You know you play too much EU3 when...

[Monnikje]

- When you refuse to acknoledge the existence of the north and south pole, because they're not on the EU3 map.
- When you suspect the AI from cheating every time you see more than one church/mosque/temple in a city.
- When the manager of your local supermarket trade embargoes shoplifters.
- When you're four days late for work because the BBB had to be contained.
- When your house, except your computer and fridge, is PTI even to you.
- When you blockade that mouse hole in the kitchen.
- When the native mice rise against you!
- When you dream about this topic .

Im playing way too much eu3.. Every night i see dreams about it, and i wake up 2 hours early to school just to play eu3 for a while before i go there

 

[Riddermark]

...when you have EU3 running in a window and watching porn behind (just ask Ashantai)

 

[Monnikje]

- when you are looking for pr0n of your female rulers .

 

[unmerged(146885)]

When you associate sex with EU3.

you also have the music from [...] M2:TW on your MP3 player and listen to them almost daily.

I have them on my iPod. Great music.

More than once have I pondered this...

Churchill realised that, and tried to solve it by offering Eamon deValera Ulster if we joined in WWII. Unfortunately deValera had only played Medieval II's Britannia campaign and didn't realise you need all 5 provinces.

No longer can I read "EU" and think not of Europa Universalis , and it's been quite a while since this started to happen, so... :rofl:

I have that problem too.


Now one real one from me:

... when you tell your friends at school the latest updates for Milan and your Teuton AAR, and try to explain EUROO7's Hoch to them.

 

[OrangeYoshi]

...when you consider different phrases about the "Big Blue Blob" to put on a T-shirt and wear in public.

 

[Vesimir]

When you hear the history teacher saying something about some ruler, and the same second you make a mental note to play as that ruler when you get back home. I've already had a Napoleon winning his wars, Sigismund III Vasa adding Russia to PLC and Henry III of France staying in Poland instead of going back to France.

- When your spouse understands that time flows at a different rate while playing EU3. "I'll save in about 5 minutes, I only have a couple of things to do." The computer might be off in 20 to 60 minutes.

 

[PrawnStar]

When you see the Iranian President has decided to build 10 nuclear 'facilities' and think well Weapons Manus are a good investment but Persia doesn't have any Iron provinces so wouldn't Textile Manus make more sense given the Cloth and Wool provinces?

When you wonder just how long North Korea has been tech rushing Land

When you realise Latin tech nations made nuclear weapons nearly 70 years ago and the Iranians are still working on it and think has Paradox got the tech group weightings right?

-When you refer to flirting as "offensive operations" (Goes for any paradox game)
-When you start to draw a map of Europe out of boredom
-When you want to do just one more thing which results in +1 hour of game play, a process which repeats 4-5 times.

During history someone mentions a year or advisors name I know and Its like whoa flashback.

"Hey baby, ever had your territory occupied by a large, French force?"

You know she's been playing too much EU3 when she trade embargos you.

Doomstack incoming!

This.

Stage 2? A map of the world!

 

[Riddermark]

..when you look at a contemporary map of the world/europe and it just doesn't feel right.

 

[Will Lucky]

This.

Stage 2? A map of the world!

Yeah, I drew that on the back of my Notepad during Politics once. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of missing out Australasia and most of Asia. A4 Paper simply isn't good enough.

When during an International Law exam, you keep wondering about your EU3 empire's events and decisions instead of real-life ones. Happened to me yesterday, but luckily I sobered up in time and passed the exam

I second this one.
I was asked a question on how the international community should deal with pirates and all I could think of is "a navy is cheap to maintain, why not go over the force limits and hunt them down?"

When you meet a girl from a EUIII country and decide that to win her heart you will embark on a WC. Long live Bosnia. (Oh my, what will I do?:wacko

They should put one ship in every sea province, that should do it.

OMG!! Where have all the German OPM gone?!?

o , these two have happened to me... the first on a couple occasions... the second, well, it's commonplace with almost every single EU III game :rofl:

Now one real one from me:

LOL!! Brilliant one!!

I recall how well my ex coped with my EU III disease ... I would tell her of the exploits of the "Armee von Ungarn" which, with its meagre 10k force, managed to halt the muslim advance on Transylvania, and afterwards served as the spearhead for the invasion of Thrace.... or how I was dragged into a "War of Bavarian Succession" with none other than the BBB as tiny 4-province Brandenburg... AND Bavaria choosing France over me ...

Oh.... how do I miss having that special someone... now I can't bother the hell outta no one with my EU III stories!! :rofl:
