It takes a little effort to get on Xaphod's top four list (I should know, I've tried - and succeeded). By the way, pointless posts make up only a small fraction of my posts, except for comedy value and for an ongoing debate/discussion.

The point of this post is two-fold. First for the above statement. Second for:

366) You have a fantastic champagne and chocolate (or any sort of) party and come back at the end of the night to post on this forum.
367) You want men in space suits in the mod despite them being only 2 metres long and virtually impossible to see.
368) You become increasingly desperate to see the next release, the longer time goes by.
369) You decide that the only way that TBP will advance in its progress is to do some work on it yourself.
370) You check all past episodes for inspirational material and to check your canonicity of any work produced.
371) You love Babylon 5 so much that you make CD copies of your videos to take with you to university because you only have a PC in your room.
372) You spread the word about the mod and have hooked at least two non-Babylon 5 loving people on TBP.
373) You can't wait for IFH to be released but consider it a sin against the almighty TBP.
374) You don't need the links to Babylon 5 sites to be placed in your favourites folder as you know the websites' addresses off by heart (including all relevant subfolders).
375) You have the TBP as somebody else's computer's homepage in the hope that TBP will grow on them.
376) You convince people to go out and buy Freespace 2 just to download the TBP mod despite them never having watched Babylon 5.

Are they enough relevant posts for this thread?????

380) You regret doing that, because of her Ivanova impressions.

381) you start having TBP MB withdrawl symptoms while having to remain offline incase your mother calls from her vacation.

382) You browse the internet for more than two hours whilel waiting for someone to post something new & intresting about the mod, IFH, a ship, sex or some other topic, whether relevent to TBP or not. :biggrin:

383) you sit here for at least five minutes trying to decide whether or not to put the "(sarcastically)" onto the "roll eyes smily or not ( here goes :rolleyes(sarcastic):

384) Your girlfriend liked Babylon 5 before you even started watching it. (true for me)
385) You consider yourself an expert on Babylon 5 and Babylon 5 trivia.

BTW, would people be interested in an online Babylon 5 quiz? I think it could be fun

By a quiz, I mean one team/player against another rather than a "fill in the answers on a sheet" type. That could be fun if it was organised and done on ICQ for example.

411) You run into problems in math class because you do everything in base eleven. (Minbari math)

416) using the word document you've so obviously made, you count up exactly how many posts each person has posted to this thread.

417) you dislike Truespace, but spend £250 on it anyway...

418) you can't play Freespace 2 unless you alter the lighting to remove the ambience (which I have done)

419) Your computer is old so you decide to buy a new one/graphics card just so you can run the large battles.
420) You refuse to play the game in conditions other than total darkness and silence, with the volume on your speakers tuned up and a difficulty of insane.
421) You start shouting "Alpha 2, it's a trap, break!" at your screen when playing the Battle of the Line.
422) You decide one Starfury (you) versus six Nials is more than fair due to your superior dogfighting skills.
423) You insist on playing normal Freespace 2 with no shields because to do otherwise just wouldn't be right for a fighter.
424) You know the "real" settings in Fred 2 to produce a nuclear explosion in the game.
425) Playing missions with asteroids in just seems too dangerous.

426) going from 424 and 425, you attempt to recreate the way Sheridan destroyed the BlackStar in TBP

427) "Battle of Endor syndrome? what's that? Hmm? Battle of the Line Syndrome?, now you're talking!"

428) When people say dumb things to you in real life, you say "colon rolleyes colon"

429) you try sending in an SMS text message

430) You think about regurgitating old reasons but can't face the shame of someone finding out.
431) You confuse events from B5 with real life.
432) You think only about what you could do next for TBP, not about what you should be getting your girlfriend for Valentine's day.
433) You take precautions to make sure your dead wife doesn't turn up on Valentine's day (see #431).
434) You give your girlfriend TBP on CD as a gift because she has had difficulty downloading it.
435) You give your girlfriend TBP on CD as a gift anyway, despite the fact she doesn't even own a computer (nobody should be without TBP).
436) You do all of this but still don't get Edwin a copy (too much hassle).
