128. When you read about how Henry V's army was very weak, tired, and sick before Agincourt, you suddenly wonder, "Well, by now he should have leveled a White Mage? If oit not, he needs to go back a couple scenarios and level one!"

Yeah...The French leveled up alot of Bowmen, didn't they? It's all very well to just wipe out the enemy army but you have to manage the XP!

Actually, it was the English leveling bowmen. The French were using knights to charge from close-to-swamp onto units on high defensive terrain, resulting in massive slaughter by the English. So the RNG saved the English in that battle. The French went and complained on the forum that it was broken, but the mods just rolled their eyes and pointed to the poor play of spamming charging units, and didn't do anything about it.

134. Your still up at five in the morning playing with people from Sicily and Turkey. (For all the people from USA)
135. You dream about ways to master Isar's Cross.
136. Your friends look the other way when you mention the word Wesnoth. (they are sick of hearing about it.)

If you still got friends outside of wesnoth, you don't play that much.

137. You find out that one of your best friends in real life and one of your best friends on the forum is the same person.

You know I did this internet test thingy: one of the questions they asked was:

I drown out troubling thoughts about my life with comofting thoughts about being online
always_ often_ sometimes_ seldom_ never_

I was laughing too hard to complete the survey.
...apparenly we can't go with it or something.

Meh, I do the opposite. When there's any internet drama or anything, I remind myself that I'm a real person and I live in real life. Then I go do real things.

138. If something in real life is too hard to solve and you are very desperate, you say "debug".
139. You are Wesnothian and play "Battle for Earth".

140. ...knowing every single post in this forum.
141. ...very surprised when you are hit far too often to be explained by sheer bad luck and blaming the bugged RNG when you play a game other then Wesnoth.
142. ...putting your knives into holy water so they hurt you less if you accidently cut yourself.
143. ...you are shot from afar, and several people stood between you and your murderer, and your last words are "NOOB!".
