would luv to see the stat on how many marriages actually ended because of AH or somehow partly responsible for it.

I know a few.

as said before wife prefers me drinkin and cartoon flying, than drinkin and driving.  It's when ya combine the both that can really be fun.(off road of course)

Go out with firends and come home really late...

Make her wonder what your doing going out at night and coming back late and she will apreciate this 'game' that keeps you occupied at home.

This is what I hear when I'm playing...

1. "Honey! Come downstairs and watch What Not To Wear (on TLC) with me"
Me": Oh gawdammit

2. "Are you on your game again!?"
Me: No. I am just checkign my e-mail (As I'm shooting down a spit from my B17 tail-gun)

3. "Come cuddle me"
Me: Are you naked?
No. But come down stairs anyhow.

I made a deal if I buy her a computer,she'll get a scond account on AH and gun for me on bombing raids.


:rolleyes: :lol :rofl :aok
When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

Get an 8inch solid steel door with 20 locks. Might want to reinforce your walls as well. Maybe add another chair with a .303 mounted on it to the back of your chair. Some side .303s might help as well.

And when all that is done the enemy (a female in most cases here ;) ) will just flip a switch in the fuze box or pull the internet cable. "honey, can you please put that back?" wont work then i think.

Careful, that may backfire.

Before you know it you will need to have a pile of cash next to the bed too :D

Mr. No Name wins.

If you negotiate, you're toast. Might as well uncouple your own goolies and hand them to her in a jar, so they don't cause any more trouble.

Yeah well, I'm speaking from experience myself.

Not proud of it.

It was fairly late and the kids were all asleep. She thought she'd surprise me and came down to the computer room scantily clad, and invite me to the bedroom. I had a hard time explaining perks and kills landed, and the game does not have a pause button to her. She just couldn't develop an appreciation for my situation. No matter how hard I tried. Needless to say the 50 odd perks I earned upon landing paled against the days of agony I later endured.

Lesson, " bail and go to tower NOW!" Don't even speak, just do it.

Exactly.  If you cave, they have learned how to control you, they then lose respect for you and you become dull and weak in their eyes.

It's a simple principle: Either you are training them or they are training you... Dont get caught on the wrong end of that whip!

Just noticed how you said, "HAD" a girlfriend.:confused:

At first this GAME is really addictive.

DOn't let it make your family go away.There are some players who have divorced over this game, well not the GAME but the fact that the Player spends all his free time in front of the monitor @ war with red icons & Toolsheds.
