You are a TBP junkie when:
1) You actually know your way around the website to the point where you know what ships are being worked on without having to post.
2) You can no longer remember the names of the ships in the original FS2.
3) You plan a trip to Hamilton just to hang out at computer stores, on the off chance IceFire might walk by.
4) Now, when you watch B5, whenever you see a Sharlin you flinch a little.
5) When Sinclair's talking about the Battle of the Line, all you can think of is, "been there, done that."

Feel free to add.

6) You keep yelling and screaming for the crew to make your favorite capship, player-flyable stuff be damned.
7) While playing the original FS2 campaign, you have an absurd urge to afterburn straight toward a Sathanas screaming "Not like this, not like this. If I'm going down, I'm taking you bastards with me."

8) You become highly militant when one of your friends starts talking about the Newtonian aspects of "Jumpgate."
8a) You are even more pissed, because such "friend" watches B5, used to play Freespace, and does NOT have TBP!


Yeah, I figured the Hamilton one was worth a shot. If anybody's gonna be by the Rochester Institute of Technology, bring your box, we'll dogfight.

9) You know all of the arguaments about B5 ships inside and out but debate the point anyway, just to be right.

10) You recogise every ship on the show, even the inconsistencies in armamnts between ships.

11) You are nice to the main people in the team in the futile hope that this will make the next release come out sooner.

12) You know every on-line piece of literature about B5 and have referenced most of it on this bulletin board.

13) You're aged between 15 and 25 and are a student.

14) You spend time thinking of humerous things to post, later to tell your friends who have never watched B5 about them.

15) You're name is IceFire, CptWhite, etc.

16) You see every night a dream of you and your friends flying around in starfurys blasting stuff. And in the morning you are not sure if it really happened or not...

17) Now when you play standard FS2, you put all your energy into engines and weapons. YOu're used to being without shields.
18) You've flown at least two missions which feature, Sheridan, asteroids, and nukes.
19) You've designed more than one mission with the above elements.

No, you've got that backwards, American currency is the funniest thing ever. It all looks the SAME with the exception of the number up in the top corner and a slightly different picture. No bloody color coding, no fancy infared reflectors, no shiny parts, your money is boring!

In any case, they replaced the 1 and 2 dollar bills with the loonie and the toonie. Loonie because there is a loon on it, toonie because its a double loonie (a dubloonie ).
