Stimpy sez Cya!

by Jeff Axline · in ThinkTanks · 11/14/2003 (12:08 am) · 9 replies

I have officially turned in the keys to my tank. I have deleted Think Tanks from my drive. Earlier I had decided that I was spending too much time with the game and would stop, but I kept crawling back. I need to go cold turkey. Thank you Garage Games for the fun I had these last 6 months, and thanks for all the good, bad and ugly times from all you scrummers!

Have fun.

Stimpy

Sorry to see it come to this Stimp, but I know where you're coming from. It's one thing to tell yourself that you're gonna cut back on TT playtime but quite another to be able to follow through...

Thanks for the good times,

I have been there but never gone quite so far. We are proud of you...but sad, lets just hope you don't start a trend!

Ouch that sounds a bit drastic. It has always been fun, and I look forward to the day this decision gets reversed :)

(ToT) NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I've cut back with no problem! I only play on weekends and only in a scheduled event! I might take 15 - 20 minutes every other day to play a round. But Nowhere near as bad as I was two weeks ago. Ask Az...

Last week, I put in maybe 2 hours total. Not including Forum time, but that's different! So far this week, it's up to about an hour and a half, and most of it was Wednesday night!

I understand what you're saying about cold turkey, that's how I quit smoking 3 years ago... All or none. If that's the way you want to look at TT's, I'll respect your decision, but I'm not going to like it, because you're one of the good ones, and it sucks to see you go.

Well, I didn't know you long but I hate to see you go all the same. Can't we just get rid of some of the jerks instead. I hate to see the nice ones disappear.

I hope to see you back if possible. It has been fun.

Bye stimpy and good luck, Daimbranage

Yo Stimpy, all of last summer I was deleting the game from my HD, then in a fit of invincible relapse would DL the game again from Garage Games and then after a night of play, would delete it again.
Been struggling with different compulsive addictions in my life. Including (as of lately) reading the paper! Man I can spend 1-2 hours reading newspapers in a day - a real junkie. Anyway...

Always a challenge to measure one's will power, and to see one fails at respecting his own promises!

Good luck with your detox. However I bet 3 Scrum Points that we will see you sooner than later.
