Hello.

I definately am not addicted... I can quit ant time I want to. I just like it a lot but that doesn't equal addiction. Addicted - that's what my wife said. What does she know? She is not in my brain - she is not a physic race! For her own good, because she does not understand what addiction really is, I let her know that I am doing business work when she yells at me to come to bed at 2 AM. I really only play on weekends, but because I hate to hold the other players up I am forced to play on weekdays, but only out of the goodness of my heart. I have to get the turns in, right? Sometimes I am late getting my son from school or for a doctor appointment because of that. Darn nag emails. That's what does it. "Hey! get your turn in already" makes me do it. If only it wasn't for those nag emails I would manage my time better. They do it. It's them, not me. Anyway, I don't have much else to do I don't think - not that's REALLY important anyway. Then there's those times when my empires get really really big. Whew, so many hours. That's not my fault. Wish there was more then 24 in a day. I'd get in a few more games that look good. Well, I am rambling - sorry. Just wanted to say that "addiction" is a very strong word, so think hard before admitting to that. BTW, I wanted to check out a SEA (Space Empires Anonymous) meeting because my wife was on my back - but only just to make her happy. I couldn't find one. Imagine that...

You know you're addicted when you start to formulate ideas on ship designs, potential treaties, who you can go to war with and win and make up war plans...while you sit on the bus, reading assignments, in lectures....

In response to the spouse nagging, do what I did. I got my husband hooked too! :}

For your first question "How many times a day do you play?", I answered 1-3 times, but the fact is that those sessions can last up to 3-4 hours at a time. Time just flies by.

What is the meaning of this word, addiction? Space Empires does not rule my life. I am entirely free to leave the game as I choose and can even go for days without looking at it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and vaporize some EEE.

I haven't really played the game in quite some time now. I mod, I mod, and then I mod some more. Then I go to sleep. In the morning, I go to school and actually dream up ideas during school time and sometimes I put them in a semi-data-file-like txt file and email it to myself. When I get home, I start modding. I have dinner. I mod some more. Then I go to bed.

In fact, up until about a week ago, I realised I haven't played any game for three or so weeks - VERY unusual for me as I'm totally addicted to computer gaming, and I used to play games for hours on end each day.
