Fox, I don't know if this is intentional, but your ideas have two parts: a realistic part, which I find myself on the verge of doing if I haven't already, and then a bizarre part involving a bloody suicide, whch I can not quite link to NS. . . :P

When you use your nation name for all the other forums you go to... :P

Qaaol: Make that #53, and only Silver between us.

When, two days after your creation, I notice you and wonder how long it'll take for you to top Parratoga.

Heh, back when I first joined I looked at Marathon and Kitslyvannia's post count and wondered how long it'd take to top them.

Yeap, you know you've been playing too long when you see different waves forum royality come and go over and over again. But I'll be here to the bitter end unless something tragic happens to me in real life (i.e. like I die or something).

When you create a religon based upon your country's animal and you fill a jar with a pint of goat blood every Tuesday.

When you can remember back when....

... threads used to reach 600 pages
... "Last One To Post Here Wins" was the original
... Normack was the one to beat for posts
... Marathon and The Atomic Coma Ryche were still around

When you spend your weeks pay to get shirts made with the name of your nation on the front and the national flag on the back (the thought has passed through my head)

When you create a religon based upon your country's animal and you fill a jar with a pint of goat blood every Tuesday.

Good times...

You know you've been playing NS too much when you think that there's no such thing as playing NS too much!

You also know you've been playing NS too much when you've been up for so long and are so tired, you can't remember what day it is or how long you've been playing.

You know you've been playing NS too much when you refresh the General Forum 50 times or more waiting for someone to post a thread you want to respond to.

when you spend more time thinking about & looking forward to talking to your friends on here as opposed to your friends IRL

When you set up a date with someone on NS and when they come over you've put up dozens of their country's flags and when they never return your calls you launch an allout nuclear war agaist them and when you lose you go sobbing thru the streets as fat german tourist laugh at you as you wallow in a gutter shaking uncontrollably, and homeless people mug you with sporks and it makes you even sadder and so the police come and take you to the hospital as you repeatedly say, "I could of won. I could of won." Then in the hospital you lie on the bed watching endless hours of TV never changing the channel just staring blankly as your body excreats bodily fluids and the sheets are constantly changed but you rarly move, You're a dead wieght. You my still be alive but everyone knows that you're dead on the inside. Aren't you? AREN'T YOU?!?!

Hey Parratoga! Long time no see!

You've been playing NS too much when you go outside and the first thing that comes to mind is OMG, what happens if I have a war?! And then run back in....not paying any attention to the fact that you have overgrown grass and your dog is dead of hunger

Ah I know....

You know you've played Nation States too long when you former arch-enemies become your buddies, your former (fair-weather) friends become your nemesis, and you actually got someone who you had a crush on here on Nation States to travel to your nation in real life and end up falling in love with them. :D

You also know you've played Nation States too long when you have 16,700+ posts or so and now can't be bothered to visit Nation States forum because it's been taken over by n00bs and the forum is sooo slow so you have your own little forum where Beeker and Marathon are mods Clicky!

->When you actually bother to read these threads

When you remember the "Ziobia Recommends: Top Ten List" of UN proposals in the UN forum.

When you remember when the "Nuts and Bolts" category didn't exist and the Tech forum was lumped in with NS, II, and UN.

And when spam was reported though “The Getting Help Page”. So many memories... :lol:
