How addicted to CB2 are You? (in Contests)

Pretty simple contest. Post a short description about how addicted you are, you know, a story.

I'm sure there will be lots of funny stories that are sadly true.

I'll give like, i dunno, 5k or something to the winner, this is mainly for entertainment value anyway.

My current story *not eligible obviously* is that I have SOOO much homework to do, giant biochemistry test on Friday, etc., and I still Have to get on here to spend my BA, because the NUB only lasts so long. As sad as I will be to see my NUB go, at least I won't be Quite as OCD about CB after that.

Alright guys and gals, let's hear 'em!

I have lost two nails from playing CB. Darn " C " and " Enter"

none of my real life friends are as good as my friends here :-P except one....and, ironically, he plays cb....

Daily routine:
1. 6:00 am - Wake up,go on CB2, and finish BA.
2. 10:00 am - Find a computer, go on CB2, and finish BA.
3. 2:00 pm - Find a computer, go on CB2, and finish BA.
4. 6:00 pm - Find a computer, go on CB2, and finish BA.
5. 10:00 pm - Go on CB2, and finish BA. Then buy all BA, then finish that as well. Then go to sleep.

Optional:
6. Between 10:00 pm - 6:00 am - Go on CB2, and finish BA before going for a midnight snack or the loo.

Oh, totally forgot the parts where one has to eat, work, study and all those kinds of superfluous things. ;)

I am failing my computer programming class because i am playing CB.

Good job!

There is a thread on somethingawful about a computer science degree, and the fellow who had one cutting hair after graduating.


Very useful class in a market that is flooded.

i stopped wearing my watch and started getting on cb and counting time by how much ba i accumulated since the last time i was on...
my character switching to 8 ba per ten minutes really killed my sense of time. it's been somewhat good for me though, i learned how to count (in sucsession) by 10's 9's and now learning 8's. not to mention the girlfriend i lost because i "spend to much time on that *long string of expletives deleted* laptop!" i get impatient if i go to a party or something and i am wasting ba... and finally, i helped my host brother set up a wireless network at school, so that i can "research school topics on the internet while in class" aka: play cb2 in school. i think that qualifies as addiction. i just quit smoking, maybe i can quit cb2??? lol, not a chance as long as my nub lasts ; )

I logged onto CB while I was on my honeymoon...

that was nearly cause for divorce......

;)

Sometimes I stay up really late at night until my girlfriend goes to sleep. Then I sneak into the bedroom and stare at her while I fantasize about her playing CB. Then, ever so slowly, I sneak closer to her... and smell her.

I've been out for a drink with friends and said "slash kick" to one of them.

I got a few weird looks when trying to explain...

hehe G_Beee, that's almost as humorous as me trying to /ignore some of my friends who were being annoying while i tried to talk to another friend in 'private'

^_^

Rathershady, your name fits you very well. Go away and lurk somewhere else lol!

Not really CB addiction but I did find myself saying 'LOL' while watching something funny on tv the other night. Luckily my wife knew what I said and why something like that would happen, which made it funny rather than weird.

But I do have a dream where I spend my leisure time out in the open air, walking in fields and talking to 'real' people....

Getting clan points is my main goal in life. I also got all my friends addicted to the game (I was also introduced by a friend) and we sit in the pub talkin about it, with frequent breaks to go on CB or better yet if I have my pocket PC play while talkin about it and drinking I'm in heaven! Sadness but this is my life now, lol!

I get called on in class and respond with 'FIREBALL!'.
I plan out my strat in math class.
I call my family members minions.
My eyes hurt from stareing at the screen to long.
I can recited my entire account including everyone stat and item.
I have 'PC dinners' instead of "TV dinners'.
I 'sneak' on to play CB when my parents ground me becuase i was playing CB and not doing my homework.
I think calculate how much XP and Cash i will get for that day, while taking a shower.

bah ....im done

heh that reminds me....i once made a list of every CB user i could think of during math class :-P

My daughter is crying in the other room. I'll go check on here when I'm done burning BA.

RedWolf475: he he

lots of great responses. please keep it going if you think of more, but the 5k is going to johnnywas for logging on during his honeymoon...wow. Even though some of the other responses may evince more addiction, or get a little bit more of a laugh, IMO that still takes the cake.

Bootsanator, you obviously have lots to learn. I would have been shocked if he hadn't logged in during his honeymoon.

I mean c'mon. Wives come and go, however there is only 1 CB.
Well, except that this is CB2, but you know what I mean :)

CB has saved my life, well saved my sanity at least. I have kidney failure and get exausted doing almost anything, including just leaving the house, so CB has saved me from going completely mad with boredom, I live in a CB fantasy world and most of the time its a lot better than real life, lol!

Lets see...

Work days:
Wake up, burn BA, train, go to work.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, hit the beach.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, go to bed.

Days off:
Wake up, burn BA, train, grab the wife, hit the beach.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, hit the beach.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, hit the beach.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, hit the beach.
Come home, burn BA, train, grab the wife, go to bed.

Maui is a good place to live....

(By the way, Maui is not misspelled.)

in MS word i accidentally hit the "tab" key instead of the "enter" key

Logging on to CB on your honeymoon is no big deal, I read 'Battlefield Earth' on mine.

I can quit whenever I want to....




which is never :D

Battlefield Earth? I'm not sure I'd read that anytime again, nevermind on honeymoon! I'd divorce myself first....;)

I spend my weekends staying up all night trying not to miss any BA. Normally during maths instead of doing work I work out strats and work out how much BA I make per day, week, year ect and how much money or exp I could be making if I didn't miss one BA.

im addicted, would write more but to addicted to play :p

My house has crap all over the place.
Dishes are piling up by the dozen and there is a monster in the fridge.
I just did laundry for the first time in a month.
I'm late to work almost daily because I stay up too late. I blame being late for work on my fiance, who is still in the states, to my bosses.
Boxes and papers and many other things litter my living room... well every room actually.
I tell people that I don't have time to clean it because I'm too busy.

The truth is I'm too busy burning BA.

That's addiction

Ewwwwwww. How can you sleep like that :P

In my bed next to the clothes that I haven't folded yet. lol

i can quit anytime i want.. just let me finish my fight list. pleeeeease I BEG YOU!!!

To compensate for the loss of carnage blender in my life, I asked my lady if I could be her Knight. You can't just drop three years of playing this game and not have urges. She said "Yes!" and I felt a lot better, if she had said "No!" I might still be playing. jk

I'm still working on getting her to try this out, so wish me luck.

My story is a bit weak, knowing some folks back in the day, maybe even now, fitting life (sleep, eat, work, toilet breaks) around CB, now that's dedic.. addiction :)

The CB Addict's dream.

well plain and simple, i hate cb2 :P
