You mark the passing days in phase deadlines and the in-game clock.
You try to get your wife to agree to switch your anniversary to Halloween or Christmas, because those are the days your games don't process deadlines.
You've played in at least one game titled "World War 3" (or some variation thereof.)
In fact, half your games have had "World War" in the title in some format.
Not only do you know who Allan B. Calhamer is, but you know where he lives too.
He has a restraining order on you.
You've ignored it to make sure he got your last dozen letters explaining what a genius he is.
Your real life friends have staged an intervention on your behalf to deal with your addiction.
Several Playdiplomacy users are in attendance as well.
When your wife asked you, while shopping for milk, if you should get the jug or not, security had to be called to stop you from rounding up everyone in the store into an alliance to stop the threat.
You're still trying to persuade your wife to have seven kids, so that they'll always have a full board.
You wonder why there is no World Tour of Diplomacy, like there is for Poker.
You intend to start one up yourself.
All the major sports networks have already blocked your phone number and email, so you'll stop bugging them about a TV deal for it.
You're gathering their HQ addresses as we speak.
You plan your vacation for wherever there's a Dip tournament going on.
You take gross pleasure carving up the turkey on Thanksgiving/Christmas.
When you were planning your trip to Belgium last summer, you spent more money on phone calls to England and Germany to ask for support in than you did on your plane ticket.
Your knowledge of European geography often conflicts with that of your coworkers'. (No one knows where Galicia or Livonia are, yet they insist Ireland is a real place.)
When a friend tells you about his upcoming trip to Spain, you ask whether he's going to the north coast or the south coast.
You have a very large knife collection.
You sharpen each one. Every day. Twice.
Alright, I'm done. (For now.)
Your turn - any other signs of addiction to add to the list?
