bobita228 Admin 391 Jan. 2003 Feb. 19 2003, 2:46 pm You haven't showered in days from playing There and your significant other doesn't even notice because they are playing There too much too.   LOL Share your stories here! Back to top Spliff Admin 843 Jan. 2003     Feb. 19 2003, 3:03 pm You get logged out of There during the off hours and you spend the next few hours/days(?) of your life chatting/idling in our IRC Chat and typing !addiction in MBoffin's script to find out exactly how many days/hours/minutes/seconds are left until the There login opens up again. //Edit:  River, our IRC chat can be found as a link on our home page. Or join the irc server: irc.enterthegame.com  Channel: #there through your normal irc client. Back to top River Members 29 Feb. 2003     Feb. 19 2003, 6:05 pm There's an IRC chat? Where!? *addiction level rising* Bad avatar! *cheek slap* Back to top WolfUmbra Members 51 Feb. 2003     Feb. 24 2003, 4:44 pm You can still there the sounds from There and the client isn't even open!!

I am definitely addicted. "Hi, my name is Aime, and I am a There addict." Back to top Aime Members 116 Feb. 2003     Feb. 25 2003, 12:20 am Oh, and I wouldn't have it any other way Back to top bobita228 Admin 391 Jan. 2003     Feb. 25 2003, 2:40 pm How about when you're at work, and you constantly check in the #there chat room? LOL And yes, "Hi my name is Bobita228, and I am a There addict." Back to top UncleJohn Members 92 Jan. 2003     Feb. 25 2003, 3:26 pm ...or when you're seriously considering making your own clothes based on your There designs. Back to top Techzen Members 280 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 2:49 am You haven't seen sunlight in the last 72 hours. You've worn your clothes more than once without washing them. Your Buddy list, My Things, My Places and Change Me Folders/Areas are all neatly organized, but everything around your computer is a mess. You log out at 7am Tuesday morning and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.:0 Back to top aqualoco Members 147 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 4:47 am You start seeing word bubbles over peoples heads in real life. I was playing a female avatar in there, before it was cool. Sworn to fun, loyal to none.

'wave 'smile Back to top CrystalShard Members 380 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 2:48 pm Whenever someone uses the word "There" in a legitimate sentence that has nothing to do with the program, you get a stupid grin on your face. Back to top MBoffin Members 56 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 2:54 pm Your wife tells you that you were mumbling, "No, we all need to get in the buggy to go find a hoverboard," when she tried to wake you up one morning. (Yes, this happened.) Back to top Chiasmodus Members 71 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 3:47 pm lol  A sure sign that you're beyond help is when you start dreaming about There...  Last night I had a dream that I was somewhere in Tiki trying to build a ramp.  The really sad part?  I've never actually built or even watched anyone else build a ramp, so I have no idea how it's actually supposed to look and don't know why it was about that of all things.  lol Polly Gone Mad Back to top CrystalShard Members 380 Feb. 2003     Feb. 26 2003, 4:28 pm Its because deep in your mind, you want to build a ramp. Psycology at work. Back to top bobita228 Admin 391 Jan. 2003     Feb. 27 2003, 10:00 am Yes...skyhouse calling perhaps? Heh. Back to top sammykun Members 29 Feb. 2003     Feb. 27 2003, 11:23 am I know I've gotten addicted to There because now, even when I want to laugh, my mind has to spell out LOL in my head before I do anything else.   Back to top Techzen Members 280 Feb. 2003     Feb. 28 2003, 9:44 pm You shave your goatee, because when you look in the mirror it just doesn't look like "you" anymore. Ok so I left a little soul patch. I'm not "that" addicted. Yet. lol.:p Back to top CrystalShard Members 380 Feb. 2003     Feb. 28 2003, 10:50 pm You call for help and end up helping the tech supporter solve another problem instead. (which also shows you're a geek, too) Back to top FatHamburger Members 171 Feb. 2003     Mar. 01 2003, 10:51 am you start wishing if your friends could summon you everywhere instead of walking/driving lolol Back to top Aime Members 116 Feb. 2003     Mar. 01 2003, 3:51 pm I have it bad/good...I have all the aforementioned symptoms. Hehehe.     Aime Back to top Aime Members 116 Feb. 2003     Mar. 01 2003, 3:53 pm And I cant control my reply button either....So sorry about that double posting!   Back to top LuLou Members 54 Feb. 2003 Mar. 03 2003, 4:29 pm I know I have it bad! In my dreams I travel from place to place using Teleport! I can actually see the counter ticking down 12-11-10- etc.!   "Your Buddy list, My Things, My Places and Change Me Folders/Areas are all neatly organized, but everything around your computer is a mess." ~Techzen ROFLMAO!  Are you looking over my shoulder?   Lu Back to top UncleJohn Members 92 Jan. 2003     Mar. 03 2003, 4:41 pm ...You spend more time with your spouse in There than in real life. ~love ya mackie! I think we get along much better in There   Although, I can see us fighting over not having enough Therebucks to pay rent for our Therehouse... "You were in the auctions today again, weren't you mackie! Damn it woman! I'm busting my ass in the hoverboard races to try and pay bills and you blow it all on a new Bootilicious t-shirt!" lol Back to top bobita228 Admin 391 Jan. 2003     Mar. 04 2003, 10:24 am ....you don't see your best friend enough since she lives in another state...so I end up inviting her and now we'll get to "hang out" more, and feel like its real. That's corny...but true. Back to top VAPaul Members 9 Feb. 2003     Mar. 04 2003, 12:16 pm You know you're addicted when.... You call your dog and she doesn't come, then you realize you only have a dog in There - not in real life. You're not afraid of heights anymore because you're sure you'll just bounce harmlessly. $20 for a T-Shirt at the Gap sounds like a bargain to you now. You actually say the word "wave" when greeting a friend in RL. Back to top UncleJohn Members 92 Jan. 2003     Mar. 04 2003, 1:27 pm ...I'm at work and keep thinking I hear that noise the little notification bar makes in There. *Dood Dood* That's fine - but the first time I try to put my stapler down and it disappears because I'm in a No Dropping zone, that's it for me. Back to top CrystalShard Members 380 Feb. 2003     Mar. 04 2003, 2:58 pm For now only possible on AW, VU, and Plastic Planet, but should be possible on There soon: You get bored from 'walking' and start trying to learn how to instantly teleport yourself anywhere in your field of vision. (I actually sat down and tried to do that on AW for afew hours, and I gotta say I got pretty good at it! I'd just 'appeared' infront of people and things instead of approaching. hee.) Back to top Meret Members 28 Mar. 2003     Mar. 05 2003, 12:43 am You know your addicted to "There" when, You get more excited at receiving $10,000 Therebucks from answering a survey than receiving your normal paycheque.   It's the most exciting $5.50 I've ever received.  Now that is just sad! Meret   Back to top Aime Members 116 Feb. 2003     Mar. 05 2003, 12:52 am Yep, I got more thrilled at sending in that survey than I do for most things in real life....hehehe.   Back to top aqualoco Members 147 Feb. 2003     Mar. 06 2003, 3:51 am Yes, I nearly  wet myself when I saw that survey email. And getting $421 for hosting an event in a subsequent e-mail. You know your addicted to there when you have a dream about hoverboarding in real life. Yes, i really had that dream. I was playing a female avatar in there, before it was cool. Sworn to fun, loyal to none.

Back to top Karille Members 17 Feb. 2003     Mar. 09 2003, 8:45 pm You  take notice to benches around town more now than ever before...sitting on alot of them wondering what view they might offer! Back to top jbo Members 18 Feb. 2003     Mar. 10 2003, 10:49 pm Heya everyone! Here's a little list I gathered from #there. We were trying to fill up our need for There, before PB2 comes out "online". If you can identify yourself in that list, read the great quot-ologist who once said... The sage aphorism holds true: "Before you attempt to have a virtual life, make sure you have a real one first."  -Ryft (Edited from IRC - irc.enterthegame.com, #there) Quote You know you're addicted when...your desktop pic is now the backdoor screen with your mouse hovering over "log in" waiting for you to push it over and over... You know you're addicted when...you ask your mom if you can borrow her buggy... You know you're addicted when...you loan your kid your buggy. You know you're addicted when...you hear the message alert noises in your head... but There isn't connected. o_o You know you're addicted when..."I was in Mcdonalds today and saw the maximum occupancy sign on the wall, and thought of the server load in There, hoping my burger wouldn't be returned to inventory" that happens to you. You know you're addicted when...you wonder why chatting with your friends on MSN doesn't make you an Adept Socializer. You know you're addicted when...you think your car could go faster if you'd hook up a mouse and hit the right mouse button. You know you're addicted when...you go to the mall and wonder why everything is so inexpensive... You know you're addicted when...you're stressed over a problem in RL, and you think of Helper_Fiona and Helper_Loki. You know you're addicted when...you think you can "retrieve" something you've just lost. You know you're addicted when...you try to sell some t-shirts with your name written on it on Ebay.
