You Know You've Been at Althanas Too Long When...

[Ther]

Someone posted something like this over at AllRPG, so I figure I'd bring it over here for you all.

Basically, finish the sentence "You know you've been at Althanas too long when..."

[AdventWings]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when your entire life revolves around writing a JC."

;)

[Shadar]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when you pass time at work by planning an entire thread in your head... and you go over it at least three times to make sure it's perfect."

[Slayer of the Rot]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when you get into a fistfight and scream 'Dan Smash!' when you knock the other guy over and start stomping on his face."

[Amaril Torrun]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when you pass time at work by planning an entire thread in your head... and you go over it at least three times to make sure it's perfect."

You're a stalker.

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when you spend a large part of your day on it, without taking part in any IC threads.

[Moonlit Raven]

You know you've been on Althanas too long when you can remember the Ice Reaver/ Purifier war and Chromanon Rockskin winning the LCC with Ter-thok.

[Skie and Avery]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you compare every forum fight over rubric and judging protocol with the fight over that one Gisela where Sei wanted the scores changed.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you compare possible romantic entanglements to the merits and ideals of your favorite characters.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when someone does something terrible to you and you say, "If Damon Kaosi was here right now, you wouldn't get away with this!"

You intend to name your children after some of the forum's locales. >.> <.< I happen to think Raiaera Elizabeth is very pretty, thankyouverymuch!

[AdventWings]

You know when you've been at Althanas for too long when you remembered you were involved in the first RP over at the IV.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you feel like a million bucks and start patting yourself on the back just because you wrote an awesome post.

[Empyrean]

Clearly, I've definitely been at Althanas too long. :) *happy*

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you have a journal just to write down ideas and partial posts in.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when your iPod has one or more playlists that are used purely for writing posts. Or playlists that are really just made up of your character's various theme songs.

[Elijah_Morendale]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when Althanas is the first thing you check in the morning and the last thing you check before you go to bed."


Shoot, I've only been here about two months and that's how I roll.

[Gadgeteer Mikami]

"You know you've been at Althanas too long when your level status reached past the number 10."

Yeah, that's definitely some clear evidence there. :rolleyes:

[Lucien]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you plan revenge fantasies for made up characters, instead of for the authors you hate.

[Xos]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you devise a character that's seemingly unstoppable, in order to commit the wholesale slaughter of every character you hate.

Not that I would ever do something like that.

[Karuka]

I would totally call that out in RoG. No unstoppable characters.

Even the mighty Luc Kraus has his weak spots.

You know you've been on Althanas too long when you're watching TV and discussing with another Althanean what level such and such character would be.

[Skie and Avery]

[Breaker]

"... when talk of the "glory days" brings memories of level 50 characters and IC moderation."

"... when you find it difficult to touch other people because that would be bunnying."

"... when you sit down in a nice Italian restraunt and ask for their finest elven wine."

on a more serious note...

"when you click "email me my password" and receive no less than 20 emails, some of them with screen names you have no recollection of creating."

... only the last one has actually happened to me.

[thorn aldsmith]

... when your sat at work reading threads not thinking about what you should be doing!

three guesses where i am

[Xos]

... when your sat at work reading threads not thinking about what you should be doing!

three guesses where i am

At home? no, no, At your friends! no, that doesn't work either. I know, THE LIBRARY! no, wait, that doesn't make sense either. Gosh I suck at this.
Ok, I give up, where are you?:D

[Mage Hunter]

You knwo you've been on Althanas too long, when you remember Damon Kaosi level 0 with 100 exp from a quest.

[Breaker]

You knwo you've been on Althanas too long, when you remember Damon Kaosi level 0 with 100 exp from a quest.

I guess I've been at Althanas too long... I remember the character he had BEFORE Damon Kaosi.


"... when you hand a project in to your geography teacher detailing the various attractive aspects of Radasanth and surrounding countryside."

"...when "GP" starts replacing "Dollars" in everyday conversation."

[Mage Hunter]

You mean Oak? Yeah I know of Oak, just never saw him actually used.

Alright, here's a good one, you know you've been on Althanas too long when you saw Devon kill a GOD with his steel sword.

