When you spend do the math and realize that yes, you did in fact just spend sixteen goddamn hours playing the game.
When you cannot figure out anymore how to communicate non-verbal feelings without going *smiles*/*shrugs* or something like that.
When you go to read an IRC chat log and start to read it from the bottom up.
I am so fucked.

When you yell at people for whispering, in public, in real life, because the little notifiers are annoying you to hell.

When you have notebooks and pages lying around your apartment all dedicated to cantr, blueprints of buildings. Or trading things with my husband like this,"I'll trade you 5 grams of blanket, for 10 grams of hugz" and so on

Sorry for putting this apparently in the wrong forum...wish I could find the really old one I've posted one before:

when you dream in GREEN!

when you stop your car, pull over to check your phone to see if one of your charries is lit because it is now illegal to text and drive at the same time (but you sometimes do that anyway too hahaha) (did BOTH of these two -- driving and pulling over while on cantr -- today!!)

when you don't want to go to bed on the off chance that someone posts on Cantr and you don't want to miss them!

when you give in to Jos because he is THE MAN when it comes to Cantr and when he asks you to do something you realize -- the creater of the GREEN asked you, of course your answer is yes rofl

when you should be planning your wedding because after all there is only 1 month to go but instead to check cantr on your phone before making the call :-D

Oh, I should have stayed "quit" LOL Thanks ROB! :p

You know you are addicted to cantr when
-the only bill you pay is your internetbill.
-When you dont go into the forums as much because it would mean time that you could be IG checking new events.
-When you toss your monitor out the window because the site went down...But wait you have a extra monitor in your closet just incase this happens.
-When your girlfreind says she has tickets to that Teddy Geiger concert but you dont want to go not because you would feel like the only guy that went but because you want to play cantr.

You're too excited for words when you come back to the computer and Cantr-Spy tells you 5 FIVE oh yes FIVE of your charries have activity -- and then you realize, NONE OF THOSE ACTIVITIES MATTER!! ARRRRRG. So now you're frustrated...because why aren't these stupid people SPEAKING? LOL WAKE UP!!!! *Sigh*

Ummm....so yeah, that didn't happen to me :roll:

Happened to me, but then with 13/14 characters. :evil:

You are addicted to Cantr when you spend days in a row pressing F5 (refreshing) (on) the Cantr player screen while you also got Cantrspy active.
- Every person lost in war is two too many.
- Respect comes from two sides and must be earned. Nobody has the right to it because of a title, sex, age, race or birth.
- What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
- I believe in True Love, do you?

When after five years you finally live somewhere you can get a solid internet connection, the first thing you do is sign back up and are actually excited that your forum account is still active...

You know you're addicted to Cantr when you physically cry when another character who was a friend of your character dies or leaves.

You also know you're addicted to Cantr when you use ** actions in papers for school or work, and have caught yourself several times doing it, and may have even turned in a paper with that on it to your teacher or boss.

You refer to new characters on completely un-related sites as "newspawns."

You also refer to your family member, friend, or neighbour's newborn as a "newspawn."


Fortunately I haven't been victim of any of these. *laughs*

Oh, look! *gasp* An action in asterisks! I must be a Cantr addict!

You close the stupid little browser tab 5 times...but CantrSpy says there's one more notification, just one! And I'll finish reading this forum thread...ooh, one more notification! I'll just do that before I go to bed...can't go to bed with a full cup of soda! Might as well wait...
When you find stupid excuses like that to stay on.
When you go bird-dogging the forums and IRC to see if anyone's online at 5am.
When your boyfriend says, "Come to bed." And you say, "But I have a notification!"
Or when you kick him off of the computer because "---" turned to "1" and it'll be "just a minute".

All of these have happened to me...today.
I got the bug back BAD.
70% cute, 30% WTF
