How addicted are you?

Just a little poll to see how addicted people are to this game ....

Cole · 11-30-2002, 10:23 AM

Well, it appears out of 25 votes that 10 people are decently addicted (1-2 hours a day), 10 people are quite addicted (2-3 hours a day) and one person .. probably didn't sleep last night because they were too busy playing OOTP

Nowhere near as much as I'd like due to other commitments in the real world, other computer stuff needing attendance...

*sigh* I would LOVE to just spend all day simming stuff. Hell, if my old computer could handle 1024x768 I WOULD.

It's a trick question. I'm not so much addicted to OOTP as to Cato's history, lately. I spent a conservative 12 hours this weekend working out a way to convert what info I had about 3 seasons I didn't do backups on into CSVs.

I do have HTML files for the 3 missing seasons and it is possible, via cut-and-pasting to notepad, then converting it slowly to Excel, then feeding it into the CSV format, to make almost complete records. It takes me a little less than a half hour per team to do offense and pitching, now. I still haven't done defense. When I get done with 1885, I get to move onto 1886. Thank goodness I only have 8 teams. Now if only I knew what "RS" was in the CSV reports.

So I didn't play any OOTP this past weekend, but it was an OOTP weekend nonetheless.

I'm not addicted! I can walk away any time! Yep, no problem at all.

I will have no problems walking away from OOTP4....... As soon as OOTP 5 comes out.
