You Know You Are Addicted To Online Go When You
    Keywords: Humour
  • sometimes dream of other online go players
  • waste a beautiful day to play go on KGS
  • ignore phone calls during a game
  • sleep at 8 pm and wake up at 4 am (when the European players are actively playing)
  • contemplate (even briefly) spending $800 on a plane ticket for a tournament overseas (to meet go players you met online, of course)
  • spend more time chatting than playing
  • log onto KGS first thing in the morning
  • consider many of the fellow online players "friends" and even invite them to your city
  • forget to eat meals - just being on KGS or Aurora satiates your hunger
  • are willing to learn new languages to facilitate communication on foreign servers
  • debate whether to attend the go meetings each week or just play on KGS
  • devote almost half a year's worth of weekends to play in the PGA IC
  • apply Go principles to real life
  • no longer read books, study, or watch TV
  • actually find the server a little lonely when your friends are not on
  • play simultaneous games on different servers
  • learned about Princess Diana, the Space Shuttle accident and the capture of Saddam Hussein in a go server chat

Taken from Halfling's profile

Rich: ... read point two and think "waste?"

Nacho: Maybe point two should read "Turn a day into a beautiful one by playing go all day long"


Alex Weldon: I know it's against the spirit of humour pages to nitpick, but some of these look more like "addicted to Go in general" rather than online Go specifically. For instance, the 800$ plane ticket. Perhaps this should be two pages?


  • start nit-picking on SL humour pages about online go.^^
  • when you find this page to be funny.
