Just out of curiosity: how much time do you spend on NS each day...on average?

too much

2 hours

Depends on the day, how busy i am, and if im bored how long....

come to think of it...i really should've made 'too much' an option :)

Couldn't say. I usually pop in, see if anything interests me, then pop back out again. However, I will do this many many times a day.

Yup. Minimum Around 2 hours.. Unintentionally. I'm always on and off (doing homework and stuff at the same time).. Hence I can never take good care of my threads and they always dwindle into obscurity. :p

Not during the weekends, but waaaaaaaaaaay too much on weekdays

There's two averages for me. Both way too much.

At home days: 12 hours. In fairness, lots of it is idling between lots of other forums and eating, but it's always there, and I always check the general forum between 1-2 minutes.

At uni days: 6-8 hours: Not under usual circumstances, but under recent ones.


Quite a while, each day, aye?

With me there's a distinction between being on uni break (hardly ever online) and during exam time (now, constantly online)

I usually have a Firefox window open on it amd mIRC connected to the NationStates IRC channels whenever I'm on the computer - which is generally when I'm at college and should be doing college work or when I'm at home and I should be sleeping. Averages out at a couple of hours.

i am on for less than hour probably each day and on the weekends im bearly in. All I do is check my issues and the threads on then I'm out. :sniper:

I usually have one or two threads open the whole time I'm online... which is like 4-6 hours a day. And the sad thing is that what I'm doing when I'm not posting here is... posting on other forums.

...

Bah, it's not *my* fault I'm on Christmas holidays and bored witless. I blame the king penguins. They're conspiring against me.

I flit between NS and to work that I'm supposeed to be doing.

Christmas holidays? what? but...how?

Usually on all day at work, but whether i am posting is another matter entirely :rolleyes:

Christmas holidays? what? but...how?
We're crazy down here in Australia. Our Christmas holidays continue right up until the 27th for some reason. Or at least *mine* do.

...

I... hope. Otherwise I'm rather buggered. Excuse me while I hurredly check my diary.

Yeah, 27th. Then my university subject starts the Tuesday after that. Sigh.

Very nice!
But then... Our spring break starts Feb. 4th, so I'd rather not switch ;)

SHHHHH! She's onto us. Nobody. Make. A move. the plan cannot be thwarted now!

Oh yeah? Well I'm only doing four school subjects a day this year, so I get two free periods per day! plus Wednesdays off.

So there ^.^

I'll probably end up spending just as much time on NS as I do currently, since I can just log in from school. And damn, I must remember to not be in the UN when I do that. Damn other people at my school, using UN nations and ruining my fun.

hmm...let's see...
monday: 1h of class
tuesday: 4h
wednesday:7h
thursday:6h
friday: no class
Considering next semester I wont have class on Tuesdays anymore, I'll only have 5h on Wednesdays and 3h on Thursdays, I'm ok with that :)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! KILL THEM! KILL THEM NOW!

*rushes away to get fireballs and flamethrowers and Black Mage and ahhhhh*

For every penguin you kill, ten more will rise to take their place! They're like the borg of the arctic! (or the antarctic, it's all pendantics, since they're both bloody cold and snowy.)
They can't be stopped. *envisions the inevitable march of the penguin horde on London*

Now I'd pay to see that.

like everybody else, too much. I'm usually doing other comp things at the same time though.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! KILL THEM! KILL THEM NOW!

But...but...but... This one will be without a mommy :(

And what about the little penguins who lose their family?

thursday:6h
friday: no class

You are so going to get pelted with marshmellows.

Well, let's see. 3 hours a day x 4 days = 12 hours of school a week. And 2 of those classes I've done before, so they'll really only require half the session's worth of paying-attention... sooo... really it's more like 3 subjects per day... or... 22.5 hours per week, I believe.

You still win. Damn.

So much envy. I must add you to my temple of sloth.
Plus the 2 hours of university lectures is 24.5 hours. Plus I'll have practicals, but I don't know when/how long they'll be...

EDIT: OMG! One of my classes is philosophy! That's basically the same as no class! Which means I have 4 hours less, which makes us almost tie! Hurrah!

Hahaha 'mad math skills'!

I had to drop maths methods because the first session in last year was like walking into a class on Ancient Greek.

No mad math skills for me. I'm actually waiting for someone to come in and go "Whisky Tango Foxtrot? Where did you learn maths? Mars?"

At which point I will stab them in the face with a frozen fish.

In the meantime, Snoopy.

Virgin penguins eh?

You have fun with that LP. I'll just stay over here where I don't have to see anything.

Yeahyeah, and a chick is a chick. We know ALL ABOUT your sordid little fetish LP.

Now, let's move on to something happier, before we all get deleted for being perverted and scary.

You know what I've decided I need? Myrth-shrine-brand blindfolds. And maybe acetone. That way I could not only avoid reading anything like that EVER AGAIN, but I could try to scrub my brain clean.

Plus, they'd be free, what with the being-in-charge-of-harem-and-so-getting-free-supplies and all.

Actually, I'm just grumpy because I spent all last night huddled in terror instead of sleeping. And I look forward to doing so again tonight.

And when I say 'look forward to', I mean 'am dreading'.

Small but firm :D

Technically, I never leave. The mods have set me up a cot and a Coleman around back of the "Anything & Everything" category. Max sometimes brings me coffee.

It's not a bad life, really, but occasionally I miss television.

Small but firm :D

Hrm. Well. I can't really compete with the small. I could lie though. Because... I mean... C cups are small, right? Yeah. I'm totally flat-chested. Really. I am.

Sorry. But you started it. Sawing off a tropical island with me and a bunch of horny penguins on it.

I wasn't the one who made it a tropical island... and the penguins I left you with weren't horny - they were evil and plotting to kill you, like all penguins.

Jesus Mahatma Christ, how did you people manage to drag a thread about how much time people spend on NS to this rather charming discussion?

Boredom and lack of sleep and lack of caffeine? On my part, at any rate.

I totally missed that. I thought they just liked it rough
