You know you play too much Achaea when ...

Jiraishin

I keep referring to NPCs in other games as 'denizens' and getting really puzzled looks.

When you want to briefly research something and find yourself typing "HELP [SUBJECT OF INTEREST]" into Google...

I do that with "man" instead of "help" all the time, does that count?

I have read over 500 pages of forum comments at work over the past week... And I'm sad there's not more to read :<

Also, one of my friends managed this one a few years ago: when you get the "you are feeling hungry" message, get up, go to the fridge, start looking around... And only then realize you're not the one that's hungry.

I've done that in reverse before. Got hungry IRL, so I had my character eat something in the hope that it might help.

At work yesterday, our number machine was off, so when my friend asked who had the next number, someone said 66.  To make sure he wasn't skipping anyone, he asked for anyone with a number below 66.  A man starts giving his order, without raising his hand or even being acknowledged.  My friend asks him his number, he says he didn't have one, and then I accused him of bringing chaos into creation.

When you have a dream about an event happening at the stygian crossroads, and you do IH and see something strange in the room - a bird denizen with only a single-line description, clearly only half done. Then you notice Sartan standing there, and get:

The Divine voice of Sartan echoes in your head, "Heh. Oops."

And you consider dropping your own pet bird so that he might have a faster reference to work off of, but then inexplicably (I even knew this was a terrible idea in the dream) decide to send him a tell like:

You tell Sartan, the Malevolent, "*cuddles* *snugglenuzzle* It's okay!"

And then wake up in a panic going 'WHY ON EARTH DID I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA CAN I RECALL TELLS'

The flu is messing with my head.

Gibbi

When every bit of misinformation you find irl is blamed on Darkwalkers.

Siduri

That's what they want you to believe.

Kross

The seed of doubt has been planted...

If Darkwalkers are responsible for one, they are responsible for all!

Darkwalkers will rise to power!

*Hiss violently and move into a terribly shaded area considering it a "shadow"*

*whisper "Fear us"*

Siduri

Ohai Kross, you found my hideout it seems! *grin*

I'm terrible at this stealth stuff

Right, so it's not actually Achaea-achaea. This is probably due to too much forums before carb-induced nap-time.

It starts out in a subdivision, like really weird I can see the ascii map and everything but I'm still there. And I'm with @Melodie and some other guy having milkshakes, I dunno who it is but it's another Achaean. And I say I gotta go. So I walk to this spot on the map and there's a train station. And I get on the subdiv train and it drops me off at this huge bus depot.

So I'm waiting for this bus, it was like a big tour bus with a lot of people on it that I identified as 'general Achaeans' but we couldn't find a driver. Then @Mithridates scrambles into the driver's seat declaring that he had a license for large vehicles so everyone climbs aboard.

So I'm sitting on this bus and we're driving and I'm looking at @Anaidiana's blog about her sweet 6 year old baby girl who's got a chance to walk the catwalk with a famous troupe of vegan Jewish models. It was quite specific, they're vegan Jewish models except on modelling night where they get to have fast food so they don't look like they're actually starving.

Halfway through this article, Mithridates declares he's made a wrong turn and he turns the bus around. Except he doesn't wait for some legal point to do this, he just takes the bus over the curb. And we're on a slope, so he somehow maneuvers the bus over the curb and grass like at least 6 or 7 feet down back to ground level to 'start again'. And I'm screaming "wtf like how the fuck are you even licensed?" and nobody seems to think anything is amiss.

And then he tries to run over something on a road that looks like a tiny black lizard when we approach it but turns into an injured black crow as it scrambles out of the way and we go past. And it gives me this glare like "I'm @Wulfen, bitch".

Anyway, we get to our destination, which turns out to be the fashion show with Anaidiana's baby. And I'm some sort of reporter. And @Jurixe is the makeup artist. And all the models are just sitting around eating french fries and playing with the baby.

Then I get a call and I wake up.

Orzaansyn

When a recruiter asks you "what are you currently working on?" and you reply "Sartai".

Jurixe

If I'm the makeup artist, @Skye, those models better be clowns.

Berenene

I like how the bus they were in tried to run over @Wulfen

I had a dream once where for some reason we were defending against giant wolves and big buses full of Cyrenians, and the forums were erupting with complaints and arguments about how the buses were OP before they were even launched. While defending I figured out that the key to victory was the phrase 'kill it with fire', so I grabbed a big burning branch (they were just sitting around, I dunno why) and used it as a weapon, told everyone else to do the same, and got a cityfavour for quick thinking.

When you are driving late at night, and a light turns red just before you get to it, and in your head you say "Emote doesn't care that the light may or may not have been red. I'm tired and I will backstab any who say otherwise."

Kross

I was at work today, and we were crunching some numbers. My co worker asked me a relatively simple math question concerning his numbers, but I was busy with my own number calculations. I had 100 things on my mind, and I just turned to him and uttered, "Achilles math". He gave me such a weird look, that I had to explain. This is what quick thinking got me:

Achilles math is a reference to the Greek warrior, Achilles. He didn't do math, he destroyed people. So, when you have math you cannot do in your head, destroy it instead. Achilles math.

He accepted this, thought I was handicapped for a moment, but all in all I was kind proud.

I had to go into my work today to do some shopping. All of a sudden, this song starts playing over the PA:

And one of my co-workers starts dancing to it.

I look at him, and say, "Rocking out to @Xer?"

When you go on your first date with a girl and can't think of anything to talk about but Achaea.

But that awesome moment when she shows you a legit leather blackjack and you're just like "Yeah jesters use those in Achaea."

Berenene

Did you at least show her the "Bop" ability?

Kross

Not with the blackjack.

HELLO LADY

Yes, @Berenene, I broke my date's nose with her own self-defense device.

Then I would call that a successful date.  Also, it would only have been made more awesome if after the bop, you made her a balloon giraffe that she could ride.

What is this madness? There is no 'too much Achaea.'
