Limiting factors

[siber]

Hi guys. I was interested what the biggest factor limiting your time playing SH3 was. Please vote anonymously even if you don't comment. Thanks! p.s. Apologies - I wrote the poll from my own (male) perspective, so if you're female, substitute wife for husband, girlfriend for boyfriend etc. Can't go back to edit it now...

[nikbear]

Its the missus,which is only right;)and work,those people won't be buried by themselves,I'm a gravedigger:yep:

Limiting factors are Work and work-related activities (travelling etc) coupled with social activities. Usually I play GWX about 0.5-1 hour on week days and about 3-5 hours on week ends.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Too busy working to finish GWX.

Pretty much for the last two years... once a test objective is reached... end patrol... move on to the next issue... over and over ad-nauseum.:cry:

...and then there is my real job... and I've returned to school at night to increase my certification level to "Paramedic."

Its okay though. Playtime is coming eventually. Then I'll be like a kid splashing away in the bathtub.:lol:

Too much work.......



..........and a lack of GWX 1.04:p

[JScones]

Prior to July sometime it was working on GWX 1.0 through 1.04 that took my attention. Testing, not playing. ;)

Since July it's been a combination of my wife/children, unexpected injury, and my love for music that has stopped me from even *loading* SH3 or pretty much *any* game. I'm even visiting Subsim less!

From November on, when I finish my three month's leave, it's a new job (I'll proudly say I was "head hunted" :smug:) that will pretty much see an end to any spare time I have! To be cryptic, from then on it's "real" wargames that I'll be involved in. ;)

Public exams kill me.

FUll time job and half of the household takes away lots of time.
Can't believe we live in 2007 and still have to go to work everyday... :nope:

I know the feeling mate. I'm spending at least 8-10 hours a day (including most weekends) in the office and with all the student supervision, teaching and administration I have less time for research and other related issues (experiments, data analysis, writing the programs to do all the calculations, writing papers and grand proposals etc). If you add all the conferences and workshops I have to attend as well I'm surprised I still have some sort of personal life. Oh well one day I will retire and I (hope) will enjoy life ;) :shifty:

RL (work and family) come first :yep: ....Oh! and GWX of course :arrgh!:

[Venatore]

Making mods. :doh: :dead: :88) :zzz:

[Mush Martin]

There isnt enough playtime in three lifetimes so I would venture
that being mortal limits my playtime moreso than anything else
as Im missing two thirds of the game by this measure.
M:hmm:

sitting on my lazy ass being bored all day long (if im not asleep) and play game's :smug:

[Jimbuna]

Well if your that bored, why not do something with your sig size so it conforms to the parameters everyone else is expected to adhere to :arrgh!:

??? whats that supposed to mean ? :huh:

[jwatch]

As much as I enjoy hunting tankers in the North Atlantic, there's just not enough time to do everything. Alvarez guitars, Lindbergh flight covers, Grand Prix Legends, photography, art galleries... If I can make it, I'll retire in 7 years and the patrols will get longer.

[Redbear]

It's work for me. Too bad real life has to take so much time!

[hale4ua]

The only thing that really limits me to playing a lot of SH3 is the long loading times for GWX and the game crashing at least once everytime I play before I can actually start my patrol. But I still find plenty of time to send some Battleships to the floor :D! Being an author has at least the advantage of having plenty of time to relax.

me too :yep:

[U49]

To get more time for sh3, I would need to
* get my family addicted to waterbombs, empty oceans and plain bad weather
* have a SH3/GWX rigged computer for all of them
* have to prearrange war patrols and common harbour time, which will be, when we meet in a bar and boast about our successes

... hm, I would not say that it can not be done, but actually it seems very unlikely to happen :hmm:

[Capt. Shark Bait]

work, which i have to leave for in about an hour fron the time of this reply:damn: :x

[dcb]

Wife, kid, work... I must confess I also sleep sometimes, though I'd gladly replace bedtime with SH3 patrols, if I could:rotfl:

[baggygreen]

Partner (and her LARGE italian family) take up a lot of time, work takes up around 10 hours a day including travel and so on. Running, and more recently out of necessity also more physical training also cuts into my playing time, as does my other 2 loves at the moment - Flight Sim X and ETQW
