Yep, addicted.

war gaming is part of my lifestyle. I used to play all sorts of different games. But this game(SEIV) has taken the place of just about all the others. A day will come when I can no longer play SEIV. I hope it is far off. I do recognize that I tend to make life decisions on if I have a turn waiting for me at home however I am seeing that I can't let the game take over my life so I do try to cultivate other activities. I still go to work even though it cut's into my playing time.

SE4 is fun, but I play other games more that it.

Addicted in the sense that it's been the only game I've really played for the last 4 years, and in terms of the time spent working on various items connected to the game.

I'm in the very early stages of the addiction.....I have to get up at 7am each morning ....the other night I got home around 8pm decided to play a few turns next thing I knew it was 5am it was a very long day at work.I figure it will wear off eventually ,I'll still play but not as much as I am right now.

I wonder if I have time to play a turn before I have to leave.......sorry got to go play just one more turn.

I like the game for many reasons.

One it is fun to play, two it is fun to mod, and three it is fun in that it helps bring out my creative nature be it in story telling, ship set making, or modding.

It amazes me that the game is still going strong nearly five years after its beta release. Who could have imagined that this garage game, created by one or two people, could go up against such heavy weights as MOO3 and Gal Civ and win? My God what a testimate to the brillance of this games design.

Of course the modding community has played a big part in the success of the game and their controbutions should never be over looked.

To bad Aaron opted to go on to make SE V instead of providing an expansion pack for SE IV.

I would have gotten as much road out of this game as I could have before making a new one. If SEIV is still going strong, and I honestly do not know since I we do not have access to the sales reports, then why not make an expansion like they did with Gal Civ?

You mean that inner voice " come play .... , come play..." is not a normal thing? And honestly, that little crooked arrow is so tempting.......

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...
