Joques Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 1) I couldn't really afford to buy it right now. 2) I can't afford to spend the inevitable two weeks straight playing it. 3) My soscial life will take a serious hit. Oh well, the deed is done. Might as well make the best of a bad situation. Now where can I find those CMBB mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrold Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Heh..heh..heh...all plans are coming together. 1. Think of all the other games you won't need to buy. 2. After the initial investment, other potentially cash draining activities will be minimized, which supports answer 1. 3. A social life is over-rated and often leads to excessive drinking, smoking, sexually transmitted diseases, and perhaps worst of all...marriage. All more expensive than playing CMBB. The question is "How can you afford not to buy it?" BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I'd say start with the tinyest and work your way up to the huge ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrold Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I would suggest playing the tutorials to get used to the system. I am still going through the ever-increasing number of available scenarios. Try 'Cracking the Egg' for some fun. Either way you will not be wondering why the designer 'rune' is described as being evil. BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHUh...how many sexually transmitted diseases would one have to have for the number to be "excessive"? A friend of mine just wanted to know, as he likes to keep everything in moderation, and wouldn't want to be classified as a glutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah! I wave my hand at you! Two weeks? TWO WEEKS??!! You're a fragile blossom, and no mistake. You shouldn't be taxed so heavily by the vagaries of Real World game play. Put your underpants on your head, and dance through the moonlight in a dew circle. That ought to give you the respite you need, you Squarehead whinger! Who are you kidding? It's unlikely you ever had a social life. Now We are your social life. Such as it is, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO plan however to resume my life by then and play CMBB in moderation. Dream on boyo. Once you have had your first free taste it's all down hill. Moderation, look at Seanachai he used to actually make sense. Now he is like a two bit whore prowling the dark corners of the local opium den. He'd rather be unemployed as it gives him more CM time (note: I am waiting for that turn Seanachi!) Abandon hope. We have all said I can quit when I want The sad fact is like all addictions it owns you. So lie back and accept it, it doesn't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
