You know you're here too often when...

[pendell]

So I log in, find a thread locked by the Giant himself and an infraction in my inbox from Roland. I find it questionable, and begin composing a short PM questioning the specifics of the action ...

.. then I wake up, and see that I'm still in the bed. It was all a dream. The Giant hadn't locked any of my threads. Roland hadn't sent me an infraction. In point of fact, I never HAVE received an infraction. Warnings, yes, but never any actual infractions.

DARN IT , ROLAND! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Roland is the Chuck Norris of moderators. I literally have nightmares about him.

I REALLY need to find another hobby.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Serpentine]

...you have nightmares about Chuck Norris? :smallconfused:

[Emperor Ing]

You know you're here too often when you've seen more than one "You log onto GitP too much when..." threads. :smalltongue:

[pendell]

...you have nightmares about Chuck Norris? :smallconfused:

No, I have nightmares -- one nightmare, actually -- about Roland.

Which is ridiculous. He's a kicka* mod but he's (probably) not a real-life super-ninja assassin. Even if he is there are such things as laws. The worst he can do is ban me from GiantITP. And why should that bother me so much as to have nightmares about it? It's a web-board, for cryin' out loud, not the key to civilization.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Coplantor]

Let's see, I had dreams with playgrounders, and I dont even know how they look like, sometimes, when thinking, my inner voice refers to myself as Coplantor... weird.

[rakkoon]

I've laid awake for two hours in the middle of the night thinking about my Werewolf games once, whether I was actually trusting the right person or not. It turns out I made the right choice but I quit playing for a month after that. Mental health and all.

Have not had dreams about specific playgrounders yet.

[Closak]

Well, there was that one dream where Lix Lorn was trying to seduce me...

And the one where i was chasing Lesser Minion with a laser chainsaw.

Or the one where i was the dragon in my avatar and was eating everyone...

And the one where Roland used me as a punching bag :smallannoyed:

[Castaras]

I regularly have realistic Giantitp dreams, wake up, go to the forums, and realise that that awesome thread I thought I'd posted was only a dream.

[Thufir]

I had a dream once that there was a Real werewolf game happening. Like, not real as in people sitting in a circle discussing who to lynch, real as in there were actual werewolves.
Oddly this was before I started playing. At the time I didn't actually know what it was, but in retrospect I'm pretty sure it was that.
Also, for some reason TwoBitWriter was a DarkOrange version of Brian from Family Guy. :smallconfused:

[Dogmantra]

Well, there was that one dream where Lix Lorn was trying to seduce me...
I had a dream where Matt Smith (of Doctor Who) became the Prime Minister and I had to go on a school outing to a sewer located in a theme park and I asked if I could not go to the sewer because I wanted to go to the roof to hang out with Lix.

[The Succubus]

Lix has an impressive number of stalkers, if this thread is anything to go by.

[Serpentine]

Or else she's stalking a lot of subconciouses.

[Dogmantra]

Lix has an impressive number of stalkers, if this thread is anything to go by.

I prefer the term "lover slash husband" :smallwink:

And to be fair, she was only in it as an alternative to watching a cow with a pre-cut out steak moaning because the rain was hitting its exposed muscles.

[Dr.Epic]

DARN IT , ROLAND! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

The playground is the Matrix! Roland is Agent Smith Hugo Weaving!

[CurlyKitGirl]

I've had dreams about Playgrounders. Fairly often, both as in: iust posting on the forums and having a great time, and as in if the entire forum was turned into a small town and everyone lived there.
The latter was amazing by the way.

I've been deified by certain Playgrounders. That's definitely a sign.

But I've started accidentally using my nicknamesitP in real life. I mean I iust signed an email as Koorly and didn't realise until I sent it. Good thing it was only to friends.

Now that I think about it, most people seem to have dreamsitP around here. Maybe we're iust so nice and wonderful that we're easy to dream about? And our oddness creates some excellent dreamscapes.

