I resemble many of those remarks, especially the one about being on this site. No joke, I am on this site more than is healthy. Truth, the Main Member, has said "Dude... you're on here more than I am." He went on to mention this thing called Life I should look into getting.

Also, my collection is now indeed much larger than all the local stores combined. Tis true.

ej,

Sorry to hijack this thread but I wanted to let you know that for some reason I suddenly can't pm you. I have tried several times and I get:

[quoteForbidden
You don't have permission to access /community/privmsg.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.heroscapers.com Port 80[/quote]


Back on subject, I am starting to exhibit many of these signes

UPDATE - Well... Delete All certainly does what it says.

When every other sentence you say has to do with heroscape in some way.

I was totally getting ready to post a list like this one of these days. I love yours. Here's a few more for it. These are all true to life, sad to say.

11. You see two people conversing on the front steps of a building and you find yourself recognizing that one has height advantage over the other.

12. Out for a walk, you pass street address 1366 and you find yourself thinking "$13.66 . . . I've got to get to TRU."

13. Listening to a traffic report, you hear the mention of "roads" and you mentally draft the Dumutef Guard.

14. The title of the movie "The Last Samurai" makes you think of the end of a game.

15. You hear the phrase "Afghan Warlord" on the news and think to yourself "Fights for Einar. Bonds with Sacred Band."

16. You get mail from Hasbro delivered to your house and you can't remember ever having signed up for anything.

17. You've typed the word "Heroscape" enough times that its actually faster to type it than to bookmark a webpage.

18. While substitute teaching, you see a group of children slowly crawling across the floor with meter sticks in their hands and you mentally label them the Ashigaru Yari.

19. Everyday words like "Samurai," "Dragon," "Knight," etc. have all taken on a very specific meaning, complete with battle stats.

And finally . . .

20. You can't decide what to have for breakfast in the morning, but you have your next 6 armies down on paper already.

I hope others will add to this list.

CRAP! I'm all of the above.

I would drive 30 miles to a family reunion... if anybody in my family played Heroscape. Sadly I have a bunch of old people who can barely handle the excitement Idiot Bridge and another side of the family who things Harry Potter is of the Debbil. They make that "Christian-Soldier" "woman" from the wife swap show look sane by comparison.
