    Default What keeps you all from playing EB?

    Just curious what keeps everyone from playing EB as much as they want to. Whether it be jobs, wives, or girlfriends. For me I recently got a new Beagle. He barely gives me time to sleep let alone conquer the world.

    As a single man living on my own all that keeps me from playing EB is work, but luckily I am able to browse the forum in work leaving my free time for conquering. I shall not ponder whether EB is perpetuating my single status...

    Work, my friends and my personal writing projects which I'm proud to say EB and the EB team inspired me to create and focus on. I'm also dealing with girls issues since I've got one that's a "friend with benefits" kind of thing, but I'm looking for one to start a serious relationship with

    No computer capable of running RTW. Though if that were available I don't think I'd have enough time to play much.

    Work. School hours are crazily variable, and working in school means you get take-home work, too. That, and forums. :)

    But I do get some EB time in at work... *blush*

    Hiding EB at work must be super hard cause of the load times for alt-tabing.

    School's a major distraction as well as "people"

    The only thing that stops me from playing is a need to eat and sleep. If I could figure out how to do both at the same time, I'd be unstoppable.

    Exactly. Especially when you have a major and two minors...and then from there you previously spent a lot of spare time studying a catechism. I can honestly say that I'm quite happy to be single--it saves me just a little extra time to play games which I wouldn't otherwise have because I'd be keeping her happy.

    Though it's weird, for some reason in the last week or so a number of women older than me have expressed an interest in me, and I haven't the foggiest idea why.

    School, homework and friends. It&#180;s all very boring, but at least I can sometimes sneak in on the internet at school.

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    Girlfriend and sleep are the major ones. I'm sure university will interfere when it starts up again.

    The loading times. I find myself playing mods that are totally out of EB's league just because life is too short to waist staring at a loading screen 30 minutes a day. The lag decreases my productivity as well.

    Work (a bit), sleep (not much), my daughter (a lot!), a pregnant wife (a bit).

    I gave my wife the "healthy, wise wife" trait, so that now she lets me play a bit more, because she knows that a happy husband is a helpful husband. I'm not sure how to give my daughter traits, and she's too young to marry off to a garrison commander.
