Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new here and I have to admit, I'm addicted to this game just like mostly everyone else. And I love the community atmosphere.

Basically, I'm wondering, fellow detectives, how do YOU find time for sleuth? Do you have a schedule of playing times? How much time do you play on average? At what time during the day do you prefer to play? Anything else I should know about your sleuthing habits?

Let me know, I appreciate any replies. : )

*grin* OK, I'm a true addict. I log in as soon as I get up in the morning if I logged out early enough the night (morning) before to get enough sleep to wake up in time before I go to work. I log in at work when there is a lull or it's break time. I log in the minute I walk in the door when I get home from work. I stay logged in for the rest of the night and only break off to cook dinner or if someone cuts their leg off. I sometimes don't log off until 3:am. My husband is threatening divorce, the dogs and cats are on strike, and the house is burning around me. I don't care. I'm Sleuthing.

lol, Della, it is EXACTLY 3AM while I'm writing this :)

the question should be what parts of your non-sleuth life do you sacrifice to score more sleuth-time?

*stares at pile of dirty laundy and wonders if it has a motive*

I can only play at work because my pc at home is broke ( I fried the harddrive) and I log on as soon as I get to work and dont really log off until its time to go home.

*grin* Crunch, it was exactly 3:00 am when I logged out! And the pile of dirty laundry DOES have a motive! Mine tripped me!

haha...*makes time to polygraph Della's laundry*

turns out the murder-slash-tripping weapon was...(suspenseful music plays)...the jhodpurs. Their accomplice was the lime-green blouse.

*can never trust anything lime-green again*

When I get home from school, I log in, play for like, three hours, and log out, then in four hours, I log back in, play for an hour, then I'm done. I've taken/created the S.A. (Sleuthers Anonymous) and have remained obsession free for two months.

I find playing Sleuth is definitely something I'm looking forward to when I get home from uni or teaching at a school

LOL! Crunch, no wonder! I would never wear lime green! *shudders* I Like dark greens. Lime green would make me look ghastly! It's going to the incinerator along with the jhodpurs! *shudders again* Fat women like me should NOT wear jhodpurs.

Madame, I refuse to attend SA. I like my addiction! *grins*

*Eyes glaze over and a tiny spot of drool appears on lip* Must get back to sleuthing...
