This is commonly referred to as "The Moloch Effect". Whenever a game designer implements the Moloch in his game, the evil begins to bleed through from the netherplanes into our world. The Moloch's insidious plans begin to take over, and he secretly begins to modify the game code, ever so slowly making it more and more complex, until even the most dedicated gamer could never fully comprehend the intricacies of gameplay.

It has the added effect of drawing humans deeper and deeper into the game until completely addicted. They begin to plan game strategies while they're at work. They begin to have dreams of total dominion, and nightmares of being vanquished by some other pretender to the throne. Productivity levels drop, unpaid bills pile up, household chores are neglected.... some people are even affected so badly that they sit at their computer while their bladder swells to the point of near-rupture, yet they refuse to go to the bathroom!

His evil plan does not stop there, however, oh no! The Moloch effect will begin to make you have a strong desire to design your own game mods, make your own maps, write walkthroughs and guides, spend untold hours at gameplay, browsing this forum, and replying to every thread where you have the least bit of information to pass on. All for the sole purpose of drawing ever more and more humans into his domain.

I urge you to re-read the description of him given in-game:
"The Moloch is an infernal angel called or sent from beyond. Winged and dressed in horror, he will crush this world and make its inhabitants slaughter one another and suffer the torments of the Inferno. The Moloch will surely shatter the world unless he is vanquished."


It's too late now...the Moloch will not stop until he has gained total dominion!

"The Moloch made me do it!"
