Nationstates Destroyed My Life!

Postby United Anacreon » Wed May 27, 2009 8:05 pm

As you already know Nationstates is a drug that surpasses cocaine in it's
addictiveness.

How has nationstates affected you or your friends and family?

It made me late for work today. Well, actually, the fact that my bed was incredibly comfortable, and my room was very cold did that. But NSG provided my entertainment.

In all seriousness, I was asked to cut down a bit by my wife because she found that I was a more irritable after a long session at it.

I wasn't. I now remind myself, it's only a game and wanting to go postal at people on the screen isn't healthy.

Nationstates - or rather, NSG - has had rather a large positive effect on my life overall. :)

For the good, it's given me a couple of lifelong friends whom I've stayed in contact with whether I've been on NationStates or not. It's helped me enhance my storytelling and writing abilities.

For the not so good, it's also given me people I want nothing to do with and was the source of many dollars spent on books and much anger and frustration.