[Alarra]

I've had dreams about playgrounders. Many times. I've been diefied by playgrounders too....and that was even years before it became popular. =P

But let's see....
when 90% of the people you were friends with when you first joined have left?
when you met the last 4 people you dated here?
when you met your husband here?
when you fake married someone in town, people you didn't even know thought he was actually your husband?
when you made an account for your son before he was born?
When you've been a member of the playground longer than it took you to get your bachelors and masters degrees?
:smallbiggrin:

[Thufir]

Oh yeah, I also once had a dream about OotS updating. It was very confusing when I then got up and actually checked to find that there was no such update.

[TheLaughingMan]

I know I've certainly been here too often, seeing as how I've racked my rank up to 'Dwarf' in less than a month.

[Trog]

when you fake married someone in town, people you didn't even know thought he was actually your husband?
Hell of a ceremony as I recall. :smallbiggrin:

When a thread you started once for fun spreads to a whole other forum and between the two of them there's over a quarter of a million posts in all the threads combined. o.O

[Mando Knight]

Which is ridiculous. He's a kicka* mod but he's (probably) not a real-life super-ninja assassin. Even if he is there are such things as laws.

He is the law. Haven't you heard? :smallamused:

[GrlumpTheElder]

I've had a dream about an OotS play, not quite the same thing, but still...

[Delusion]

Should we have warning "GiTP will destroy your dreams" or something? :P

[ApeofLight]

Probably should have a warning like that.

One time my friend read so many OOTS comics at a time he started to dream in comic panel form.

[Cealocanth]

I don't think I've had a Playground dream yet. But seeing that I'm an exception, I have a feeling there's some mind con...go back to your fun...

[Supagoof]

:smallbiggrin:How about if you've attended the wedding of playgrounders? :smallbiggrin:

Or when KUBB has been played in many alterations (snow, wedding, night-time, etc...) and you've been part of them.

Over 50% of your facebook friends are also members of this Forum (AWESEOME!)

You've been to more then one locale for a meetup?

And yes - I have had dreams that starred forum members. I recall one of them had Shadow and I in a knife fight...I think it was during Pirates III.....:smalleek:

[Cristo Meyers]

You've been to more then one locale for a meetup?

Or the idea of a 10+ hour drive to meet weirdoes from the internet doesn't immediately put up red flags.

As bizarre as my dreams have been in recent memory, I'm glad that I haven't had another Playground one. I'm afraid of what might come out...

[smellie_hippie]

You all need to go check RHL 's facebook status from a bit ago. She has been using Playgrounder names to recall medications and medical procedures.

she wins a portion of this thread...

[Thufir]

Pretty sure all the UK meetups have been in different places, so I don't think this one is that big a thing.

Edit: However Dallas gets points for having attended meetups in two different countries.

Consider that, for a fair number of us, attending the main Tennessee meetup is a 1000+ km journey.

Depakote-Divalproex. De packs a coat, because she's an ex pro diva

[Krade]

So far I've only had dreams involving plyagrounders I've actually met. Most recently, there was a party/meet-n-greet between my playground friends and the rest of my friends. It was... odd.

[YPU]

You randomly mention planning another meetup and your parents say it would be fine to do it at their place because it was really nice people the first two times.

[Serpentine]

My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?

[Destro_Yersul]

when you fake married someone in Town, people you didn't even know thought he was actually your husband?

When someone says this, and you remember what your character gave them as a wedding gift.

[Cealocanth]

You know you're here too much when you use the term playgrounding to people whom you've never met before, and then expect them to understand what you mean.


Friend: It's been a slow summer lately. What have you been doing today.

Me: Mostly playgrounding.

Friend: ...what?

[X2]

I had a dream about Roland once. Our avatars got into a punchup in the parking lot of the local JB Hi-Fi. I don't remember who won.

[ForzaFiori]

I haven't had any dreams about playgrounders yet, but I have dreamed I was in the OoTS world, and I've laid at night for hours trying to figure out what to do in various games.

Oh, and I also come here for advice on personal problems before my best friends, which is kinda strange.

