How long do you play?

[Von Nanega]

It's always the same.

I go and sit behind the pc.

I start the game.

I look at my watch and I think, ok, at 11.00 PM I'll quit, take a shower and go to bed.

I start to play.

I look at my watch again: 00.30 AM

Hm, off to bed without taking a shower.

The next day I arrive at work stinking like a camel.

LOL, This HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!!! Hmmm, whats that smell?

Oh yes, usually I sit down and start the game...."Well, I wanna besiege this town, then I´ll stop...I promise."....2 hrs. later...."Things are looking good...one more territory and hunt down them Rebells!, then I´ll go to bed!""....1 hr. later....."Damn, who would have guessed the Mongols would show up that fast in my neighborhood! Let´s build up them castles and get decent armies into the area..."
I only play 1-2 times a week, but then I often don´t get enough sleep that night...."Oh, and England declared war on me.....let´s have a look at it!".......

As many of the above posters, I don't play unless I have more than 2 hours available. This game needs deep immersion to be enjoyed, and that only happens after 1-2 hours of management and a couple battles.

So, for me it's usually 2-8 hour sessions, once or twice a week.

PS: shouldn't this thread be a poll ?
