No, definitely not a waste of time. If we're having fun and enjoying playing SEIV, that's a good use of our time. We all need to have some fun in our lives.

Yes it is a waste of time! In the same way that exercising or sleep is a waste of time. It keep you mind sharp by making you keep list, make plans, do math, and hand eye coordination. Also you will be prepared to lead the Phongs to galactic conquest if they happen to pop in looking for a new CEO.

If you don’t have time to waste you’re working too hard! There is a balance in how time should be spent.

Of course it's not a waste of time. Where else can you get training for the day when you become High Emporer of the Galaxy? You don't think they take people for those positions with no experience at all do you? It's not exactly like you can take courses in Inter-Species Negotiation, Physics of High-Energy Particle Zero-Gee Combat, and Advanced Megolomania at your local community college.

How can anything you enjoy doing be a waste of time?

JOMT-syndrome kicks in and then it is a waste of time...

("What's that honey? Are the taxes done? Well, no, but Isshantristi-IX did finish its System Gravitational Shield Facilily this turn... does that count? Anyway, our mineral production is overproducing at the quarter-mil mark, so barring a total disaster in Obotron next month we should have plenty left over for the IRS.")

I think, at that point, it is time to pay your reality check...
