Ok! There hasn't been one of these threads in a while! In the format we know and love (or hate....what do I know? ;))...here we are, delivered by a true NSaddict.

I'll start us off.

You know you're addicted to NS when...

...you know the abbreviations, locations, and genders of all the NSers you can think of....

In order to have a meaningful conversation with your RL friends, you mentally dub them NS names.

And for the unlucky one named Blue Viper, you ask her why doesn't she run around pantless in front of everyone. :D

You read all 2 dozen+ of the LAST "You know you're addicted to NS" thread.
You posted in it.
You posted more than once.
You constantly refresh General.
You posted in the new Addiction thread.
You posted more than once.
You added to the Addiction list.
You added more than once.

You added more than once.Not bad!

Here are a few more.

When someone mentions 'playing an LP' you wonder what an old recording has to do with Legless Pirates.
Your postcount per day grows from day to day.
Your version of success includes getting a 5,000th post dedication from someone.
When you need help you ask someone 3000 miles away rather than someone sitting in the same room as you.

I'm not addicted, I can stop any time I want...

You have a bodily injury and your alone in the house. Instead of calling 911 you post a topic on NS asking if it's really all that bad and if the symptoms are anything to be worried about.

I'm not addicted, I can stop any time I want...You constantly tell yourself, 'I'm not addicted, I can stop any time I want...' ;)

Quitting NS is easy. I've done it a thousand times!

Not bad!

And another:

Your postcount is more important than your SAT score.

You tell someone "I'm just going to check my NS" and spend two hours doing so. That someone is your fiance who tried to entice you away from the computer.
You accused them of plotting treason.
You don't just say how you'd think you'd be a world leader..you know because of your vast experience on NS.

When you remember writing 'when you've seen this thread too many times before' last time there was a 'you know you're addicted to NS when' thread.

You don't even bother trying to tell how long you've been on NS.
You've gotten to know people through NS just by reading their posts.
You can recall a good number of recent threads when creating your own, and it helps to avoid copycatting.
You used to read lots of books. Now you just read the Forums.
You set a post count goal. And achieve it.
You do this without spamming.

In-game: Achieving a "Frightening" Economy and staying a Left-wing Utopia is your opinion of perfection.

Role-played: Imaginary wars are more important to you than real ones.

On General: You're a member of the Cult of TInk.

...when you're walking down the mall, thinking about NS and you accidently bump into someone, but when you go to apologise you accidently tell them what you were going to post in your invasion RPG.

...You mean that's normal?*sighs in relief*

When you need help you ask someone 3000 miles away rather than someone sitting in the same room as you.

Yeah... bit odd that but hey NS people give better advice! :p

You really should learn for your final exams but you prefer to invade the Netherland ;)
