You know that pathetic thing people do when they are expecting a phone call? Waiting by the phone? Or how about sitting at home in your underpants staring at your inbox hitting the "refesh" button, hoping to get a new letter?* My secret shame is posting on this forum and then hitting the refresh button until someone responds. But since we are on the topic of confessions, let me continue. I've made a list. *ahem*
1. I have never played as the Moors.
2. I have never made it past turn 70 unless deliberately trying to face the Mongols.
3. I've never seen the Timurids, as I generally annihilate the Mongols by then.
4. I've never been past turn 90.
5. I'm not familiar with the term "gum... pow... er"
6. I get a small thrill every time I sack a city, much like a cocaine addict.
7. I used to be the ultimate chivalrous player. I even got my reputation all the way up to "very reliable" on a regular basis
8. ...on the original, unpatched version where diplomacy is broken.
9. I played as a brutal dictator exactly one time before I was hooked, and I never looked back.
10. I haven't ever had a serious girlfriend, mostly due to my addiction to video games. Therefore, I am secretly attracted to every woman who posts on this forum.
11. I've memorized "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and can perform it by myself, including the silly voices, with uncanny accuracy.
12. I've listened to all the commentaries on every existing Simpsons and Futurama DVD box set, and sometimes fall asleep to the sound of their voices. It's the closest thing I have to friends.
13. I auto-resolve most of my battles, except the ones I know the auto-calc will make me lose.
14. I never build navies.
15. I don't defend my settlements anymore.
16. I post on this forum in order to be popular.
17. I have never used seige equipment other than ballistae.
18. I only just started building armor for my troops this week.
19. I've been over 100,000 florins in debt, and I didn't even remotely care.
20. I think anyone who can do a blitz game with Russia is badass.
21. Which means I think I am a badass.
22. My idea of cooking is adding water to ramen noodles and putting it in the microwave.
23. I think exterminating the settlement of a former ally on the very turn I betrayed them makes me hardcore.
24. I think my original signature line is more hilarious than yours, but the pink elephant is even funnier.
25. The only modded game I've ever played is Rome: Total Realism.
26. I'm getting far too lazy to create new photobucket accounts to hold all of my screenshots.
27. You can earn more from sacking one city every 10 turns than you can from using merchants. (Not really my shame, per se... but a shame nonetheless)
28. I discovered that Egypt is the most powerful faction in the game, and I can prove it using math, and I think that makes me badass.
29. I have never heard of any of the music you listen to.
30. I play remixed versions of other game soundtracks while I play Medieval 2.
31. I live in my parent's garage.
===================================
Now that I have made all of this public knowledge, I will now click the refresh button until someone responds. Feel free to share your shames.
By the way, it's only because I am in college and I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my ass.
This is the only way to demonstrate how insane I am.
