Poll: How much do you sleep on an SH3 night?

Schöneboom · 07-05-07, 10:48 AM

Is anyone else here feeling a little sleep-deprived? I'm coming to work looking more like Thomsen every day! Must... get... caffeine...

(If you've ever made any poor tactical decisions due to lack of sleep, this is a good place to tell us. I'll share a story later.)

Sometimes I go to work with a zombie face.... after sleeping 3 or 4 hours the night before. Why? simple.... I had a patrol to do :rotfl: :rotfl:

Dangers of Sleep Deprivation: Last night I couldn't even follow my own advice ("Don't stick around for the fireworks!") -- after finally locating a convoy in pitch darkness, I torpedo the first ship I see at close range. The first eel's a dud, but the second one hits -- I know 'cause I stayed there to make sure! Then DUH, all the searchlights come on!

A Star Is Born! :rotfl:

Well, it was 4th of July...

I've got a slight advantage over most, I work from home. I've decided to start a new career and play it an 1x TC so that I can leave the machine on through the day while I get on with things and give myself a break now and then to check on crew fatigue etc. This way I can have SH3 GWX available and running for almost 24/7 interrupted only when I need to Photoshop!

A good kaleun shouldn't sleep at all.

You always have to keep an eye on your crew.
Well, I don't trust my 1WO, he's too sloppy. Once I observed him snoozing while on duty.
Next day he had to clean the toilet ... right after we had Bohneneintopf for lunch.

I have to get rid of him somehow ... :hmm:

A good kaleun has to be up and fully awake when something important happens.Til then he has to rest to be most fit when it matters the most. And he needs someone relyable who can wake him up in time

I know that and I would say it's a huge advantage! I used to work in the morning, had to get up at 7:00 GMT so couldn't stay awake all night but now I start my work afternoon, depends but I have plenty of time to sleep in the morning, love to hunt for convoys at night at 1x TC. In general i go to 128-256TC as traveling over 5000km ducking against airplanes all the time. So it's very time consuming but worth it. With longer repair times lots of crew management is needed etc. PM me, you want know what to do when plyaing 1xTC and repairing a radio takes half a day... this is insane. One patrol is at least a whole real day.

Right now am about to start playing and dont plan on sleeping, which is good since ill have to be at work at 6am which is in 6 hours. And on an average night when i start playing SH3 ill play till going to work.

I think I should return to my patrol sooner after work -- often I don't get started until 8 or 9 PM. Or maybe I ought to take a siesta -- then I could survive less sleep at night!

For somebody from the "outside world" we must look like bunch of sick people, too late for any kind of treatment :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

BTW I've got a very stressful job and SH3 is the best way to relax during it... wired.

Kpt. Lehmann · 07-05-07, 04:59 PM

LOL. I remember when I used to sleep.

Truth be told. SH3 was an escape from my own job stress. I just needed to "be somewhere else" when I came home.

I'm afraid to tell you that especially those gamers who write into some forum about their favourite game all day long are the worst kind of all

At least this board includes many people you can actually TALK WITH and not only some annoying babies like in some other game's communities
