You KNOW That You Have an AE Problem When...

Post by Admiral DadMan »

...you're waiting and waiting and waiting all day for your PBeM turn, and it doesn't come.

So you think about starting an AI game, but you don't want to dilute your thought stream in case you might get a turn back.

But then you toy with the idea of taking on another PBeM game...

If his opponent doesn't show up for the AE support meeting, things can get ugly.

For a moment there, I read "gorn" and not "porn". That would be bad.

You know that you have an AE problem when you receive a company memo informing you that a colleague who used to alternate between our offices in France and in California is "on PTO from now on" - and you think it means that he is now exclusively working in the "Pacific Theater of Operations" (instead of being on "paid time off")...

It's good design. LRCAPs really screws up stamina contrary to CAPs, so you do not want to lock it )

You KNOW your are an AE Addict when your Significant Other can tell the moment you start edging for the stairs to the man cave and she says 'DON'T!' See--you KNOW Dan wants another turn to pommel you and you really, REALLY want to get pummeled, however, the wife KNOWS ALL, SEES ALL--just like Allied Intelligence!

You know that you have an AE problem when you are a 46-year-old male traveling on vacation with a 23-year-old woman who wants to be your girlfriend and all you can think about is the river crossing at Singapore.

I always thought that Key was a shortcut to Cap Mandrake's latest AAR post...[&:] . What could be more important?

The AI follows a careful script that will go crazy if upset by poor timing, an overly aggressive strategy, or unorthodox tactics. The AI also masses every available asset and moves relentlessly on its objectives oblivious to resistance and without regard for its flanks. The AI ignores logistical considerations and assumes that auto-convoys and secret caches will maintain it forever. In these respects, many women are like the AI.

I understand this well. Over the years I have made it a sport to do game turns in interesting places. Bermuda, Hotel Lanai in Waikiki, at a Starbucks on the waterfront in Victoria, etc etc Sort of combining two great things at one time.

I really should start a new PBEM, its been at least 18 months... After an absence like that, just getting familiar with the game again has been like seeing an old friend after a long absence. Something comfortable about it.

My advice, look at porn til you get your turn.

That's hard to do.
