View Full Version : You might be a TSO addict if ....
I thought this might be an amusing way to spend a bit of time while you're waiting for your explorers to get back. If you have ever heard of the American comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, then you might appreciate this little game. I'll start off with my random thoughts...
You might be a TSO addict if ....
... your dog is at the door with his legs crossed, watery eyes, and a pleading look on his face.
... your kids ask your spouse “Mommy, who's that on our computer?”
... your spouse has had multiple liasons with strangers on your couch right behind you and you don’t hear a thing.
... you haven’t been to the gym in months because you can now get buffed at home.
... your kids plead with you for their first hot meal in two weeks.
... your best friend tells you that you just won the lottery, and you give him a blank stare, then return to creating your meat deposit.
... your haven’t shaved, showered or dressed in three weeks.
... your bank account is overdrawn, but you don't care - you have 38,050 gold coins stashed at the Mayor's house.
... your computer suffers more lag than a world traveler on holiday.
That's my lot! Feel free to add just one response or multiple! Have fun! :D
You might be a TSO Addict when...
...you hear birds chirping and you look around for your mouse and you realise you are in bed and the birds are outside the window.
...you hear the microwave go "BING!" and you think you have a new message.
...you hear ajurwalbau- actually never mind.
LOL! love the microwave one ...I think I've done that myself!
I'm not a TSO addict then yet. I am also not an addict to the Settlers series but... after having played Settlers III a long time ago, every time summer comes and I hear the birds singing outside... it's always the same singing that I heard in the game :)
You grew so fat, green peace came to throw you back in the ocean
- you get up in the middle of the night to turn your gold line off that you 'think' might have been left on in error
- you get up extra early to plant your fields and wells
...you get up in the middle of the night to get to good grannie deals
...you wake up from a lovely dream of endless ironmines for free and realize that it was just that, a dream
...you wish you would win the lottery just so you can afford 6 endless copper mines!

... you have more friends on settlers than facebook
... you have developed trade chat wts, wtb, TO, and all other acronyms and use them in Ebay (for the rare moments you switch screens)
... the sound the explorers make is no longer creepy...
... you plan your "offline" time around settlers production chains
... you think you have been "very lucky" around the discussion of hardwood and buffs
.... you start using the word 'brew' in RL down the pub.
If you set your alarm every six hours just to keep everything buffed......
...... you might be a TSO addict.
If you're level 7 and buy granite just in case you might need it.....
.......you might be a TSO addict.
If you're reading this forum while waiting for marble and hardwood....
........you might be a TSO addict.
If you go onto Youtube and look up Jeff Foxworthy.......
.... you might be a Redneck.
Y'all have a good day now! :)
......when you still keep playing with freeze and kicks every 10mins for days and days :P

When your life partner come back from shopping and you ask ? " You bring back any new adventure "
you might be a tso addict when 6 of your mates are just outside having an ice cold beer in the sun and you're 'just gonna get 1 more field building and i'll be out'

.... You might be a TSO when the birds outside the window wake you up and you wish they sounded more like the settler birdsong so you could continue sleeping, or realise its buff time!
When you see a flash in the corner of your eye and you think someone just sent you a whisper.
When you keep believing that any day now there will be a raise of level cap................

.... when you don't find it odd anymore to paint the house/building in fish platters....
You might be an addict if you plan your day around playing settlers....
You might be an addict if you set your alarm for 3am so you can do adventures with less lag...
You might be an addict if you spend all your time in help chat because you know there's no question you can't answer
You might be a TSO addict if...
...you have lots of rotting fish-food in a pool of the local park, yet you keep coming back to thrown in some more.
...when your servants get tired of getting paid in brew.
...after losing a massive battle with your enemy, you sit down and start waiting for 4 hours.
...you wonder why no one has come to your big house every 15 min.
...you refuse to pay so high prices for sushi, and want a sandwich instead.
...the first thing you do when you start playing a new online game is building yourself a nice mayors house. (no matter how many times you are told you cant)
...you have patiently read and made a list of everything said here, just in case you could become a TSO addict.
I asked in guild if anyone has an IOTP for a quest and no one did, I then turned to my 14yr old sister and was about to ask her if she had one. luckily I realised what I was doing before the words came out of my mouth :)
....when you're asked to go to the shops and get bread and you think to yourself "i'll have to upgrade my farms and mills first"
You might be an addict of you're doing algebra and it reminds you of the unit types...

You might be a TSO addict...
If you are in denial about it and have gone through this thread ticking off all the salient points, and pointing out that you only got 99% of them.
You haven't mentioned to your therapist that you have an addiction to TSO.
You wonder what other people mean when they talk about something called 'real life'.
You might be a TSO addict...

OMG BALLOONS arrrghhhhhhh they are everywhere, here, there my sleep i cant ever get rid of them :( arrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh
sorry back to your game :D
when you put on a rl roman helmet before starting an advenutere :)
looking for a extension cable and instead of thinking metre when i seen 25M i thought 25 militia and i actually did lol
... you are digging out that old high gain yagi antenna and setting a WRT54G to max power in repeater mode in order acquire long distance wifi hotspot access in your rural holiday cottage which has no mobile data coverage.
Ho, ho, ho, merry.... six days without settlers? Are you kidding me?
Family:
Day one: What's wrong with you? You can't go one week without the internet? We came here to get away from it all. You need to get help.
Day two: Oh, you got that wifi thingy working. Aren't you a smarty pants. I guess now you can just sit in the corner and ignore everyone you miserable git.
Day three: Dammit, let me use your wifi connection. I'm bored out of my freaking mind here. I just realised that "No Internet Connection" is not a selling point. It's an admission of limitations.
...you haven't put a shortcut on your browser because putting 'T' in the address bar seems so much quicker.
When you want return all those pesky rabbits to the store ...
you are on first name basis with support because of all the bugs
You spend a month in some war-torn African country and make it your everyday's mission to log in to TSO, despite the incredibly slow internet connection.

You know you are addicted to TSO when your vacation times coincide with the easter event simply by coincidence and your in complete denial about doing it intentionally,..
When you find out that the event is going to start a day early and trick your boss into thinking he made a mistake on the dates just to go on vacation a day earlier,..
When you sit at your computer for 2-3 hours after the server is supposed to be back up clicking the play now button and completely regretting using an extra vacation day...
When your soooo tired of clicking the play now button that you are searching the threads for random things to comment on.

When you post here and then immediately go back to clicking the play now button,... only to see that the server is still down. Then come back to post that so you have a few seconds to pass before you click again.

I must say that Dieter and Uwe at support does not find that amusing [*frowns*]
:p
You may be a TSO addict if you have to log in after 6 months away because you miss global-1.
I'm not and addict, I'm only slightly "dedicated" :P Been here for over 3,5 years now I think :D
you set the alarm even on the weekend based on your buff schedule...
you take your laptop everywhere (out to lunch, Dr. office, etc.) in case you need to do something...
you don't mind waiting at the Dr. office (see above laptop usage)...
you login as the first activity in the morning and logout as the last activity of the day...
you interrupt intimacy with your partner because you heard something collapse (this is heavily influenced by your partner also playing like mine does because she does the same thing)...
the pizza delivery guy asks what adventures you are doing tonight...