[Blue Ghost]

You know you're here too much when you use the term playgrounding to people whom you've never met before, and then expect them to understand what you mean.

This.

And you know you're too hardcore a Playgrounder when you embark a three-month-long, very aggressive recruiting campaign for the Playground. (Which bore little to no fruit.)

I don't remember any dreams about the Playground, surprisingly, though I remember very few of my dreams.

[Moff Chumley]

Ooh, I've had a Roland dream once... I actually posted one of the unspeakable comments that are constantly racing through my head, then I got insta-banned.

That dream sucked. :smallfrown:

[doliest]

You're here to long when people are starting to question if you sleep because that green light is never gray.

I've started talking like I post, including self-censorship and pronunciations and writing my verbal ticks. Heh.

[Cobalt]

I've yet to dream wondrous dreams of Playgroundvile. But I hope to reach that Nirvana some day. Then I will join in the frolicking. One day.

One day...

Though I have started speaking how I post to people. It's not a drastic change, but I've noticed it recently.

I'm still waiting for the day I respond in public to 'Cobalt.' And for someone who will call me that.


My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?

I'm sure someone has. But I'm betting they won't speak up, because it was probably someone who was afraid of snakes.

[Mr. Mud]

My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?

:smallredface:. You-in-snake-form killed me by eating me, and a gigaton of dynamite. And then the United States annexed Australia. And I distinctly remember limited edition root beer bottles with our faces on them... to, you know, commemorate our deaths.

Which is odd, because I think I've only seen one or two pics of you in the (You) thread... :smallbiggrin:.

[Anuan]

My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?

Not in a board-safe way.

You know you're here too often when you think it's possible to be here too often.

Wow.

...when most of your real-world conversation topics at least relate to the forums in some way v.v

[doliest]

My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?
I will now that you've brought it up. Thanks Serpentine, I was hoping to dream of things not involving snakes tonight. Lovely.

[Mr. Mud]

Awesome :smallbiggrin: Though a run of green ginger ale would've been more appropriate...

Are there other hues of ginger ale?

I also dreamed of lurking the forums, once, but he color scheme was slightly different. And jeez, my "OCD" was of the charts. Until I woke up and rushed to my laptop to see what was happening.

[Serpentine]

Dear Mud,

:tongue:
Sincerely,
S.

He'll know what it means :smallamused:


And yes, there is, when you add green cordial to it.

[Mr. Mud]

Dearest Serpie,

:eek:
Sincerely,
Mud

She'll know what it means :smallbiggrin:

I always enjoyed that online notifier. It's a shame most of the regulars usually lurk with the "appearing offline" thing toggled.

[Illven]

My vanity requires me to ask... Has anyone ever dreamt about me?

Your were a teacher in my school, and you were short like coming up to my ribs, and I'm 5'10, and you had purple tinged skin

[YPU]

I used to have dreams involving Playgrounders quite a bit back when I was on the IRC chat a lot, late at night before going to sleep. (gee, might that have something to do with it?)

Is there still a chat or not?

[The Succubus]

Briefly Serp, after that comment I made in the Relationship thread. You were curled around the statue David and tickling it under the chin. I went to a barbeque afterwards and don't remember the rest.

[Lioness]

When you start thinking of yourself as "Lioness" in real life. Doesn't help that I use that name of about 3 other forums too though...

[Tiger Duck]

Then I'm safe, I don't think I'll ever see myself as Lioness. :smallwink:

[Zeb The Troll]

Due to meetups, at least as many people know me by my board name as do by my real name.

Plus about half the things Alarra mentioned. :smallcool:

[Anuan]

When you start thinking of yourself as "Lioness" in real life. Doesn't help that I use that name of about 3 other forums too though...

I've been 'Anuan' since I started socialising on the internet.

