Keep this going with your own signs that make you Sindomian
You sing the 'Sindomian Song' (to the tune of God Bless the USA).
You can type: sneak n e n n n n w w w w w w n n n e u u u u n e e e e u u s w w w w w w �s s s s s s s s w s
...and get where you wanted to go. (That should take you from XXXX to the XXXX... lol)
And my personal favorite, you type OOC in instant messenger to correct typos. ;-)
You schedule your RPing sessions around getting the most UE.
You wait in an empty bar and spend money on drinks even when noone's around.
You're late to school/work because you were up till 2 in the morning the night before because you logged in at 10 for 'just one minuite' to check the boards and got caught up in some RP.
You go to check to make sure your wearing your holster and piece, and realize that this is the real world and you don't carry a gun.
-Kevlar
You start looking over your shoulder for Moss in public places
You get the names of your real life and SD significant other mixed up
You ask a clerk at the mall how many chyen something is
I'd think of more but I'm still laughing because most of the ones posted are so so true.
... somebody comes down the stairs at 3am for a drink, and sees you on the computer, playing sindome. (Then mutters something about you being obsessive and needing to see a shrink)
... your IRL friends hear more about what happened to your SD char then what's happened to you in the last week.
... you've actually begun a sentence by saying 'say.'
I'll think of more...
..when you imagin you're at the Carnal Desires, when you're really at some dance club in down town.
..when you go to a bar and order a Vanilla Silk.
..when you kick the coffee machine at work expecting it to sputter and spurt out steam.
..when you bitch in your mind about the bus taking too long, expecting someone to respond.
..when you always wear the same set of clothes because changing them is too much effort.
..when you catch yourself being less careful because you think you have a clone.
..when you find yourself being able to sit longer without having to get up for food, drink, etc…
..when you ride from Texas to Minisoda for a lan party, and play SD there all day on their internet connection.
..when your kids/little cousins/nephew's/etc mess up and you yell at them "Timmy!! You're not Timmy! you're Zachary!"
... you actually know that your ISP boots you at every 6 hour mark you're online... And it happens 3 times a day.
... wonder what the world would look like in ANSI.
... start submitting @ideas to God.
... laugh when you character laughs, cry when your character cries, and can't resist chuckling every time you type 'chuckle.'
... start looking up Tony's pizzaria in the phone book when you're hungry.
Still more comin'...
… When -everyone- you talk to plays SD...
.. When your girlfriend joins the game just to talk to you.
... When you actually suffer SD withdrawls..
...When talking about something else, you hear a word and it immediately transfers the conversation to a Sindome conversation.. (i.e. Seren: "Whoa, look at that cop car."
Carrie/Des to Marco/Lucien: We should get cars. Patrolling red on foot's a pain in the ass.")
..When the above mentioned conversation doesn't stop, and you look up and realize that everyone's left, and you've been comparing P7's to Autopistols, and so on for three and a half hours.
... when wandering around downtown, sewer covers start to look a little TOO tempting.
... as do rooftops.
... you are more friendly to grubby looking people on the streets and have to stop youself from lending then money for a clone.
... you expect to see corpses littering the streets as soon as you step out your front door.
..You wake up from a bad dream at 4am and wonder why the SIC is so quiet.
..You say 'misfire' when you misspeak
..You start bringing your lunch to work or skipping it altogether, just so you can play.
..You call your own cell phone a Progia
…when you read justins post and realize that by typing @who and actually show's you who's connect to your box.
...when you start a sentance off with ooc hey wanna go to dave and busters?
I've never actually called my RL girlfriend by my SD girlfriend's name....
Wait! There's actually a good reason for that. I don't have either! duh!
but I have asked the guy at the gas station how much chyen a pack of camels were...I felt dumb.
/me goes and does just that
... when you light a.....nevermind.
... when you wake up in the morning, expecting a pint of beer, from the party at the Drome, in your hand.
That's it for now.
...You start worrying about the last time you updated your clone when you're going out for the night
...you start realising you shouldn't worry because you can't remember the last time you went out for the night
...you randomly poke people in the ribs
...sleep is what other people do.
All I have to say; to everyone on here that is no longer a part of the community. Peace out, we miss ya, and you are always welcome. To everyone else, glad to have you on board, hope you are enjoying the ride...
I -AM- Sindomian!
You know you're Sindomian when…
You start thinking of money in terms of 'c'…
You take a writing class in school so you can write about Sindome AND get a grade for it...

When walking to your car you unlock it with the beepy thing, open the door, and imeditly hit the lock button on it, so no one can get in.
When your nervous getting out of your car because you don't know who is waiting in the shadows.
When you tell someone to 'Walk Safe' in real life.
You -almost- tell your boss that you can't do something at the moment because you need to finish commenting on a submitted history and have three more to read after that.
You dream nothing but images of seventeen different packing crates 'cause you need to make a bunch and don't want any of them to look the same.
You get caught looking at a cute bartender 'cause you need to describe one and think she would be -perfect-.
You wonder how to make this the hands down, bar none, best Moo.

when your girlfriend hates the game…...
and says come hang out with me for a minute before you go to bed, you know your just gonna sneak off and play it after I go to sleep...
you use doing homework on the computer as an excuse to log on...
you really do do homework on the computer while you play and it doesn't get done until after the RP does (I did this one during the meeting).....
you can't sleep because you know your fixer is coming through with a cool item tomorrow.....
you can't sleep because you can't stop thinking about some cool shit that just happened 'down on red'......

