You Know You Are Addicted To Online Go When You

    Keywords: Humour

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?

Jenny Radcliffe: I think you're right. Go on, someone more experienced than me, change it! My latest sign of addiction is definitely go-in-general rather than online-go!.

rubilia: Do you really think that nowadays there still can be something like an addiction to offline go in the world? I think it's rather hard to become addicted by games with real-life people only. Maybe we should move the whole page to You Know You Are Addicted To Go When You? to cover those rare cases too, but I think the vast majority of obsessive go players can't resist to play online.

Alex Weldon: Take one peek into a Korean or Japanese go parlor (maybe two peeks, so you notice that it's still the same people there eight hours later) and you'll know that the above statement is untrue. :-)



bobulatorm: "apply Go principles to real life" - this isn't really that bad... is it? i find a lot of japanese philosophies/lifestyles have deeper reaching consequences - shouldn't go too? or do i really need help?


naruto3: I am one of those addicted to go and when my computer started failing to connect to KGS i was so depressed i stayed up 24-7 cause i sat in the corner of my room playing myself on a goban depressing


Celila: Everybody says I'm addicted to online Go or KGS in particular. And I think, they are right. For two weeks I've been trying to adjust my biological rhythm - I mainly stay awake all night and sleep some hours during the day. But I haven't managed to go to bed at an decent hour yet ... perhaps today ;)
