waits for OS to get sent to hospital for choking on his tongue*

... ok, so maybe we'll try something else.;)

[Hydrant]

when you log onto the forums at work instead of running the tests you were assigned to run

oops

[Glamdring]

When the people across the room in the office hear the sound of the flash window opening, and say "oh no, not again," without even looking up.

[Serge]

The name thing has already been brought up OS:)

Man, I should name my son Serge, that would be awesome:D

You know you are spending to much time on TAO when you hear the flash window opening sound in your head at night...

OR

...when you see a women in a bikini and hope she doesn't paralyze you.

[thrdflrmshr]

... you use the [i] and [b] tags in word processors, instead of using Ctrl/Cmd I and Ctrl/Cmd B.

[xyxaxyz2]

When your name is on the forum 16 hours a day.

[T3km4n]

When your name is T3km4n...

[bludhoundz]

When you necro threads about playing TAO too much when they should actually cure you.

[DeadFishGuy]

(thrdflrmshr necroed this one. I say, good for him, it's a great thread!)

. . . when you are afraid your teddy bear will entangle you in shrubbery.

[ck1]

When you spend more time on TAO then you do with your girl/boyfriend.

[DeadFishGuy]

. . . when you re-arrange the candles on your birthday cake so they burn in a cross shaped area of five squares.

[roamingstorm]

when you make an inside joke on the forums and everyone knows what you are talking about

[ck1]

When you know everyones avatar and when PEOPLE COPY THEM.:D *coughroamingstormcough*

[T3km4n]

When you know, like me, that roamingstorm's avatar is a public one and not custom, ck1.

[Bottle]

When you turn on the computer and decide that the first thing to do is bump a 2 week old thread. :mad:

[thrdflrmshr]

Why do people get so angry with the bumping of relevant threads?

[Bottle]

I wasn't angry! It was only a joke, and I couldn't think of anything else to say ^-^

[Sangreal]

When you make alternate personalities.

[Bottle]

When your TAO pw comes easier to your mind than your email pw.

[Sangreal]

When you are first to 1700 on all home servers...

[Bottle]

No, that means out of everyone on these servers, I was the first to reach 1700. 1700 on EVERY server would be quite something :)

[thrdflrmshr]

There are only four servers.

[Bottle]

What about rev? And some obscure place which-died-a-while-back-and-was-a-site-which-downloaded-a-virus-to-your-computer-anyway?

[thrdflrmshr]

What about Rev? ;)

[Bottle]

I'll admit, rev is hard to get a good rating on. There are no greyjumpers to farm points off, because there are no greys :D

[thrdflrmshr]

Ratings are much more meaningful over there on Revelation.

[Bottle]

You know you're spending too much time on TAO when you see it as a matter of pride whether you have more posts than someone else.

[thrdflrmshr]

That's already been mentioned before.

You know, it's funny, because we're both respected members of this community, but the want for more posts is insatiable.

[ck1]

I used to spam for posts, but I have spent less time on the forums now.

[Glamdring]

When you see normally sensible people going post-whore for a higher count, and all you can think is "gee, I wish my count was that high..."

[thrdflrmshr]

I think it's an overstatement to call me "normally sensible."

[Glamdring]

ok, so you're neither normal nor sensible on a regular basis, but that's not the point, is it? It's an oxymoron anyways, and there are a lot of y's in that phrase. Honestly I care about as much about my post count as I do about my stats. Which is to say, I care, but I'm not going to admit it, and I'm not going to debase myself by actively pursuing an increase in either one, at least not illegitimately.

You're trying awfully hard to cover your ass there. Are you sure you don't care even a little bit to defend yourself?

[Bottle]

Hmm, that's an interesting thought... do you care more about your rating or your post count?

Oh and by the way, I'm back :)

[Glamdring]

stats over post count. I care, but I'm stubborn enough that I end up trying to prove that I don't care :P. With stats, that is... with post counts, it's more like a whimsical feeling of could-have-been. At this point I'd look pretty stupid if I started going after a high pc. :p

[T3km4n]

When you have underlying hate links in some of your posts... (http://img38.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img38&image=own2.jpg)

[cs_zero]

when ppl r stabbing u and u cant figure out why (?)
(y am i being stabbed anyway)
(u could have at least spelled my name right)

[T3km4n]

OR, when you spam a US marins and US army are leaving thread up to about 30 pages in like an hour...

