When five years after hating a book with passion, you read it - and actually enjoy it. Or them, for that matter. And one of the reasons you even considered reading them is to be able to understand an RPG character. This is partly your fault, Anguirel.

Mwahahaha! Gotcha Glad you enjoyed it though.

I'd say have the 'Downs as first port of call on a procrastination spree is a good sign of addiction.

Thumbs up I know this joke is getting REALLY old now...

You are defiantly addicted to the mirth part of these good forums when you can't help but laugh heartily at this part of The Lord of the Rings films:

Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to Werewolf

18 days from playing in a ww-game and 10 from modding one... And you alredy feel that something important is missing from your life and you enviously stalk other people's game and read thorugh who has signed in an upcoming game.

And it will maybe take nearly two months 'til I get to werewolf again... I don't even wan't to know what is my mental condition like then...

The Barrow-downs and Barrowdowners have influenced in decisions or directly caused me to try:

Terry Pratchett
Neil Gaiman
marmite
MySpace
Xanga
MSN, Yahoo, AIM

Thanks to the Barrowdowns, I'm never leaving the house again, which was my aim all along.

I can't even tell you how many books I've picked up because they were recommended in the "What other fantasy books do you read?" thread...

You think of World Cup teams in terms of their Downer supporters... i.e., England is Sauce, Germany is Esty, Brazil is Morm, etc.

When you set up elaborate e-mail contingency plans with other members to keep you informed about Downs happenings on the chance that you won't be able to access the forum for a while.

When deciding how Celuien's name is supposed to be pronounced is the intellectual feat of the day...

When you start thinking that "Nogrod" must mean something in Finnish...

At the risk of going off topic, I would venture Kel-oo-i-en. Though a more French Kel-wee-en could be on the table.