Not quite as many, but many Itp friends are gone. :smallfrown:
My one and only boyfriend was on Giantitp. :smalltongue:
While on Giantitp I've done 4 years at school, that count? :smallbiggrin:


But I've started accidentally using my nicknamesitP in real life. I mean I iust signed an email as Koorly and didn't realise until I sent it. Good thing it was only to friends.

I have a t-shirt with Castaras and the symbol for Pi on the back of it. It's an uber t-shirt. I wake up sometimes and think of myself as Castaras instead of Lizzie. :smallbiggrin:

[Alarra]

However Dallas gets points for having attended meetups in two different countries.

I've been to meetups in two different countries, as has llama, zombierockstar, indurain and phoenixineohp.

[Zeb The Troll]

And then there's B-man, who's Canadian and been to meetups in the US, but fails to make the ones in Canada. :smallcool:

[Cristo Meyers]

I'm still waiting for the day I respond in public to 'Cobalt.' And for someone who will call me that.

Discounting family, more people know me by Cris than actually know me by my real name...

[Serpentine]

Y'know, this happens a lot in real life. Take, for example, my friend Wookie. My Boy's friend was talking about how Wookie's girlfriend changed her relationship status to be in a relationship with another girl. They - Boy and his friend - were wondering if that meant they'd broken up. Boy said, "have a look at his Facebook." His friend said, "Yeah, sure. So what's his name?" Boy replied "... I... don't... know."
I know I do know, but I forget.

[lesser_minion]

I think I need to know what I did to warrant being chased around with a laser chainsaw, tbh.

[Lord Raziere]

I know I'm here to often because I actually remember posters names and avatars.

Names of my own classmates? Not a clue.

[Archonic Energy]

did you know next sunday is my 5 year anniversary?
:smalleek:

...when you can't remember how you spent your time on the internet BEFORE the playground!

[Murska]

I've laid awake for two hours in the middle of the night thinking about my Werewolf games once, whether I was actually trusting the right person or not. It turns out I made the right choice but I quit playing for a month after that. Mental health and all.

Have not had dreams about specific playgrounders yet.

I've actually spent many a night awake and gotten many a school textbook filled thanks to WW games.

[Alarra]

I passed my 6 year last month, it's crazy.

[Mr. Mud]

That... that is crazy. I'm about to hit four years. Whoa.

Well, no matter. It's still 2008 in my head.

[YPU]

You can recognize the voices of other forum members from across the world.

[Moff Chumley]

stupid no one telling me about the bay area meet ups and stupid not having a liscense...

:smallannoyed:

[Cristo Meyers]

I passed my 6 year last month, it's crazy.

3 years come October...

Speaking of:

-You can remember your Playground anniversary because it's the same month as your wedding anniversary.

And for something completely different:

-You have members of the forum that you consider family outside of the board.

[CurlyKitGirl]

-You have members of the forum that you consider family outside of the board.

This too.
And many of my Playground friends are as close, if not closer to me than my real life friends.
That I can attribute my more outspoken nature to the fact that speaking intelligently on varied and obscure topics is a good thing.
But most importantly, that you can refer to books, films and various other things by the person or people who recommended it you. Or entire lessons or topics.
And I think that as I'm planning my first trip abroad proper around a meetup with Playgrounders as well as my university friends might be a sign as well.


Realising you've been here for iust over three years - all of it on the same laptop - which is practically the entirety of the time you've had access to the internet in your own home.

[pendell]

I appreciate it as well for two reasons:

1) I don't have to respond immediately. I can pause, think, research, write, then re-write to take the edge off the post if it comes across as kind of mean.

The problem with face-to-face is that anything you say can't be taken back, and it can hurt for a long time.

2) People in online forums don't simply disappear when you move or they move. Real life meatspace people, it seems like they're your friends until you change a job or an apartment or some other life event, whereupon they disappear forever and never respond even when you e-mail or otherwise try to get in contact. You're off their horizon -- you no longer exist.

That doesn't happen here.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Dogmantra]

I once seriously debated going out with meatspace friends or staying on Skype to chat with a playgrounder.

I also assume that unless otherwise obvious, "Dog" refers to me. Including in the meatspace.

