Crockett Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 This story is true ! Today after a few hours of playing a CM operation I went out to do some shopping and was walking with my eyes looking down at the pavement in front of me , my brain working over-time while I'm planning my next move in a CM scenario :how to cross a guarded bridge during a night mission , the fastest as possible with the minimum casualties ? Suddenly my eyes saw the edge of the pavement :I raised my eyes to look at the other side of the street to prepare myself to cross and then , for a second I "saw "on the road,a Blue line ,from my feet right to the other side of the street and at the end the words " Move & Hide ". Again, that's a true story , not a joke ! Of course the Blue Line and the Move & Hide I "saw " , were only in my nervous system and there is a psychological or some rational neurological explanation to this hallucination ( too much playing CM? ), but for a second I admit it was a bit confusing!.

Scipio Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 Don't panic. Your brain is only preparing to change you into a standart CM-zombie. Call it evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crockett Posted February 12, 2001 Author Share Posted February 12, 2001 Hey Scipio It seems you have some experience in the matter... So if this was the preparing stage to CM-Zombie metamorphose , give me a hint : what will happen in the next stage ? Is it dangerous ? Thanks in advance Crockett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJMello Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 The next stage is that you will yell, "Incoming!" and then drop to the ground and seek cover. The only danger is when and where you drop. The street is not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkmek Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 It can be fatal if you suddenly see the yellow stripes on the highway and think you have been 'spotted'. Try not to swerve into oncoming traffic. Happy Gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 The next step is when you are waiting to cross the street and you mentally drop a TRP in the middle of the intersection -right next to the AT mines... Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 Every day when I walked up the hill to my house, I plotted the best places to site AT guns and zooks. Give me a platoon or two of inf, an 81mm mortar, 2 zooks, and 2 57mm AT guns, and I could hold off a battalion. BTS is a real pusher. The first two (battles) are free. By then you're hooked, and they've got another lifetime customer. But I can kick the habit anytime I want to.

Your eyes get insensitive to all kinds of radiations, your ass get some flap for sitting on all grounds, you're able to sing Sunzis 'Art of War' forward and backward. Also, your tongue will grow up to 8 m, so you can get food from the fridge without leaving the computer or catch something that flys/runs around - be carefull with your children - and BTW, you will be able to reproduce yourself unsexual. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen!

gunnergoz Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 Well, at least you haven't camouflage painted your car/truck yet. I actually did that once when I was enamored of the then-new MERDEC camo schemes. Drove around for weeks deciding which color scheme was best for my area. Later a cop told my my stealth truck was hard to visually track (this was before CHP had radar) and so he let me off with a warning for "probably" speeding. Nowadays, thanks to CM, I merely spend hours in front of a monitor trying to come up with the "perfect" grass scheme...(sigh). Can't top DD yet, but I'll keep trying.

Crockett Posted February 12, 2001 Author Share Posted February 12, 2001 S**T.. I'm getting scared.From reading you answers I have some indications that stage 2 has started ! Originally posted by Scipio: ..Also, your tongue will grow up to 8 m, so you can get food from the fridge without leaving the computer. My tongue did not grow yet,(maybe?) but since a few days I'm eating all my meals sitting next to the computer.

At the end of last week I went to the Income Tax office and felt spotted when I saw hundreds of yellow stripes converging to me!

Thanks in advance Crockett Don't forget the final and most dangerous stage. Soon you will start dressing in full camouflage with combat gear. You will issue yourself a BAR or M-1 rifle, live off of K-rations, and everyone around you will begin speaking in German! When THIS happens, you should start playing CM for 5 hours a day instead of 24 and seek medical help……... -Head ------------------ "No man ever won a war by dieing for his country.

CMplayer Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 This happens to me, but only in audio mode. I put a plate in the sink and here that sickening 'armor penetration' clink, roll over in bed and the sound of the sheets is some far off firing.

Guest Space Thing Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 Recently, I said to myself, " Hmmm, nice mod." The only problem was that I was in the passenger seat of my car & I was looking up at the sky. No kidding. It just came out without even any trying on my part.
