Not so Lhuna. I've been the only member here a few times. Try coming online at 2am GMT, it's like a graveyard.

You know you're addicted to the Downs when your mum has been tidying up all round the computer and there is now a whole box full of various pieces of paper with notes from WW games, or Palantir quotes, or just general random information that you can barely remember the use of!

You know you're addicted to the Downs, when your variable piles of A4-papers (I'm not sure, whether this is an international standard, but I think so) that should be your working papers, come up, time after time, infected with sheets of a RPG or WW copies - with all those addenda, made by a ballpoint pen, sometimes being so small (because of the lack of free space), that you can't read them anymore...

and also:

You know you're addicted to the Downs, when you find out, that after being killed in a WW, the RPG having a stalemate and in the GD you are waiting for an answer, you just wonder, that you have so much work to do in so little time (RL) - and kind of wonder, how did you manage, when you were playing the WW, when you were due a post to the RPG and the GD just called for your post...

So much fun, I say, being addicted.
