You only invest in gold.

You have a dozen blue Roombas and you often run about your house trying to dodge them.

You accidentally slip in a Metanet community member's name into a test at school when you're intending to write something else.

(It happened to me once. *Shudder* I'll provide the details if you want...)

Ha, that's happened to me before...I signed "squibbles" on a test. Thankfully I noticed it and put my actual name there!

And yes, I would love to see it.

It's not as impressive as you think, though...

OK, I'm typing this from memory, so I might make some mistakes.

It was this Latin literature test (I was studying Aeneid book 6) and one of the questions referred to this bit from the text (don't bother if you don't do Latin):
Aeneas miratus enim motusque tumultu
"dic" ait "o virgo, quid vult concursus ad amnem?
quidve petunt animae? vel quo discrimine ripas
hae linquunt, illae remis vada livida verrunt?"
Question: What is it that Aeneas is asking about?

The question requires translation of "quid vult..." to "...verrunt". Now in the test I mistakenly wrote a "d" instead of a double "l" which resulted in me writing darkshadow's name as part of the translation. Why did I make that slip? Well, when I learn stuff like this I tend to recite the translation to myself to get the general feel of it. And sometimes the N-related segment of my brain jumps to a conclusion too fast and ends up making associations with the wrong thing. That is what happened here.

I never got the test back. Seeing as I've done the GCSE I suppose that this piece of paper with the infamous spelling slip has now gone through the recycling process and out the other end as loo roll or something.

Positive sign you're addicted to N:
When N doesn't work on your computer, you go to the N previews on the game websites and make maps in the Nv1.3 editor.

Running into traffic or some other unsafe situation, figuring you'll just respawn if something bad happens.

Also, watching an old war movie, and smugly saying something along the lines of "Come on, I could've dodged that easily" at the sad part when the protagonist's best friend is killed by a hail of machine-gun fire.

N eats gold, not absorbs them. Get your facts right. =3

No... he SUPER SLICES them and melts them down in a fraction of a second, and gulps it down...

I see Manus misinterpreted my post...

Hmmm... maybe. The "story" section of v1.4 refers to "an unquenchable thirst for gold", implying that the ninja drinks it...

You know you're addicted to N when you haven't actually played or made a map in five years, but still mysteriously hang around regardless.

Well.

A sign to show that you're addicted to N is when you open up a bag of M&M's and you see the letter N on one. (True Story)

Same.

I have definitely signed my name 'flag' a few times at school. Ah, fuck 'em.

When you see somebody/something got first, and you think "That's nice, but who won?"

You know you're addicted to N when you introduce your girlfriend to the community, and she ends up spending more time in IRC than you do.

Or worse, she becomes more poplar than you.