[The Dark Fiddler]

...when you can't remember how you spent your time on the internet BEFORE the playground!

This. I honestly can't remember how I spent my time before the Playground. And I haven't even been here that long.

I've dreamt of the Playground a few times. I got banned once. The other time was reading a thread of some sort I cant' remember. All I remember now was that Serp posted in it. :smallconfused:

Also dreaming of going to a meetup where everyone is their avatar. :smallconfused:

All this dream stuff is especially weird because I can hardly ever remember my dreams.

Not to mention that when I picture what's happening in my D&D games anymore, I default to OotS style instead of realistic style or something like that.

And lastly, and most potently, when you actually start to believe there is no mind control, citizen. Go back to your fun.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Apparently I am not here that often (contrary to what my parents thinks) since none of the stuff already posted here applies to me, and I am nearing my first year here:smallconfused:

[Krade]

The dreams of getting banned from the forums seems to wierdly popular... starts to make you wonder if there really is mi-There is no mind control, citizen. Go back to your fun. I will go back to my fun...

[Tasroth]

*snip*
Also dreaming of going to a meetup where everyone is their avatar. :smallconfused:
*snip*

The scary thing for me is I had a dream kinda like that a few weeks back.

I've been a member of the forums less than a month. At that point, I had been a member for less than a week.

So yeah, a handful of days after signing up and I'm dreaming of people who I'd barely communicated with, and not seeing all of them as human.

[Closak]

I think I need to know what I did to warrant being chased around with a laser chainsaw, tbh.

You do not want to know.
Trust me, you really don't.

[Ikialev]

I regularly have dreams of Roland banning me. :smallfrown: Which is actually really scary, because I have like three infractions already.

[doliest]

Glad I'm not the only one who's debated chatting with Playgrounder friends and going out with Meatspace friends.

[Teddy]

When you start thinking of yourself as "Lioness" in real life. Doesn't help that I use that name of about 3 other forums too though...

Happens to me pretty often. Especially when I'm about to refer to myself in third person.

I've also had dreams about the playground, but they were pretty short and uneventful. There was a new comic update in one of them which I tried (and failed to) read the title of, but there was none IRL.

[Dogmantra]

Glad I'm not the only one who's debated chatting with Playgrounder friends and going out with Meatspace friends.

It was my birthday.

[doliest]

It was my birthday.

Heh. :smallamused: An interesting position. Your final decision?

[Dogmantra]

Heh. :smallamused: An interesting position. Your final decision?

Meatspace. They had chocolate.

[lesser_minion]

Meatspace. They had chocolate.

Surely being here too much would mean going for playground in spite of the chocolate?

[Serpentine]

Alas, with that the internet cannot compete.

I had a dream like that once.
Cobra_Ikari accidentally ate Rabbit Hole Lost and Roland had to perform surgery to get Rabbit out of Cobra. (It was a successful surgery though, everyone was fine)
And Serpentine was chasing me around an electric blue refrigerator. It was terrifying. :smalleek:

...I really shouldn't have eaten and posted here so much that night..

[Mr. Mud]

You know you're here too often when you miss the quick-post option like a lost relative.

I think so. I can't remember but it feels familiar, somehow. I rarely remember my dreams for very long. I know I've dreamed about Coffee and Water-Smurf, but again no details beyond that.

Adding to the list of GitP dreams, I just had a dream about the forums getting reordered. There was an entire forum devoted to Pokemon Let's Plays. :smallconfused:

Oh wait.

I had a Serpentine dream once. Everyone was dueling Harry Potter style, and then me and Serp were dueling and then she won but my dreamself was like, 'no no no, this is my dream' (and yet, I still wasn't lucid) and then time was reversed and we dueled again and again but she kept winning. Then my dreamself had a hissy fit about not being able to win in his own dream and then we dueled again and this time I won. Because apparently my dreamself is as petulant as I am in real life. But then Serp and RHL pulled out lightsabers and were fighting and then I can't remember what happened next.

