You know you play too much Achaea when you're considering taking a History of Costume class because you think it will improve your skill as a text-tailor and jeweller.

Related: when you go shopping, you realize that you look at every single article of clothing and wonder whether it'll look good on Ruth and how I can tweak the design for Achaea. >.>

Xith

When you complement what a girl is wearing for the same reason you do in Achaea.

No wait... that's not Achaea-exclusive. <_<

Jiraishin

When you re-watch The Avengers and your first thought when the giant space-fish is about to come through that portal in the sky is "Here come the Dala'myrr."

Tahquil

Standing at a bar all day with sore feet and thinking this one of the reasons Tahquil wears boots always.

You just need mending

Boosteya

You try to make sure you're all caught up on Achaea events - but get surprised at the grocery store because Hostess went out of business at least an IRL month ago.

You feel the need to distinguish an IRL month from an Achaean one - in this thread!!

@Jiraishin I wouldn't be surprised if that was their inspiration.

complement?

com·pli·ment - A polite expression of praise or admiration.

com·ple·ment- A thing that completes or brings to perfection.

So yes, Ellodin. I obviously bring women's clothing to perfection, being a tailor and all.

Oceana

Nice one for here: Spelling mistakes.

Oceana

When your mind jumps to Achaea when you see divine names and not to the corresponding mythology.

Lyr

When you dream that @Antidas is sniping you with delphinium and you sleep in your dream. Inception(?!)

Erasariel

We obviously must go deeper.

BWOOONNNNGGGG

Mishgul

When tvistor snipes me all i hear is "ba ba booey. Ba ba booey"

You must have been bashing in your sleep.

Trilliana

When you see this:

And think "Hmm Mhaldorians love Krispy Kreme,"

Jhaeli

When you hear about the finale and you start trying to do the math to see if it'll occur while baby is sleeping, despite it being hours away.

...then, when someone mentions drugging their baby with anti-histamines in the Bal'met thread, all you can think of is "Damn, that's a good idea..."

Idelisa

... when while playing GLOOM you try to get points deducted from a player for poor RP for saying the word points during their storytelling.  <.<

Melodie

You know you play too much Achaea when, while being driven to work, you're uncertain if the driver knows where they're going, and you clench your OOC necklace like IC prayer beads and think, "Have faith, have faith, have faith..."

Then you suddenly realize you're agnostic. :-/

Iocun

You know you play too much Achaea when you're drinking something nice IRL and someone gives you a food item in-game and you think "eww that doesn't fit together at all".

I can't have my character eat rum balls while I'm drinking whiskey

When you continually use "say" at the beginning of your Facebook messages.

 Ugh, I have to stop myself from doing that all the time. On facebook and skype and a lot of other things.

This thread is pure gold.  How did I miss this?

I've done that, even when I'm already reading the forums in another tab/window.

Tanaar

I've only been back for a month and I had a text dream last night, wherein Lorielan came back as a Queen Bitch and absorbed the weakened gods that were injured but not slain by Bal'met (Prospero and Lupus.)

This sort of thing is why I kicked the habit in the first place.

Alyssea

When your rl friends continually tell you that you have no life because all you talk about is Achaea.

Xaetherian

Anyone else think of this series upon seeing this thread?

Alyssea

When you instantly convert normal, rl words to Achaean words. I read signs on the street of both "Betabel" and "Bautista" as "Babel" and "Batista" and did a double take. 

Daslin

When you play CoD and start "prepping" legs by shooting them first.
