When your wife is also a senior member and your kid has a nickname based on your Org handle...
When you check your PM box before your email when you go online.
You have the Org as your homepage.
:grin2: Who's that, Pape? And what's the nickname? ~;)Quote:

Hey, I do that! (along with google reader, mail, docs, calander and TWC) :laugh4:Quote:
You have the Org as your homepage.
You hear about Beruit on the evening news and your immediate thought is of a canadian timber worker....
You Dream about the ORG and how one day it will rule the internet...
You don't count sheep to fall asleep, you count Beruits.
... you don't understand why people are shocked when you say you've just launched a dozen jihads and will assassinate the Pope next year
when you talk in everyday life like you would in the Backroom.
Seconded!Quote:

You can't help yourself from issuing a pun when somebody at the coffee canteen offers an interesting, though trivial story. (Thanks Greg and Banquo)

When you go to the babe thread for your Pr0n fix.
When you get most of your news from the backroom
When you just can't beat the person above you.
when you actually say Gah! in real life.

When you use Gah and LOL in normal everyday conversation, Over 12,000 posts may also be a good indicator :laugh4:
when you wish for your friends to call you by your ORG account name.
for example ORG mods meet and call each other their ORG name stead of their real name.
Upon seeing that someone's been murdered horribly, you flinch because you know you aren't going to get the chance to post it in the backroom for four or five hours.
He is, of course, referring to the .Org....Quote:

Plenty of people say it...
No,I was not :bounce:Quote:

I confess that I do that (actually, I haven't checked my e-mail in at least a month, but I've checked my PM box almost everyday).Quote:

You couldn't possibly want your friends to do that? I think they'd trip over the name for 5 times before ever pronouncing it correctly. Conversations could go on for ages :pQuote:

Now thats sad.
Or when you consider the org your family.
When you bring up posts by backroomers at your workplaces for comedic relief.
When somebody in real life says "Gah", you reply by saying "Gah indeed".
When asked questions by a pollster, you are offended at the lack of the Gah! option.
When you hear some horrible story on the news, your first thought is : I should make a thread about that in the backroom !
And then are disappointed that no English sources are available...
Or worse yet it ruins your whole day because some one else has already posted it and stolen your thunder.Quote:

In short, I feel a frequent visitor when I don't understand that people are shocked if I praise "total war" as the best concept since chess.
:oops:

Hold your birthday party here
Happy birthday to me :laugh4: :help:
:balloon2: :birthday2: :cake: :happybirthday3:

when your ideal party is a SPAMFEST
"Orders spam for all" :laugh4:
you constantly post in this thread.
just to increase your post count
Your post count is 100+ :yes:
when your postcount is more than mine
when The Stranger is your idol
When you have been registered for only over a month and you post in this thread...
Tschüß!
Erich
When you get a polite email from TosaInu advising you that it's about time you logged out and took a break as you're bringing the server to it's knees. :computer:
When as soon as you open your web browser to search for something you somehow automatically end up at the .org instead. :freak:
When you have dreams about the .org... :Zzzz: (mentioning no names :coffeenews: )
When you're promoted to Senior Member the same year that you became a member. :sorry: (I wonder who that could be ~;) )

when it has become your home-page
When you play the game and check the parchments on your army or agents and recognise the portraits from people's Org avatars.... this spy is Banquo's Ghost, this general is Mithrandir (why's he not riding a camel???), etc etc etc
Believe me, I do see lots of you guys in my games :yes:
