131. Re: 126: Not only do you stay home on Friday night to get a good spot in das' NES, you have no other place to go because NESing has already harmed your social life beyond repair...
132. You see the thread title, think "Spam!", and you mouse hovers over the 'Close Thread' button....

133. You almost cry at reading the above post because you have no social life and this is the best thing you can do at night.
134. You go so far as to download a paint program for the express purpose of designing national flags.
135. You regret not having a recording device that would let you sing and record your nation's national anthem.
136. You spend hours on a paint program, drawing your country steadily expanding through the centuries.
137. You make an NES map your desktop.

I usually color Britain crimson, Russia burgundy, China light yellow (alex's request, and it stuck)...
but...
144. You're shocked and horrified when France isn't colored dark blue, when Sweden isn't colored light blue, when Spain isn't colored yellow...
145. You are surprised that nukes were only used twice in the real world...

The orange and brown work better for Britain and Russia. I interchange Russian brown with teal often though, just to represent the Tsars. Burgundy is a color I associate with Denmark or Japan, whilst a crimson (i usually tint it slightly orange, as the red on paint tends to go into the purplish area, and is too strong on the eyes) I associate with Rome.

146. In History class, you hear that World War II was the last global conflict and think "Wait a minute - I could've sworn there were like 7!" (I think in RTOR2 there were about that many World Wars).
147. In your "Thread Subscriptions" folder, you still are subscribed to the threads of NESs that are long dead.
148. All active NESers are on your CFC Buddy List.
149. When one NESer ruined you in one NES, you join the next one he's in and make it your goal to get revenge on them no matter what.
I think we can all condense all those things about the nations and corresponding colors into:
150. You look at various world maps in textbooks and wonder why the colors are different everywhere than in the NES you've last played in and go call the publishers of the books, telling them the coloring is all wrong and referring them to the NES so that they can make corrections.
151. For a free-response essay for your history class, you write about how in the 1980s, the Soviet Union was still at the peak of its power, maintaining a firm hold on its Eastern European satellites, and the world was completely destroyed after a nuclear exchange between the USA and USSR before the 1990s. (Gelion's 1949 NES, in which Sheep was USSR and, I forget who, but either the USA or the USSR launched the first nukes at the other and retaliation came and the world went boom, ending the NES)
152. You hear so much from the old-timers about RTOR2 that you search for it in the forum and read through the whole 200-something pages of it.

153. Your sense of history and NES/alt history becomes so blurred that you mistake important historical figures and what they did.
For example (and yes, I actually said this in class):
In Physics, during a lecture on Electricity, the teacher was talking about how Ben Franklin discovered electricity with that key experiment.
So I raise my hand and, in the most blonde moment ever, ask "Wasn't he, like, the first President of the United States?"
Needless to say, the response I got was laughter and my friend sitting next to me took out her school day planner, turned to the back with the list of US Presidents, and pointed to "George Washington" for me.
lol
yes, it is a true story

154. You decide to destroy what little social life you have to get into more NESes.
155. You attempt to recruit RL friends into NESing.
156. You constantly whine to your history teacher that Enrico Dandolo had to have been silver, stalin, or Sheep traveling back it time.
157. You wonder how Rome won the First Punic War, because they wouldn't have enough eco levels to rush that many ships in that short of a time period.
158. You download music just to listen to while you think of yet another dastardly invasion plan.

I think this is entering 'too much information catagory'
160- You go into the local libary and nearly ask for "a book on how to asassinate heads of state", before some self preservation instinct kicks in and you rephrase it...

161. You search the web and the library and pore over every minutiae of details about economics, politics, and military strategies and logistics, so that you can bring your country outta that depression, stabilize your government, and win more engagements in battle.
