Leaving NS..... Now Taking Bets On How Long Before I'll Be Back

Well, seeing as I'm here in London, and my internet is crap anyway, and I've come to a realisation that, joking aside, I actually am addicted to NS (I used to spend up to ten or so hours a day on it), I've come to a decision to try and go for the two weeks I've got bad internet anyway to not go on NS, and then see how long after that I hold up.

So in the (highly) unlikely event that I do manage to quit, this would be a good time to apologise to everyone I've offended, but seeing as thats a large list, I'll just put in the people I think I owe the most apologies to, namely Dobbsworld, Spaam (his behaviour wasn't ok, but that doesn't excuse mine),Ffc2 (just because he trolled, I shouldn't have responded with the medley of flames and baits that I did) and just everyone else who thinks I behaved like a total prat. I probably agree with you, but still.

Anybody else here ever tried leaving but failed? (clearly if you suceeded you wouldn't be posting it here :p) And apart from that, taking bets on how long before I'm back. So, it was nice to talk to everyone, and I will try to keep my RPs going, just because of the amount of time I spent on them.

The past year of my life that I spent on NS is one I'm not getting back, but I don't regret it one bit :)

lol, I'm seriously addicted as well. I went 14 days without it (I was in Europe with choir last summer and didn't have much computer time save checking email due to the busy schedule), and came right back to it. So, good luck..NS is like crack, man. *nods*

It's big of you to apologise, and since you've yet to offend me (good luck on that, that's damned near impossible), you're doin' just fine. :p

As for bets..pfft..I say you sell your liver within 5 days to get good Net access. I'll be 3 tacos.

Yes, something went seriously wrong with you Drache, you even nominated me for Golden Poster, so I must have screwed up when dealing with you :p

And thanks Ju, I'll stop in from time to time :)

And I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for their support and belief in me. Frankly, I wouldn't say I'd last more than two days. I have about half an hour or so left, then I leave NS for good. or at least for the next two weeks

Ah, what can I say? Sanity isn't one of my strong points. *nods* :p

And remember, it's a bad idea to replace one addiction with another. First it's NS, then it's alcohol, then it's taking over small countries. *nods*

Alright guys, see you all either on Particracy, MSN, IRC, or not at all. Whichever category/ies you fit into, see you in two weeks, unless its the last one.... that might be significantly longer :p

lol, I've a friend who is on NS (I know him irl, too, but that's not as important as NS) who is seriously planning on running for President in..2035, I think. Something like that.

And why would there ever be an NSA? Pfft. I'd send all people who went to some evil mod, where they would be sacrificed for Max. So, Sanctaphrax, you don't really wanna quit...do you?
