The Hommahollic Survey; what is youre level of addiction
Well, I finally got it finished (not that you’ve really been expecting it), Welcome to the Hommaholic survey. Now, even though there are some questions here applying to things that might only be true in America, However I’m sure most of you are well-educated enough to know what Mcdonald’s is and the President of The U.S. (since you’ve probably heard lots of jokes about him) However just in case u don’t , I can tell you
Mcdonalds=Cheap fast food restaurant, whose mascot is a gay-looking clown
President = Goerge w. Bush--- almost gets more insults then the previous President Bill Clinton
Siked(not sure if I spelled this right)= excited, enthralled, invigorated, pumped up.or something like that
Now its time to get started, time to test you’re level of Addiction. As u will soon realize the D. option for every question is an extreme extreme, so even though nobody’s really that addicted (I hope), its just for fun so I think it would be cool to get a few people who selected mostly or maybe all D.’s. Well, anyways here it is I worked long and hard come up with some of these, so… Enjoy…please!!
1. How often do You usually play Heroes
A.Not much because of your busy schedule.
B.A few times a week, whenever u nothing else important to do.
C.Every chance you get between work and sleep and eating of course
D.Until the nice men in white jackets physically pry you off the keyboard, and drag you kicking and screaming back to your happy little padded room. But what they don’t know is you have a laptop hidden between the padding with a secret connection. Mwahahahaha.
2. The President of the United States is.
A.Goerge w. Bush
B.Bush, but you aren’t really aware of nor do u really care about recent political issues, heroes and your other hobbies are much more fun
C.Well you’re not sure exactly, last time u saw anything about the election, u know it was between Bush and Gore but then they had to stall to do some “recount”. This of course inspired you to do a little recount of your own on your TOH win/loss record. And since then you’ve just been to busy trying to get the ratio to go in your favor.
D.President? What President? You mean king, right ?!! Of course! Ahhhhhhh , the wonderful King of Tymeria
3. When going to an auto dealer
A.You do as much research as possible to get the best deal and haggle with the dealer to get an even better deal,
B.You do minimal research, and pretty much take whatever they give u, after u have a gaming match tonight u don’t want to waste time buying a car.
C.You grab the cheapest thing u can find and rush back home to get online, u don’t worry about expenses or gas cuz u only use to get to work after all.
D.You just can’t decide between the car with expert logistics or the one with advanced path-finding.
4. When your boss approaches u about staff shortages, you
A.Offer to work extra hours
B.Decide u could help out after all extra money is always good, especially for games like Homm4
C.Tell him u normally would but u have Clan matches all week, as a matter of fact U have one today, sooo..
D.Tell him if had upgraded to castle, like u told him to, there would be many more peasants available to recruit this week, guess theres always next week.
5. When the boss finally hires a new guy and has you train him..
A.You do you’re best to inform of all the company policies and rules
B.Tell him about this cool game u have called heroes 3
C.NO matter how uninterested he is, you still give him detailed info on all your heroes and their campaigns, all the details such as stats, armies, towns etc.
D.Give him advice on what he should do week 1..but why does he keep looking at u like that when I call him a newbie though, doesn’t he know what he is?
6. When playing heroes you typically wear
A.Casual, normal clothes
B.Choice A. or maybe a Homm t-shirt/hat
C.Either B. or since u were too lazy to get dressed..you’re underwear
D.Usually you were the costume of your favorite hero (u have have them all custom made and u have every heroes outfit except for the ones that suck however, to get really siked up for an Important tournament match, you wear your $2000 full plate armor, custom made complete with sword and shield(looks just like crusader armor)
7. When people start to tell you that you’ve playing a little too much heroes 3, you…
A. Say they’re probably right and immediately engage in any social activity.
B.You start to think that perhaps you are… so u take a break, until tomorrow
C.Ignore them and keep pounding on newbies, hoping homm4 doesn’t get delayed again, that way they can’t complain anymore—You’ll be playing homm4!!
D.Tell them- “That is no way to address me!! I shall have ye reprimanded for that!! What are u, a mere plebe--While I am a ranking Colonel!!! Ohhhhhh, they’ll surely throw u in the dungeon for this!!!
8. When your friends ask you for money, you
A.Give them your extra change
B. Give them cash so they’ll leave you alone and u can play heroes
C. Recommend they play heroes too, since u can win cash in tournaments!!
D. Tell them to upgrade to Capitol.
9. You’re heroes career might end when…
A.Winter/Summer break ends
B.You get a life
C.A thief steals your pc
D.You get arrested after u walk into a Mcdonald’s with a shotgun and demand to have everyone’s relics, when they give u nothing but strangelooks u shoot them all for “gold” and “experience”. After being arrested u realize u didn’t get +1 wisdom for that level up.
10. You’re heroes career might continue when ..
A.You find an old buddy who still plays so to amuse him so do you..
B.Homm4 comes out
C.You buy a new pc and homm4 comes out!!! DOUBLE BONUS!!!
D.U are convicted as being mentally unstable and taken away to an Asylum. But wait they have computers there and –look u brought Heroes complete, well whaddya know.
Well as u can see the ratings are rather obvious but I’ll throw one together real quick anyways.
If u answered mostly
A.You call yourself a Hommaholic?! GET OUTTA HERE,U ARENT WANTED
B.Ahhhhh, so you’ve discovered the wonderful world of Heroes just play a little longer, it wont hurt you!!
C.If you keep playing at this rate You’ll be a Heroes Champ in no time. Youre also one step away from becoming…
D.Fully Commited!!! Okay You’ve been playing heroes a little too long_--whatever you say is absolute law, even if u say Hydras and Bone Dragons are top lvl 7 units, nobody’s gonna disgree with you—ok u can put that gun down now!!!(psssssst he’s crazy!!)
Ok well hope you enjoyed this, please give me your comments after the answers. Did u like it? Was it funny? Or stupid? If u liked it, I could definetly use more suggestions for Hommaholics survey part 2: Withdrawal. Actually that’s just a title I came up with at the spur of the moment. Also just to let you know I’m actually starting a Hommaholics series I have about 4 more posts planned so far here they are
1.Homm creatures, do they exist?:turning the myth into reality features unusual ways to find your favorite homm creatures in our everyday lives!!
2.The Celebrities - Heroes Unusual Crazy Transmorgification Device or Chuctd for short, yes it’s a lot of weird unusual words but hey its Fun if u have any other suggestiond like words whose abbreviations would make an actual word please feel free to comment> anyways basically this is a way to turn any famous/well-known person u know into a Hero!!
3.My personal story on how I became addicted to Homm 3
4.The sequel to the Hommaholic post: the Twilight “Zone”. it can be a very scary place a times
Well that’s all for now I can’t wait to hear youre replies and suggestions so plz just answer all the questions and have fun!!

