[iMac722]

Well, you know you have played too much SMAC when...
1. You see "talking heads" on Tv and think they are Transcendi.
2. You refer to your lawnmover as "Former."
3. You are afraid of little elderly ladies with red hair... especially if they are regurals in church... and especially if their name is Miriam.
4. You wonder why there are so much churches in you neighbourhood. Have the Believers taken over it?
5. You are hysterically afraid of normal earthworms.
6. You go to doctor and congratulate him for keeping people happy.
7. You refer to your computer as "Network Node".
8. You have karaoke version of "Deidre has a Network Node."

Hey! This idea could be expanded with SMACX now out...

1) You can do impersonations of every single voice in the game, including the aliens.
2) You start to wonder if your nerdy friend is really a Data Angel probe team member.
3) When a plane goes overhead, you run outside expecting to see the alien escape pods landing.
4) You decide to start your own cult. You splatter pink paint on your house, recruit some friends, then proceed to lead an assault on the industrial section of the nearest city.
5) You yell at the TV screaming, "That's not a Mayan temple! It's the Manifold Nexus! You fools!"
6) When someone askes about your sneezing, you comment "spore launchers."
7) You believe that power stations are really full of Cyborg citizens.
8) You're afraid to take boat trips, because you know that there are pirate bases out there.
9) You see a large radio dish, and believe it is a Subspace Generator. You then proceed to seach the country for any others and, when you find five more, you refuse to answer telephone calls and keep repeating "Too late... too late"
10) You have actually gotten into an argument with your friends about which alien faction deserves to win. (*cough cough* )

[edgecrusher]

someone guilty of that last one?

[Blunderdog]

You see a gigantic retro-style cheesecake ad of a woman in a tight red outfit and devil's horns and think "alien super former."

[Jasonian]

11) You start to classify colors with the factions. (eg: you see a teal building, and assume it's a Cyborg lab.)
12) You insult people based on what faction they match. ("Yeah whatever Deirdre! Why don't you go dancing naking through the trees, you eco-daft Nature Looney!!)
13) You see a new type of car, and assume it's an alien scout rover.
14) When someone askes you how much money you have, you comment "Insufficient energy." (and say it in a fast monotone voice)
15a) You add planks to the side of your boat, claiming you've given it the Marine Detachment ability.
15b) You then sail up to another boat and jump off the planks and claim that you've seized their boat and they have to get off.
16) You know more abou the sea from listening to the Pirate voiceovers then you've learned in school.
17) You make yourself a pair of Sinder Roze's glasses, and wear them all the time.
18) You use the alien sentence structure in your normal speech (I resonate: no like pasta. Requre: dinner: something else)
19) You find a sewer cover and quickly rush home. You return with some of your most prized possession, hoping that a dimentional rift will 'clone' them for you.
20) You have used some of the faction quotes in normal conversation, and you even quote the faction leader that said it. (or you add "datalinks" to the end)

Haha... this is fun! Join in guys!

20 1/2...you send a letter to your Congressman demanding "patches" to unfair or incomplete legislation.

[Patriqvium]

21) You refer kindergartens as "Children's Crechés"
22) You start to think why Fusion Power has not been invented even if we already have superconductors and pre-sentient algorithms

[Travathian]

When you play SMAC while watching TV and when something interesting on TV comes on you point the remote at your monitor to turn the volume down on the game.

24. You are eating tortillas and making a mess and your gf suggests that you add the food stuffs in a pholus ridge shaped form for +2 efficiency. (She is also an addict, as is the guy that rents a room from us. We're the smac family.

[Stefu]

25.When you refer to strike as "drone riot" and suggest sending some military to city to quell the disturbances.

26. When you vote for Gore since Democratic/Green gives you paradigm economy.

27. You hear about UN meeting and hope someone brings up the proposal of melting polar caps.

28. You pronounce "complete" as "conclete" - and always with same metallic twang.

29. You hear in TV about "illegal aliens" - and wonder what bad have Progenitors done this time.

30.You see that your neighbour's house is taken apart by city - and being crying that obliterating base is atrocity.

Oh, and:

When filling a form that asks:

Title (Mr/ Mrs/ Miss/ Ms/ Other)
