Okay, you're a DLVddict... Now, really, admit the extent of your DLV habit?

[Tokus*Maximus]

Okay, this thread begins in early Jan 'O9 – when DLVelopments are looking good for a new landmark version (released soon from the fiery Hell-pits where mod lord Repman has toiled in night and day to bring you the latest fix).

It's okay to enjoy yourselves. You all work hard and manage somehow to steal time away from REAL LIFE to relax, recreate and play at being a horrendous megalomaniac with thousands at y' very whim... Admit it - we've all has some terribly narrow scrapes in DLV over the many campaigns – and then snatched some pretty amazing defeats from the jaws of victory.

How has it affected your real life...?

YOU KNOW YOU'VE PLAYED TOOO MUCH DLV WHEN YOU'VE...
:: Neglected a partner, job or other hobby?
:: Several pet/s have starved to death within the household?
:: Not got up in the morning and screwed up big time?
:: Lied to your nearest and dearest to sneak a wee game.
:: Fallen asleep at your keyboard?
:: Nearly starved yourself to death playing?
:: Lost/gained weight.
:: Got grief from yer nearest 'n' dearest for your DLV fix habit?
:: Started dreaming about DLV?
:: Burnt out another motherboard?
:: Gone through reinstall HELL.
:: Stopped playing other lesser games / mods / consoles
:: Avoided that beer with the lads waaay too often?
:: Even the neo-nerds and cyber-geeks ostracise you?
:: You are discovered months later mummified when the electricity company cuts off your power line. You are discovered by your keyboard in your underpants under a pile of rancid pizza boxes and cola cans. Roaches are living in them.

:: None of the above. (really?)

Please exaggerate and elaborate fellow DLV addikz...

How about sitting down after supper on Monday with a pack of smokes, a gram of dope, and a case of beer, and when they're all gone you know it's time to go to bed?

/me needs a change in life :hmmm:

[Der Musikant]

It's sick. I think about DLV when I go to bed sometimes. I try not to think about it, and I try not to go sit in front of my computer when I can't sleep..but it's SO hard. DVL is my like my crack! How is that? Why is DLV/MTWII so addictive? I've starved sometimes playing it..sad really. But fun!

:: Nearly starved yourself to death playing?
:: Lost/gained weight.
:: Not got up in the morning and screwed up big time?
:: Gone through reinstall HELL. Especially with Vista x64!!! #!?*@!
:: Stopped playing other lesser games / mods / consoles - Guild Wars, Assassin's Creed
:: You are discovered months later mummified when the electricity company cuts off your power line. (almost there)

[Infinity at End]

:: Fallen asleep at your keyboard? ...quite oposite ... I didn't sleep at all...I have playing this mod for 20 hours(all night long)...then I got hungry and sleepy and I go to bed and now I'm starting again...I will play until tomorrow morning....

PS : I only slept for a few hours...but I'm fresh as a Battle Ready War Horse

[BamaToon]

I may or may not have done any or all of the following:

:: Not got up in the morning and screwed up big time? Wait, you mean "I want to stay home and play more DLV" isn't a valid reason to call in sick to work?

:: Fallen asleep at your keyboard? I was feeling under the weather and had taken some cold medications. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. The fact that it was 2 AM and I had to go to work the next day was irrelevant. For more information, see the above point.

:: Nearly starved yourself to death playing? How about when you eat your dinner while sitting at the computer playing DLV? Is that an option?

:: Started dreaming about DLV? Only after I fell asleep at my keyboard.

:: Gone through reinstall HELL. After I reformatted my hard drive a few months ago, the first thing I did was go online to download DLV and the latest patches for it and M2TW.

:: Stopped playing other lesser games / mods / consoles? You mean there are other games besides DLV?

:: Avoided that beer with the lads waaay too often? I just have my beer(s, and many of them) while sitting at the computer playing DLV. There's nothing like a drunken 4 AM uphill charge right into spearpoints that kills your best general and heir to the throne and leaves the line of sucession through an inbred, crazed uncle with zero command, zero chivalry, and zero piety when your current king is 70 and on his deathbed. Can you say: "Offends the nobility? What the hell happened to my awesome heir? Why is this idiot my king? Why is that cockroach shuffling along the floor so loudly? Why does it smell like piss and puke in here? Maybe I should just go back to sleep and hope my game is better when I wake up again."

Which brings me to :: Avoided that beer with the lads waaay too often? See the above.

I think it's time for a new campaign after taking a break through the holidays. DLV is like that old girlfriend that you go out with for a while, get tired of her , break up with her, then a few weeks later you realize that you miss her and you want her back. Luckily she's always right there to welcome you back with open arms.

[ivanhoex]

lol tokuz it seems you have not exageraaated enough XD!


ok some new ones:

you have played too much when some of this rings a bell...


-you jump up from your work´s chair yelling "mothfaka poooope!!! mind your own fickung business!!"

-boss finds you sleeping over the keyboard /again/

-"i wont go down!! i´ll eat right here mom!!.....
......can you get me something.... pleaaaaase?"

-"look baby, right here you see? this is my king... he cant die.. like in chess."
-"ok.. why you killed the last one then?"
-"..." "..." "..." "look! you can play sims(r) right in my phone, see?"

-"you must try this game! i tell you its freakin AWESOME!!"
-"mmmm ok ok, i might install it... later on..."
-"c mon i bet this is the hundreth time you answer that!"
-"yes.... i know.."

-too bad a headache... coz waking up looking in a monitor, keep all day doing same thing, then going to sleep after turning off the monitor... then waking and more monitor... no LCD can keep your eyes wet so long... and it becames migraine style if you are really into it..

-discovering that eyedrops do not really help... they might buy an hour or two..

-too much time sitting your a*$ over the same place means perspiration. that also means... itchiness.. then you are playing standing, or trying to get some kind of weird walkaround..

-"look... this is no longer just a game, so stop telling me to stop playing... i have MODDED this you know!"



...that should be for this one.. i wont be editing this time (xept for unwanted typoz)

[ivanhoex]

oh.. and offcourse...

-boss is quite angry at you, since mostly everytime he checks your monitor, its the DLV forumz..

Really, I am not on the forums often because of DLV, and it is not like I am accomplishing huge sweeping games where I dominate the world....

.... Instead I most of the time start a ton of long campaigns and never finish them. Never. I will be lucky to get past turn 200 before my interest wavers and I try out another faction.

I'm the same way. I think I've made it to the Gunpowder Age only once in all the campaigns I've played. My attention span just isn't what it used to be (not that it was ever much).
