Obsessed? I think not!
 

Hey. :)

I’m going to show you just how excited
I am for Pirates of the Caribbean Online.
Keep in mind I am a very organized person,
and I love putting things in order.

So for the past week, I spent hours making
a lovely Pirates Online….. binder! Wewt.
Shocking, huh?

Here is what it looks like:

*Yep. Those are POTC valentines. LOL.*

Inside there are dividers with the cannon,
cutlass, doll, dagger, pistol, grenade, and
staff headings. That way I keep all my item
categories separated. For example, Grenade:

I also spent a few minutes (cough5hourscough)
taking 200 index cards, folding them in half and
stapling two cards together *which makes 100
booklets.* Now when I start the game in a few
months, I can keep track of my item values and
how many of that item I have. It even has a
little picture of the item, printed out from the
useful disneyworldsonline website. Got to love
that…

Obsessed? I think not! Just incredibly organized.
(Thank you school!)

And yes… I also hate getting in trouble, so I
decided to put the Pirates Online Forums
guidelines in there. He he…

And then today I found out I don’t have enough
RAM to play. Yay me! Oh well, I get to go on POF
more often, which works out great. :)

LOL dotn feel bad I have been playing Star wars galxies for 2 years now and i have 6 or 7 binders between walk-thrus and quest maps and checklists and guild members and planet and house locations. at least right now we cant buy a house and drop it to store stuff in.. just give diseny time to castch up.. I see this MMO exploding very quickly into the world of SWG and WOW.. as long as they load the game on a some better servers once it goes live to stop the lag.. but I love your idea of the v-day cards,, now I know what to do with the few i left over lol

My hero! I love well organized binders. I have one for Toontown with each page in a page protector and color coded. Looks like Pirates has way more info to know about so your system will be very handy.

Well... that's interesting. *cough* OBSESSED *cough* :)

Oh, wow! And I thought I was obsessed with Tim Burton stuff! That's crazy! Makes me wanna do something like that ;)

~Pink

that's really cool... not obsessive, just creative ;)

I didnt know there are people like you exist.

Haha, there definately are... trust me. I'm EXTREMELY obsessed with Tim Burton films.

~Pink

Yep. It's called hobbies.

Like Disney pin traders with hundreds of pins.

Or even gamers who play games so well, that they get paid if they win.

School is also like that. I once had a binder for my English class that weighed five
pounds.



Ouch. :(

Hehe, yeah, I normally go all out when it comes to designing my binders for school. It can take me hours to put them together.

~Pink

But the hobbies became your life...

lol, I don't think it's become her life... like she said, she's an organized person, which is why she made the binder. It's no big deal :mickeypiratezd4:

~Pink

No it didn't... I'm not weird... So yeah...

Seriously, yeah. It is just a binder, Cannon. What's the big deal? Maybe there are
people like me who want to keep track of where their stuff is, how much they
have of it, and if it is rare or not so I don't get scammed when I start trading.

It's a very good idea, I might add :)

~Pink

But its just a game..............why do you need to do all that for a game?..doesnt it bore you atleast for a minute?

If she didn't have fun doing it, I don't think she would be ;)

~Pink

I know it is just a game.............................................. dot.dot.dot...........................dots.

I don't need all that for a game.............................................. ............................dotters.

..........................But maybe..........hmmm.......maybe there is some small chance that
I am not you, I do not think like you, or I don't do whatever you do for fun.


Maybe I want a place to organize and keep information about Pirates Online.
Like if I were to want to buy a pistol, I would already have how much they cost,
where to buy it, and everything else I need to know really fast.


This is my ten dollars a month.
If you would like to go ahead and not make a binder or anything, that's okay. I
don't care about what you do.

As for me, I'm going to make sure I know exactly how much an item is worth.


Pirates will be something I do once I finish my homework. So no, Cannon. It's not
my life.

Hey Cannon,

If it was "just" a game, you wouldn't have gone through the effort of becoming a member of this website, or creating your POF user profile and avatar.

People, like CrimsonDoom, who are fans of games or teams or whatever, show their love and appreciation through creative outlets, like wearing team jerseys or hats, or creating themed binders. Its natural, and in CrimsonDoom's case, she just likes to be thorough. Nothing wrong with that. No need to keep harping on her.

I came to this site because I want to know more about what im playin and .........i feel like im getting flamed...and Im sorry if it hurted anyones feeling because im seeing it in my prepective.

You're not getting flamed, at least not any more than your "flaming" of Crimson Doom. You came to this site because you want to know more about what you're playing, and thats understandable, just as it is understandable for CrimsonDoom to make a binder to better understand what she is playing. Savvy?

I think it's totally cool! Now in my school - everything was done by making an outline - I think I can make anything into an outline at this stage - LOL - but it is the same idea that you have with the binder - right now, my outline from info during phase I Beta is about 15 pages long.... and that is only the outline - no details as yet - obessessed??? maybe - I know I am... I review every pic I took during phase I (not halfway through them all yet) and half the time instead of clicking on the "close" button, I click on the "chest" button in the pic - as if it will return me to the game - - - sigh - - I miss it :piratewhip:
