You know you have been in the Vast Empire too long if . . .1) You send more emails which pertain to the Vast Empire than any other subject. 2) After you get ops, you feel invincible both on the net and in real life. 3) Upon joining any mIRC channel, you salute out of reflex. 4) You have every Star Wars game made in the last five years. 5) When a new recruit enters the channel, you mutter, "Fresh meat." 6) You have 50+ club emails in your inbox everyday. 7) If you cannot access the www.guston.com or www.hotmail.com or www.vastempire.com you begin to panic as if you cannot access the entire internet. 8) When trying to do your homework and some noise is bothering you, you mutter something about channel moderation. 9) Any vulgar subjects remind you of discussions in #Vast_Empire. 10) You curse when you hear the words, "Imperial Order." 11) You side with the Yankees on Civil War issues merely because the other side are 'Rebels'. 12) You are always talking at the dinner table in real life about the good ol' days when Raptor was Prefect. 13) You begin to actually cry when you loose your fictional paycheck at the Vast Empire Casino. 14) When you read about Baron Fel, you instantly think of Donitz. 15) You think it odd when any person you know does not have a hotmail account. 16) You waste ten hours a day in #Vast_Empire without ever saying a word. 17) Everyone on your ICQ list is either in or related to the Vast Empire in some way. 18) You go through joysticks and computer upgrades every month. 19) You know more people intimately in the Vast Empire than you do in real life. 20) You recite the Code of Conduct when you are dreaming at night. 21) Your eyes instantly hurt at any Word Document that contains colors. 22) You bicker daily on the Vast Empire message board. 23) You access your VE bank account more than you do your real life one. 24) Upon meeting a person in real life, you accidentily state your rank and callsign. 25) When your History Teacher asks where you learned so much about WWII and military tactics, you respond with pride, "From Vice Admiral Donitz." 26) Whenever you receive a personal email from Majere, your friends notice you are very egotistical for the rest of the day. 27) Your esteem for drunkards, drug-users and drug-dealers has risen considerably. 28) Your parents get in a car-wreck and to make them feel better you begin to recount to them one of Cabbel's automobile accidents. 29) You suddenly discover that you like drinking schnapps when you disliked it before. 30) You judge happiness by the ammount of rank promotions or medals you have received during the last couple of months. 31) You do not have a clue who the United States is bombing or invading at the moment, but know all the territories and systems by heart that Vast Empire is currently fighting in. 32) When your History Teacher asks who held the rank of Field Marshal in WWII, you only can think of Majere. 33) You heard most of your news about the Monica Lewinsky Scandal in #Vast_Empire. 31) When your parents suggest any activity for you, your mind thinks of manual or roster updating. 34) You do not really care if Clinton lowers the minimum wage, but you are distressed when Majere lowers the ammount of Imperial credits you receive a month. 35) In a real life argument with anyone, you threaten to "kick" them. 36) You freak when anyone mentions the word 'reprimand'. 37) When scolded by your parents, you retort --- "Go ahead and ban me!"

40) You write fictions just so you can tell the other members your latest cocktail recipe (ahhh, sweet Purple Haze) 41) When VE members name new cocktails, you like the name largely because it came from a superior officer (ahhh, sweet Slight Mist) 42) When you see VE members you know in real life, you salute - and passers by get confused when they call you "captain" 43) You find it easiest to talk to Tisme via IRC - even though he's sitting at the computer beside you 44) When you hear the words "personal trainer", you forget about gyms and wonder when you can schedule some XvT lessons with Donitz 45) You see a fast food shop called "Donny's" and feel the urge to salute itGreat list, Spart - my favorites were 16, 21, 27, and of course 29  IP: 212.126.132. |

I feel afraid, very afraid. I haven't been in the VE a year yet and I already qualify for some of those(10,11,14,19,23,26,31 sorta(mission designing),32,42,44,and 45). Could be worse, could be spending your days trying to use the force to open a can of peaches. ------------------ Tech Daishi[This message has been edited by da1sh1 (edited 31 March 2000).] IP: 63.15.111.20 |
