ET demands a lot more anger control.

Lack of sleep and food. Possibly already suffering from a mild form of epilepsy.


It has sparked worries that players can get addicted and experts warn that some of them end up withdrawing from the real world

Am I the only one who finds CF way more addictive than ET (or any other game)? I don't play ET often at all, but I can't stop myself from refreshing CF every now and then eventhough 90% of the time its boring and not entertaining.

Obviously this happens when you don't take good care of yourself. Nothing to do with the game itself, but if you dont drink and eat enough you're bound to collapse after a while.

pala 18 Nov 2008, 16:14
people can live a day without eating / drinking
what really collapsed him was the blood movement, he did not move for 24hrs, results in A LOT of symptoms
its fun that you are not an admin anymore, you wont ban people who prove u wrong

You can do a lot longer than 24h w/o eating.

JobCohen 18 Nov 2008, 16:31
I don't think I've banned someone for just that reason. So you're saying people who lay on the bed because they're ill or old all collapse? You're right it's bad for you, but more than one factor is involved here.

QuoteObviously this happens when you don't take good care of yourself.


I would not moving for 24 hours not taking good care of himself. Also I didn't say he collapsed because he didn't drink/eat for a while I'm saying if you do that for a while you're bound to collapse.

Thanks for trying though.

JobCohen 19 Nov 2008, 12:04
And you didnt drink for 2 days, and they didnt give you fluids? Unless you had renal failure or such I can't think of any other explanation as to why they wouldn't give you fluids. I find this very hard to believe.

pala 18 Nov 2008, 16:16
its because:
1) fat gamers eats A LOT next to computer, everytime, without exercise
2)gens, there are peoples who eats a lot and dont get fat, thats because the fat's is gathered in the blood, instead of going into places in the body, which results in troubles later on
3)thin players dont like to eat..

Guild Wars back in 05/06 for ~50 hours and slept for ~12 hours after that, was dizzy for the next day and kept seeing shit. Never again.

In the days that I was really addicted to ET, I pulled 40 hours out in 2 days (weekend), then saw black spots everywhere and fell asleep on the couch. Slept for 10 hours and had a major headache. Never again.

You can be addicted but you also should not be stupid,which is the case here.