[Wraith]

You know you've been on Althanas for too long when you masturbate and worry about it scolding your hand/recharging a fairy.

[Elrundir]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you STILL have dreams about IrisAthena that make you question the relationship you may be in.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you remember Irisathena. ^^;;

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you remember when the regions were little more than names.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when your first quest was the first quest on the site, was typed with actions *like this*, and scored decently well.

[Scars]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you remember Irisathena. ^^;;

Or when you remember how much you hated her for writing out the beheading of your first character on Althanas in his registration thread because she believed he was a rip off of Kenshin even though you'd never even heard of it. Bitch.

[Serilliant]

You know you've been at Althanas too long when the highlight of your day is seeing the words "There have been 257 new posts since your last visit" and the low of your day is seeing "There have been 6 posts since your last visit".

Guilty. Damn it.

[Karuka]

^ Also guilty.

[Koran]

<--^ Me too. lol

"...when you remember when Serilliant was still a newb, and actually battled him."

Wewt.

[hamnat]

Guilty. Damn it.

So very guilty. (^_^)

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you have a permanent picture of one or more characters stuck in your head.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when a fairly new person levels past you, and you say, "How in the heck did they do it so fast?"

Guilty of both.

[Twinight]

You know you've been at Althanas far far too long when you actually remember when Santhalas had a character and was active.

You know you've been at Althanas far too long when you realize at the 5th annual Althanas Anniversary that you've been here for 5 years.

[AdventWings]

^

Yow, that I will give it to you. :p

You know you've been at Althanas for too long when one day you suddenly don't log on and everyone thinks you died.

[Lord Anglekos]

Man this corpse of a thread is old. Rotting, too.
Lets revive it anyways. Hell, might be fun.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when...

...your friend catches you snorting with laughter in your sleep and muttering "Godhand....troll....hehehe....yeah...."

...you sit down with your parents and explain to them that Althanas is NOT a drug-related problem, that its actually a site for writing essentially and focuses on writing, not role playing. And they understand you.

...you're writing something non-Althanas related and instead of saying "invincible" you write down "adamantium".

...music reminds you of that one time when you fought so-and-so...

...you can't play Devil May Cry anymore because Dante reminds you too much of some character someone made here.

[Aiko]

You start talking to your characters as if they were real people standing beside you, and they start talking back, but you have no clue as to what their saying, making it seem as if their their own separate people from your imagination.

Man that was creepy.

[Lady Blackwell]

hey that has happened to me ^.^, then again it could just be my multiple personality disorder, who knows :p

you know you have been at althanas too long when you can remember when Moderators were just starting out, and they still manage to level way past you and become a mod/

you know you have been at althans for far too long when hearing a certain song, makes u think of how awesome you could make a citadel fight go to it

guilty on both charges

[Taskmienster]

...when instead of reading a 19th century British story in class you circle things and make notes of why the pacing isn't well written and how the technique could have been improved.

Waaay too much judging... though my teacher found it hilarious when she asked what the circles were for. :p

[Siren]

...When you've done so much judging you figure you might as well be a career editor since you've got all that experience anyway.

ROFL!

Sorahn, that's fucking awesome.

[Unfulfilled]

Holy crap dude, that is fucking epic!

[Aiko]

You Sorahn, are officially the man, and have taken the title away from Taskmienster.

[Lord Anglekos]

...when you wake up in the morning, your mother asks you something, and you make a Zombie Groan of Discomprehension. And think of it in capital letters like that.

...you consider yourself a necromancer after reviving an old thread. :P

[Christoph]

You Sorahn, are officially the man, and have taken the title away from Taskmienster.

We need to stick it to the Man; he's always trying to keep the cool kids who just want to have a good time down!

You know you've been here too long when you remember being in a quest exclusively to stick it to the Man.

[Sorahn]

Christoph's just jealous of my awesomeness.

[Lord Anglekos]

Christoph's just jealous of my awesomeness.
Of course, of course. I mean, who wouldn't be.

You know you've been at Althanas too long when you start referring to your pants as "leather trousers".
