    instead of sleeping you stay up all night working on something,
    5 minutes before you have to leave for work you are pleased as punch with your creation,
    you go to work red-eyed and grumpy but excited as all "!" about what you created,
    get home, look at it - and DUMP it...
    ...it's just not good enough...start over...
    and stay up all night...

    ask them, which leaf on the tree
    will be next to go.

    When you haven't finished a campaign in years cause you keep on just tweaking things slightly.

    You keep telling yourself its all worth while when doing something really really time consuming(unit cards)

    It turns out to be worthwhile

    When you open your PM's and E-mails in the morning and realise that while you were sleeping, your mod colleague in another time zone has done a huge amount of work that's now filling your inbox.

    When your english grammar worsens as a result of your conversations with people who don't speak english...

    You care about the interactions of people you've never met and who live on the other side of the planet more than your friends...

    You look at random objects and unconciously try to see lines of symmetry in case you need to model them...

    You get giddy over a beta of your mod that crashes constantly...

    You come to realize that whatever you do or say you cannot escape the eternal law that states that only 1 person in a hundred will actually read your mod installation instructions properly...

    The one person who does read them does it wrong.