[cs_zero]

When u can spam a thread up to thirty pages in like an hour.
(that dosnt deserve a stabbing, a trout slapping maybe, but not a stabbing)

[T3km4n]

Stabbing is with a knife, I'm simply beheading you.

[Glamdring]

No no, you've got it all wrong. He's actually stabbing/beheading cs_zerp, your good twin. He must have gotten the two of you confused.

[thrdflrmshr]

... when the role that you role play on the TAO forums is really what you act like IRL.

[Office_Shredder]

role play? I thought this WAS RL..... so that stack of bills ISN'T a joke...... I gotta go:eek:

[DeadFishGuy]

. . . when you stand next to a barrel of nuclear waste to get a glowing aura, so you can increase your power from any dragons you should happen to meet during the day.

The link said "Shexi me owning people". Or something similar.

[thrdflrmshr]

Wouldn't it be funny if we had a swear filter in the forums?

[cs_zero]

yes snarr had one, he was throwng old bacon at some one ina cage.

umm...were did the swear filter thing come from??

[Swartzstrom]

...when you see someone with a stick and run as far away from them as you can because you are afraid that they are going to torch you with fire magick.

[thrdflrmshr]

umm...were did the swear filter thing come from??
Snarr had shexi instead of sexy.

[Bottle]

Actually, it was called *Shexii me, owning people*

[VOID Shaolin]

Too much TAO... hmmm...

When you go to the mall and wonder if you've got better stats than other people... I used to be so competitive :(

This one especially sucks when you're with your gf and you get real defensive... (he dresses like a 750 n00b)

[Kyir]

you go to a job interview and start calling the company a clan

you start calling professional archers "scouts"

your in a fight with sombody and you wonder how much life he has left

you see a pretty girl at the mall and you run away cause u dont wanna be paralized

you run away from snowmen (or woman) thinking that their gonna paralize you

you never turn your back on a statue thinking it might teloport behind you

you start to hate halloween because you see dark magic witches all over the place

you have a termanel fear of fire hydrents (because you think they might hit u with lightning

I made that, in MS Paint, thank you. There were actually two, in the first he had CJS in a cage and he was throwing him old moldy bacon; in the second he had h()()t haning upside down from a rope.

[***Duo***]

You know when your playing too much when...

When you decide to post on the forums after inexplicably waking up in the middle of the night.

Going back to sleep now...

WOW (!) You took the words right out of my mouth !!!! :D :D :D

[Catra]

You are up at 2 in the morning reading through threads that have been here longer than you!

The only sound you've heard for about three hours is the sound of the keyboard.

People start to wonder if you ever sleep.

[Bottle]

When you actually mourn the passing of a dead thread, and want to actively fight to regain it from the grave.

[Snarr]

When you wake up 20 minutes late in the morning and you know you are in bloody trouble becaus eyou will never manage to shave, take a shower, get dressed eat breakfast etc. but the first thing you do is sit on the chair and read the TAO forums.

[Bottle]

When you start dancing around when a thread is reopened.

[Shiny Flors]

when you ask your boss to sponsor your new gold account.

[h()()t]

When you keep this thread up for months on in.

That's reading the TAO forums with coffee.... While shoving cereal down your throat.... checking the voice mail @ work... painting your fingernails, brushing your hair and to top it all off... You get so damn engrossed in a post that you forget whether you took your paxil or not. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... :mad:

[xyxaxyz2]

When you actually care what happens here.

[***Duo***]

You know when you're playing too much TAO when...

-"You're at home and you trip over your shoes, then you think...man...what would one of my clan members have said...?"

-"You look at your girlfriend and accidentally say, you are one sexy enchantress..."

-"You walk up to your collage proffesor and say...man...you're one REALLY ugly cleric..."

[abyaly]

When it's causing detriment to the rest of your life.

