Enter the AD-FREE zone

No he doesn't ... I already posted to say that I've done 36 hours straight. Seriously ...

But not for a *very* long time now, and hopefully never again ...

Increase Your PM Length

Actually I said I only played for 18 hours straight (maybe a break for dinner), After having breakfast I would have passed out until dinner, then played multiplayer until atleast midnight (at which stage all but the most devoted/stupid game players go to sleep). So in one 36 hours period I played 24 hours of SMACX, but only 18 hours straigt

I'm afraid it is. But I could not do that on multiplayer - it's usually the single-player challenges that pull me in to the point where I can't put them down ...

I have to wait until the rest of the family are away to indulge in this ridiculous stuff of course. They'd kill me if they knew

Full PM-box? Change here!

Due to my crappy chair, my longest straight sitting is only about 6hours. However, I have probably logged several hundred hours in the past year since I acquired SMAC.

However, I must confess to a sever case of JOMTS (just one more turn syndrome).

Any prizes for the 'least addicted' here? Based on what I've heard I could get that one - the longest sitting in one go IIRC was about 4 hours....still, I have a lot of strategy games, and tend to juggle between a few of them - I managed to get Colonization recently, and am now hooked

Sorry for chiming in so late on this thread....didn't see it till I had a chance to browse some of the ones I'd been missing....LOL

When I was working to finish up the latest version of the strat guide (there's a good bit more to be said on the subject of our favorite game, and rumor has it that I might be convinced to expand it once more....a little birdie tol' me... ), I took two days off from work, combined it with the weekend, and sat here in this hardwood, straight-back chair for pretty much the entire time. Can't say for sure how many hours straight I played, cos I fell asleep at the keyboard at least twice, but that was my longest stint EVER....at any game...OUCH...and yes, I'd offer to buy Mis's chair in a heartbeat! Anything would be better than the one I got...

Okay, counting rest (assuming you spent 8 hours asleep at the keyboard each time?) you played for 80 hours. No, no, wait - you must be joking... poor Vel...

I think that record's going to stand for a looong time...

Vel, this is *not* in your best interest

I think I should donate my chair to Vel in the interest of dedicated SMAC/X gamers everywhere ... it's reasonably comfy, although it could do with considerably more padding, I have to say ...

I'll have a go at beating it once I'm back at Uni, prehaps during the mid year study week , altough I couldn't do it in SMAX (already played that to death). Last year I think I spent three days playing Diablo 2 once, only stopping for (some) meals, sleep and counterstrike, the really bad bit was it was 3-4 player multiplayer

Sorry for the typo. To tell the truth I just finished posting in the civ2 forums, your name looked like Ming, the evil moderator of good posters everywhere
