So, I'll start off, just follow the pattern...

You know you're addicted to subsim when before you jump in the pool, you think to yourself "Rigged for Dive!"

You know you're addicted to subsim when your wife is nagging and you wish your house had a "silent running" feature

My niece was dating a retired submariner. He was on the Miami. As soon as I head that I demanded her to marry him. That's how addicted I am.

It looks like many are confusing "addicted to Subsim" with "addicted to Silent Hunter".

You know you're addicted to Subsim when you find yourself spending so much time on the forums that you never play the game anymore.

You know you're addicted to Subsim when you find yourself still posting at 2:00 in the A.M.

I'm not kidding, I once said to myself that if I ever have $2,000,000 I'll buy the Requin (or another Gato/Balao/Tench) and have it restored to 1945 condition (before Fleet Snorkel upgrade) and get it seaworthy, then hire a crew of subsimmers to man the stations. I know how to navigate with map and compass. I'll use the PT Boat pleasure cruisers as loopholes for moving a decommissioned naval vessel under its own power, which is currently illegal.

Party at 300ft below!

Woo! 444 posts!

When you're taking a soak in the tub and something on the ceiling catches your eye and you shout "Aircraft spotted! Aircraft spotted bearing 304 at short range!"

Actually did that.

When you wake up the entire house by screaming "EMERGENCY DIVE! GIVE ME 25 DEGREES DOWN ON THE BOW & STERN PLANES! SET DEPTH OF 3 5 0 AT 1KT! RIG FOR SILENT RUNNING!"

Actually did that.

When you've added "subsimmer" and "subsim" to your Chrome dictionary

Did that, too

i got hooked on the general idea of submarines when i was 4. almost everyday i kept re-watching the titanic. Just to see it sink :DL. I loved seeing it go under, and snap in half. not the people. just the ship. thats all i watched it for. so really i was getting a daily dose of the art of sinking commercial vessels. My fate happened to lead me here. Now i spend chunks of my day, sitting down and glaring through a periscope at a juicy, ripe tanker, lining at my shot, and giving it the 2-KO punch, all to have me rage as they cleanly miss, and i surface and unload my deck gun.

ahhhh. Good times.

im actually a little skeptical of traveling on a cruise. Im always afraid of staring off the port bow and seeing a party ferret with a wicked grin on his face :dead:

I hate big cruise ships in general. They freak me out.

Sinking them, on the other hand, is something I can do.

IMO a ship that big should be either transporting large cargo, oil, or something else inanimate. Or be armed to the teeth with planes, guns, ASW, helicopters, ect.

If I wanted to go to water parks and visit Pacific islands, I'd drive 30 minutes to Holiday World, spend a day, then hop on a plane. It'd be cheaper, too, and not so many annoying kids.

I'd much rather be 100 some feet below the surface where all the surface threats and harsh weather conditions don't affect me.

What was the cruise ship that was dead in the water/powerless not that long ago? All because of a diesel engine oil casualty? Yeah, those things are well made.

Between engine failures, fires, and disease spread aboard those things, I'd much rather sink 'em via a subsim that ride on in the real world.

I went swimming today in the lake and I see two boats full of Japaneese tourists and I slipped bellow the surface only my eyes were above the water (along with my ever barer forehead), did calculations, lost my composire and yelled TORPEDO LOS !!!! so half the people in the lake including all the boat passengers looked what was my problem. So much for silent running

You know you're addicted to SUBSIM when...

- you start using the board's smiley codes on IRC. (e.g. :salute:)

- you start building an emoticon pack for Pidgin (IM client) using smileys from here.

- Subsim is the only page that is consistently open in your browser
