2. You know that once you click the load scenario button you can type in your password and hit enter before the PW screen even shows up on the main page...

You teach high school chemistry (like I do) and during a discussion of radioisotopes, I-131 comes up. Instead of thinking of the radioactive iodine used in medical procedures, you say to yourself, "Hey, that sounds like a Japanese sub.".

What's even worse is you telling the student adds to the discussion: "don't be silly, that's a Japanese sub!".

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I can quit anytime I want to. I've been consistently saying that about all things WiTP for the last 11 years now. [;)]

I cook part time in a busy Italian place and find myself thinking about my next move when preparing dishes. I also dream, yes dream about different things involving WITPAE. I think I need therapy. [:'(] GP

But did you also ask yourself if it has a Glen? If not, you are a rank amateur. [8D]

Problem? I haven't got any problem. Spending three hours (not playing the game) building a fleet maintenance/refit/repair spreadsheet to support game play, that's normal,,,,, right?

Using three spreadsheets on a laptop to support playing the game on a tower computer, ,, all normal,,,, right?

Well, it could be worse. You could be sitting with the kid in front of the computer telling him the story of WITPAE turn 345...

You have used all 199 game save slots and mourn for the ones you had to delete to make room for more recent saves.

I create backup directories in the SAVE directory and move my saves into the backup. I can keep all my saves that way. I usually move them when I get up around save slot 80.
