I can't do it

[Aspon]

i Have to give civ 5 up for three weeks due to an exam coming up. I have gone almost 24 hours without playing civ 5 now and already I am getting withdrawal symptoms for someone with no friends I have not got much else. I am not realisticly going to use all my time revising but the problem is if I play civ 5 I will use all my time playing civ 5 which will make me fail. I lose track of time when playing civ 5. alarms don't work because i they go off and im like wait and then you know.


so I have had to stop but I tempted to play now I don't know how I can go on I...

Ohoh. CivAddiction strikes.

You know maybe you are worried about the exam so you need to disconnect a bit. Read a book or something. Read a book about Civilizations maybe? Play an occasional game starting in modern era on fast speed (1-2 hour game). Play an occasional quick multiplayer (I actually tried that today and it does work). With an exam coming up you need a bit of escape, don't feel guilty about it. But if you think that playing games is a bit too easy to suck you in, find something else. Go to the library and read a book about Darius of Persia or something. Civ5 will still be here in 3 weeks, and you will be 3 weeks closer to another great patch.

ive played every single civ there was one two three four and five well not civ rev but u know.

ive gone 50 hours straight without food sleep or breaks of any kind without even realising it playing civ before.

maybe i should use this to do something constructive for the world einstien did the same thing and invented the tecnology that would lead to the nuclear bomb maybe i too could be another aspie with a long concentration span to do something amazing for the world, maybe i should give up civ all together i always wanted to get us to another planet.

think i could be responsible for inventing tencology that gets us to another world so we could enslave torture and abuse a civilization less advanced then us.

but serioulsy i have questioned giving up gaming all together before to do something constructive with my life i dont think its a positive thing i think i have a problem with addiction to games.

Whoa, man just pace yourself. Do you honestly not notice being tired, thirsty or hungry? If it pulls you in that much, just relax and time yourself. Enforce some limits. But this is the kind of thing you should visit a therapist for. People have died from continuous gaming before.

Never let a game get in the way of your life. An exam is way more important than Civ 5.

Btw what class?

its normal for aspergers we can do it one time it wasnt civ was playing a game and there was a burglary on my street there was shouting screaming police sirens the whole street shook up as several large armed guys (with things like crowbar not guns) broke into a random guys house and got aggressive then ran off with whatever they could get.

all i noticed is when my housemate (a professional con artist who was not really my mate but only exploiting me for my money but i thought he was my mate at the time) walked into my room and told me we have to talk to the police i was like what why, then there like you really saw nothing and im like really were serious, youd think im making this up but im not.

when i get focused an alien invasion of earth can happen and id be to absorbed to notice.

currently doing a degree in accounting wanted back up in case online poker went wrong ( what i do atthe moment for money) decided accounting because it math and you don't got to be good with people. well thats what people told me anyway. I don't hate people just people hate me and don't like people jobs because I will never get anywehre in them so u know.

within a short while of starting the course they say most people think its math but its not really mathmatical and you have to be good with people you cannot get anywhere without been good with people.

I loved that.
