You know when you have played Gemstone too long when...

[Gan]

You pick up a piece of trash and when you throw it in the trashcan you visualize...

<As you place a simple piece of trash into a waste basket you feel pleased with yourself at having cleaned up the surrounding area.>

[Drew2]

When you dream in text occasionally.

I've done this before and I'm positive i'm not alone.

[Fallen]

You try to explain to someone why you just spent over a grand on fictitious boots.

[diethx]

When you dream in text occasionally.

I've done this before and I'm positive i'm not alone.

Nope, you're not. Although I haven't had a dream like that in about 7 or so years, heh.

[Methais]

When you have an "oh shit" moment after cursing out loud because you don't want to get soaped/warned.

[Asile]

When you start to say "sigh" or "blink" instead of actually doing it.

Dreaming in text is too common for me...and when I was taking some programming classes, I started having dreams about writing code. I do think, though, that one of my dreams helped me solve an issue I was having.

[Drunken Durfin]

I did catch myself typing "crack neck" and "yawn" whenever I did the same while sitting at the computer. Bothered me a little bit.

I have done the dream in text thing a couple of times too, usually after I have been on for WAY too long at Anfelt or EG.

[Bobmuhthol]

I guess it's not Gemstone specific but I've been known to refer to throwing something away as deleting or erasing it.

[Back]

I’ve had the dreams too. But I’ve never been able to actually read anything in a dream. I’ve tried but it gets all jumbled. The text dreams I have usually go like this: I can see the color of the window and the text scrolling and I’m thinking “Fuck I just died again” or some other situation recollection.

[Makkah]

I tried to kill a giant bear IRL. It killed me, and I had to decay. :(

[Methais]

You know you play GS too much when you find yourself converting RL item prices to silver.

[The Ponzzz]

...When you are really good at Jeopardy because of GS.

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

When you think twice about picking up a shell, in fear of erasing all thought.

[Renian]

When you wish you could 225 to people.

[Drew]

Back in the 90s when I was a huge GS nerd I used to say "laugh" instead of laughing. That's so embarrassing.

[Fallen]

You've permanently and irrevocably added such gems as nods, laugh, and smirk to your IM vocabulary.

Being firmly in the Gemstone closest with my friends I work hard at making sure this never happens.

[Fallen]

Try attempting to avoid using a fake language to respond to legitimate questions from bosses and co-workers. Before Dhe'nar-si came out and I was actually attempting to learn the language this was a serious problem.

[CrystalTears]

When you watch someone die in a movie and you wonder if anyone will come along and rez them.

God, same. I was suspicious of even using lol and brb, and things like that, until recently when I realized it's now very common.

[Allereli]

you begin associating real life items with GS ones. i.e. wow, a smooth stone, where's my aish'vrak potion?

you start looking around for your demon/familiar/companion/whatever and wonder why it's not following you

you want to animate road kill

you want to put a thing like guildmaster or forger on your resume, because you spent more time on it than some of your college classes

you donate to Brian (<3) because life without Psinet is so tedious

When you're walking through basspro on the way to the fly fishing section, take a peek at the archery area and start to think about fletching. And almost mention that you are a fletcher. Which woulda made for a long conversation.

Yeah, I always do this is a chat room when there's a lull in the conversation. I think I'm particularly prone to it because I used to play through the laggiest router ever, and whenever there was a lull in the incoming messaging in GS, I used to l or exp or inv to check to see whether it was due to lag.

Easy and common one... When typing on AIM, you type a ' before everything.

I have a thing, for some reason (mainly in the shower, god knows why) I think to myself 'Prep 702' ... very often. Not every day but maybe once a week or two - just 'Prep 702' over and over and over again.

The text dreams I have usually go like this: I can see the color of the window and the text scrolling and I’m thinking “Fuck I just died again” or some other situation recollection.

I've had a few text dreams the last year. In the years prior I've never had any. I can usually read them clearly. The dreams are a mix of text and a visualization of the text. They also have short story lines that make sense but are completely pointless. Unfortunately, I still remember some of the scenarios very vividly. They're really off the wall wacko. I've woken up in a panic thinking something actually happened IG.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I thought I was a lunatic, turns out I just play too much GS.

Another sign I've been playing too long...

This week we went to Luray Caverns, the biggest underground caverns on the East Coast (that's open to the public, anyway) and around the time our tour guide told us that there were a lot of images we could see in the stone if we looked, I saw a formation that made me think of...a wraith *stares*

The next day, we took a "short" hike through the mountains (longest mile I've ever walked, though), and as we were maneuvering over all the rocks in the trail and crossing the little stream that eventually went over the falls we were going to see, I kept thinking of the trail from the Landing to EN and how Strength and Constitution should play a factor into whether a character might have a roundtime having to climb UP and DOWN the steeper parts.

Wraiths are nowhere close to GS-specific.

In fact, I'm quite sure I did it early this morning in the shower as well... "prep 702" and "prep 720"

I have a friend who also plays a Sorcerer and we both randomly send txt messaged or emails to each other that say "prep 720, cast at cronuss" and such cause it will randomly pop into our heads.

I glanced at my BBQ grille the other morning and briefly thought if I needed to make any iron that day...

Back in the 90s when I was a huge GS nerd I used to say "laugh" instead of laughing. That's so embarrassing.

God yes. When my buddies and I all started in the 90s, we had BAD habits about hanging around before classes, conversating, saying "laugh" or "chuckle" instead of actually commiting the act.

Mad and I are still bad to this day about using GS commands in IMs.

I also tend to say "belch long" when belching.


you want to put a thing like guildmaster or forger on your resume, because you spent more time on it than some of your college classes


lol, QFT.

[Sylvan Dreams]

You* wake up for work and briefly decide you're just gonna go back to sleep and afk script your job today.

*People who don't play GS for a living

I actually did afk-script my old job and would go around and socialize in the workplace. I miss that job.

I never actually say the commands out loud, but I'll sometimes think them or wish that I could do things like set a gold ring instead of having to walk to my car.

Le sigh...

Yes...I still say actions out loud. WTF is wrong with me.

I distinctly recall saying "laugh", "roll laugh", "chuckle", and other things instead of actually doing them out loud. Sigh.

Fuck yeah. Even though my physical training is pretty weak I still wish I had 130.

Earlier this morning, I was posting a classified ad to try and sell some sheets of stained glass. At the bottom of the post, I wrote:

Delivery to the Landing, Ta'Illistim and FWI.

I posted it like that, then I had to delete it and repost it.

You know you have played too long when you figure up how much you have spent on Gemstone and realize you could have bought a new car with it.

[Michaelous]

....when you are banned but still buy uber items anyways

[War Angel]

I told my kids I was going to put them in roundtime if they didn't stop fighting.
Roundtime ... time out ... same thing?

[DCSL]

Did your kids understand or was it more like "WTF, Mom?"

It was a WTF moment. They stopped fighting long enough for my teenage son to call me a noob. Although the teenagers show an interest in Gemstone, my spouse and I don't allow them to play. I recall what a life suck the game was when I first found it, and would rather my kids have a chance at social interaction outside the computer room.
