When the Malk dialoge makes more sense then any other.

When all you dream about is vampires

When you end a fight by sucking all the blood out of your enemy

You file your incisor teeth into points to make fangs ;)

You wonder why people start to scream when you pull out a fire axe and take some practice swings in public.

Sure signs you have been playing too much.

When you start seeing text below the persons face while talking to them.
When you start wondering how freaking big is the suitcase your character has to lug around all that stuff is. Last but not least when you start noiticing much more of the world around you like a Malk. Just to let you guys know I am playing as a Tor.
Remember never break the Masquerade at any cost. Uphold the secret and conceal the scent.

You continually go to bed just before sunrise -- because you've been up all night playing the game -- and the lack of daylight seems quite normal.

You watch the tv news nervously, in case it talks directly to you.

You look at closed doors with curiosity and wonder if your lockpicking skills are up to it.

You actually watch "Underworld" to try to continue the mood. (god, what an awful movie)

You name yourself "schlacta" in an online forum.

you go to the graveyard and wonder if your celerity is fast enough to guard the two gates there (just so happens the graveyard not to far from my house had 2 gates ^^")

lol yeah had. The other one on the other side was destroyed by a car crash so they just removed it and closed the wall surrounding it. But you never know what might have caused the car crash :D

Car crash? Sounds like a cover for the masquerade to me!! No doubt zombies were pouring through the gate, so some clever Ventrue dominated a mortal to drive over them in his car... They clean the mortals memory, leave him crashed in his car, make sure the police don't pay to much notice, remove the bodies.. hey presto! Masquerade clear in under a night. CUNNING!!


Ahem.. Or it.. er.. Might have been a drunk driver I spose...

*You know you play to much when you can pick apart a simple and logical story to see how it was all a cover for the Masquerade*

not that I play much or anything...

When you see a health insurance plan covers transplants and tell the story of how you had to take the eyes from some dead guy.

You finally know how to say Kuei-Jin and Hengeyokai.

You can't believe how naive your characater is. Hello? Everyone knows about the Thin Bloods and the different Sects. Get with it, neonate!

When NPCs are being uncooperative you mutter to them, "You wouldn't do that if I was a Ventrue. You just better be glad I don't get any red text options for you. Oh, I'd make you cluck."

You change your characters clan and gender often and justify it because they're Malkavian.

You have the game music playing instead of your other mp3s and if you're not looking at the computer you think it's showing whatever scene is associated with the music.

You manage to have a problem that you can't find any reference to any where else (more on that later and elsewhere).

You think fondly of the blood splatters around town.

And true!

I left out spending more time trying to talk to inanimate objects than completing quests. I want a rematch with the stop sign.

That'd be a good expansion pack. Kindred vs. Stop Sign: Vengence.

I'm just mad because the stop sign made more sense and was less whiny and self-important than any other NPC. Pretty much everyone else I want to go beat on. I'd like to give the stop sign a hug. I think it needs one. People don't understand how difficult it is to always be the strict one. Stop signs need love, too.

Um. Maybe I better play a Ventrue for a while. I'm becoming a sign I play too much.

Ponderance.

You know you have been playing the game too much when your just wondering what your desktop looks like and all of a sudden it appears just like magic..LOL..By the way White Wolf freaking rocks. It turned out that I bought some tee shirts around near a decade ago and since playing this game looked at them with a diserning eye and just saw White Wolf ®© on the bottom left hand side and thought Sweet..I am wearing the one that says Toreador with a funky lady with a ciggy in her hands in a prayer like pose. Sorry about the above rambelings as you can tell guys I am a little board. Love you all.. :-) >

you know you've played to much, when your girl friend asks how your day was, and you reply

"Christ it sucked. I had to high tail it all around Santa Monica trying to help some whiny ***** of a Thin Blood find her happy toy. Had to put with a damned psycho woman that doesn't know which end of her mind is speaking, and she sends me to some abandoned beach house hotel. I get freaked out by the damned ghosts, slog my way back through sewers, and return to said psycho woman, only to jacked around by her other personality, and then get one of the personalities to kill the other, and then finally have a meeting with the Prince of the City, and listen to that ***** whine. Finally, I meet some cool cats at the Last Round, have a few bites to drink, and headed back to Santa Monica, where my damned ghoul had rearranged the furniture after watching the Osbornes.

So how was your day honey"

*thud*

"Honey?"

"Hmph. Damned toreador."

Or summat like that :)

played too much when

you start to look at women's necks and expect the world to go monochrome when you kiss somebody.


...and you crack up with laughter at these posts exposing you to ridcule and questioning in the office, yet nobody accepts "I'm Malkavian" as an excuse.


[that's twice I have utterly cracked up into fits of giggles whilst trying to look as if I was working as hard as usual]

I was in Chinatown yesterday, saw a sign for Red Dragon and although nobody told me I wanted the internet, I'm pretty sure saw Zhou's warehouse too - but without a Killmatic, I decided to walk on by.

Yesterday my husband was taking the garbage out and I called him "Trash Lord" and he looked at me funny and said "Maybe you should reroll as a Ventrue or something, you've been playing that Malk way too much."
