Hello. My name is piratey. and i'm an sf0 addict.

once upon a time. way back in the impossible exchange.. I was a sf0 addict. This was a true addiction. I had to know everything that went on on sf0. i obsessively checked the secret rss feed on everything anyone posted anywhere. I scoured every task. but most of all I had to task. It affected my work, my interactions with people, my relationships. everything was sf0. Now, I am not saying any of this was particularly a bad thing. Enjoying sf0 is great. But more than just wanting to task, more than just having Drive, i needed to score. i became addicted to score. I was no longer playing. it was a full time job. Friends and family members urged me to stop. it had gotten out of hand. out of control. In fact, I had to call a truce with my then Nemisis Oliver X, in order to finish my thesis. If he hadn't agreed i would not have graduated college. i lost track of that magic that had drawn me to the game in the first place. When i realized that- i quit. cold turkey. At the end of Impossible Exchange i vowed never to play for score again.

Unfortunately for me, this meant i did not play at all. I found that without the competition aspect, without the points, without the SCORE, i had no Drive.

As time went on, I gradually regained my Drive, the good kind. The kind that makes you look at a task and go "hey, that gives me a great idea." I felt like less of a person without sf0. I felt less creative. less engaged in the world. Less hope in humanity. All the good things that sf0 brings to your life. I missed it. But by then I felt like it had been too long. I had lost touch. didn't know the "history" of the recent eras. didn't know how to come back. how to reemerge into sf0, as a different kind of player.

So i decided (with the help of this task) to have one last "hit" of playing for Score. to jump me back in. To get my Fix. However, I hope that i will prove that i have kicked my Score addiction, and am left with a much more healthy addiction to Pure sf0. In all its glory.

Stay tuned friends.. I have an adventure to tell you about.
