Ok, so I have been so wrapped up in simming I quit sleeping. No lie.. worked 10 hours a day, went to school full time.. and simmed or played in chat rooms the rest. I finally had to cut back from 10 sims to 4. This of course, was years ago.

 

But, I did meet my spouse through simming, and made a major life change (including a cross country move) to make that happen. And I know several other people who met their mates through simming.

 

But!! It ain't my life. And I certainly don't think people should start simming in the hopes of meeting a mate. Nor let it become their life. I let my life revolve around my nights in sim rooms and related chat rooms, and it became too much. I had to take many breaks, and every time I came back it was to be involved less and less, at a level I, and my family, can handle.

 

I have made many great friends simming, but I have friends away from here that I spend more time with.

 

Ok,so I am rambling and don't make sense... I'll shut up now. :)

meeting their mate is this directed to the people in the klingon sim?

but when I direct something in a sim that trips over that iron barrier and I get players so angry at me, that all they can do is rant and rave in e-mails... I must remind them, "it's a game, y'know?"[/size]

Oh.  I thought that WAS the reason to play on your sims, A9...  :)

LOL, Moose!

 

"Hi, my name is Huff, and even though I'm typing to a Star Trek message board in the middle of the afternoon, and stayed up til 1 last night playing imaginary people in Star Trek simulation games... I'm not really hooked.  I can quit any time.  Yes, I've been doing this for seven years, but in moderation.  Really."

Kahless help them if they are looking for mates on the Klingon sim.

Just the fact that everyone is calling it "finding a mate" scares me :)

Mate, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other.....