[ArcPaladinZero]

That should be sign enough of who spends waaay to much time here.

[truffleshfl]

When your post count is 5666.

[Jeffery]

When you quit the stupid game and still hang in the fricken forums you have started to dislike?

[ArcPaladinZero]

When you quit the game but hardcore love the community for no apparent reason. It's an addiction son! :p

[Jeffery]

But how can I love something I flat out hated?

[Warcow]

When your Not playing TAo your reading the forums, when your not reading the forums your sitting in the lobby, when your not in the lobby your playing TAO.

You forgot "and when you're not doing any of the three, you've passed out at the computer."

[imagination]

you know when your spending to much time on tao when your at a football game and at the timeouts you think you know i could make a formation based off of this.

[Jeffery]

when its 7am and you and bottle are replying back in forth in 6 threads.

[Bottle]

It's 12 noon and you should be revising for an exam at 2.30, but you can't tear yourself away from posting.

[Jeffery]

When you wake up, open the computer, and refresh the page, THEN reach for your glasses.

[Warcow]

When you dream something about TAO and FryLock, Btw I can;t remember the dream I just remember your name in there for some reason FryLock

[abyaly]

Three words: TAO LAN Party

[Warcow]

When your supposed to do a Photo Essay for english class, and you are very seriously considering doing it on TAO, seriously thats the only idea I have, anyone got anything Better I could do it on?

[Kyir]

NECROPOST, no really i love this thread so i thought it should come back

[carioca]

when u hangin out with ur crew and by the way they are in front of u, u imagine squares and how many steps u have to walk to hit each one.

[_B0b_]

When you are taking a PSAT and during the time you are waiting for the time to run out for the section, you look for all the possible locations for a scout where he can hit all of the uncoloured options (with the coloured ones as blocking LOS). It wasn't actually that boring, and much more challenging than the actual test was.

When you use tactics strategies when playing sports, such as table tennis (so if he moves his raquet one square to the right, that gives me the LOS to shoot the ball down the line and win the game, or even worse, in soccer (European Football) in defense you say, well I've got this guy paralyzed, if that other one moves one square closer and stays there for another turn or two, niether of them will have any part in the game).

[Jeffery]

When you are in the forums, and see this:

[SilverGh0st]

you know youve been playing 2 much when...

your driving your car and yousee a sign with your user name in it (ex. ,silver,) you say "what?"

[Jeffery]

Silverghost, PLEASE change you banner. 1) it is larger than 600x140 limit, and 2) there was already a long discussion on girly banners, and the concensus was it was not PG enough for the forums to have scantily clad women in banner.

[SilverGh0st]

better?

Try that banner. It is only 130 high.

[Warcow]

When you are planning your hot tub parties so that they don't interfere with high times on GL ;)

[theburning]

When you spend the entire day playing TAO and go to your final exam after not studying at all.

I kept telling myself 'just one more time'...look what that turned into. :(

[Warcow]

Hmm, if it's possible your as addicted as I am . . . Thats just unhealthy. And I should know ;)

[T3km4n]

When you suck.

I'm worse...much much worse.

I just told my friend I had to go home and get some clothes etc. to sleep over at his house.
The truth was I needed to go home and play once or twice in order to be able to sleep properly.

[_B0b_]

Now that...is definitely addiction. You cant sleep without your game or two of TAO?

[theburning]

Actually, I lied.
It's closer to 10 games.
One of which has to be an intense game.

[truffleshfl]

...when you accindently put your username on your homeowrk.

[_B0b_]

...and you dont notice that it is an accident until your teacher tells you that you havent handed in your homework.

This is perhaps to make up for the excitement you will be lacking by spending the night with this fellow? ;)

[sooner4life]

i wonder what he asked you when you went back

i know im spending to much time on here when im spinning around in my chair waiting for someone to post on a thread

[Asmodeus]

When you end up drawing TAO formations on grid paper your supposed to be using in math class.

[xyxaxyz2]

When half your posts are over 1000 words long.

[sooner4life]

when you hear the phone and hope someone from TAO is calling you

[AssassinOfLords]

...you play TAO instead of your homework.
