Post-planetarion syndrome
I'm checking the clock at work and getting slightly alarmed when it hits xx:55. This is a disease.
Oh and I'm pre-emptively denying the chance of someone making a funny about this not stopping me from crashing during the round.

Re: Post-planetarion syndrome
haha, i get that sometimes. I'm feeling like getting on home, and after a quick look at my watch I try to decide whether i should rush home to beat the tick or whether i'll miss it anyway so i can be more lax. I've been like that for years, even though i've not played PA since late last year.

Re: Post-planetarion syndrome
I am a bit like that at work if I haven't logged into pa for a few hours, then ofc realise there's no need to open an IE page during the break.

Waking up in the middle of the night worried if you have forgotten to pull your attack

Re: Post-planetarion syndrome
Nah guys, the worst is obsessively checking your planet several times during the tick even though nothing could possibly have changed. I do that far, far too much.

I do the same thing as Achilles all the time (constantly re-freshing gal stat like 40 times a tick), because its post- old skool-planetarion when incoming was updated instantly when they were launched.

Re: Post-planetarion syndrome
I get amused when I see it's 23 minutes to 2 in the afternoon on a 24 hour clock

Re: Post-planetarion syndrome
Its downtime - i'm still
1. Still waking up at 7am without an alarm clock, because thats what i have done for the last 6 weeks to give morning defence.
2. Not being able to sleep till 2am because i feel like i should be doing something.
3. Stopping myself from logging onto my phone wap to check for a jpg on saturday morning.

I must admit It sometimes feels slightly odd not having impersonated anyone for a long, long time.