I know it's pathetic.
...when you drill holes and rewire your grandmothers house so your guests from out of town who will be there a week and won't return for probablly at least a year can get on Sindome without leaving your presence.
...when you throw a party, and the entire invite list on E-Vite consists of people who have @sindome.org email addresses.
...when you go on vacation for a week, and come back with a long list of things your going to do to Sindome.
...when every joke you make only makes sense to thoes who play Sindome.

I'm looking forward to going out there again, Iga made every effort to ensure that we had the very best stay in calgary we could have. An entire week devoted to his 'internet friends', making sure we where comfortable, fed, and entertained. Bravo Iga, and I for one (but I am quite sure I speak for the entire group) sincerely thank you, MOObash Calgary was a trip to remember and one I sorely needed.
As for the next trip, the first week or so of July is stampede…10 days of drinking and debauchery, Yes that sounds right up my alley :) But seeing as I burned my week of vacation for the year already, It'll take some doing in order to get the owners to let me go for a week in July, (for some reason it's pretty busy around then, guess no-one pays thier mortages in the summer) But 'if there's a will there's a way' is a good turn of phrase, and I'm 65% sure that I'll be able to convince them.
I'd like to meet more of you from this beloved institution (as in insane asylum hehe) So let's plan ahead, I have no qualms in getting hotel accomodations the next time around and if there's anyone out there that wouldn't mind doubling up with a chicagoian (yes we are a scary bunch to be sure, specially with our hats with the jaunty tilts) I'd be fine with it. *disclaimer* I do sleep in the nude and am a nocturnal spooner. So be warned. (haha)
yea so MooBash '05. All you lazy SOB's need to come on out and meet us, we're a fun bunch. And Johnny needs to defend his DDR Champion Title. So start planning to get away for a week if only to see Johnny marching in time to Dance Music and whipping our sorry tails in the process.
....when you dig up your old high-school chemistry notebooks for the same reason.
...when you tell that you're doing chemical formulas for drugs in SD to your girlfriend all exited and she looks at you with that funny face.
all on the same day.... ;)
And hope it awnsers…
That makes me depressed.

...when you go to the trouble of configuring your Linux desktop to mimic a Matrix-connected computer's appearance (or at least your own presumed idea of said computer's appearance.)
... when your current g/f coyly states, "Oh, I remember when you played that game!" in reference to the number of times you spoke about it in the context of past day-to-day living way back when…
...when you won't connect to SD because the last RP session you ever performed kept you awake until an hour before you had to start shift, and you were three, count them THREE hours late to work because you nodded off in front of the computer. (BTW, thanks to those of you involved in "The Cremation of Murphy." You know who you are ;) )
... when, after months, possibly years of taking care of IRL problems to the point that you can't/won't log onto the Dome, you sit for two hours nostalgically reading a "You know you're a Sindomian" post... then spend another hour coming up with your own list of Sindomianisms.

My alarm went off at 7am so I could get out of bed and log on to Sindome so I could watch SNFF.
*sigh*
(...and this is after going to bed at 00:30 after *talking* about SNFF with various players. Bah.)
I believe the next one/s will be on later in the day (?), but... there's something strangely appealing about being awake while it's still vaguely dark (it's winter down here), listening to industrial techno and watching lines of text describing people beating the shit out of each other.

I shit you people not, completely random occurance.
Christ, the thing is DESCED like a luxury sedan. I don't know why anyone is suprised that it is modest in appearance. But look at a Bently or a Lexus. They are down right dull. But they have all these little things added to them that make them 'better' than a normal sedan. Like air conditioned glove boxes (though VW has those now) and defrosting side mirrors (though VW has those now) and finely tuned racing suspensions (though VW has those now).
It isn't that the Holden is a sports car, it is a mid range luxury sedan.
If you want a sports car you get a Hayasa.
It is desced like a luxury sedan but I have to admit its kind of weird.
I think the stretch limos are outdated... regardless of the brand of the thing, it would be cool if there was say the equivalent of the Mercedes s-class or BMW 7 series.
Luxury sedan/sports car's like the BMW 7 series coupes are fuckin sick machines...
and Audi is better than VW.
Think of the actual expense of -PARKING- something that big in a space cramped city like Withmore! Let alone the ethicol bill!
Ideally we'd have areodynes that people would have rather than road cars, but limitations of code and all that jazz.
And you are VERY correct in taking me to task for even -THINKING- of putting a Bently in the same class as a Lexus. Bently is like… butter. real butter. made from cows that are raised under giant agridomes that let them graze on live grass, and then they are hand milked and that milk is hand churned into butter.
That's a Bently in 2090.
A Holden is just a cheap sedan with fake leather seats in comparison.
And now to get back on topic:
No, I didn't get those plates made. The Sindome Superconciousness made it happen. Maybe Chaos is right... maybe reality isn't real. Maybe the world of text based Sindome is the real reality... And if I'm a clone, and you're a clone, then who am I and who are you?! ARUURURURRAAAAH!
and Audi is better than VW.
Uhhh… Audi is VW. or whichever way you prefer. and they both suck except the TT...... MMMMM TT. :)
And Nem... please, for all that is holy, tell me that your joking about your excort.
:wretches at even the idea of that car.
I'd post action pics of me racing my subaru, cept I don't really have a site(or the desire to make one) to post them on.
Edit: Wait.... the frapper Sindome map thingy... there's my Suby!!!
