You are a frequent visiter of the TW.ORG forums when...

[The Spartan (Returns)]

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.

[Orb]

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.

[HoreTore]

So, does that place exist?

When you dont have a life.

He is, of course, referring to the .Org....

[sapi]

So, does that place exist?

When you dont have a life.

No, I'm being serious.

'Gah' is by no means an org conception, it's simply one that we've adopted.

Plenty of people say it...

[Caius]

No, I'm being serious.

No,I was not

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

When you check your PM box before your email when you go online.

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).

You have the Org as your homepage.

Yep!

When you get most of your news from the backroom

I gave up watching the news when I first gained access to the Backroom - I don't post in there much though - political and news debate is simply exhausting!

You suffer withdrawal symptoms when on vacation.

Yes - just being on vacation for the past week. I've missed this place so much - I've also learned that typing after a week away from a keyboard is quite hard.

When you use Gah and LOL in normal everyday conversation

I'm highly guilty of doing that....

when you wish for your friends to call you by your ORG account name.

I secretly want them to, my real name is pretty ordinary and average, but I don't say anything. However, when I talk to myself, the first sign of madness, I call myself by my Org name.

I'll let you guys come to your conclusions about me....

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 :p

[Lorenzo_H]

When you send your prayers as PMs to TosaInu.

[Caius]

When your friends call you as your org name.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

When your friends call you as your org name.

When the only friends youve got are here.

Now thats sad.


Or when you consider the org your family.

[ShadeHonestus]

When you bring up posts by backroomers at your workplaces for comedic relief.

[King Henry V]

When somebody in real life says "Gah", you reply by saying "Gah indeed".

[drone]

When asked questions by a pollster, you are offended at the lack of the Gah! option.

[doc_bean]

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...

[Gawain of Orkeny]

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.

[Adrian II]

... 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

ROFL!

I "bow" to my kids (also avid TotalWar players) and I often consult the Backroom for hints on big breaking news or totally neglected news items (both are my RL business) and to read views from various members. Also for book tips, game info and whatnot.

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.

[doc_bean]

Or worse yet it ruins your whole day because some one else has already posted it and stolen your thunder.

The combination of both is actually the worst: you can't find a decent source so you just decide to let it rest and two days later someone does post about, wiht a decent source

[Ironside]

No, I'm being serious.

'Gah' is by no means an org conception, it's simply one that we've adopted.

When you know the true meaning of Gah.

[Caius]

When in a class you say:

I red in a forum(tw.org), and you comment a backroom notice.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Hold your birthday party here

Happy birthday to me

[The Stranger]

when your ideal party is a SPAMFEST

[Gawain of Orkeny]

"Orders spam for all"

[The Spartan (Returns)]

you constantly post in this thread.

[The Stranger]

just to increase your post count

[Abokasee]

Your post count is 100+

[The Stranger]

when your postcount is more than mine

[Rodion Romanovich]

when The Stranger is your idol

[Fußball]

When you have been registered for only over a month and you post in this thread...

Tschüß!
Erich

[caravel]

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.

When as soon as you open your web browser to search for something you somehow automatically end up at the .org instead.

When you have dreams about the .org... (mentioning no names )

When you're promoted to Senior Member the same year that you became a member. (I wonder who that could be )

[The Stranger]

when The Stranger is your idol
