You know you play SFGC when...

when you run through fleet stacks while driving to work
when you tell your boss that you will miss the deadline due to a "death in the family" and actually have to retart your empire and do not want to waste valuable research time
when you look for the number for david letterman to get his advice on the "top ten SFGC" list entries
when you pass up on nookie from your wife in order to get that last counter that you have been waiting all day for.

-When you`re a former staff member who`s quit about 30 000 times
-when you can name almost every staff member between 2003 - 2006
-when you traveled (a siginifant distance) and met other players
-when you know the real name of at least 20 staff members past/present
-when you know the real name of at least 50 players past/present
-when you actually spoke to stephen on chat

i miss the old list =(

10.when you think about space fed, you wacth all the space movies shows you can, like startrack, starwars my fav

ishmeal so when you having sex you give commands, rape dr.evil cluster cluster cluster c1

when you get the feeling that you`re turns are almost max, or can correctly guess how many turns you have for being away without looking at a clock

I get that all of the time
o_O

You spend $250 CDN on an executive office chair because you spend so much time at the computer.

My computer chair has arms. Quite comfy.

I so got to agree with EphemeralEternity.

But admit some older players dont know all the ships that well.
Modern days of GC mean lost skills.

you forget to add numbers to your list posts and your on first name terms with at least one member of staff.

:o

when you pass up the opportunity to get on the p*ss, to play this game. we are sad sad people...

when you have dreams and nightmares about your empire, like not having borders or thinking you plundered your clusters/larges.

when see or here some one say something closely relatied to a ship name or type and start automaticly thinking up ship stats and percentages that said ship will appear in said persons stack and what would be best used to counter that

when you get the feeling that you`re turns are almost max, or can correctly guess how many turns you have for being away without looking at a clock

when you reply to post like this

when you use GC terms in everyday life totally oblivious to the fact that no one around you has the slightest clue what your saying

when you actuallly start believing that your computer chair, which has no arm rest, is more comfortable than your bed and use it more frequently than the bed you don`t even know if you still have

when you go over 24 hours without even filling the urge to move, be it from acts of nature like deadly storms, ect. or for your own personal needs/hygiene ie food breaks

... when you`re too lazy to post new stuff and just post a link to the last thread about this stuff, in which you had a tonne of posts.

you try and quit.
then try again.

Then fail.

Real life catches u by the @ and u start succeeding @ quiting against the odds, well knowing that This game is a drug addiction that will keep u wanting to come back for more.

9) You see a post from GA and the Jaws theme automatically starts playing in your head.

i just had gc hardwired to my brain so i walk around and act socially normal and everything, including the sex and stuff. my only problem is having to say the commands in mid conversation.

"My god, did you hear what happened to Jeff`s sister Sally, she was murdered last night!"

"Lol, hold on, i have to counter this miner. Build 120 Galleons, Build 1000 Pinnace, Attack LordDrewski. Out of turns? refresh the page. Victory! Ok, you were talking about something really boring? i missed it."
