RolePlayGateway™

Haha...I have so been pledging number 127...

Not sure if this one was posted. I hope I didn't miss it...

130: You drive down the road and see something that triggers an idea for a topic. Then you look at your fiance, and exclaim happily at your new discovery.

131: You stay at work 3 extra hours just to spend time on the internet to catch up to second place in the posting contest because you're too cheap to get internet at your apartment. >.>

132: You sit at a wifi hotspot for 5 hours with the intention of doing schoolwork because you have two 10 page papers due, but you don't even pull out a single book because you're in the chatroom and can't bring yourself to leave it!

133: You spend the money needed to have internets just so you can connect to here.

134: You make RPGateway your homepage.

135: You find that you have an acute case of insomnia and don't know why only to find that you can sleep once your favourite rp thread got going.

Edit- I forgot to mention GUILTY XD

136: You fall on the floor trying to get off the toilet, because your legs fell asleep while trying to compose a post with your iPhone.

*Not yet, but when I get home I look forward to doing this some time.

***EDIT

137: When you just ran through all the previous posts on this thread to make sure you weren't repeating and you come up with 5 more reasons. (Plus this one.)

138: When a man has lost all interest in browsing internet porn, he has become addicted.

139: When a person ignores all sexual urges because they feel it diminishes their essence and the power of their posting, they are addicted.

140: When you quit smoking because you have to go outside to smoke and you are too busy composing a post, you are addicted.

141: When you love it so much that you want to share it with a loved one, and then regret introducing them because you are afraid they are distracting you from writing, that is when you are addicted.

142: When you just posted a terrible picture of yourself in a forum so your online family knows what you look like, you need an intervention you addict!

143. When you have a special folder in your bookmarks just for Gwing, containing links to every subforum and rp you are involved in.

144: When you're awake early in the morning at 4:29AM, browsing RPGateway and checking around.

145: When you have inside jokes from your RPs.

146: When telling inside joke to someone in chat, another person there thinks you are cyber-flirting.

147: You know you're addicted to GWing when you eat, breathe, dream, think and speak GWing 24/7 365 1/4

148. When you think of an idea for a topic that only you would probably like. You don't post it, but at least twice a week, you think of posts that you could leave in that topic, but still never get up the courage to post it. Then, when you go to post this silly thing in the addiction thread, you can't remember what the topic you're talking about is, but you'll probably wake up in the middle of the night that same day and have it hit you what the topic was. You'll then be too tired to get up and write it down, so you go back to sleep. The next day, you curse yourself again because you can't remember it until you see something else that will trigger what COULD be a reply to that nonexistent topic.

-coughs.-

149. You're involved in so many deeply-involved RPs that you have to keep a to-do list to keep up with which ones you need to reply to, on top of having a to-do list for staff stuff.

>_<

150. When you look at 143 and say 'Oh! That's a great idea!"

....guilty XD

151. When you check a post every 30 seconds, even though you know no one will post on it till the afternoon, however you hope by some weird fluke someone will.

SEVERELY GUILTY!!! XD

152. You work full time. (I'm a manager.) Although you consider your real job to be working as staff on Gw.

153. You can't help but post all new roleplay ideas you have, even if they aren't destined for success.

154. You go brb for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

155. You PM people when they haven't posted in your RPs for more than a day. Praying they are alive. (How else would you continue with the rp? You couldn't kill them in the rp, that'd be cruel if they are already not living ><!)

156: You know when you're addicted when you enter the chat with the sole purpose of RPing *cough*Saladin*cough*

157: When you PM everyone you know just to talk even though there's a chat there

158: When you send in 100 dollars to keep the forum running.
159: When you know fifty percent of the people's nicknames and real names on the forum, as well as a brief history. (I am slightly guilty of this I am workign on it XD)

You shall never know me XD

160: When you desperatly try to think of a good enough reason why you're addicted to post in a thread

161: When you have a folder on your desktop especially for Gateway, so that when you are away at the weekend, you can draft posts in Open Office to put up when you are back.

162: When that folder has sub folders for all the different things you are doing.

((Guilty on both accounts))

163: You've posted more than three new roleplays in one day.

164: You are in so many roleplays that you type the wrong responses to them v.v;

165: You make your own mobile device page to link you to various areas...

166. You dream about your next post.

167. You write down your RP as your composition during an English exam

168. You buy a laptop and subscribe to countrywide wireless and bring your laptop everywhere you go

169. You subscribe to all the topics you post in and set your MSN to give you SMS alerts.

170. When you get married and decide to e-mail your invites to everyone on RPGateway

171. When you decide to hold an online wedding with your RL fiancee.

Not sure if any of those have been posted, so sorry in advance if they have.

172. When you dream you are in the chat room talking to Remaeus and figher_rose_008 about not getting enough sleep, then you wake up and feel like you've not gotten enough sleep even though you HAVE. >_o

173. You're writing a report on the Great Wall of China and suddenly, you realize that the last two paragraphs you've written are brainstorming ideas for different RPs that you're in or are thinking about starting.

174. After doing what was said in 173, you immediately go to post it in this topic before you forget.
