How to Know when you have been Nesing for too long..

164: You do as JD: become a part-time NESer. :p Who's paying you, jalapeno?
 
159- You not only have prussian marches to listen while you write orders, you also have an old military hat that you put on!.

Seriously?

That gives me an idea for #165.

165. When you have an updating/order sending soundtrack on your computer, with different songs to play for disaster writing, war writing, and peace writing.

166. When you start calling little animal bobbleheads on top of your computer 'My Advisors'.

All true. I swear.

No I'm not! :p

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.

They probably just finished a project that gave them lots of ships. ;)

167. The first thing you do when you come back from school is getting online and studying your diplo.

168. You have vandalized several RL maps by drawing new borders, attack arrows and so forth.

169. When you read about, in a book (for instance, the Dune; my personal experience was with some other books little known outside of Russia, or in the second case outside of Eastern Europe), about some sort of a strategical planning session or something, you automatically begin coming up with alternate plans for the situation.

170. During the above, you also compare the characters involved with NESers. I think I saw Disenfrancised there all too many times for comfort...

:lol: That may be because I tend to steal a lot of my plans from Literary sources (these are often better than proper histories, as they actually go into how to manipulate people and events, rather than the the results of manipulation :mischief: )

Also whatever it is your particularly thinking of - I am innocent! all I do is give people what they want...*chuckle*
 
I also saw silver 2039! :p

"From tommorow on, you will have to operate by a different principle that will become the motto of our war. This motto and my order are such: war to all that lives. War to all that burns. You must leave scorched earth behind yourselves. From tommorow on, we will bring the war beyond the line to which we will retreat after the peace treaty is signed. We will retreat, but there, beyond that line, there must be only scorched earth!"

(as translated by myself from a Russian text of a Polish book...)

Rings a bell, anyone who ever got a war-time order set from silver2039? ;)
 
171. You start comparing RL historical figures to NESers.

@das- That is genuinely creepy. That a person like silver existed and wrote a book about it.
 
172. Lacking computer access and stuck in boot camp, you have your relatives mail you the current map, stats, and past two updates to a NES you were participating in, and spend your free time copying the map and working out your orders.
173. You go AWOL, impersonate a higher rank/position to avoid suspicion, and use a government computer without authorization to send these orders.
174. Upon returning, you find the NES is "on hold" but maintain faith it'll be back... eventually...
175. You start comparing NESers to historical leaders instead of the other way around. ;)
176. While thinking of an alt-hist to use as a setting for a NES it actively occurs to you how certain players will try and take certain nations, behave unrealistically according to your backstory, and generally thwart your vision, and so you plan accordingly to stop them preemptively.

Indeed, except for the bolded portion - silver wouldn't have any different principle to start with!
 
Symphony, that's nuts. Especially 173.

177. Scared and paranoid that other NESers actually know you, whenever you see someone get on a forum, you stay away from them as much as possible, believing that they NES and can discover your hidden plans.
 
My seperation was taking abnormally long, so I figured they were screwing me over. I decided to screw them back a little. ;) If anybody's curious on specifics they can ask. Anyway, strangely, when I got back I found out I was on the list to leave the next day. So it was a good last day overall. :lol:

178. One of your main concerns in joining new NESes is you are aware the mod will gain a sense of how you operate specifically, and might use this knowledge against you in some future NES.
 
180. Whenever you see a sci-fi or fantasy idea your first thoughts are: "would it be a good idea for a NES?"
 
181: Corollary to 180. Whenever you see a map, you check if it could be used in a NES.
 
182. You actualy CAN see yourself NESing in the age 30... and 50... 100.. 120.. Well you get the picture...
 
183: You actually believe there's a secret organization that recruits generals for their future conquest of the world through the NES forum...

Let's just say that if I told you, I'd have to kill you...

:lol: I guess my 183 isn't far off the mark, then? :p You're working for them, aren't you?
 
No, I'm working for them. :p

Hahah! It's true. Although we all do the same, so fair's fair. Actually, just those who moderate...

That refers to the immigration debate in the US. If you haven't noticed for the last couple weaks there has been a huge upsurge in Latino-American activism through demonstrations, walkouts, etc. I support the Latino immigrants for many reasons, the phrase in my sig being one of them.

184. You start going back and reading over Tanakh (Old Testament) passages for war strategies.

I actually do that, and it has won me several very important battles.
