Are you addicted to NSG?

I am, it's actually really bothering me. Normally, the only thing stopping me from procrastinating is boredom, but now since NSG has arrived it just makes me procrastinate all the time! I try to leave but I always get pulled back.

Is it like this for anyone else?

Nah. I usually only take a look at the forum, then go back to real life.

I consider myself a lurker.

yes. i have so much work to do it's not even funny anymore, and yet the first and last thing i do of a day is post on NSG. i have come to he realisation though that one aspect of my personality is that i always have to be addicted to something, after quitting smoking i started to drink too much, having quit drinking i now post more and more in here, if i am to wean myself off this i will probably have to start smoking crack.

when I was in rehab we were warned that recovering from one addiction usually ends up in you picking up another

"druggies drink, drinkers smoke pot, pot smokers smoke cigarettes, cigarette smokers start eating......." I remember thinking "what happens when I deal with my food addiction?"

well, now I know........I spend 4 hours cumulative on the internet a day.

Okay, I lied. It's really bad. But it's better than watching the tube. Three years and still going...I try to leave, but I just keep getting dragged back. And each time I've got to make a new nation (really, I like doing that...I just wish it would grow faster).

I used to be addicted, but I'm okay now. NSG is more of an entertainment at moments of boredom than an addiction now. I'll bet if I tried to leave, I could. But you people are much more amusing than video games! :p :eek:

Edit: thought I must admit isketch is becoming an addiction.

Well..

It gets REALLY cold, and your heart starts beating really fast, and you can't move a muscle for 20 minutes. But you're so numb from the NSG already, you don't feel a thing.

no no, post-it notes are not classy enough for our Ruffy. We are actually putting pink heart-shaped fluffy notes on him, and I don't think we will ever run out of room on his ego, so he decided to just clean up after the body's filled after a while. I think he also injects some of the notes into himself, as he has shown earlier. I have yet to figure out how this works, but ask Ruffy. I'm sure he can provide you with a satisfactory answer. He IS the only doing the injections after all.

We should've just used Czardas' or Melkor's ego. No worries about ever running out of space with them.

I think Ruffy's either high on NSG or crashing right now, so I'll ask him in the morning (by which I mean, when I get up...which is likely to be the afternoon).
