You know youre addicted to RPing when...Contin'd

Anything new will be in italics


To understand this, you'll have to know some things:
I'm a roleplayer. I roleplay on proboards sites, mostly for harry potter and sky high...
This list is mostly only about me and my two roleplaying buddies, Lee and Ley.
Not everyone does this.
If you can say 'yes' to more than half of these, you're addicted...no matter who you are.
and lastly, this was made just for fun. ^^


You know you’re addicted to RPGing when…

-you constantly talk about your RPG characters as if they were real-you type things in UBBC codes

-you know what UBBC means

-you have inside jokes with your characters

-you spend your offline time waiting for people to post to your thread, even if you already know what'll happen

-you get shocked when it DOES happen

-your friends all think you’ve got a crush on a fellow RPGer because you spend so much time playing with them and then get offline and talk about them

-you spend hours making signatures and thinking about people to use as your character’s celebrity rep…even if you know you’ll never use them-you fall in love with a character

-you have multiple sites all based off of one ground site that are basically all the same, but with different twists and plots, just to see what would happen…

-when you type something in an IM and there’s something wrong with it, you search for the ‘modify’ button-you choose your character’s speech color according to their personality

-you cry when something bad happens to your character-your character represents you and everything you want to do, but can’t

-you know how to end a thread perfectly

-you get annoyed when people make a post with tons and tons of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes

-you know multiple HEX color codes by heart-you fight over who’s going to start the next thread-when you’re bored, you post a super long post about nothing at all

-if posting is going too slowly for you, you write the end of the thread and/or plot they way YOU want it to end

-when you can’t think of a plot, you take something you’ve been joking about with other RPGers…even if no one was really all too enthusiastic about it in the first place

-you can make something good out of that meaningless thread

-you name your posts, so people know who you posted as when you tell them

-you refer to past threads when you don’t remember something that happened

-the other RPGers know your password

-you can’t go a day without RPGing without going completely insaneand, last but not least…

-You let your characters take over your mind...so much so that you fear they will one day push YOU out.

-You're constantly running out of ideas for one site and revamping a dead one or making an entirely new site.

-You remember every site you were ever on...And what they used to be.

-It's not fun to post with yourself...and yet you find yourself in a twisted kind of relationship with yourself.

-YOU SPEND ALL YOUR TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN, BUT YOU NEVER WANT THE SITE TO END.