[Serpentine]

You've obviously blotted out the arse-kicking of your lifetime :smallamused:

[Cealocanth]

I finally had a Playground dream last night. Everyone's avatars were sitting in Trog's Tavern when BOOM! my avatar wlaks into the room. Everyone turns their heads and notices my avatar. Embarrased, he sits down at a table with Introbulus. They have some sort of conversation, when they both realize that they both have tails. For some reason, Introbulus declares that this calls for a celebration. The bartender (Roland) brings out a tray of internets, which happen to be cookies with an I on them in frosting. Everyone recieves internets.

...the end.

That dream didn't make the most sense out of some I've had. I was hoping it'd be an actiony thing.

[arguskos]

I've never had a Playground dream, that I remember. Maybe I have? I don't know. I feel left out now.

Also, I've only been here two or so years, but I've already achieved Titan, which tells me I post too damn much. :smallyuk:

[Cealocanth]

I've avhieved Barbarian and I've only been here about 8 months.

...:smalleek:

Oh wow has it been 8 months already...

I don't think I'm here often enough. In nearly two years I've:
-Only obtained Dwarf rank.
-Made no friends.
-Created no notable threads.
-Posted nothing of importance/interest.
-Never attended a meetup.
-Never played a game with/against another Playgrounder.
-Never met a Playgrounder.
-Never contributed to anything in any meaningful way.

Huh.

-Created no notable threads.
-Posted nothing of importance/interest.
-Never attended a meetup.

DESPITE having achieved Ogre. Don't worry about it buddy, the cool kids make up a much smaller percentage of GitP than you'd think...

-Only obtained Dwarf rank.
-Made no friends.I remember your name well enough that I know I should remember what your avatar used to be, does that count? It should, cuz I never remember anyone without their avatar.

[Skeppio]

I remember your name well enough that I know I should remember what your avatar used to be, does that count? It should, cuz I never remember anyone without their avatar.

You're probably thinking of someone else. I don't remember you and I interacting before. I'd definitely remember talking to you, Serp.

[Serpentine]

Was your avatar all jaggedy?

[Skeppio]

Was your avatar all jaggedy?

No, it was Registeel from Pokemon. He's rather spherical.

[Serpentine]

Hmm. I wonder who I'm thinking of, then...

Oh well. We've talked now :smalltongue:

[The Dark Fiddler]

Hey, on the bright side, if you haven't created any notable threads, at least you haven't made any infamous threads you'll never be able to live down! :smallsmile:

[Serpentine]

Are you sure you never had a spiky avatar? :smallconfused: Black and white?

[Capt Spanner]

I had a dream where Matt Smith (of Doctor Who) became the Prime Minister and I had to go on a school outing to a sewer located in a theme park and I asked if I could not go to the sewer because I wanted to go to the roof to hang out with Lix.

I'm fairly sure that actually happened with the old Dr. Who (David Tennant).

Look: here it is! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzlOBn029b8)

[Skeppio]

Are you sure you never had a spiky avatar? :smallconfused: Black and white?

Certain. I've had Registeel, a spherical gray robot, Regice, a cube-like icicle and the preset Chimera avatar.

[Serpentine]

Huh. Then who the bajeebus am I thinking of, then? :smallconfused: Anyone know? A spiky avatar, sort of like an explosion or an uneven start, with black and white panels, and possibly something in the middle - a circle or a face or something.
This is gonna bug me.

I think they'll see the funny side of it... Hopefully.

[Kallisti]

Waitwaitwait. The mind control ray can affect our dreams?! That--There is no mind control. DreamsITP are perfectly normal. I will go back to my fun.

[EmeraldRose]

It does seem like an extension of family. I've met so many people on here that I consider friends, both in person and not. Watched friends come and go. We've announced two babies on here.

I started reading the comic the year after I had our 7 year old, and eventually got up the nerve to join the forum, 2 years later...pretty much been around non-stop since then.

No dreams yet. Maybe someday...
