Solace MUD Official Forum

This topic can contain either jokes or real life experiences. I'll share a little of both, and you can try to decide which is which  ;)

everyone reply to this please, and start your post as if the words "you know you've played to much solace when..." were already in front of it.

-you call in sick to work because your group is in the middle of Edges.
-you type "where" unexpectedly while in an internet chatroom.
-you become nocturnal to so you can play at peak times.

Mighty goppers often post `who pk` `where` `score` to IRC, not to mud :)

I know in text chat with people, I have often typed

"say"

in front of my text!

I usually type in reply  ;D

You type 'where' and 'who', while generally working on the computer.  :)
Right before an exam you discuss with your fellow mudder which char to roll next.
You visit the univercity just for the unlimited access to Solace as ooposed to the one at home.
You tell your friends(non-mudders), you're going to stay in today, because you don't feel like partying, but in reality play Solace.  ;D
Whenever someone acts not to your liking, you think of the cruel ways of PK you would apply to this person if only he played Solace too.

Damn, i need to stop playing this game.  :o :P ;D

you alias 'who', 'where', 'look', 'get', 'put', 'inv', 'eq' in the console of your workplace linux gateway so they have meaning, and mod your shell so any incorrect command gives 'Huh?!'

- when your girlfriend bitches at you for not talkin on the phone during play time :)
      *girls words*
- when you throw objects at your brother for bugging you and yell " YOU GOT    MANGLED!!"

You know you've played TOOOOO much Solace when you pull up at a stop sign, and think - SCAN LEFT SCAN RIGHT!!!!! WHERE WHO

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this or I'd have one messed up keyboard.  :D ;D ;)

-you try to make sure your finals don't conflict with the time you plan to play Solace.
-your real-life brother refers to you by past character names around the apartment and on the phone (this one is pretty annoying).
-you lose sleep over bad PK decisions.

You concentrate really hard on mentally casting locate 'random household' objects. Such as a missing remote or your keys.

- You hide in bushes and then jump on your friends yelling "AMBUSH!"
- You play paper-based MUD during lecture. One of the jerks is acting as server, others pass commands to him.
- You consider each person you meet.
- During funerals, you remember about "is DEAD -> get book" trigger and giggle.

- you realize your college major is useless and have an hour long arguement with your financial aid counselor trying to convert your credits to trains.

- you realize the ineffectiveness of quiet mode on your now ex-girlfriend

- you stop doing required duites at work claiming "there's no point...I only mastered that skill for my clan"

- After you beat your young son in thumb war...you fully loot him! and call him a noob.

You spend a day or two leveling an invoker to 25 and mastering spells then goto log on the next day and you've forgotten its name.

When you dismiss two consecutive classes in school with words: " I have some private matters to attend to..." and then you log on to your favourite kender character... ;D

When you find yourself saying the EMOTES!!! Like - raises her eyebrow at the notion! Or - shudders at the horror and represses her tears! Snickers at *HUBBY*. Well, he has given me the most oddest of looks when I express the socials and emotes from the games. Thing is, our daughter plays WOW and she TOO uses the socials and emotes from the game, so we both are forever saying them - and yes, we do get extremely strange reactions and looks from family and friends, and not so friendly friends.

So, TIME TO HAVE A LONG LONG BREAK!! (only because I am starting 3 months work - aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Solace, if you move baby world, you better leave a forwarding address!!!!!
