When you listen to the news on the real life radio, and end up doubting the person is who they say they are.. :shock:

When you're writing a fanfiction and the whole thing is in present tense (or past-perfect, for flashblacks), just like how you type your emotes, and you can't stand it when you see regular past-tense in your narration.

When you're reading Anton Chekhov's "The Darling" and you subconsciously visualize Cantr characters for some of the names, even if absolutely nothing else (including gender) matches.

When you get all excited 'cause you think you recognise that map and wish you had it too.

(PS as a new player, I printed out loads of maps and poured over them, to my family's amusement)

Klojt trade list, numerous laws, other costing calculations, etc, as well as maps. Visitors to my house are often amused and confused. My children just tell their friends, 'my mother is a little nuts'.
