If the first thing you do in the moring, after waking up isn't bathroom, coffee or the paper. But instead, you stumble to the computer to click you next turn of SEIV!

122. You keep upgrading your computer, just so that it can process the turns faster.
123. You spend all of Christmas playing SEIV, working on mods and posting in the forum.

124. When you keep taking No-Doz to stay awake for the 19th consecutive day of gameplay because you just have to do each race in a quick start at least once.

125. When you are so obsessed with the Maximum Turn Range Check Error that you spend days clicking "End Turn" with yur finger stuck on the "Y" key so that you can send Malfador a bug report when you finally get to turn 9999.9 and save it before ending turn and getting that error.(Yes, I actually have several savegames that I am working on getting up to turn 9999.9 - I've finally gotten to turn 4563.2 on one of those....)

126. You're playing SE for 6 years (me )
127. you're trying to get all you know involved into SE
128. you're actively trying to build an RPG community based off it
129. you play this game, or read the forum, before, between, and after exam studying
130. when you cant play you're inventind tactics and drawing images (school)
131. you're trying to figure out a use for most useless weapons in the game, in the late-game (i did that!)
132. when watching any Sci-Fi movie you're trying to link anything you see in there to SE (yes right, thats a cruiser, and those are PDC's and those are APBs and WMGs...)
133. when watching the same Sci-Fi's and you see something that doesnt exist in SE you consider it impossible
134. you keep staring out on the stars at night, thinking - 'are there eee?'....
135. you're either found out yourself or asked others how does every damn single thing in SE work

136. You buy a new game take it home and it is still in the package because you are busy playing SEIV on the web and testing your new mod and you call a friend to discuss better ways to play SEIV and How to respond to the bad guy in the current PBW game both you and he are allies in.

MB wrote a program that processes game turns automatically, designed for long tests of AIs in short periods of time. It would speed up that effort.