Yes Ashnir that was youre suggestion, as a matter a fact u were the only one with a suggestion(and thanks)!! See, I really do use suggestions so if u have any for the next hommaholic survey please list them too after u fill it out(i've just about drained all the marow from my funny bone.
I still only have 7 people who filled this out,hmm I know its not the most important thing here but i thought a little more people would enjoy it enough to fill it out real quick, Well, its only been for a day so guess I cant complain too much. But please more poeple and btw I still havent seen a person with all 4's (cept maybe Unkahakoon) u dont haftas take it real seriously now, its just a joke(though I know 4's are quite scary at times). And also for those questions that u would put N/A or stuff u dont do u just pretend and say what u would do.. well not like I should be telling u what to type but jus tsome comments
Again thanks to all who have replied so far...

hommaholic...maybe!!..:)
well here goes....
1. C(but forget about the work, sleep and eating)
2. D(dont need a king though..Im the queen..
3. D(fast is the main thing so I get back to homm quick)
4. C(would be the answer if I had a boss)
5. B, C & D(I tell everyone about homm3 and get crazy
looks all the time)
6. It depends....if Im having a really addicted day
starting around 5 or 6am then Im in my pjs...I have been
known to take the kids to school in my pjs cos I have
someone waiting in a battle for me to get back...and if
I have a day with consecutive games I might pick them up
in the afternoon still in my pjs...
7. Now the answer to this is easy...you have to learn to lie
and then nobody knows how much you really play..
8. B..But nobody asks ppl with four kids for money...except
for the kids..hehe
9. C..but I have it insured so it wouldnt be for long!
10.Well I hope that my homm addiction wont end but maybe my
connection wont handle homm4.. if that is the case then
Ill have to conn you all into playing homm3 still!
That was fun Chaotic...tx

Survey:
1: How often do I play Heroes? B
I play whenever I can usually. But that 'whenever I can' is often determined by my busy work schedule, my flailing life schedule and my unwind time schedule. It also depends upon how tired I am, and who's on the Zone and whether or not I have any friends coming over or if I'm going out. And then if I do get the chance, it's usually a save continue or a fun game with a good friend.
2: The President of the United States is: Z
LOL I'm more worried about the price of petrol! Who cares who the president is?
3: When I go to an car dealer: B
If I wanted to haggle, I'd buy private. Hell car dealers have to make money don't they? Usually they don't sell a car that's worth $10k for $50k, they sell it for $11-$12k. I don't care, just as long as they got the car I'm looking for.
4: Boss and staff shortages: A
I don't know why, I'm ridiculously overworked as it is, but I always tell him 'okay, I'll see what I can do.' He doesn't know that I have another job though...
5: New person and training: A
I don't tell anyone about my HoMM addiction. They'd die if they knew!
6: What do I usually wear? A and C
Casual clothes are usually my favourite, but some times I find myself playing just after I wake up outta bed and had a shower. I've played Heroes all day in a wet towel and was sick for days afterwards, so now I try and wear something. Moccasins will usually do!
7: People tell me I'm playing too much Heroes 3...
I usually go out with them. I don't know about you guys, but it's pretty embarrassing to tell people you spend all of your spare time on the net playing games. Especially when you have a reputation to uphold, LMAO!
8: Friends ask for money: B
Give them cash! What are friends for?
9: Heroes career ending: ABCD
What the hell are you saying?! My god my career could come to an end?! EEEEK! No frickin' way! Oh yes, that's right, I don't actually have a heroes career. I'm still a Plebe!
10: My career might continue when... C
Lol see Answer Nine!

Oh btw where do you play cos I have never seen you in the zone?? I have been to other sites that supposedly host heroes games but have never found anyone there to play....if there are other good homm3 gaming sites Id like to hear about them..
