OK, that IS a long time... :shock:

717: You cannot enjoy the casual games on the web because you can't modify them.
718: You never buy commercial games because you cannot browse the source code
718.1: And you cannot mod them as well as you can wesnoth.
718.2: And why would you want to pay more for less?
719: You download programs specifically to run wesnoth on or to talk about wesnoth.
720: You can remember more wesnoth battles than real battles.
721: Planes fly because they have the 'fly' movetype. 1 mp through air, 2 on grassland, 99 on all other terrains.
722: You try redefining yourself, but you can't seem to get the binary path right. (That means 'file path', right?)
723: You have plans for 'Wesnoth Operating System: Expanded', or WOSE.
724: You wonder why the typical casualty rate in battle rarely exceeds 20%... shouldn't is be at 90% to 100%?
725: You wonder why the cave in the mountain near your home looks like the mountain that it's in.
726: Types of rock: not igneous, not basalt... paving stone, pebble, obelisk, slab, mountain, ford...
727: You drink from the ocean because you can't tell the difference... it's all shallow water and ford to you.
728: You wonder how the moles in your front yard can make the hills, because the AI can't use that sort of WML.
729: You try to move_unit_false to school so you aren't tired when you arrive.
730: You only move 6 times a day. Otherwise, you just stand there.
731: You never move when someone else is moving.
732: You do not turn on lights or movies because the halo effect and the animation slows down life.
734: You never change your clothes.
735: You know more people in wesnoth than in real life.
736: You contest that, saying that wesnoth IS real life. And you abbreviate to RL, so you are not reminded of the inconvenience.

737. Whenever something happens in RL, the first person you want to tell is someone from Wesnoth.
738. You're on Wesnoth more than you call your girlfriend.

739. When your teacher at school hands out a sheet of paper telling you what percentage of your grade tests, quizzes, and homework are and you think, OMG! I better stay away from tests because I have a 50% weakness to them, and if I have such a high weakness then why don't I have any resistances like skeletons do? :?

740. You think that your test score would be your defense rather than your resistance.

melee hit is 98.4
during night
ranged hit 93.5

746. When playing a different game, when fighting a skeleton, you think that only your magic spells would help.

[edit]
forgot the "when fighting a skeleton" part.

747. You post in a topic like http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21915

And can actually remember names from the random generator and what units they were, at the time you found it funny :P

748. You cannot sleep because you start brain-storming around 3:00 AM.
749. Even worse, you start writing the code to implement your ideas around 3:30 AM.
